The Swedish word flyktingkris, comparable to the German word flüchtlingskrise and the English term refugee crisis, used to denote some distant tragedy befalling desperate people. But that meaning changed as it became the predominant word to describe the increased influx of refugees to Europe in 2015. As the media directed its attention to the situation, the number of articles in Swedish newspapers

The purpose of this Thesis is to investigate the Mexican religious phenomenon of Santa Muerte and the mediatization that both simplifies and sensationalizes her. By investigating public Santa Muerte shrines and prayer cards in Guadalajara and Mexico City, by interviewing devotees in both cities, and by looking at media depictions of Santa Muerte, this project will explore how mediatization affects

Social exclusion has affected the lives of Romanies for centuries. Today this continues in France and across many countries in Europe. In France, a large obstacle for inclusion has been the lack of education regarding Romani history, which has enabled stereotypes and misperceptions of the Romani communities to become prominent. Additionally, many Romanies have not received general education as is

As a researcher, I have spent countless hours hunting for tags. Recently, I started thinking about ways to represent not just my physical search, but also the thought process taking place alongside the visible bodily activities: remembering – for example – the style, medium, size and placement of previous tags of interest in order to better spot similar tags and their likely locations.This video i

Part of a wider project on how the Vietnam War (1945-1975) is remembered by three key collectives, Vietnamese communists, Vietnamese Americans and the United States, this article focuses primarily on the latter. Using the theory of cultural trauma as its framework, this is a study in trauma and collective memory, its impact and the social processes through which such memory is constructed and main

The Palestine problem was one of the first conflicts the newly formed United Nations (UN) was obliged to contend with. Secretary-General Trygve Lie played an active part in the proceedings, and his consistent support for the partition plan and Israeli UN membership has led to charges of Zionist sympathies and that his actions were based on this personal political bias. What explains the UN Secreta

his work examines the contemporaneous Swedish experience from participation in the United Nations operation in the Congo, ONUC, from 1960 to 1964. Inspired by Carl von Clausewitz’s understanding of war as a trinity consisting of three ‘nodes’: the political authority, the people and the military, this study focuses on the ONUC experience as described by the government in Sweden, leading Swedish ne

In 1935, a law on prescription-based sterilisation of ‘the idiot, the imbecile, and the mentally ill’ was passed by a majority in the Finnish parliament. Complementary of earlier eugenic legislation, it was considered beneficial for public health and economy, following the examples of ‘advanced’ countries such as Sweden and Germany. The cultural journal Tulenkantajat (The Fire Bearers, 1932-1939)

This essay follows the repatriation process and debate concerning the return of the Paracas textiles from the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg, Sweden to the National Museum in Lima, Peru. The essay uses mass media such as newspaper articles and radio segments to map the themes and problems that arise when one country asks for the return of cultural artefacts and the other country has to resp

This article looks at the politics of shame in relation to the suppressed protests of December 2010 that challenged the re-election of Aliaksandr Lukashenka as president of Belarus (1994–present). My empirical data consist of independent media publications, blog posts, and interviews that speak of “shame” as an emotional response to the protest, its aftermath, and its general context. The article

The pitch. This is the core of the process, 90 minutes of a game, creatinghistory ad hoc, constantly, quickly, and sometimes painfully. 22 playersrun and fight over the ball, for their careers, respect, and fame. Supportersoften see themselves as the most important participants in the footballexperience, but one needs players. The emphasis in the media has oftenbeen on the football superstars, des

Through a comparative analysis of works by street artists Faile and Banksy, from both the street and the gallery, I make the point that the field of modern street art is not as homogenous as the media and the established art world often portray it. By differentiating between sub- and counter-cultural agents, I point out the span of social and ideological backgrounds within the street art culture a

The threat to the rural heritage has since the 1990s become a concern for Chinesescholars and heritage experts. Today many individual buildings and whole villageshave been listed as protected sites at different levels. But long before experts began totake an interest, villagers were themselves actively involved in protecting their owntraditions and the buildings of importance to the community (in

The Öresund region, or Greater Copenhagen as it also is represented as, is a cross-border region connecting Skåne with Copenhagen. Political initiatives have forced development towards a more integrated region with one regional identity. This has been complicated by border controls, redefining the national borders in an inconvenient way, especially for everyday transnational commuters. Through sem
