The Suicidal Process and the Role of Negative Emotions in Suicidal Behavior
This article is part of a phenomenological study that aimed at exploring the meanings of Deliberate Self-Harm among the Baganda in Uganda. It describes the suicidal process and the role of negative emotions among the Baganda involved in potentially suicidal self-harm behavior. Narrative interviews were conducted with 18 respondents (5 males and 13 females) aged 18-75 years who had engaged in self-harm. A case by case analysis was done using descr…
Four tragedies and a happy ending – autobiographical interpretations of unemployment
This article explores individuals' experience of unemployment by studying five historical autobiographical stories. A source of life-stories from the competition ‘Write your life’ in 1989 was read through in search of stories about unemployment. Four of the stories were of struggling for work inclusion, while one story was added as a contrast to the others. The latter narrator managed to build a career in spite of a poor starting point in life. U…

Experiences of Recall After Mammography Screening—A Qualitative Study
Women participating in biannual mammography screening for 20 years have a cumulative risk of 20% of being recalled. We conducted a prospective qualitative interview study with eight nonsymptomatic women recalled after mammography screening. These women expressed mixed emotions over being recalled. Information about recall rates and breast cancer risk was seen as alarming, and cancer risk estimates were seen by some as high. The short time between…
It all happened so slowly” – On controlling function creep in forensic DNA databases
Focus Groups in a Medicine-Dominated Field
Mammography screening has traditionally been viewed as a field for medical research. The medical science discourse, however, is highly quantitative, and its claims for validity somewhat opposed to those of qualitative research. To communicate research in a cross-disciplinary field, it is necessary to adapt one's research to several paradigms. The authors conducted focus group interviews with women due to be screened in a national breast cancer sc…

Controlling CCTV in Public Spaces
This paper examines data from an observation study of four CCTV control rooms in Norway and Denmark. The paper asks whether issues other than privacy might be at stake when public spaces are placed under video surveillance. Starting with a discussion of what values public spaces produce for society and for citizens and then examining CCTV practices in terms of those values, we find that video surveillance might have both positive and negative eff…

Rigid Politics and Technological Flexibility
Conventionally, technologies are seen as rigid, immutable; social systems as malleable. Constructivist theories of technology, such as actor network theory, have corrected that view. Technologies are flexible, reinterpretable. Often that flexibility is alleged to explain their success in transforming social systems. This article presents the story of PREOP-a flexible technology that met with an immutable social system and failed to become what wa…
