Romani Liberation
No full textCentered on the trajectory of the emancipation of Roma people in Scandinavia, Romani Liberation is a powerful challenge to the stereotype describing Romani as passive and incapable of responsibility and agency. The author also criticizes benevolent but paternalistic attitudes that center on Romani victimhood.
The first part of the book offers a comprehensive overview of the chronological phases of Romani emancipation in Sweden and other countries. Underscoring the significance of Roma activism in this process, Jan Selling profiles sixty Romani activists and protagonists, including numerous original photos. The narrative is followed by an analysis of the concepts of historical justice and of the process of decolonizing Romani Studies. Selling highlights the impact of the historical contexts that have enabled or impeded the success of the struggles against discrimination and for equal rights, emphasizing Romani activism as a precondition for liberation.
The particular Swedish framework is accentuated by a stimulating preface by the international activist Nicoleta Bitu, and afterwords by two prominent Romani advocates, the politician Soraya Post and the singer, author, and elder Hans Caldaras

Varför accepteras antiziganism mer än annan rasism? : Om ett tappat momentum och behovet av allianser
No full textSelling argues that antigypsyism has not been understood as a real racism rooted in colonialism and has therefore been ignored by many anti-racists. Through retrospectives of racism against Roma in Swedish history, Selling shows that the struggle against antigypsyism has partly been characterized by the fact that Roma have rarely considered themselves a "revolutionary subject" and therefore had to seek alliances with power, which have proven to be unstable. Selling also shows how the state has secured itself with a system of reference groups, which rewards yes-persons, but excludes the growing number of young qualified Roma antigypsyism critics. At the same time, the struggle of Roma has won successes, and the author describes examples of important Roma representatives, from Rosa Taikon and Hans Caldaras to Soraya Post, and the various momentum that has come as a result of the fact that antigypsyism in Sweden has been increasingly exposed. The essay also analyzes how unpredictable mass media events can undermine or fuel latent and manifest antigypsyism. Today, the author argues, there are openings to rediscover the consequences of antigypsyism through new alliances.Selling argumenterar för att antiziganismen inte har förståtts som en riktig rasism med grund i kolonialismen och därför ignorerats av andra antirasister. Genom tillbakablickar på rasismen mot romer i den svenska historien visar Selling att kampen mot antiziganismen delvis har präglats av att romer sällan själva har betraktat sig som ett ”revolutionärt subjekt” och därför behövt söka allianser med makten, vilka visat sig vara instabila. Selling visar också hur statsmakten säkrat upp sig med ett system av referensgrupper, som premierar ja-sägare, men stänger ute den växande skaran av unga kvalificerade romska antiziganismkritiker Samtidigt har romers kamp vunnit framgångar, och författaren beskriver exempel på viktiga romska representanter, från Rosa Taikon och Hans Caldaras till Soraya Post, och de olika momentum som kommit genom att antiziganismen i Sverige har blottlagts. I uppsatsen analyseras också hur oförutsägbara massmediala händelser kan komma att undergräva eller underblåsa latent och manifest antiziganism. I dag, menar författaren, finns det öppningar för att återupptäcka antiziganismens konsekvenser genom nya allianser
<em>Så länge skutan kan gå</em> : <em>Möten med skärgårdens sista fiskare</em>
No full textSamma historia utspelar sig runt om Östersjön. Skärgårdens yrkesfiske är på väg att försvinna och med den ett levande kulturarv. När turisterna och sommarfolket rest hem är det tyst, mörkt och kallt i allt fler stugor på de en gång tätbefolkade öarna. Historikern och journalisten Jan Selling har i ett unikt samarbete med bildhuggaren Gösta Holmer skapat ett kollektivporträtt av människor i norra Smålands skärgård som lever nära naturen och dagligen hanterar redskap med en lång kulturhistoria. Fiskarebefolkningens röster berättar tänkvärt om miljöförändringar, marknadsekonomi, manlighet och glesbygdens villkor. </p
Short-Selling Bans around the World: Evidence from the 2007-09 Crisis
No full textMost stock exchange regulators around the world reacted to the 2007-2009 crisis by imposing bans or regulatory constraints on short-selling. Short-selling restrictions were imposed and lifted at different dates in different countries, often applied to different sets of stocks and featured different degrees of stringency. We exploit this considerable variation in short-sales regimes to identify their effects with panel data techniques, and find that bans (i) were detrimental for liquidity, especially for stocks with small market capitalization, high volatility and no listed options; (ii) slowed down price discovery, especially in bear market phases, and (iii) failed to support stock prices, except possibly for U.S. financial stocks.short selling, ban, crisis, liquidity, price discovery.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
ELEVEN FACES OF JAN GOGOL, JR.
