No full textAuthor: Cajsa Vallinder Title: Double exposed - A qualitative study of professional’s opinion about effort and needs of effort for abused women with substance abuse in Kalmar. Supervisor: Svante Forsberg Assessor: Ulf Drugge Women with substance abuse are more likely to be exposed to violence. Despite this, they are having a hard time to get help and support from social service. The purpose of this study is to analyze how professionals express their experience about efforts and needs of efforts for abused women with substance abuse problems. Questions: 1. How do professional´s in Kalmar think about the efforts for abused women with substance abuse problems? 2. How do professional´s in Kalmar think about the needs of efforts for abused women with substance abuse problems? 3. How could the preventive work be done? This study is qualitative and was done with four semi-structed interviews with four professionals who work in various social services in Kalmar. The results show that two of these services offer support for victims of violence and two of them offer help for substance abuse problems. I found that the efforts are good but there is also a considerable lack of effort, especially when it comes to accommodation for these women. There is nowhere for these women to go if there would be in urgent need of help. The results were analyzed using theories as normalization processes and labeling theory and on the basis of reality, strategy and the ideal. Keywords: Abused woman, substance abuse, addiction, social service support, social worker

Empowerment and anger: learning how to share ownership of the museum
No full textThe article explores the challenges of community involvement and of equal representation agendas in museums in a multicultural society. The aim is to contribute to an increased understanding of power struggles and controversies associated with community dialogue and shared authority approaches in museums. These topics are analyzed in relation to the colonial legacy of Western museums and to discourses of multiculturalism, representation and inclusion. Two recent controversial cases of community dialogue in the Museum of World Culture in Sweden are discussed: the project Advantage Göteborg, during which extensive battles over the right of interpretation took place, and the case of the painting Scène d’Amour by artist Louzla Darabi, which was taken off display after strong demands from members of the public. While such cases are difficult and challenging for a museum, the author argues that they are necessary triggers for institutional change

Ringing stones in Sweden in the past and present : some reflections
No full textThis paper addresses the archaeoacoustic subject of ringing rocks, chiefly from a Swedish perspective. Comprehensive and methodological studies on ringing stones in Sweden were not begun until the early 2000s, in the first instance by researchers at Uppsala University. An ongoing survey of ringing stones in Sweden carried out by the present author has thus far resulted in 41 such, indeed, timeless percussion instruments, as we might refer to them. This paper also discusses the use and function of ringing stones in both music-archaeological and ethno-musicological perspectives.</p
"När man befinner sig utanför sådana kategorier som perception, tid och rymd, då är ändlöshet det enda som finns" : En teologisk analys av Philip K. Dicks roman Motursvärlden.
No full textPhilip K. Dick was a seminal science fiction author with much interest in theological and philosophical questions. This essay is interested in what Dick’s novel Counter-Clock World expresses about two themes: “time and eternity” along with “omniscience”. The purpose is to come closer to an understanding of the theology expressed in the novel, in relation to the theology of Augustine and Eriugene, who are two of the theologians mentioned in the novel. In the analysis a hybrid text-centered method of hermeneutics is used with some regards to the authors point of view, a method inspired by professor of literature Torsten Pettersson. The result of the analysis shows that the resurrection described in the novel is central in the matter of time perception. Augustine’s presentism is clear. The characters have been part of eternity and God while being dead, which is related to Eriugene’s thought about the close relationship between the created and the uncreated. The contemplative knowledge of God is recurrent. The resurrected have received a part of God’s secret and by extension his omniscience. The head character, the anarch Thomas Peak, is a clear example of this. Moreover, Augustine’s thought of the divine gaze is recurrent. The essay argues that academic scholars can find inspiration from fiction. Fiction authors have the possibility to explore theological questions in a way that scholars may have a hard time doing. This because there are neither requirements for coherence in fiction nor a need for responsibility in terms of the consequences of the concepts being explored. This is a creativity that can give fuel to a stagnated theology.
