Music Asylums: Wellbeing Through Music in Everyday Life
Taking a cue from Erving Goffman’s classic work, Asylums, Tia DeNora develops a novel interdisciplinary framework for music, health and wellbeing. Considering health and illness both in medical contexts and in the often-overlooked realm of everyday life, DeNora argues that these identities are by no means mutually exclusive. Moreover, she suggests that the promotion of health and more specifically, mental health, involves a great deal more than a concern with medication, genetic predispositions, clinical and neuro-scientific procedures. Adopting a holistic, interactionist focus, Music Asylums reconnects states of wellness and wellbeing to encounters with others and - critically - to opport...
Sten Broman
Hur minns vi Sten Broman? Som en violaspelande musiker och tonsättare av modernistiska musikstycken. En skarpsynt journalist och världsvan resenär. Eller en konsekvent elitistisk estet och folklig musikpedagog. Oavsett roll blev han en legendarisk profil som med sin utstuderade livsstil och sina provokativa åsikter satte djupa avtryck i svenskt kulturliv under flera decennier. I biografin om denne färgstarke Lundabo möter vi både den kände och den okände Sten Broman. Det blir ett lärorikt strövtåg genom den händelserika barndomen och vidare genom en musikalisk och medial karriär. Tiden vid Lunds universitet slutade i en katastrof då han misslyckades med sin doktorsavhandling. ...
Policy Instruments for Environmental and Natural Resource Management
As Thomas Sterner points out, the economic 'toolkit' for dealing with environmental problems has become formidable. It includes taxes, charges, permits, deposit-refund systems, labeling, and other information disclosure mechanisms. Though not all these devices are widely used, empirical application has started within some sectors, and we are beginning to see the first systematic efforts at an advanced policy design that takes due account of market-based incentives. Sterner‘s book encourages more widespread and careful use of economic policy instruments. Intended primarily for application in developing and transitional countries, the book compares the accumulated experiences of the use of e...
Capitalists Against Markets
Peter Swenson's study implies that contrary to popular wisdom the welfare state builders in the USA and Sweden during the 1930s were motivated by a pragmatism founded in capitalist interests and preferences.
History, Memory, and Identity in Post-Soviet Estonia
Sigrid Rausing describes the changing world of the Estonian Swedes, and the way in which this minority identity was constructed in the various ideologies that have dominated the region since the early twentieth century. In particular she is concerned with the latest of these changes: thepost-Soviet attempt to 'restore' Swedish cultural identity. Rausing touches on a wide range of issues, debates, and insights: the relationship between ideology and form, nationalist and Soviet notions of ethnicity and traditional culture and historically-framed notions of an imagined normality.The ethnographic location for these discussions is a particular former collective farm, now subject to economic decline, the Estonian nation-building ideological project, and new relationships of dependency with Sweden. One of the author's central arguments is that these changes reflect a consciousattempt to 'reform habitus' so as to match that of the local image of the West, but that the location of ethnic culture and many of the operative concepts still reflect the tropes of the Soviet era.
