About the course

The course will provide broad insights into Swedish culture and everyday life by examining areas like quotidian habits, modernity, ethnicity, work-place culture, youth culture and the cultural impact of globalization and new economies.

The aim of the course is to introduce an ethnological analysis and understanding of Swedish society, past and present. The course deals with aspects of cultural and historical change from peasant society through modernity to contemporary society. Images of Swedishness, family and gender, cultural heritage and the impact of globalization are central themes in the course. All lectures and course materials are in English.

 

On completion of the course, the student is expected to possess knowledge of:

  • Ethnological research, methods and perspectives on Swedish society and culture
  • The cultural context of modern and societal change
  • Folk tradition and social organisation in early modern Swedish society
  • The development of the Swedish welfare state
  • Debates and issues in contemporary Sweden

 

Lectures and seminars

The instruction consists of lectures, seminars based on readings as well as assignments and excursions. All instruction and literature are in English.

 

The course is structured according to a number of themes. Most of the themes will be introduced by a lecture, followed by a seminar (variations in the schedule may occur). Lectures will relate thematically to the course literature in order to place it in a broader context.

 

Attendance requirements

All lectures and seminars are compulsory and absence requires supplementary assignments.

 

Preparations for seminars

Read the texts. Try to identify the common theme that the authors address. In what different ways have they chosen to approach the theme? What are their arguments? On what kind of data do they rely? Do you find their analyses agreeable? In what way do the articles help you understand your experiences of everyday life in Sweden?

Absence from seminars requires a supplementary assignment to be submitted at Studium under Assignments / Supplementary assignments. The assignment is to write a three pages reflection paper on the seminar-articles. Use the questions above as guidelines.

 

Welcome and Good Luck!

27/1 Seminar: Take a walk – Swedish Society on Micro Level

Nadia Lovell

Assignment 1

Take a walk in the city or your neighbourhood. Use your mobile camera to document traces, places, images and issues that particularly catch your interest. Focus on how different notions of Swedishness are conceptualized and articulated in the daily life of the city.

Select five images to create a visual tour of your walk, in order to guide somebody else through it.

Which comments would you offer at each location to the person you would be guiding? What would you like her/him to appreciate, understand, or consider about the place, the trace or the image? What kind of presences or absences does it evoke? Compare with your own city or neighbourhood, where you grew up; what contrasts do you find. Be reflexive about your understanding!

During the seminar the tours will be staged in smaller groups, where you can take your classmates on the visual tour. Notice what comments and associations you get from different people in your group. Are there different kinds of conversations around the images? . Write a short text (500 words) to describe your pictures, your selection and choice of focus. Do they affect your understanding of the images and which associations they can give at hand? Upload it in Studium, under the tab Assignments

We end the seminar by summarizing every group’s thoughts and analysis of the tours.

Assignment 2

Ellas part of the course deals with the transformation of society. Texts, lectures and ethnographies about cultures can have different perspectives on the nature of change and of peoples respond and activities regarding societal changes. This is indeed the case also in this part of the course. Write two pages in which you use examples from the syllabus and the lectures which presents social change as radical, harsh and dramatic on one hand, and other examples that present change as not very dramatic, driven by cultural continuity and rationality.

3/3 Seminar: Pictures of traditions

Susanne Waldén
e-mail: Susanne.Walden@etnologi.uu.se

Room: 6-0022

At the seminar you will discuss and compare your chosen traditions. What lessons about life in contemporary Sweden can be learnt from studying presentations of folklore and traditions?  

 

Assignment 3

In Sweden it is common to understand folklore as remnants from bygone days, thus of little relevance in today’s Sweden, generally understood as one of the most modern countries in the world. When folklore is taken into account it is as “old traditions”, i.e. in connection to calendar rituals and folk beliefs about “beings” or deities.

In this assignment a specific genre of self-presentation is the object of study: “Swedish traditions presented to foreigners”. This is a genre where a number of important cultural distinctions are made, such as between old and modern, belief and science, continuation and change, faith and rationality. A common mode is distanced self-irony, as when a message between the lines is “see how traditional and old-fashioned manners and customs are still very much alive in this presumably supermodern country!”

Read the introduction to the book Swedish traditions, a presentation of Swedish holidays. Look through the rest of the book and choose an (one) entry/holiday/festival to analyse. Search the internet for other presentations of your chosen holiday in a foreign language. A good start is: Swedish traditions all year around | Visit Sweden

 

The written assignment

Briefly describe the tradition/festival you have chosen (text, picture(s).

Answer the following questions:

1)What kind of knowledge is presented? In what terms? From which perspective?

2) How and in what terms is the tradition explained and commented?

3) What kind of Swedish self-image is presented?

4) Which distinctions are made explicitly and implicitly, between the lines, in terms of old and modern, belief and science, continuation and change, faith and rationality, nature and culture.

5) What mode(s) and rhetorical figures characterize the entries: seriousness, distance, closeness, irony, fun…?

6) What does your chosen tradition tell us about today´s society?

 

Reflect over your findings in the light of the lecture and obligatory reading to slot 3, as listed above.

