The home as a site of crisis preparedness
In this article, the role of the home in citizen crisis preparedness is explored by utilising a theoretical framework that highlights the home as a sociological phenomenon and as a base for the construction and maintenance of ontological security. The aim of this article is to explore the performativity of crisis preparedness, and the ways it is co-produced through gendered imaginaries of home, identity and relational security. By foregrounding t…
A challenged society
This article analyses the construction of vulnerable and resilient subjects and their dialectical relationship with Swedish total defence policies. Using a post-structural policy analysis, it investigates the problem representations and subjectification processes within these policies. In these, resilience is suggested as the solution to the ‘problem’ of the challenged society, with capable, active and responsible citizens expected to come to the…
Filling the void
In the summer of 2018, both fire and rescue services and volunteers fought against the extensive wildfires that spread over the northern parts of Sweden. The challenges were many and one of the most obvious was the lack of resources provided by the state, both material and human. This lack of official resources, together with the long distances that characterize the rural northern parts of Sweden, have been highlighted in subsequent evaluations a…
Krisbiografier
Följande artikel utgår från intervjuer med frivilliga och evakuerade från de skogsbränder som drabbade Gävleborgs och Jämtlands län under sommaren 2018. Artikelns syfte är att utforska om och hur människor knyter sina upplevelser av en klimatrelaterad kris till den mer omfattande och ständigt pågående klimatkrisen. Genom artikeln utvecklas begreppet krisbiografi, teoretiskt och metodologiskt, för att belysa hur människors erfarenheter av kriser k…
Landsbygder i brand
Artikelns syfte är att undersöka hur en akut kris, i det här fallet skogsbränderna sommaren 2018, förstås mot bakgrund av en bredare social och politisk kontext, nämligen den kroniska kris som en periferialisering av landsbygden utgör. Här studeras en sådan periferialisering framförallt genom hur den tar sig i uttryck i människors berättelser om och erfarenheter från skogsbränderna sommaren 2018. Artikeln grundar sig på intervjuer med räddningspe…
Bara framtiden kan visa om vi gör det här rätt”
Syftet med den här artikeln är att studera hur människor skapar mening av den svenska coronastrategin samt hur de implementerar denna strategi i sina vardagsliv. Artikeln bygger på en intervjustudie med åtta personer boendes i Stockholm. Samtliga intervjuer genomfördes under pandemins initiala fas (april–maj 2020). Artikeln tar sin teoretiska utgångspunkt i ett risksociologiskt intresse för hur människor skapar mening kring osäkerheter, här exemp…
Stories of the storm
Households play an important role in risk management. In this article, we take a closer look at risk management strategies applied by rural citizens in relation to an actual situation: a specific storm. The storm chosen, named Ivar, hit the northern parts of Sweden in December 2013 and caused major blackouts and heavy problems for road and train traffic due to extensive tree falls. After the storm, there were persistent problems with electricity,…

The aim of this article is to, based o…
