Ungdomskultur och infformellt lärande: Karriärvägar, identitetsbildning och mobiliserande folkbildning
Adolescens och estetisk praxis
Med utgångspunkt i psykoanalys och lingvistisk symbolteori diskuterar Ove Sernhede hur det egna skapandet griper in i adolescensutvecklingen. Han undersöker faktorer som kan tänkas ligga bakom att det just är musiken som hamnat i centrum för ungdomskulturen
Functions of autoreception: Karl Ove Knausgård as author-critic and rewriter
Karl Ove Knausgård made his entry into the literary field as a critic in the 1990s, and he has
since 1998 made his mark as a novelist and essayist. The six-volume autobiographical work
Min kamp (2009-2011) is in essence about what it means for him to be an author. This thesis
investigates Knausgård’s strategies as a critic, essayist, and as the author of Min kamp to
position himself and his poetics within the literary field and a literary tradition. Specifically,
it examines the functions of autoreception, i.e. self-criticism, implicit in Knausgård’s role as
an author-critic, an author who writes literary criticism, and as a rewriter, an author who
rewrites his own texts and the context and poetic intentions of his previous texts. Thus, this
thesis aims to answer the question what are the functions of criticism and of rewriting for Karl Ove
Knausgård as an author?
Part I outlines a new framework of autoreception devised for examining the functions of
criticism and rewriting. The proposed common denominator is that both function to
establish, position, and validate an author-image. Ultimately, a new understanding of the
narration in Min kamp as autoreceptive is offered. Part II examines a largely unexplored area
of Knausgård’s work, namely the strategies of Knausgård as a critic prior to publishing his
first novel, and how Knausgård rewrites himself during this period in Min kamp. Part III
focuses on Knausgård’s rewriting of the period between writing his second novel and up
until he begins writing Min kamp. It investigates the strategic functions of the narrative
structure, the functions of the essayistic and critical passages, and the functions of the
distance and unity between past and present author-images that Knausgård creates in his
rewriting.
This thesis thus aims to contribute to the scholarship regarding Karl Ove Knausgård by
conducting an author-study that examines the relationship between criticism and poetics. In
addition, it aims to contribute to a broader field of research by offering a theoretical and
methodological framework of autoreception, which works across the boundaries of critical,
essayistic, and literary texts
Från välfärdsstat till partnerskap. Om förskjutning av makt och ansvar i ”särskilt utsatta” stadsdelar
Sammandrag: Under de senaste decennierna har samhällets stödinsatser i de bostadsområden som idag går under beteckningen ”särskilt utsatta” ändrat karaktär. Staten har allt mer dragit sig tillbaka, polisiära prioriteringar har hamnat i förgrunden och kommunerna har i jakt på resurser riktat in sig på att skapa olika former av partnerskap och samverkansprojekt med bostadsföretag i de berörda områdena. Johannes Lunneblad och Ove Sernhede riktar i sin artikel blicken mot ett sådant projekt i Göteborg för att undersöka vad den nya inriktningen innebär. I Göteborg har det kommunala bostadsbolaget fått i uppdrag att ta huvudansvaret för att utveckla en långsiktig strategi för att eliminera alla ”särskilt utsatta” stadsdelar i staden från polisens lista. Modellen för insatserna är ett partnerskap mellan fastighetsägare, kommun och föreningsliv. Men när makten över olika lokala verksamheter på detta sätt flyttas från politikens domän blir frågor om maktfördelning och ansvarsutkrävande brännande. Artikeln belyser de konflikter och motsättningar som uppstår mellan olika intressen inom ramen för ett partnerskapsprojekt och frågar sig vad som händer när frågor om fattigdom och segregation omvandlas från att vara politiska frågor till att bli en angelägenhet för en företagskoncerns stadsutvecklingsambitioner
Social mobilization or illicit drug use and street crimes [Elektronisk resurs] : Two strategies among young urban outcasts
This presentation deals with processes of marginalization and patterns of segregation in contemporary Sweden, which have transformed the former welfare state towards increased segregation and inequality between different social groups. Two ethnographic studies on young men (one carried out by Lalander and another by Ove Sernhede) living in stigmatized metropolitan areas are used in discussion and analysis. During the 1990s we could see the birth and growth of new forms of poverty in multi-ethnic suburbs of the metropolitan districts of Sweden. During the last two decades, youth subcultures oriented towards Reggae and Hip hop have grown and attracted many young people in these metropolitan areas. This article focuses on how two youth collectives in two metropolitan areas developed different strategies to cope with discrimination, second class citizenship and territorial stigmatization. In both these collectives it is possible so see how informal learning processes, embedded in cultural praxis of the youth groups and empowered by a connection to African-American music cultures, enable these groups and individuals to express themselves. The youth collective in one suburb articulates a social and political criticism that could be compared to the cultural aspirations of the labour movement in the early part of the last century. The youth from the other neighbourhood have a strong fascination with criminal out-law culture and do not articulate themselves in the same way as members of the other group. Still their cultural expressions must be understood as ways to deal with their positions as marginalized, immigrant youth.</p
