This paper discusses processes of emotionalisation and commodification at home and work, a theme that has been a focus of Arlie Hochschild’s research in the USA over the last four decades. What happens when you look at similar processes within another national frame? The American experience is contrasted to that of two periods of rapid cultural and economic change in Swedish society during the ear

Seymour Mayne’s literary output is imbued with Canadian-fashioned multiculturalism. Additionally, an indefatigable search for his Jewish roots and Yiddish texts as preservers of ethnic memory involved his fictions and word-sonnets in a restorative approach. In spite of his academic profession, Mayne has a keen eye for landscape, nature and ecological implications. His subtlety resides in the mello

Ethnography of Archaeology is a new but fast growing field of interest and approach, investigating the practice and materiality of professional archaeology. Often the focus is on archaeological fieldwork, as the present volume illustrates. This contribution addresses the question of what kind of experience project members have on an archaeological excavation project. Besides the way a project can

The present article is a functional analysis of intonation in Russian declarative utterances. Pragmatically relevant tonal patterns and their functions are identified and described. Utterances are analysed in terms of theme and rheme. Theme is signalled by a tonal rise and rheme by a falling tonal gesture. Beside thematic and rhematic tonal gestures, other rising accents in the utterance are ident

The object of this paper is to develop a discussion of territoriality in the built environment as a way of dealing with issues of accessibility and the public nature of urban space. A discussion of territoriality makes it possible to deal with issues of spatial control and access in detail, as well as to maintain some of the complexity in the discussion by refraining from solely analysing these is

Abstract in UndeterminedA measure of coherence is said to be reliability conducive if and only if a higher degree of coherence (as measured) among testimonies implies a higher probability that the witnesses are reliable. Recently, it has been proved that several coherence measures proposed in the literature are reliability conducive in scenarios of equivalent testimonies (Olsson and Schubert 2007;

Den här uppsatsen ämnar belysa relevansen av feministisk kritik mot rättsväsendet. Med utgångspunkt i tidigare forskning och exempletsteriliseringspolitik och steriliseringslagstiftningar vill jag visa hur lagstiftningar reflekterar och återskapar normer tillhörande det samhällssystem inom vilken kontext de är stadgade i. Vidare vill jag visa att det är dessa normer och rådande system som lagstift

Uppsatsens övergripande syfte är att undersöka gränsdragningen mellan det tillåtna och icke tillåtna inom vården i förhållande till den svenska regleringen av dödshjälp. Uppsatsen har förutom att försöka se vad det rådande rättsläget säger om frågan ägnat att belysa vilka rättspolitiska överväganden som ligger till grund för den svenska regleringen. Frågan om dödshjälpens vara eller icke vara väckThe overall aim of the essay is to investigate the boundary between the permissible and non-permissible in healthcare in relation to the Swedish regulation of euthanasia.

The U.S. adaptation to the provoked insurgencies in Afghanistan and Iraq has led to a new groundbreaking doctrine focusing on this “new” insurgency warfare. Counterinsurgency, or COIN, has become a beacon for Western states battling rogue and disparate insurgents. In the cases of Afghanistan and Iraq, PRTs have been chosen to be on the frontlines in this guerilla war. This study mainly seeks to di

In the following thesis Anna Karenina, the novel by Lev Tolstoy and the literary film adaptation by Joe Wright, are discussed. The theatricalization of the upper class society in the novel was developed in the film narrative, and became a key for the analyses. The diegetic discourse of Wright’s new film appeared as an inspiration to re-inverstigate Anna’s character and her microcosm. As a result,

This essay presents a picture of swedish reggae listeners and how their love of music give meaning to their lives and unite them in a sub-culture. Based on interviews with six young men about their involvement in reggae, it also investigates the relationship between music and identity, or more clearly; how identity is expressed through music. Furthermore, I discuss the notion of taste according to

In this study I analyse Polish foreign policy since it became a member of the European Union. This period, 2004-2007, has been characterized by some controversial decisions by the Polish government, creating an image of Poland among the other European member states as an ?awkward partner?. Taking Thomas Pedersen's conception of cooperative hegemony as a point of departure, I aim to deliver a c
