This paper explores the way in which the relationship between civil society and the state in times of populist governance can be understood from the point of view of Hartmut Rosa’s theory of resonance. We apply Hartmut Rosa’s (2019) theory about a resonant society to understand how the populist turn in politics and state-civil society relations is related to broader societal processes such as acce

Flexicurity is a union of the English words flexibility and security. The union of the two words to one common term, hints that flexibility and security does not have to be each others counterparts in order to achieve good economical development and employment.

According to Polarity Theory, all ideologies are fundamentally polarized by a conflict between Humanism, which idealizes and glorifies humanity, and Normativism, which portrays human goodness and worth as contingent upon conformity and achievement. Humanism and Normativism have, however, turned out to be distinct worldviews rather than opposite ends of a single bipolar continuum. Introducing a hie

Although high-throughput studies of gene expression have generated large amounts of data, most of which is freely available in public archives, the use of this valuable resource is limited by computational complications and non-homogenous annotation. To address these issues, we have performed a complete re-annotation of public microarray data from human skeletal muscle biopsies and constructed a m

This thesis concerns the role of disability and assistive devices in everyday life among persons with, for instance, impairments related to mobility (e.g. wheelchair users) and bodily shape and configuration (e.g. dysmelia). Assistive devices are seen as both includators (assisting participation and emancipation) and excludators (limiting participation, restraining empowerment, and stigmatizing).

The present article analyses the mediatization of the brand and celebrity Zlatan Ibrahimovic using the reception and marketing of the footballer's life story and autobiography as its main case. It is shown that the construction of a myth such as Ibrahimovic transcends the materiality of the book as well as geographical, vernacular and media boundaries, as it is constituted as content in a digital
