Vad en bruksortskommuns sociologik kan säga oss om det aktiva samhället
No full textI sin essä utforskar Jon Sunnerfjell dynamiken i det så kallade aktiva samhället, präglat av välfärdsstatens tillbakadragande och strukturella konflikters förskjutning från statlig till lokal nivå, utifrån en större etnografisk studie om en bruksortskommuns åtgärdsprogram för arbetslösa. Artikeln belyser motsättningen mellan den marknadslogik som impregnerar det aktiva samhällets policyorientering och som tar sig uttryck i ett starkt mobilitetsimperativ och i normativa ideal om anställningsbarhet och entreprenörskap, och en typ av social rationalitet som i essän förstås i termer av bruksandans sociologik. Den senare illustrerar en typ av subjektivitet som formades i traditionella bruks- och industrisamhällen, och som genom att uppvärdera lojalitet, gemenskap och manuellt arbete står i bjärt kontrast till det aktiva samhällets påbud om självförverkligande på en alltmer abstrakt arbetsmarknad
Vad en bruksortskommuns sociologik kan säga oss om det aktiva samhället
Full text link[What the sociologic of an industrial community can tell us about the active society]In his essay, Jon Sunnerfjell explores the dynamics of the so-called active society, characterized by the withdrawal of the welfare state and the displacement of structural conflicts from the state to the local level, based on a larger ethnographic study of an industrial municipality’s action programme for the unemployed. The article highlights the contradiction between the market logic that impregnates the active society’s policy orientation and which expresses itself in a strong mobility imperative and in normative ideals of employability and entrepreneurship, and a type of social rationality that is understood in the essay in terms of the sociologic of the industrial spirit of community. The latter illustrates a type of subjectivity that was formed in traditional industrial communities, and which, by valuing loyalty, community and manual labour, stands in stark contrast to the active society’s imperatives of self-realization in an increasingly abstract labour market.Publication history: Published original.(Published 20 June 2024)Citation: Sunnerfjell, Jon (2024) “Vad en bruksortskommuns sociologik kan säga oss om det aktiva samhället”, in Arkiv.

Un-learning to labour? Activating the unemployed in a former industrial community
No full textIn the aftermath of automation and globalisation of production, the Western welfare states have come to leave industrial society behind in favour of an increasingly competitive and service-oriented economy. Nevertheless, there are many environments whose inhabitants still identify with the culture that developed in typical industrial communities. In addition to high unemployment rates, these environments are often burdened by a situated lack of study tradition whereby unemployed people still aspire to occupy manual labour despite a lack of such jobs. This thesis examines the attempts to break with the reproduction of a manual working-class culture in a former industrial community in Sweden. Using ethnographic methods, it explores how so-called activation policy intending to reduce public expenditures on economic benefits in favour of fostering responsible and employable individuals, is translated locally given the community’s situated rationality. With theoretical inspiration from the governmentality perspective, literature on social class, as well as Boltanski and Thévenot’s economicsociological pragmatism, the analysis shows how the municipality’s translation of activation policy tended to incorporate rather than transform a manual working-class culture in the activation of unemployed. The thesis argues that this hindered the market imperatives and logic of self-realisation pervading activation policy to take root in the activation schemes. Furthermore, the thesis points to how concepts such as inclusion and exclusion, which are central to the active society orientation, appeared ambiguous in light of unemployed who already nurtured a sense of belonging and social attachment. By deepening our understanding of situated rationalities and how they may compete with the logic imbuing supranational policy recommendations on activation and active inclusion, these are conclusions of interest to both policy makers and actors involved in the activation of unemployed locally
