Att vakna upp som suedi
Full text linkI låten ”Suedi” (2015) uttrycker den svenska rapparen Erik Lundin dilemmat av att växa upp i mellanförskap, d.v.s. att rasifieras i Norden men bli betraktad som svensk i släktens hemland. Med ett intryck av autenticitet men med en rad retoriska stereotyper målar han en coming-of-age-berättelse, från barndomen och livet i en av de så kallade miljonförorterna, till dagen man ”hittar sig själv” och vågar ”komma ut” för sina föräldrar som svensk. I denna artikel läser jag Lundins låt litterärt och tar distans till den traditionella hiphopsforskningens etniska filter. Min analys visar att genom att återta uttrycket ”suedi” (ett förnedrande ord för stereotypiska svenskar på förortslang), börjar Lundin överskrida misstron gentemot den konservativa borgerligheten. Parallellt förespråkar han idén om ett postnationellt Sverige där den icke-vita postinvandringsgenerationen skulle kunna identifiera sig som svensk utan tvivel eller skam

The individual in the law and practice of the International Court of Justice /

This insightful critique presents the wealth of potential to further include individuals in the Court's law and practice"-
NGOs as amicus in investor-state arbitration: Addressing public interest and human rights issues
No full textIt is argued that the organisations that are best suited to represent the interests of the affected people of the host state and advocate for the protection of human rights in investor-state arbitration are non-governmental organisations (NGOs). According to the authors, NGOs allow public interest considerations to be taken into account while the tribunal broadly looks at all the issues involved in the dispute. It is also argued that NGOs, by being permitted to participate in arbitral proceedings, ensure transparency, which is often regarded as one of the primary solutions to the negative reactions to investor-state arbitration. To that extent, this chapter will attempt to explore public interest litigation vis-à-vis amicus participation in investor-state arbitration. Notably, this chapter begins by examining why human rights are not assigned the desired importance in most investor-state treaties and agreements. The second section discusses why the ‘interests of the public’ in the host state need to be represented in investor-state arbitral proceedings. The third section delves into analysing the potential role that NGOs can play in representing ‘public interests’ and ‘human rights’ issues before the arbitral tribunals through recent case studies. The fourth section discusses the safeguards and measures that can be taken to address the criticisms that have been levelled against the permitting of amicus curiae interventions in investor-state arbitral proceedings
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Sedari Suedi : En undersökning av möblers potentiella agens för interaktion i hemmet. Ett möblemang som återfinns i många hem i Marocko, omtolkas i kontexten av ett hem i Sverige.
No full textSedari kallas en sittmöbel som finns i många hem i Marocko. Suedi är slang för ”svensk” och Sedari Suedi är titeln på mitt examensprojekt. Designförslaget Sedari Suedi är en sittmöbel där kultur i hemmet från Marocko och Sverige möts. Bland annat för att undersöka hur kulturen i hemmet ser ut i Sverige idag. Material, färg och funktion arbetar tillsammans i kontraster för att symbolisera berättelser från mina undersökningar. Samt möjliggörandet av en ökad interaktion mellan individer i hemmet. I en globaliserad värld där människor är i rörelse på ett sätt som aldrig förr kan frågor kring kultur och identitet uppstå både hos individen men även ute i samhället. Hur kultur i hemmet och identitetsbyggande hänger ihop är givetvis en tolkningsfråga och upplevs troligtvis olika, av olika personer. Hur stor vikt har hemmet som uttrycksform och om artefakter är en förstärkning av en individ och dess status samt identitet är frågor jag reflekterat över under examensarbetets gång. Arbetet i detta projekt är en blandning i utforskande av egna upplevelser från tidigare erfarenheter, en resa till Marocko med sex stycken hembesök. En analys av utbudet av produkter för hemmet i Sverige, berättelser och samlade insikter från personer med marockansk bakgrund i Sverige, samt en användarstudie.Sedari is the name of a type of seating furniture found in many Moroccan homes. Suedi is slang for "Swedish" and Sedari Suedi is the title of my degree project. The design proposal Sedari Suedi is a seating furniture, where culture in the home from Morocco and Sweden come together. I investigate what the culture of the home looks like in Sweden today. The materials, colors and functions in the design proposal work together in contrasts to symbolize the stories from my explorations. As well as enabling an increased interaction between individuals in the home. In a globalized world where people are moving around more than ever, questions about culture and identity can arise both in the individual but also in the greater society. How is the culture of the home and its artefacts is connected to one’s identity? Is it an extension of an individuaI and a form of expression that goes beyond form and function? These are some questions that I reflect on during the course of the project. The research in this thesis is a mixture of exploration of my own previous experiences, a trip to Morocco including six home visits. An analysis of the range of products for the home in Sweden, stories and collected insights from people with Moroccan background in Sweden, and a user study
