This article concerns efforts to increase the accessibility of art through digital collections on the web. Features for display and comparison used by the platform of the Swedish artist Ivar Arosenius and by web projects such as Europeana and Google Art & Culture will be discussed. These features include random display, recommendations and machine learning of visual similarities. Key questions are: What are the general implications of these featu…
In Good Condition
This article examines how notions of patina are conveyed by experts in the antiques trade. How do antiques experts convey perceptions of patina to their clients and audience? How do they explain, persuade, and put forward their standards of condition? Three examples are analysed, a conversation about a sundial from the Swedish Antiques Roadshow, a conversation about a toy car from the British Antiques Roadshow and a vintage watches collecting gui…
Nostalgic photographs in the contemporary image ecology
This article concerns how nostalgic photographs are circulated in new contexts such as packaging and social media. The purpose is to explore the ontological transformations of photographs in the contemporary image ecology, blurring the categories “analogue” and “digital”. What new meanings and materiality can old photographs acquire when for instance put on packages that are used, thrown away, recycled and sometimes upcycled? The crisp producer T…
Typology and distribution of small farms in Europe
The contribution of small farms to local food supply, food security and food sovereignty is widely acknowledged at a global level. In the particular case of Europe, they often are seen as an alternative to large and specialised farms. Assessing the real role of small farms has been limited by a lack of information, as small farms are frequently omitted from agricultural censuses and national statistics. It is also well acknowledged that small far…
The Guest and the Intruder
The personal versus the institutional voice in an open photographic archive
In an open photographic archive where both archival institutions and the general public can upload images and provide them with descriptions, a noted difference can be perceived between the institutional voice and the personal voice. Private persons’ written descriptions of their photographs tend to have a more subjective style than the neutral, objective style of descriptions written by institutional staff influenced by archival guidelines. Seve…
The mummy and the medical gaze
The British Museum’s exhibition Ancient lives, new discoveries (2014–2015) is analysed from the point of view of how medical imaging was used to convey new knowledge about mummies and ancient history to the general public. Real mummies were on display together with interactive visualisations. The dramaturgy was based on eight mummies’ life stories and the audience was encouraged to identify with the mummies as individuals. However, the article ar…
Hugo Kauder's unexpressed philosophical concept
Hugo Kauder, born in 1888 near Prague, composer, instrumentalist, theoretician and music-philosopher, came to Vienna in 1905, left Austria after the Novemberpogrom 1938 and reached New York via the Netherlands and England in 1940. In 1938 Tel Aviv was also one of his intended havens (parts of Kauder's estate are kept at the National Library of Israel, Jerusalem). Engaged in the crisis discourse in Vienna's postwar period of the early 1920s, Kaude…
Reading packages
Packaging is surrounded by many restrictions and at the same time is the subject of much innovative design solutions. It is an area that offers rich material for studying how signs and codes are transformed and generate new meanings. The purpose of this article is to show how semiosis is enacted in food packaging and to discuss the semiotic resources involved. Three topics are analysed: how greenwashing can be achieved with the help of graphic de…
The Package as an Actor in Organic Shops
This article examines the different and often overlooked roles that packages can perform in specialised organic shops. The paper reports on case studies of three organic shops of different types: a pioneering alternative organic shop, a small shop run by a big cooperative company and a recently started organic shop with a modern style, all located in Sweden. In addition to interviews, the paper draws on material produced through visual analysis a…
Green Marketing on the Go
This article analyzes a co-branding venture between a Swedish railroad company and a coffee company that resulted in a disposable coffee cup. The aim is to relate it to environmental marketing, contextualize it as a cultural object, and trace its media history. Landscape representation in railroad marketing, coffee marketing, and conservation photography is discussed. What does the cup show and what does it exclude from view? The theoretical appr…

METHODS: Qualitative study in which data were gathered from open-ended interviews conducted fr…
A lesson to be learned or `Take a walk on the wild side
This article analyses an advertisement postcard issued by a mountain bike company to promote a safe riding style. Instead of conveying a straightforward didactic message about safety, the card is shown to be quite ambiguous. The discourse concerning extreme sports and mountain biking in particular is explored through internet sources such as discussion forums. This discourse revolves around the capacity to face danger and endure pain, which is an…

Are Apprenticeships Still Relevant in the 21st Century? A Case Study of Changing Youth Training Arrangements in German Banks
The authors present a detailed case study of the evolution of apprenticeships in German banking over the past two decades to analyze why employers continue to be willing to invest in these programs that provide workers with transferable skills. They explain employers' motivation in terms of two "logics." Some considerations stemming from the logic of consequences, such as recruitment cost savings and enhanced workplace flexibility, encourage rete…

Schooling Standards in England and Germany
The way higher productivity depends on a workforce that is technically-skilled at all levels—from operators and foremen to senior engineers and directors of production—was examined on the basis of an interview-study of matched engineering firms in Britain and Germany in the last issue of this Review. The present article traces differences in workforce skills between these two countries to differences in preparation at school, particularly in math…

The German Apprenticeship System under Strain
In the past few years growing concern has been expressed about the viability of the German training model in the present circumstances of globalisation and new forms of work organisation. This chapter begins by discussing the balance between the costs and benefits of training. The author suggests that while the German training system might be coping with the new forms of work organisation two further problems have affected the sustainability of t…
