Babies’ engagements with everyday things : An ethnographic study of materiality, movement and participation
- 2021
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis explores how babies (1-18 months old) engage with material things in their everyday lives. The aim is to contribute with theoretical and empirical insights into babies own practices around material things and how attending to these practices can lead to reflections on participation, material culture and everyday space. The empirical material is collected through video ethnographic fieldwork in the homes of seven babies and their families. The empirical material has been analysed through combining cultural analysis with the analytical approach ‘thinking with theory’. The thesis shows that sensoriality and movement is important for understanding babies own engagements with things and that these engagements are not limited to things given to, or intended for, them. Babies also shape the everyday spaces of the families through their movements of things in their homes. The analyses also show that focusing on sensoriality and movement in the meeting between babies and the researcher is a promising contribution to discussions concerning participatory research and ethnographic method. The thesis is theoretically situated within the field of child- and childhood studies.

Visual transcriptions as socio-technical assemblages
- 2021
-
In: Visual Communication. - : Sage Publications. - 1470-3572 .- 1741-3214. ; 20:2, s. 289-309
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- With the development of visual digital technologies it has become more common in the social sciences to both use and present research visually. This article explores different strategies for working with and including images in ethnomethodology and conversation analysis (EMCA) transcriptions. The purpose is to investigate how, and if, the ontology of the transcript changes when verbal transcripts become visual transcripts. The article explores what ensures that a transcript is still a transcript and what happens to the reflexive interpretative strategy fundamental to EMCA when new digital technologies make it possible to incorporate images in transcripts. The articles focus is on the social life of methods as well as methodological productivity showing how images can enact different social realities and scientific knowledge.

The Child Tourist : Agency and Cultural Competence in VFR Travel
- 2022
-
In: Tourism and Hospitality. - Basel, Switzerland : MDPI. - 2673-5768. ; :2, s. 451-465
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this article, we meet a seven-year-old boy, Matti, who was adopted from his birth country in Africa by a family in Sweden. We meet him together with his family as they are planning a family adoption return trip to his birth country and again after their return. We argue that an adoption return trip is a form of family travel and/or visiting friends and relatives (VFR) travel. By methodologically using a so-called children’s perspective we are primarily focusing on Matti and how he talks about the return trip. We explore some key concepts from child studies through Matti’s relational encounters in the world. By presenting agency and cultural competence as something that is enacted in practice, we show how they are enacted through the dependencies between Matti, his mother and his sister. The analysis shows that cultural competence and agency are fluid in the sense that they can be changed by how topics of discussion are woven through one another. Staying with Matti’s lived practices makes it possible to elaborate on and demonstrate different forms of competence and agency that are important for understanding children as tourists and children’s roles in family travel.

Listening to children and young people in Sweden: Practices, possibilities, and tensions
- 2024
-
In: Global Studies of Childhood. - : Sage Publications. - 2043-6106. ; 14:2, s. 214-226
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This piece is a collective exploration by seven doctoral researchers in Child Studies, who discuss notions of listening to children and young people in a Swedish context. We approach different aspects of listening in research and in practices such as education, psychiatry, and social work. The discussions in this collective writing are an invitation for continuous reflections about the contexts where listening to children is done, its challenges and possibilities.

Adoptivfamiljers återresor till barnens födelseländer
- 2020
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Den här kvalitativa studien undersöker adoptivfamiljers återresor till barnens födelseländer. Analysmaterialet består av intervjuer med barn och föräldrar i tio svenska adoptivfamiljer både inför och efter genomförda adoptionsåterresor. I fokus för studien står frågor om hur barn och föräldrar resonerar kring beslutet att göra en återresa, planeringen av resans innehåll och upplevelserna av resan. Analyserna visar att både barn och föräldrar är delaktiga i att planera och genomföra adoptionsåterresorna. Bland annat förhandlar familjemedlemmarna om resornas inriktningar, funktioner och betydelser. Adoptionsåterresor blir till i samspel mellan barn och föräldrar, rekommendationer för återresor, förhoppningar, förutsättningar, möjligheter, risker och inte minst individuella rädslor. Studien nyanserar allmänna idéer om att en adoptionsåterresa enbart är till för adopterade och föreslår att vi behöver förstå resorna som ett gemensamt familjeprojekt. Dessutom synliggör studien att familjeadoptionsåterresor är ett resultat av dynamiska familjeprocesser som skapar och aktualiserar värden och ideal om familjeliv, föräldraskap, barn, semestrar och pengar – och att barn är en del av hur sådana värden och ideal skapas. För att fånga den komplexitet som omger familjers adoptionsåterresor har studien krävt en kombination av teorier och metoder från barn- och barndomsstudier samt familjestudier med turismvetenskaplig forskning och ekonomisk sociologi. Studien är ett resultat av förhållningssätt som tar fasta på rörligheten i begrepp som familj, barn, föräldraskap, ursprung, pengar och återresande och pekar på betydelsen av att se barn som sociala och kulturella aktörer i sin egen rätt. Avhandlingen bidrar teoretiskt och metodologiskt till forskning om adoptionsåterresor, ursprungsresor och familjesemestrar.

Family memory trips - childrens and parents planning of adoption return trips
- 2020
-
In: Journal of Heritage Tourism. - : ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD. - 1743-873X .- 1747-6631. ; 15:5, s. 554-566

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- It can be argued that adoption return trips are a new travel industry. Today, transnational adoptive families make adoption return trips while their children are very young. The aim of such trips is to create positive links between the child and their birth country. Based on interviews with ten Swedish transnational adoptive families, this qualitative and interdisciplinary study sets out to explore how adopted children and their parents plan return trips. The analysis shows that both children and parents mobilise memories of places, people and heritage sites from the birth countries while planning their trips. In theoretical terms, the study draws on family tourism in combination with child studies and personal memory tourism. The article challenges the idea that adoption return trips are exclusively for the benefit of the adoptee and suggests that the family planning of adoption return trips makes them into family memory trips.

Children helping children? : Values and concerns in corporate charity
- 2021
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The aim of this thesis is to explore corporate children's charity in practice. This is achieved by examining empirically a campaign organized by the company IKEA in collaboration with the non-profit organization Save the Children. In this campaign, organized in Sweden in 2017, the total revenue from the sales of IKEA's soft toy collection based on children's drawings were donated to Save the Children's safe sports project. Online ethnographic methods were used to collect the empirical materials: the online and in-store promotion of the campaign and the soft toys. In additions, qualitative interviews with professionals at the IKEA Foundation, IKEA and Save the Children were conducted. These materials were analyzed using the theoretical concepts of "values" and "concerns". The argument in the thesis is that coordinating what is worthy, important, and desirable (values) with matters of worry (concerns) allows the two partners to present their collaboration as a shared charity campaign for a children's rights cause. It is argued that the work of coordinating values and concerns can be achieved in different ways, which are described in the empirical chapters. For example, by discursively separating the potentially conflicting values or pairing concerns with the values they threaten. However, as a result, some values of children and of charity are amplified, while others are taken for granted.The study combines two interdisciplinary fields, Child Studies and Valuation Studies. The contribution to Child Studies is a practice-based approach to studying values in children’s charity and, in particular, the values and ideals of children. The thesis contributes to Valuation Studies by developing tools for analyzing more elusive values and informal valuation practices.
