Polarisering och samexistens : kulturella förändringar i vår tid
AvJesper Fundberg,Åsa Alftbergm. fl.
Häftad, Svenska, 2022
271 kr
Under de senaste decennierna har Sverige genomgått en rad genomgripande förändringar som gjort att många upplever att vårt samhälle har blivit hårdare och mer polariserat. Vad är det som har hänt? På vilka sätt påverkar samtidens förändringar människors vardag och livsvillkor?
Med utgångspunkt i fyra teman plats, kategorisering, engagemang och transformationer beskriver boken hur människor upplever dagens Sverige och det svenska. Författarna har gjort intervjuer, deltagande observationer, undersökt mediedebatter, sociala medier och analyserat arkivmaterial. Genom nedslag i olika verkligheter, platser och situationer förmedlas insikter och reflektioner om gemenskap och engagemang. Här berättas både om erfarenheter av polarisering och misstro och om människors tillit till varandra, till politiken och våra samhällsinstitutioner.
Bokens skribenter är alla etnologiska forskare och verksamma vid olika lärosäten i Sverige.
Imagining Personal Data
Experiences of Self-Tracking
AvVaike Fors,Sarah Pinkm. fl.
Häftad, Engelska, 2021
687 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Digital self-tracking devices and data have become normal elements of everyday life. Imagining Personal Data examines the implications of the rise of body monitoring and digital self-tracking for how we inhabit, experience and imagine our everyday worlds and futures. Through a focus on how it feels to live in environments where data is emergent, present and characterized by a sense of uncertainty, the authors argue for a new interdisciplinary approach to understanding the implications of self-tracking, which attends to its past, present and possible future. Building on social science approaches, the book accounts for the concerns of scholars working in design, philosophy and human-computer interaction. It problematizes the body and senses in relation to data and tracking devices, presents an accessible analytical account of the sensory and affective experiences of self-tracking, and questions the status of big data. In doing so it proposes an agenda for future research and design that puts people at its centre.
Hip Heritage and Museum Practices in Contemporary Hybrid Markets

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Focusing on how museums prioritize and produce content, Hip Heritage demonstrates how economic issues play an ever-larger role in determining how cultural heritage is being framed and presented in contemporary heritage museums.Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted by the authors at seven museums over the course of five years, this book offers an in-depth analysis of heritage museums in Nordic, Scandinavian and North American contexts. It investigates how economic realities, coupled with the cultural contexts in which museums operate, affect how these institutions organize, manage and develop their collections to make themselves relevant in society. Once charged with the primary task of educating citizens about their cultural identity and history, national museums and heritage organizations are also under pressure to rethink their market demands and meet stakeholders’ increasing interest in growing visitor numbers and expanding economic returns. Simultaneously, many museums are part of a cultural sector with diminished public funding and increased competition for the existing financing. Against this background, this book questions: ‘When the budget is tight, whose heritage counts most?’ It considers museums as arenas for heritage politics in action on the local, national and international levels, as well as at the institutional level.Hip Heritage will appeal to scholars and students engaged in the study of ethnology heritage, museum studies, marketing, leisure and tourism, public folklore, and sociology.

Academics across the globe are being urged by universities and research councils to do research that impacts the world beyond academia. Yet to date there has been very little reflection amongst scholars and practitioners in these fields concerning the relationship between the theoretical and engaged practices that emerge through such forms of scholarship. Theoretical Scholarship and Applied Practice investigates the ways in which theoretical research has been incorporated into recent applied practices across the social sciences and humanities. This collection advances our understanding of the ethics, values, opportunities and challenges that emerge in the making of engaged and interdisciplinary scholarship.

Regionauterna : Öresundsregionen från vision till vardag
AvGunnar Alsmark,Caroline Beckm. fl.

Vad har hänt sedan Öresundsbron invigdes sommaren 2000? Vilka drömmar har slagit in, vilka visioner visade sig orealistiska? Inför broöppningen var otåligheten stor -- äntligen skulle Själland och Sydsverige förenas i en transnationell region. Här ser danska och svenska forskare tillbaka på de första tio åren. Vi får följa hur människors vardag påverkats av brobygget och se för vem regionen är intressant eller ointressant. Vi får möta regionauterna -- de som snabbt lär sig navigera i och använda sig av den nya regionen. Inte minst kan vi lära oss något om det svåra i att förutspå en framtida utveckling. Brons tioåriga historia rymmer många överraskningar.

