This book explores the relevance of conspiracy theories in the modern social and political history of the Nordic countries. The Nordic countries have traditionally imagined themselves as stable, wealthy, egalitarian welfare states. Conspiracy theories, mistrust and disunity, the argument goes, happened elsewhere in Europe (especially Eastern Europe), the Middle East or in the United States. This book paints a different picture by demonstrating that conspiracy theories have always existed in the Nordic region, both as a result of structural tensions between different groups and in the aftermath of traumatic events, but seem to have become more prominent over the last 30 or 40 years. While the book covers events and developments in each of the Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland), it is not a comparative country analysis. Rather, the book focuses on conspiracy theories in and about the Nordic region as a region, arguing that similarities in the trajectories of conspiratorial thinking are interesting to examine in cultural, social, and political terms. The book takes a thematic approach, including looking at states and elites; family, gender and sexuality; migration and the outside view on the Nordic region; conspiracy theories about the Nordic countries; and Nordic noir.This book will be of great interest to researchers on extremism, conspiracy theories and the politics of the Nordic countries.

A historical and contemporary study of Palestinian musicianship in exile in the Middle East, spanning half a century in disparate locationsPalestinian Music in Exile is a historical and contemporary study of Palestinian musicianship in exile in the Middle East, spanning half a century in disparate locations, including Gaza, Turkey, Kuwait, and Egypt. Grassroots musicians emerge here as powerful actors, their stories taking center stage, offering critiques of existing conditions, and new perspectives on displacement and the transmission of Palestinian narratives, and presenting alternative visions for the future.Louis Brehony argues that, under conditions of colonial relations and repeated displacement, the reclaiming of public space has gone hand in hand with aesthetic revolution, both broadening and traditionalizing the sounds of Palestine, and carrying messages of sumud (steadfastness) and resistance. Based on a decade’s research in Europe and the Middle East, this timely and inspiring collection of musical ethnographies provides a rich oral history of contemporary Palestinian musicianship and encompasses a broad range of experiences of the ghurba, or state of exile.

A powerful contribution to ongoing debates on refugees, borders, and camps and the politics of waitingThe Lebanese–Syrian borderscape is predominantly porous and ambiguous, without an actual border control, and is incessantly contested. Repeated internal displacement and refugee crises have been a pervading political condition in Lebanon since the early twentieth century, but the most destabilizing refugee and displacement crisis stems from the regional influx into the country in 2011 of thousands of Syrian refugees.In Waiting on Borders, Paul Moawad focuses on informal tented settlements (ITSs) inhabited by Syrian refugees on this border, to offer a compelling conceptualization of the politics of time and waiting, especially in relation to how temporal strategies are used as deterrence mechanisms in border regimes and informal spaces. Here, waiting is not just an active political instrument used by authorities to manage and control mobility, nor is it just a passive state refugees find themselves in. Waiting also becomes a tool of defiance, resilience, and self-governance. He further integrates rhythm analysis in his approach to understand the daily coping mechanisms that refugees develop with local actors, host-communities, and their own communities, to alleviate uncertainty and anxiety due to place detachment and home rupture. Rooted in border studies and urban studies, and drawing on rich empirical cases, Waiting on Borders demonstrates how states weaponize time and waiting modalities—through prolonged uncertainty, bureaucratic delays, and forced stagnation—to discipline, control, and exclude refugees.

Groundbreaking new research on an important social group within the Middle East Based upon extensive field research Fascinating insight into one of the most dynamic regions of the Middle East Traders, bazaaris and shop-keepers constitute a very important social and economic category in the Middle East. Yet, despite their significance there have been very few empirical studies on contemporary market people in the region. A Shop of One's Own marks an important step forward in filling this gap by exploring a key merchant sector in Syria. The book is based upon extensive fieldwork carried out by Annika Rabo amongst the traders of Aleppo and sheds new light on how this politically sensitive social group views itself and others in the prevalent atmosphere of economic liberalisation and political reform following the death of Syrian President Hafez al-Asad.

