Digital literacies among infants and toddlers
For many children, their home is where they first encounter digital media technologies. The aim of this study is to investigate how children 0 – 3 years old engage in digital media. We address digital literacies as a sociocultural mindset and a toolbox with attention to skills and comprehensions as well as how children express their agency. The overall research question is: What skills, comprehension, and agency children 0 – 3 years old perform a…
The platformisation of modern family life
The article examines the platformisation of everyday life and children's television use by exploring how 0-3-year-olds' television viewing on screen media is embedded into the daily social practices of families in Sweden. It addresses the following research questions: (1) What social practices are organised around young children's television viewing on screen media? (2) How can these television practices be understood through the domestic process…
When ethnographic work turns into distant screen visits
This colloquium shares experiences from doing ethnographic fieldwork with young children and the challenges that followed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The project DIGIKIDS Sweden has its focus on very young children (birth to three years) and their engagement with digital media technologies in their homes. The pandemic put the project on hold, but in the families where the fieldwork had already started, the authors decided to change the methods …
Organizing work and activities to cope with age – the role of entrepreneurship for individuals aged 50
Purpose The aim of this article is to discuss how age and entrepreneurship interact in the specific case of older (50+) entrepreneurs. Building on theories on entrepreneurship and theories on age and aging, the authors’ focus is on how such entrepreneurs relate to the building and running of a business organization. The authors discuss how entrepreneurship among the elderly plays out and how older entrepreneurs relate to the narratives on both ag…
Mobile bystanders and rubbernecks, disaster tourists, and helpers. Towards a theoretical framework for critically studying action possibilities at accident sites
This article addresses the phenomenon of mobile bystanders who use their smartphones to film or take photographs at accident scenes, instead of offering their help to people in need or to assist medical units. This phenomenon has been extensively discussed in Swedish news media in recent years since it has been described as a growing problem for first responders, such as paramedics, police, and firefighters. This article aims to identify theoreti…
Space and practices
Young children’s engagements with digital technologies form part of their emergent everyday literacy practices. The study reported here derives from the pan-European study ‘A Day in the Digital Lives of Children aged 0-3’. The methodology was centred on the videoing of an entire day’s experiences of a child aged under 3, together with a reflective interview with the parents and inventories related to digital access, skills and activities of the c…
Is there a place for gender questions in studies on entrepreneurship, or for entrepreneurship questions in gender studies
Purpose This paper aims to add to the diversity of gender and entrepreneurship studies by presenting the (lived experience) perspective on the development of research on women as entrepreneurs. Design/methodology/approach An essay built on personal reflections on the development of the field since the 1980s. Findings Research on entrepreneurship has shifted toward quantitative studies and the paper format, leading to fragmented research. Research…
Social Entrepreneurship
Research from ten different countries on implementation, institutionalization and future prospects of social entrepreneurship, considering the needs of social and human development in the context of economy, politics, and cultural issues. By conceptualizing the notions of social entrepreneurship and societal entrepreneurship, this volume disseminates the latest findings in research and theory of social entrepreneurship that will be useful to educ…
Masculinisation of the public sector
Purpose The paper aims to explore the consequences of new public management (NPM) inspired reforms in general and outsourcing of traditional public sector responsibilities in Sweden to private organizations in particular. At centre stage are the roles of entrepreneurs, women-owned small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and socially constructed paradigms of gender in this process. The paper's aim is to explore, through a local-level case study, the c…
The suicide of the social sciences
The social sciences have undergone profound changes. The causes of these changes are many, and in this article we discuss the most important ones. First, we discuss the shift to a situation where the American tradition is the norm and European and national traditions are vanishing. Secondly, we discuss the shift from a focus on the empirical context to a pure internal research focus. These and other changes cause dramatic effects for the social s…
Rationalitet som norm och hyckleri som praktik
The rational decision and the rational decision maker is still highly valued as a norm in Western thought especially in the economic sphere and working life. Although empirical findings over and over again show it is false, this norm seems to remain strong. However, the impossibility of the norm nowadays seems often to be accepted at the upper levels in organizations. Managers are said to have such complicated problems to handle that rational dec…

Les hommes font toujours l’affaire ! Ségrégation sexuelle et processus de hiérarchisation
This article is based on the studies stemming from the Swedish White paper "Men are always in business !" which deals with the gendered division of power and economic resources. It concerns the retail trade sector and highlights the way in which the enterprise culture influences the relations between women and men in this sector, whether this through strategies for change or in the implementation of equal opportunities measures. We see in particu…
Organizational Conflict, Technology and Space
The aim of this article is to show how the existing gender division of labour in an organization, the Department for Topographical Maps at the Swedish National Survey, was disrupted by the implementation of new technology, namely CAD (Computer Aided Design)‐equipment. In this case the new technology was given to the female draughtpersons, not the male engineers, a surprising outcome considering the close relations between masculinity and technolo…
Gender, Technology and Local Culture
The article is concerned with the gendering of technology, place and time and the interaction between them. The Swedish community of Lindesberg which changed its local policy towards industry and commerce in the 1980s is presented as a case-study. Before the changes, the local policy was restricted to traditionally male jobs; afterwards, it included jobs for women such as 'distance-working' or telecommuting opportunities. The expansion of the loc…
The Social Construction of Gender and Technology
Osynliggörandet av kvinnor - exemplet företagare
Kvinnliga företagare uppmärksammas mycket för närvarande och man får lätt uppfattningen att de utgör en ny grupp på arbetsmarknaden. Elisabeth Sundin visar emellertid att, kvinnor som företagare har gamla anm • och att deras verksamhet snarare har minskat än ökat. Den stora massan av kvinnliga företagare har blivit osynliggjorda — och riskerar att möta samma öde i dagens ekonomi
