Engagement with AI in teacher education—discourses, processes of domestication and dynamics of transformation
The public introduction of ChatGPT in 2022 marked a turning point in mainstream awareness of artificial intelligence (AI), catalyzing widespread debates on what it was, what it could be used for and how this would alter our world. In the domain of higher education, AI was framed as a transformative tool for knowledge production and pedagogical innovation, contingent on users’ critical technological awareness and competence. This study explores ho…
CHAPTER 9 Language-games, In/dividuals and Media Uses: What a Practice Perspective Should Imply for Media Studies
Advocating causal analyses of media and social change by way of social mechanisms
Studies of (new) media and social change should strive to introduce causality into the analysis. Studies relying on quantitative data tend to provide either too simplistic explanations or just point to correlations while qualitatively based studies tend to be so particularistic that the potential for generalizing findings from specific cases is negligible. In this article, it is argued that proper accounts should strive to suggest causal connecti…
Household Histories and Methodological Triangulation
The article uses the experience from the impact evaluation of a development programme to argue two points: first, the collection of household histories is a useful methodological tool, and, second, their analytical value is further enhanced by combining them with quantitative data. After giving examples of household histories, we first discuss what we call the ‘practical–methodological aspects’ of this approach, by presenting theories and perspec…

ICTs, domestication and language-games: A Wittgensteinian approach to media uses
This article acknowledges the vital role that the Domestication Research-perspective has in media research, but criticizes it for being analytically ambiguous in its use of the central term `domestication'. By way of a contrastive set of data from an ongoing research project, we argue for a dislocation of `domestication' from the domestic and the private. Instead, we wish to retain the meaning and use of the term to acts of domesticating, i.e. pr…
Discourses On Mass Versus Elite Sport and Pre-Adult Football in Norway
This article focuses on the discursive framework of pre-adult football in Norway. The analytical starting point features debates in two major Norwegian newspapers, started by the head of the elite division of the Norwegian national sport organization. His main concern is to discuss the conditions for elite sport - focusing on legitimation and talent development. This discussion serves as a focus for the investigation of the social anchoring of or…
Social change and sexual mores: A comparison between pre-20th-century Norway and 20th-century Botswana
This article compares pre‐20th‐century Norway and 20th‐century Botswana—two settings separated by time and space but sharing a sharp rise in non‐nuptial births. The comparison seeks to create a synergetic analytical effect by combining firsthand, experience‐near field data from Botswana with solid historical analyses of bastardy in Europe. This radical comparison provides a perspective that highlights the importance of treating “culture” not as a…
Når kvinner ikke lenger vil (gifte seg) – noen følger for samfunnsorganiseringen i Botswana
Seen From Below: Conceptions of Politics and the State in a Botswana Village
Based on the contentions that rules cannot determine practice, and that the state is only a composite reality that needs to be analysed as a part of a wider socio-cultural totality, this article investigates how the state, as government and political practice, functions in a village in Botswana. Consequently, lay villagers' attitudes to the state and hence the issue of legitimacy become focal points in the discussion. It is argued that what is co…
Sexual mores, promiscuity and 'prostitution' in Botswana
In Botswana there is a large, and increasing, number of women who do not marry but have one or several lovers simultaneously and have gifts from these menas an importantpart of their income. It is argued that the processual and practical character of traditional marriages, combined with weak social institutions, provides those who wish the basis on which to legitimise such informal sexual relationships. Such practices represent a new sexual moral…
