Sverigebilden i USA : Historia, händelser och mekanismer
- 2023. - 1
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Här undersöks Sverigebilden i USA mot bakgrund av den senaste tidens debatt om hur Sverige beskrivs utomlands. Den svenskamerikanska relationen är viktig för Sverige – kulturellt, ekonomiskt och politiskt. Den är högaktuell givet den säkerhetspolitiska oron och Sveriges NATO-ansökan. USA är också en viktig hållplats för den globala spridningen av föreställningar om Sverige världen över, vilket blivit tydligt i dagens alltmer polariserade medielandskap. Rapporten syftar inte till att återge en fullständig bild av ”hela” den amerikanska Sverigebilden utan fokuserar på sådana händelser och tillfällen där uppmärksamheten kring Sverige och svenska förhållanden dels förstärkts kvantitativt och dels förändrats kvalitativt.

Recollections of Joining the EU : Iberian and Nordic Experiences
- 2023. - 1
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Since the 2010s, it has become common to view the European project as troubled by crisis. As the EU historical narrative is selective, the problems that we perceive today in the EU seem to be exceptional and unusually dangerous, not the least from the perspective of Europe’s peripheries. In order to assess the current challenges and future prospects of the European project, we need to understand better the complexities of European integration in Southern and Northern Europe in the recent past. By bringing together three relevant political actors, deeply involved in these historical events – Esko Aho (Finland), Mats Hellström (Sweden) and Juan Antonio Yáñez-Barnuevo (Spain) – this witness seminar provides important insights into the negotiations concerning EC/EU integration as well as the similarities and differences between the Northern and Southern European experiences.

Romerna och skolplikten : Hot eller möjlighet?
- 2020. - 1
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Hot eller möjlighet? På 1960-talet förändrades romernas situation i Sverige dramatiskt då bofasthet och skolplikt för romska barn skulle ersätta ett nomadiserande liv utanför välfärdssamhällets växande strukturer.Men hur genomfördes förändringen – på vems villkor och till vilket pris? Kring de frågorna samlades forskare och aktörer, både tidigare lärare och elever, till ett vittnesseminarium på Södertörns högskola tillsammans med dagens romska brobyggare.I spänningsfältet mellan romernas kamp för lika rättigheter och myndigheternas strävan efter assimilering gjordes under vittnesseminariet erfarenheter av betydelse för den aktuella diskussionen om minoriteters rättigheter och möjligheter.

Sweden in Solidarity, Museums in Exile : The Chilean International Resistance Museum in Solidarity with Salvador Allende and the International Art Exhibition for Palestine
- 2022. - 1
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Chile’s democratically elected Socialist president Salvador Allende came to power in 1970. Then came the dictatorship that began with Augusto Pinochet’s coup d’état in 1973. It was perhaps logical that the European art world came to the aid of its Chilean colleagues in a great wave of solidarity. The long 1970s has been connected to solidarity movements. Vietnam, Chile, South Africa, Palestine were among the countries supported by solidarity activists. Several so-called museums-in-exile were created. In particular, one source of inspiration was the Museo de la Resistencia Salvador Allende in Chile. This became a model also for the much older Palestinian Liberation Organisation’s (PLO) Unified Information Office that organised the International Art Exhibition for Palestine. This booklet documents the Witness seminar that was held 19 February 2017 at Tensta Konsthall, where people met to discuss their involvement in the solidarity movements for Chile and Palestine.
