Justice beyond inclusion
In this article we problematize equity as inclusion and make a theoretical argument about rightful presence for the 'fat body' in PE. We argue that equity as inclusion is based on a guest/host power dynamic and a 'culture of hospitality' that comes with it. This argument rests on the assumption that inclusion involves a host who represents and safeguards the norms, values, and power structures of the community, welcoming the guest into that commu…
Teaching with the test
In many countries, fitness testing is used in physical education (PE). Advocates of fitness testing maintain that testing promotes physical activity and has long-term health benefits. Other scholars question using fitness tests for children in educational contexts and describe them as demotivating, embarrassing, and humiliating. The purpose of the study is to contribute to this educational dilemma with knowledge on the use of “fitness tests” in P…
Making sense of health in PE
Purpose Over the last couple of decades, health has become a central part of the subject content in physical education (PE) curricula in many countries. As a result, issues of health have been foregrounded much more clearly in the teaching of PE. The aim of this study was to explore how Swedish PE teachers make sense of health in relation to their teaching practices. This was done through investigating conceptions and theories about health in the…
Getting Better? Hegemonic, Negotiated and Oppositional Uses of Instagram for Mental Health Support
By analysing 600 Instagram posts that use mental health related hashtags, this article investigates how mental health communication and support practices are enacted on Instagram, and how such practices relate to the perceptible affordances and hegemonic uses of the service. The article demonstrates how Instagram tends to privilege casual snapshots of individual recovery, in line with broader discourses of positive thinking and individual respons…
Special needs educators’ roles and work in relation to recently arrived immigrant pupils in need of special educational support
Migration to Europe in recent years has made the issue of educational support for recently arrived immigrant pupils critically important, and, especially for pupils who are in need of special educational support. Schools in Sweden have special needs educators (SNEs) supporting pupils in need of special education, but little is known about the work of SNEs in regard to special educational support for recently arrived immigrants. This article repor…
Spotify Teardown
An innovative investigation of the inner workings of Spotify that traces the transformation of audio files into streamed experience. Spotify provides a streaming service that has been welcomed as disrupting the world of music. Yet such disruption always comes at a price. Spotify Teardown contests the tired claim that digital culture thrives on disruption. Borrowing the notion of “teardown” from reverse-engineering processes, in this book a team o…
Conceptualizing ‘Everyday Resistance’
Everyday resistance is about the many ways people undermine power and domination through their routine and everyday actions. Unlike open rebellions or demonstrations, it is typically hidden, not politically articulated, and often ingenious. But because of its disguised nature, it is often poorly understood as a form of politics and its potential underestimated. Conceptualizing 'Everyday Resistance' presents an analytical framework and theoretical…
Digital rurality
Interest in the rural has increased in Sweden during the last decades and the rural has become increasingly present as an object of politics, not least in social media. While social media have been recognised for their significance for social movements generally, less is written about how to understand rural movements online. The aim of this article is to study how politics of the rural is performed in and through social media. Seven Sweden-based…
Tracking Gendered Streams
One of the most prominent features of digital music services is the provision of personalized music recommendations that come about through the profiling of users and audiences. Based on a range of 'bot experiments,' this article investigates if, and how, gendered patterns in music recommendations are provided by the streaming service Spotify. While our experiments did not give any strong indications that Spotify assigns different taste profiles …
Decolonising the Rainbow Flag
The aim of the article is to explore the location and the meaning given to the rainbow flag in places outside the hegemonic center. Through three case studies in the global North and South, held together by a multi-ethnographic approach, as well as a certain theoretical tension between the rainbow flag as a boundary object and/or a floating signifier, we seek to study where the flag belongs, to whom it belongs, with particular focus on how. The t…
Dimensions of Everyday Resistance
Since James Scott introduced the concept of 'everyday resistance' in 1985, research has grown within partly overlapping fields. Existing studies utilize very different definitions, methodologies and understandings of 'everyday resistance', which makes a systematic development of the field difficult. In previous work, the authors have suggested a theoretical and definitional framework where everyday resistance is understood as a specific kind of r…
Dimensions of everyday resistance
This article applies our earlier proposed theoretical framework on everyday resistance in the case of Palestinian Sumūd (steadfastness) in relation to the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories and the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. Our original framework rests on the dimensions of: (I) repertoires of everyday resistance; (II) relationships of agents; as well as the (III) spatialization and (IV) temporalization of everyday resistance. Th…

Kroppar, dislokationer och politiska praktiker på YouTube
This article explores the benefits of political discourse theory in the analysis of self harm video blogs. It is argued that a reworked concept of ‘dislocation’ (e.g. Laclau 1985, 1990; Glynos & Howarth 2007) can shed light on the chaotic experiences prior to the act of self harm, and it is further claimed that this act, as well as the practice of video blogging, can be seen as responses to the dislocatory experience. On the explicit level, the v…
Learning to Eat Strawberries in a Disciplined Way Normalization Practices Following Organ Transplantation
This article addresses everyday strategies of coming to terms with organ transplantation that we term normalization practices. The analysis is based on focus group discussions and ethnographic interviews with transplant recipients, their relatives and waiting list patients in Sweden, Cyprus and Germany. Exploring our respondents’ narratives we analytically differentiate between three levels of practices normalizing the post-transplantation experi…
Självskada och berättelser om psykiatrin
The aim of this article is to examine the construction of psychiatry and patienthood in personal accounts of self-harm. Drawing on interviews and dialogues from Internet message boards, I show that the relationship between psychiatry and the self-harming patient is often critically framed. Psychiatry is said to pay too much attention to acts of self-harm instead of trying to understand the patient's thoughts and feelings. This particular construc…
Institutionalization of risk and safety management at the local governmental level in Sweden
The starting point for this article is the need for empirical knowledge about organizational configuration for societal risk and safety management activities in a modern welfare society. In this paper, we use Sweden as an empirical frame to analyze the administrative management structure at the local governmental level. The analysis is based on statistical analysis of information from a web‐survey with administrative chief/head officials (n = 128…
The Health of Trafficked Women
Trained counselors interviewed 192 women who had been trafficked and sexually exploited about abuse and evaluated their physical and mental health status within 14 days of entry into posttrafficking services. Most reported physical or sexual violence while trafficked (95%), pre-trafficking abuse (59%), and multiple posttrafficking physical and psychological problems. Newly identified trafficked women require immediate attention to address posttra…
Marginaliserade manskroppar
This artide is analysing contemporary cultural menings of the fat male body. More specifically it is looking into how the fat, male body is used as a cultural symbol for the crisis of a white, heterosexual working-class masculinity, in relation to the hegemonic masculine (and fallic) body as hard, muscular and impermeable. Two British movies are used as illustrating examples, both dealing with the male working class anti-hero as facing social and…
Ett vackert lidande
In this article I discuss how a certain mood — in this case a complex one, summarized in the word suffering — takes material, physical and linguistic shape, and how the feeling, expressed through certain aesthetics, becomes the means for social positioning. My focus is on young people in specific subcultures, where suffering is regarded as something attractive and desirable. Giving physical shape to suffering is for these people a way to present …
Snapshot of the Substance Abuse Treatment Workforce in 2002

Adolescents and adults who abuse substances need competent, knowledgeable, and qualified staff to provide services to meet their treatment needs. However, providers of substance abuse treatment services ar…

It also emphases the variations in the social definitions and experiences of womens body size; historical and social as well as cultural ones.
