This open access book deals with the role of written texts in an increasingly diverse and dynamic society, bringing together a series of studies anchored in the Scandinavian research tradition of sakprosa, which roughly translates as ‘subject-oriented prose’ or ‘professional communication’. The authors examine the written text’s capacity to transcend contextual boundaries, as a crucial factor in the importance of capturing and maintaining content as a manageable entity. The  chapters each deal with a text type that manages complex content in a specialized way, including genre shifting in CSR reports, discourse networks in modern digital culture, digital and social media crisis communication, and epistemic positions in non-fiction. This book is relevant to fields such as text research, professional/digital communication, discourse analysis and literacy studies, and may also be of interest to disciplines such as history, rhetoric, organization studies, media studies/journalism, and linguistics.

På aktiebolags bolagsstämmor fastställs föregående räkenskapsårs resultat- och balansräkningar. Bolagsledningar frågas ut och granskas av aktieägarna och hålls ansvariga för sina handlingar. Styrelseledamöter, revisorer och valberedningar väljs, och beslut fattas om vinstutdelningar. Men bolagsstämmor är så mycket mer. De är fulla av symboler och känslor som kan lära oss något om den finansiella ekonomins värld och hur denna är organiserad. I den här boken tolkas bolagsstämmor som ritualer där kulturella föreställningar spelas upp och där viktiga normer återskapas.
