Costs and benefits of good animal welfare - for animals, farmers and society
- 2022
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Society’s demand for good animal welfare has led to discussions about the costs of achieving and maintaining one. This is relevant to Swedish animalbased food production, because producers in Sweden in many respects have stricter requirements than farmers in other countries. They therefore face competition from imported foods produced under less strict animal welfare regulations. At the same time, good animal welfare can have a value in itself and can provide benefits for animals, farmers and society.

Kostnader och vinster med gott djurskydd : för djur, lantbrukare och samhälle
- 2022
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Samhällets krav på god djurvälfärd har lett till diskussioner om kostnaderna för att uppnå och upprätthålla en sådan. Detta är relevant för svensk djurbaserad livsmedelsproduktion, eftersom producenter i Sverige i många avseenden har hårdare krav än i andra länder. De möter därför konkurrens från importerade livsmedel som producerats med mindre strikta djurskyddsbestämmelser. Samtidigt kan gott djurskydd ha ett värde i sig och ge fördelar för djur, lantbrukare och samhälle.

After Work
- 2019
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Economic stress under wage earning has been abolished. Machines and AI have taken over dirty, heavy and tedious work. Money and social injustice are banned. All the technological resources of humanity can be used to reset the global economy to harmonize with ecology. Free citizens can spend their time in leisure practicing, music, art, and poetry. Visions of the future are already here.But is it a utopia that we are seeing materializing around us or a dystopia? What will happen to people when nobody wants their labor? Does there already exist a firm border between those who have a job, with all that it entails of social and economic benefits, and the people that are on the other side of the fence- the people that have to sell their work by the hour, and who in practice are modern slaves under apps and SMS. Is everything for sale? Can you sell voluntary labour?During this exhibition, these issues are further developed through artworks by Work-a-work.

Artist Salary Now!
- 2018
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Should we spend our time filling out forms or making art? was the rhetorical question that acted as a starting point for “Konsnärslön nu!”, an event at Gallery Tegen2 in Stockholm in September 2018. Over a period of a month, a group of artists performed a think tank and a campaign headquarters as a means to provoke discussion. The exhibition also provided space for a series of semi-public talks where the question of a possible basic income for artists was further developed during the exhibition. The talks engaged activists from the universal basic income movement, politicians, researchers, and artists. In this report we describe the ideas behind the project and the discussions that evolved in the talks and interviews with artists. As a result of the project we propose an artist salary as a pilot for a future basic income, a salary that eventually will be for everyone (not only artists). A salary to allow for time to take care of our commons and existential issues. A modest salary based on the modest needs of artists. Unlike a universal basic income, it is intended for a specific purpose, our shared society. And, since we claim that society is an art, it is up to each one of us to define what society is.

Performing the Common : Recognition in Online Participatory Processes
- 2012
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- How can e-participation be understood? New information communication technologies (ICT) create new types of public spheres, while old social hierarchies prevail. Grounds for discrimination e.g. gender, age, and ethnicity, are just as common online as in other social contexts. Moreover, socio-economic inequalities are emphasized rather than reduced. Therefore it is important to carefully investigate the participatory processes at stake when creating ICT systems aimed at supporting democracy. How can political participatory processes online be understood without relying on a simplistic view of communication technology and political participation? How can we create more open-ended models to understand e-participation in the dynamic, fluid and highly mediated situations of contemporary society? In this thesis, these questions are explored through an iterative process in two studies described in three papers. The first study discusses how participation in a global community can be understood by translating its organizational principles into a digital system of cooperation. The initial investigation demonstrated how important identity is for technology-using behavior. It also discussed the importance of socio-economic factors for participation in online public spheres. By studying how an interest-based common is established and translating this into design principles for collaborative software, we create a model of how the common can be constituted online. The thesis also discusses what motivates participation in locally situated commons, i.e. how one can understand the connection between the individuals' globally scattered communities of interest and their participation in the local culture. The second study emanates from an art exhibition in the public space, and is used as a platform to explore the conditions for e-participation in a neighborhood of Stockholm.
