Skolning i sexuell egenmakt. Unga svenska kvinnors berättelser om tillfälligt sex
[Learning sexual agency. Young Swedish women’s narratives about casual sex] More than every third young woman in Sweden states that they have had casual sex during the past year. In this study, Michael Tholander and Ninni Tour focus on four young women’s narratives of their own involvement in casual sex. The analyses are based on a phenomenological approach and show experiences that are often presented in negative ways. Inadequate communication, …
Traces of Pornography
The purpose of this study was to explore young women’s experiences of pornography and how they believe pornography has affected both themselves and other adolescents in terms of sexuality and sexual experiences. Seven young women aged 17–18 years were interviewed and their narratives were analyzed through thematic analysis. The results show that the participants’ pornography consumption has at times evoked feelings of shame in relation to their o…
The shame of casual sex
This study is based on the narratives of four young Swedish women, who were interviewed about their experiences of heterosexual casual sex. The analyses are based on phenomenological sociology and focus on sequences in which the participants orient towards shame in connection with casual sexual encounters. The results show that the participants struggle with shame before, during, and after casual sex, that they do so in relation to a great variet…
The ART of apologizing
During recent decades, evidence-based treatment programs have become a given part of the youth justice system. Typically, such programs are evaluated through quantitative effect studies, in which a variety of outcome measures play a significant role. This case study offers an alternative, interactional evaluation of a treatment program. More specifically, the analysis focuses on an Aggression Replacement Training (ART) session that was held at a …
A freak that no one can love”

Four written narratives about beingsubjected to school bullying were analysed according to interpretativephenomenological analysis.

Lessons in Casual Sex
This study focuses on the narratives of four young Swedish women who were interviewed about their experiences of heterosexual casual sex. The analyses are based on a phenomenological approach and provide insight into a highly complex sexual practice, which the participants often portray as having lacked transparent communication, balance of power, and satisfying sex—three key dimensions of an everyday “sexual democracy.” However, the participants…
You Will Have These Ones!’
This study aims to contribute to an understanding of women’s experiences of contraceptive counselling, and of being pressured to make a contraceptive choice that did not feel right. Six women in Sweden participated in semi-structured interviews, which were analysed through interpretative phenomenological analysis. The results were organised into three themes: (1) The normalisation process, i.e., the ways in which the women experienced using the c…
Student-led conferencing as democratic practice
School conferences, in which teachers meet with parents and students, have long been criticised for being an undemocratic practice. Traditionally, such conferences have been organised and governed by the teacher. However, in recent years, student-led conferences have become more common in Swedish schools. The present article focuses on eight such conferences in a sixth grade class. The results show that the students became more visible during stu…
Mundane whistleblowing
Based on recordings of naturalistic interaction, this study explores how a case of mundane whistleblowing unfolds in real time. In the analyzed recordings, a teacher instructs five students to engage in self- and peer-assessment. A few minutes into the session, one of the students indirectly accuses his peers of staging a cover-up. This whistleblowing action is analyzed in detail, but the main analytical focus is on the conversational strategies …
How long was your poem?’ Social comparison among junior high school students
The present article focuses on in situ social comparison among junior high school students. Rather than studying social comparison as an individual phenomenon in experimental situations, which has been common in previous research, the study analyzes social comparison as a real‐life social practice. The results show that the practice of social comparison among students reconnects to central elements of the formal assessment system. For instance, i…
Working with rules
This study focuses on an attempt by a Swedish secondary school teacher to fashion a more participatory education situation by involving his students in deciding the rules for their group work. Five group sessions were video recorded and examined using a conversation–analytic approach. The findings show a complex interplay between democratic and undemocratic elements in the interaction between the teacher and the students, as well as among the stu…
Students' Participation and Non-Participation as a Situated Accomplishment
Using an approach inspired by conversation analysis, the present study investigates how Swedish students draw on democratic discourse during group work. The analyses demonstrate the importance of democratic issues to students. The analyses also point to how students repeatedly employ democratic discourse for a number of strategic purposes. Moreover, the analyses show that democratic arrangements at school are not always productive for schoolwork.…
Pupils' gossip as remedial action
This article focuses on sequences of classroom talk, in which Swedish junior high-school pupils engage in reproaches of absent parties or, to use an established gloss, `gossiping'. This kind of talk makes up a significant part of the off-task talk that pupils engage in when working in small groups. In order to initiate and participate in gossip interaction, pupils need to master sophisticated social competencies. The study focuses on these compet…
Cross-Gender Teasing as a Socializing Practice
In many studies of teasing between boys and girls, researchers have concluded that teasing affirms boundaries and asymmetries between the sexes through so-called borderwork (Thorne, 1993). However, in this study of teasing during student-run group work, teasing was shown to reach far beyond mere cultural reproduction of gender differences. Not only did teasing sometimes seem to contribute to tearing down traditional gender roles, but it was also …