Under senare år har vi sett en snabbt växande näring med fokus på hälsa och välbefinnande. Lugnande upplevelser förpackas, iscensätts och konsumeras som kommersiella varor – turistkomplexen har kommit att bli en del av den så kallade kulturekonomin. I Spas – the Cultural Economy of Hospitality, Magic and the Senses använder författaren Tom O’Dell spaanläggningarna för att belysa hur kulturella och ekonomiska processer har sammanvävts över tid. Författaren tar med läsaren på en resa från 1600-talet till idag och visar hur frågor som gästfrihet, välbefinnande och magi har hanterats ur kommersiella perspektiv. O’Dell förankrar sina studier i en kulturanalys av kroppen och sinnesförnimmelserna som grundar sig på nya perspektiv som har utvecklats inom humanistisk och samhällsvetenskaplig kulturforskning. Recent years have seen a rapidly growing hotel business built around health and well-being. Leisurely experiences are packaged, staged and consumed as commercial commodities – the tourist complexes have become part of the so called ‘cultural economy’.br> In Spas – the Cultural Economy of Hospitality, Magic and the Senses ethnologist Tom O’Dell uses spas to highlight the manner in which the culturalization of the economy has developed. The author takes his readers on a journey from the seventeenth century into the present and shows how issues of hospitality, well-being and religious magic have been handled in commercialized settings through history. He also anchors his discussion firmly in a cultural analysis of the body and senses that draws upon recent work in cultural theory that has been developed in the humanities and social sciences.

Den amerikanska masskulturen har en mycket stark påverkan på livet i Europa. Dagligdags hör vi svenskar om hur vi influeras av landet ”over there”. Det gäller alla områden, från film och musik till kosthållning och motion. Ordet amerikanisering är tätt förknippat med modernisering och globalisering, men också med kulturell imperialism och skräpkultur. Men hur ser egentligen mekanismerna bakom vår amerikaniserade tillvaro ut? Är vi så påverkade som vi tror?Utifrån konkreta exempel från svenskt vardagsliv granskar etnologen och svenskamerikanen Tom O’Dell hur våra relationer till USA sett ut och utvecklats under de senaste 200 åren.Tom O’Dell tar i Culture Unbound upp vardagliga företeelser såsom amerikanska bilar, raggare och hippierörelsen. Boken är hans doktorsavhandling.
Legitimizing ESS : big science as a collaboration across boundaries

Big Science is a broad epithet that can be associated with research projects as different as the Manhattan Project, the Hubble Telescope- construction, and the CERN-establishment in Geneva. While the science produced by these projects is vastly different, they have in common the fact that they all involve huge budgets, big facilities, complex instrumentation, years of planning, and large multidisciplinary teams of researchers. In Legitimizing ESS the authors examine the complexity of the cultural, social, and political processes from which and in which Big Science develops. They do so by focusing upon the planning and development of the European Spallation Source, ESS, that is to be located in Lund in southern Sweden. Together, the chapters represent a variety of perspectives to highlight the complexity of the processes that are integral to Big Science. Thus, this volume examines the very different roles Big Science may be given in different contexts: locally, regionally, nationally and internationally, as well as historically. Legitimizing ESS is based on the research of scholars based at Lund University from the disciplines of archive and library sciences, art history and visual studies, ethnology, gender studies, geography, history of ideas and sciences, media and communication, philosophy, and policy research. --- Big Science är ett brett begrepp som kan förknippas med så skilda forskningsföreteelser som Manhattanprojektet, Hubbleteleskopet och CERN. Trots att den vetenskap som bedrivs vid dessa anläggningar är väsensskild har de det gemensamt att de kräver stora resurser och stora anläggningar liksom sofistikerade och dyra instrument, stora tvärvetenskapliga forskarlag och många års planering. I Legitimizing ESS undersöker författarna de komplicerade kulturella, sociala och politiska processer som ligger till grund för uppkomsten och utvecklingen av Big Science. De gör det genom att fokusera på förberedelserna av European Spallation Source, ESS, som planeras att byggas i Lund. Tillsammans representerar kapitlen olika perspektiv som frilägger hur olika processer samverkar i skapandet av Big Science. Denna bok handlar med andra ord om de olika roller som Big Science kan spela i olika sammanhang: lokalt, regionalt, nationellt och internationellt såväl som historiskt. Legitimizing ESS är baserad på vetenskapligt arbete av forskare vid Lunds universitet från ämnesområden som biblioteks- och informationsvetenskap, konsthistoria och visuella studier, etnologi, genusvetenskap, ekonomisk geografi, idéhistoria, media- och kommunikationsvetenskap, forskningspolitiska studier samt filosofi
