- Place as Heritage: Participation and Dialogue in Practice This paper summarizes findings from the research project Landscapes of Participation: Negotiations and contestations in cultural resource management. The project combined disciplines from business administration, human ecology and social anthropology in an inquiry into how public participation was put in practice in three different cases studies in Sweden and South Africa. One case concerned the proposed remaking of a shutdown nuclear power plant into a site of national heritage, another dealt with the debated future of a former steam ferry station and the third a case of land restitution to individuals who were evicted from their neighborhood during Apartheid. All three cases involved sites or buildings subject to intense debate and contestation regarding their meaning and use. Through fieldwork, interviews and collaborative photography the project investigated how various stakeholders, in particular local residents, experienced their possibilities for participation in decisions regarding these places. Findings show that the outcome of participatory processed depended on contextual factors such as social, cultural and temporal dimensions of the places under negotiation.

Negotiations on Place and Heritage: Public Participation as Social Drama

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In his work on political performances and their symbolic features, Victor Turner probes how social actions, resulting from the flouting of social norms of behavior and conduct in social communities by certain actors, acquire form through a four-step ritualized movement. This paper suggests that the same four phases may occur in democratic efforts to increase the public’s participation in social planning. Drawing on the case studies in three cities, this paper investigates how individuals became mobilized in negotiations regarding specific sites. Through focusing on the meanings, intentions and aspirations of the concerned actors, the paper analyzes the particular circumstances in which the actors involved in a participatory process in these cities operate. The cities are Helsingborg and Barsebäck in Sweden and Cape Town in South Africa. It will be demonstrated that in such engagement processes, participatory practice is situated in a certain historical and social context that gives structure and meaning to these procedures. Further, this participatory process manifests a complex situation where cultural identity, diverse interests, expediency and morality are indivisible.

Delaktighetens landskap : tillgänglighet och inflytande inom kulturarvssektorn
- 2010
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Den här studien är resultatet av ett forsknings- och utvecklingsprojekt som undersöker hur olika lokala grupper förstår och tolkar begreppet delaktighet och på vilket sätt deltagandet har skett i några olika kulturvårdsinsatser. Tre fall har valts som alla präglas av någon slags konfliktproblematik, eftersom detta ställer deltagandets möjligheter och begränsningar på sin spets. Ur ett empiriskt perspektiv handlar fallstudierna om platser och miljöer som inte tidigare har hanterats som kulturarv, men som av framförallt politiska andledningar genomgår förändringsprocesser i vilket det förflutna, ibland ett ganska nyligen förflutet, omvärderas och förhandlas av olika grupper och aktörer. I fokus för rapporten står Barsebäcks kärnkraftsverk, Ångfärjestationen i Helsingborg, samt Protea Village i Kapstaden i Sydafrika.

Growing in Motion: The Circulation of Used Things on Second-hand Markets
- 2015
-
In: Culture Unbound. Journal of Current Cultural Research. - 2000-1525. ; 7:1, s. 143-168
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- From having been associated with poverty and low status, the commerce with second-hand goods in retro shops, flea markets, vintage boutiques and trade via Internet is expanding in Sweden as in many countries in the Global North. This article argues that a significant aspect of the recent interest in second-hand and reuse concerns the meaningfulness of circulation in social life. Using classic an- thropological theory on how the circulation of material culture generates sociality, it focuses on how second-hand things are transformed by their circulation. Rather than merely having cultural biographies, second-hand things are reconfigured through their shifts between different social contexts in a process that here is un- derstood as a form of growing. Similar to that of an organism, this growth is con- tinuous, irreversible and dependent on forces both internal and external to it. What emerges is a category of things that combine elements of both commodities and gifts, as these have been theorized within anthropology. While first cycle com- modities are purified of their sociality, the hybrid second-hand thing derives its ontological status as well as social and commercial value precisely from retaining ‘gift qualities’, produced by its circulation.

Harnessing the Unruly: Anthropological Contributions in Applied Reuse Projects
- 2020
-
In: kritisk etnografi: Swedish Journal of Anthropology. - 2003-1173. ; 3:2, s. 87-103
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article discusses the experiences of two anthropologists working on two applied collaborative projects, both with a focus on sustainable consumption, and both spin-offs from a more conventional academic research project on second-hand and reuse. Although different – one focusing on the reuse of office furniture in the public sector, the other on co-creating an exhibition at a state-run museum – both entailed interventions aiming to stimulate a transition to less damaging ways of living and consuming. Collaborating with a municipality, a state-run museum and a reuse design company, as well as various professional stakeholders in the sector, the anthropologists outline how being ‘unruly’ – probing deeper into seemingly self-evident questions, recontextualising issues, and making associations between domains – allowed them to provide new perspectives and formulate alternative understandings of how to meet the challenges. The main contributions of anthropology in applied settings are often said to be the methodological tools and techniques of the discipline, but in this case, insights from posthumanism significantly shaped the outcomes of the two projects. The authors argue that abstract theoretical insights can play an important role in providing solutions or understandings in concrete, applied situations.