With the creation of the modern nation-state in the Middle East and North Africa, women have been and continue to be manipulated to represent a cultural ideal of perfect womanhood. This is often greatly at odds with the realities of women's lives and aspirations. However, individual women, through careful manipulation of gender relations, often succeed in casting aside the culturally accepted bonds which diminish their lives.Even so, women in groups are deemed unacceptable unless they conform to state mandates. In many countries in the Middle East, women are only legally permitted to form groups which are charitable organizations concerned with the welfare of the disabled or the handicapped. Clearly women in groups are perceived as a threat by the state.This challenging book examines the nature of the relationship between both women and the state and men and the state. It presents a balanced mix of theoretical and empirical research which analyzes both the formal and informal ways in which women have organized themselves, and been organized, in Arab society.

This book is about seeds and why and how seeds matter today, as in the past. Under the main headings Biopower, Agrobiodiversity, Circulation/mobility, and Seeds and their caretakers, the human-seed relationship is explored from different viewpoints. In a historical perspective the co-evolution of plants and humans can be traced through myths, rituals and cultural practices. In our present-day world of accelerating climate change, expansion of monocultural plantations and loss of biodiversity, collecting, saving and securing seeds has become a global concern. The ritual significance of seeds, seed control and agricultural development, and official policies versus cultural practices are among the themes discussed. Engaging with seeds also raises critical political questions about control over the material basis of our existence, that is, the main food crops. The volume is the result of a two-day international symposium held at the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities in Stockholm 2018.

Det talas mycket om utvärdering i den offentliga sektorns organisationer. Många dras in i de allt synligare, vanligare och komplexare utvärderingsprocesserna. Denna bok handlar om hur utvärderingar görs, hur de används och om de kan möta alla förväntningar som ställs på dem. Kan man t.ex. styra med hjälp av utvärderingar? Vad kan man lära av dem? Vilka effekter får de? Utvärderandets legitimitet, rituella aspekter och negativa sidor lyfts fram. Roller och relationer diskuteras. Boken vänder sig till alla som kommer i kontakt med utvärderingar i sitt arbete eller av ren nyfikenhet. Den manar till eftertanke inför framväxande och alltmer spridda utvärderingsideal.

Redaktör: Eva Söderberg Kan konst och kultur för barn bestämmas, planeras och kontrolleras i tid och rum? Vilka uttryck tar sig fostran och marknad i kultur för barn och unga? Artiklarna i denna skrift visar att dessa frågor är högst aktuella i dagens barnkulturforskning och praktik. Några av texterna gör en historisk tillbakablick och visar på samband med vår egen tid, till exempel hur den svenska barnteaterns rötter är fästade i fostran och lärande och hur skolans ramar fortfarande påverkar den unga publikens möte med scenkonsten. En text belyser mer specifikt skådespelarens insatser och förutsättningar inom skolteatern. Här finns också tankar om bildning som kan appliceras på dagens barnkultur och diskussionen om den. Med de flesta texter handlar om samtidsfenomen. En text redogör för TV för barn och den syn på barnpubliken som förmedlas. En annan undersöker spelsajter för barn för att se hur dessa konstituerar idéer om barn, föräldraskap och konsumtion. En tredje introducerar centrala inslag i filmpedagogiken och visar hur en normkritisk analys av en känd Disney-film kan se ut. I den sista texten förflyttas vi till ett flyktingläger i norra Jordanien och får exempel på hur kulturutbildning för syriska barn kan se ut, bland annat i form av lek, bildskapande och dramatik. Skriften är ett resultat av symposiet ”Ordning och reda, konsten på freda’! Om fostran, marknad och barnkultur” på Centrum för barnkulturforskning, Stockholms universitet, våren 2015. Skribenterna är främst forskare från olika discipliner och universitet, men också författare och andra kulturskapare medverkade vid symposiet.