No full textAuthor Jan Rendl in his thesis attempts to look at the world of ideas and educator Jan
Gogola ml. through the eleven chapters in which each chapter somehow characterizes itself by Jan Gogola ml. and each of them somehow determines its creative ideas of it through the metaphor of a football match when Jan Gogola, with its characters, movies himself a teammate, as well as defensively. It gives goals with their situations as well as occasionally digging his opponents ankles.
Jan Gogola ml. thus embodies one stage of the Department of Documentary Film at FAMU, which often stands at the intersection between teaching activities and Karel Vachek among students who applied by them during their seminars psychological methods that work must be peculiarly associated with the author of the film
Svensk antiziganism : Fördomens kontinuitet och förändringens förutsättningar
No full textBoken är ett unikt bidrag till antiziganismforskningen - det vill saga forskningen om fordomar, negativa stereotyper och rasism riktade mot romer och resande, som den yttrar sig i forskning, lagstiftning och social praktik. Här drar Selling djupare historiska linjer for att visa pa hur antiziganistiska forestallningar som befastades i den orientalistiska forskningslitteraturen fran 1700-talet (Grellmann, men aven de svenska avhandlingarna av Bjorckman och Rabenius) aterproducerades och formade svensk diskurs om "zigenare" och "tattare" langt in pa 1900- talet. Dessa diskurser politiserades och radikaliserades ytterligare genom liering med rasbiologin och rashygienen som var brett politiskt forankrade i det tidiga folkhemmets Sverige. Selling anvander sig aven har av en teknik som ar typisk for hans forskning, genom att valja ut ett antal ganska olika kalltyper och fallstudier som syftar till att fa fram olika diskurspositioner. Ivar Lo-Johanssons forfattarskap, Katarina Taikons medborgarrattsliga inspel och etnologen Karl-Olov Arntsbergs kritik av den mangkulturella toleransen far pa sa vis illustrera olika sidor av diskursen kring "zigenare", antiziganismens olika ansikten och forsok till att etablera romska motdiskurser mot antiziganistiska strukturer. Utover detta anvands tva detaljerade fallstudier: de s.k. "tattarkravallerna" i Jonkoping 1948 och Ludvikafallet i 1956 (en avhysning av romer med rattsligt efterspel dar polisen slutligen falldes for tjanstefel). Genom fallstudierna far Selling syn pa en antiziganistisk social praktik som saknade stod i lagar och forordningar men reproducerades i medier, kommunpolitiken, poliskaren och delar av rattsvasendet. En annan mycket viktig aspekt som Sellings bok tar upp (och satter pa kartan for forsta gang i Sverige) ar den romantiserande och exotifierande filoziganismen som en underart av antiziganism.The book is a unique contribution to antigypsyism research - that is, the research on prejudice, negative stereotypes and racism directed against Roma and Travellers, as it manifests itself in research, legislation and social practice. Here, Selling draws deeper historical lines to show how antigypsyist notions that were consolidated in the Orientalist research literature of the 18th century (Grellmann, but also the Swedish treatises by Björckman and Rabenius) were reproduced and shaped Swedish discourse on "gypsies" and "tattare" well into the 20th century. These discourses were further politicized and radicalized through association with eugenics and eugenics, which were broadly politically rooted in the early Sweden of the welfare state. Selling also uses a technique typical of his research, by selecting a number of quite different types of sources and case studies that aim to elicit different discourse positions. Ivar Lo-Johansson's writings, Katarina Taikon's civil rights input and ethnologist Karl-Olov Arntsberg's critique of multicultural tolerance are thus allowed to illustrate different sides of the discourse around "gypsies", the different faces of anti-gypsyism and attempts to establish Roma counter-discourses against anti-gypsy structures. In addition to this, two detailed case studies are used: the so-called "tattar riots" in Jönköping in 1948 and the Ludvika case in 1956 (an eviction of Roma with legal repercussions where the police were finally convicted of misconduct). Through the case studies, Selling sees an antigypsyist social practice that lacked support in laws and regulations but was reproduced in the media, municipal politics, the police and parts of the judicial system. Another very important aspect that Selling's book addresses (and puts on the map for the first time in Sweden) is the romanticizing and exotifying philozigananism as a subspecies of antigypsyism.</p
