Det kommunikativa handlandet. : Kulturella perspektiv på medier och konsumtion
- 2000
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Att handla eller shoppa är inte bara att betala pengar i utväxling mot en vara, utan också en form av kommunikation. Människor köper och använder varor i samspel med varandra och för att skapa kommunikation.Hela samhället och vardagslivet genomsyras alltmer av medier, och därför är konsumtionen av varor alltmer en konsumtion av medier. Dessutom bärs själva den kommersiella kulturen upp av olika mediebudskap och andra medel för kommunikation - såväl i postorder och internethandel, som i varje modernt köpcentrum med sina telefoner, reklam och TV-monitorer.Denna bok väver samman teorier om konsumtion och medieanvändning. Utgångspunkten är kulturanalytisk: här koncentreras intresset till hur mening skapas i det kommunikativa handlandet, något som bryter ny mark för konsumtionsforskningen, som annars oftast varit strikt ekonomisk och försummat mediernas roll. Den förnyar även medieforskningen genom att vidga mediebegreppet och sätta in människors mediebruk i ett större konsumtionssammanhang.Det kommunikativa handlandet : kulturella perspektiv på medier och konsumtion

Två drömspel : från Strindbergs modernism till Potters television
- 2004
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis studies the relations between modernism, mass culture and visual media. Using the dramatic form of the ”dream play” as focal point, it compares the drama of August Strindberg with the television series of Dennis Potter, and the theories of Walter Benjamin with those of Raymond Williams. The purpose is to elucidate how categories of high and low operate within different cultural fields (avant-garde theatre and quality television), and different strands of cultural theory (the Frankfurt school and Cultural Studies).Strindberg’s dreamplays, in particular To Damascus (1898) and A Dreamplay (1901), are introduced by using models from the field theory of Pierre Bourdieu. The genesis and reception of the dreamplays are thus related to oppositions between commercial and independent production in the Swedish cultural field, and how these tensions are refracted in the form and themes of the plays. Attention then turns to Benjamin’s and Williams’ early work on drama. Benjamin’s analysis of allegory is related to his conception of mass culture as dream world. William’s analysis of naturalism to his conception of television as technology and cultural form. Their allusions to Strindberg’s dreamplays are used to raise specific questions about the media: how does modern art anticipate new technologies? How has 20th century cultural theory been affected by film and television?Potter’s work, in particular The Singing Detective (1986), is finally considered in the light of these themes. The characteristics of Potter’s drama (non-naturalism, interior drama) are compared to Strindberg’s, and to analytical concepts developed by Williams (flow, the enclosed room). Benjamin’s interpretations of allegory and mass culture are compared to Potter’s use of popular songs and detective conventions. Potter’s position in relation to the opposition between commercial and public service television, and the conception of high and low in Potter’s texts, are related to the logic of cultural fields.

Advancing Cultural Studies in Sweden : An Infrastructural Initiative
- 2001
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Societal changes make culture increasingly central but also problematise it. New per-spectives are needed to meet these challenges. The international field of cultural studies is a promising effort to answer these challenges and vitalise cultural research. Sweden may make a significant and indeed unique contribution to this effort, but im-portant steps remain to be taken with this purpose. One such step would be to install a new national-international research institute on a higher level, in order to connect disciplines, universities and regions, and push innovative developments forward.Against such a background, this report leads up to an outline of a proposed new Advanced Cultural Studies Institute of Sweden (ACSIS). This is yet only a proposal, writ-ten at a time when ACSIS yet only exists as an imaginary utopia – though living with an extraordinary vitality in the minds of a wide intellectual network of committed scholars. Funding is presently being sought for, but it is not yet decided in what exact manner the ideas presented here will eventually be made real. The formulation of tasks, organisation and budget is thus yet a hypothetical model.Still, this bold adventure has reached a long way since its first inception. The ACSIS has long been an attractive dream for me and for many of my colleagues among cultural researchers. It is a very great pleasure to see the plans crystallised thus far, as the journey towards an ACSIS has reached its last and decisive phase.The report results from a committee work funded by the Bank of Sweden Tercen-tenary Foundation (Riksbankens jubileumsfond), and the Swedish Council for Re-search in the Humanities and Social Sciences (Humanistisk-samhällsvetenskapliga forskningsrådet). I had the great pleasure to work together with Svante Beckman, Ulf Hannerz, Lisbeth Larsson, Britta Lundgren, Orvar Löfgren, Ove Sernhede and Ulf Lindberg, and was reliably assisted by Åsa Bäckström. The group started working in January 2000, with a series of working meetings. Each member of the group has also had intense discussions of the basic ideas with other Swedish and international scholars, in meetings and by personal communication.Many therefore deserve warm thanks for making this report possible. The material and mental support by the two research funding bodies was essential, as was the generous and always stimulating collaboration in the committee. Linköping Univer-sity and the City of Norrköping have been overwhelmingly supportive towards this unique proposal, further strengthening our faith in its potential. We are also grateful to all those many Swedish and foreign researchers with whom these ideas have been discussed. The National Institute for Working Life programme for Work and Culture in Norrköping was a most hospitable host for this whole planning project.
