What do I touch when I touch my Merino wool sweater? This thesis is an anthropological response to this question. Through ethnographic details on woolwork on the South American grasslands, it describes fibre formations where wool turns into a part of larger wholes. A small piece of wool conveys much more than we may first think: colonialism, global exchange, international standardizations, artistic practices, laboratory science, the dynamics of regional ecosystems, birds in danger of extinction, indigenous identities, industrial manufacturing, farmers’ lives, and artisan crafting – this can be illuminated through ethnographic fieldwork. This thesis revolves around wool but also around anthropological debates on fieldwork methodologies when analyzing relations between people, things, and natures.

Förintelsen är ett historiskt skeende som lever vidare i samtidens medvetande i form av minnesmonument, museala utställningar, forskningsinstitutioner och myndigheter. I familjer där det finns överlevande lever minnet också kvar. Vissa av barnbarnen i dessa familjer identifierar sig nu som Tredje generationens överlevande och har tagit på sig uppdraget att förvalta minnet. Studien lyfter fram att minnes-bearbetningen kring Förintelsen av den Tredje generationens överlevande i mångt och mycket baseras på en generationell minnesöverföring som pågått under barnbarnens uppväxt i samtal med den överlevande generationen. Samtidigt florerar en både latent och manifest antisemitism i det svenska samhället vilket formar och påverkar både den judiska gruppen och barnbarnen. Denna socialantropologiska studie visar på dessa samband, att minnet av Förintelsen, i de publika och i de familjära sammanhangen, tillsammans med den samtida antisemitismen, påverkar den judiska identiteten.

The 1999 Swedish ban on sex-purchase has been hotly debated in politics, the media, and academia. This study focuses on the attention the ban has received as an unprecedented approach to governing prostitution, the highly polarised political environment in which it exists, and the multiple political-legal contradictions it displays. Using material gathered through a multisited method from 2009 through 2019, social anthropologist Petra Östergren shows that the offence is a variant of traditional anti-prostitution laws and argues that its distinctive and puzzling features are comprehensible within the framework of morality politics. The thesis refines the concept of morality politics, offering new insights into how issues like prostitution, homosexuality, abortion, and drug use are perceived, discussed, and governed in liberal democracies. Östergren suggests these are ‘consensual crimes’ rooted in religious notions of sin and seen as risks to social order. These issues are typically addressed by repressive, restrictive, or integrative policy models that seek either to reform those engaged in marginalised practices or to grant them civil rights. The study demonstrates that Sweden’s ambivalent civic and legal stance toward sex workers reflects an exclusionary logic, linking it to the historically subordinate status of women’s labour and state punishment of ‘sinners’.