 

The text should cover approximately 2 pages (Times new roman 12 p, spacing 1½). Upload the completed assignment to Studium 27/2, 23.55 at the latest.

https://uu-se.zoom.us/j/677751746

 

Assignment 4

Find 2–3 people to interview about their perceptions of the future. The interviews can be rather short, 10–20 minutes. If your interviewees allow you to record them, you can use the recorder on your cell phone, otherwise take notes.

What do they talk about? What do they think will happen in the future? What will be shaping it and how? Does climate change play a role in their visions of future, or are other things more important? What are the similarities and differences between their perceptions and those you know from your own previous experiences?

Upload the assignment to the appropriate folder in Studium by Sunday 14/3 at 15.00. During the seminar, we will be comparing your interviews to see if there are recurrent themes in them, and what they might say about current Swedish culture.

31/3 Seminar Engaged ethnography in vulnerable contexts

Nadia Lovell

 

Assignment 5

One of Hylland Eriksen’s arguments is that “anthropologists should extend an open invitation to foreign anthropologists to do research on our society and participate in public debates about it”, as part of the engaged anthropology-approach. On this occasion, we would like you to reflect upon your experiences of the Swedish society. The roles are, in a sense, reversed: you are the ones who are supposed to teach us what Sweden is.

 

Further instructions will be provided at the 24/3 lecture. Active participation in the seminar/webinar is mandatory.

 

Writing assignment

Reflect upon one experience, situation or pattern of behaviour in Sweden, that have struck you as frustrating or otherwise problematic. You may choose a personal experience, a situation you have observed, or a case that you have read about or watched in the media. (Remember that no situation is too trivial for an ethnologist, but you might also choose a public event if you do not want to be personal).

 

  1. Describe the context of your ‘case’. What happened? Where did it happen? Who were there?
  2. Describe what emotions this triggered in you and try to reflect upon why you reacts/reacted in this way.
  3. Discuss this in relation to a larger context. How can your case be explained? Start with your own perspective: what are your personal explanation to why you think this happened/happens? Move on and try to imagine it from the others perspective: How do you think they would explain the same situation? Finally, adopt a birds-eye perspective: Do you think your case is unique or does it reflect a broader pattern or structure?
  4. Discuss your ‘case’ in relation to the literature. What would be needed in order to deepen your analysis, if we take the literature seriously?

 

Write a paper no longer than 600 words and submit it at Studium the 29th of April, 9:00 latest.

Assignment 6

  • Read the literature and search for information and small advice on the web about how to conduct a life history interview.
  • Make a life history interview with a person who has immigrated to the place where she or lives today. Because of the situation with a dispersed student group, you can choose between three alternatives. The best is if the (1) interviewee is living in Sweden, or (2) living abroad with Swedish heritage, or is just (3) a person being an immigrant born in another country. You can conduct the interview IRL or via telephone/the web (always the best if you can see each other). Record it.

 

Track the interviewees’ life trajectory. Ask about subjects such as childhood, teenage, family relations, circumstances that affected the decision to migrate and about the settlement, inclusion, exclusion and about belonging. To produce good ethnography: ask open questions, follow up with questions like when…, how…, who…, what… to catch concrete places, times, situations, interactions, feelings, reactions. Be present in the moment: give room and time for the interviewee, practice the art of being silent, and do not talk too much.

 

  • After completed interview. Make an oral 15 minutes presentation of the interview at the group seminar. Tell about the interviewee’s story briefly. Be analytical about:

Important, situations, turning points and morals.

How the story was told in the light of the present.

How the interviewee positioned her- or himself, and in relation to what?

How the present context (the life, the situation, the world today) is perceived in the light of the life history. (What does the context mean, had it been different in another place?)

What you learned from the interview about migration and belonging.

Reflections about your shortcomings, strengths and what appeared up as the most valuable advices/tips/insights from your research on the web or from the literature.

  • The group writes down and summarizes their best insights about migration and belonging, and their most valuable advice for a life history interviewer. And then you submit the document to Studium.

 

 

 

Slot 5 The Art of Ethnographic Presentations

 

21/4 Work shop – The task

Mirko Pasquini

We present and discuss our pod ideas.

 

Before the workshop

1 Watch Katarina Graffman’s recorded lecture Popular Description. You find it at Studentportalen under Course Information/Lectures/Popular Description.

 

2 Summarize for yourself experiences of the course so far: your assignments, presentations, the lectures, and most importantly, the literature.  

 

3 Start with working on an idea for the theme of your pod about Sweden. Try to narrow it down to a main angle or approach that will be the red thread of your presentation. It might be a question, a problem, a metaphor, a symbol/symbolic word, an overarching theme, etc. Preferably something that will contain complexity, contradiction, something enigmatic (as a kind of riddle for you) to explore and dig deeper into. A clear and limited theme will help you hold your pod together and foster your creativity.

 

4 Prepare a five minute presentation of your idea. Describe a) the theme, b) in what ways it has emic dimensions (descriptions of and experiences and phenomenon in Sweden and Swedes) and 3) etic dimensions (your discussion, understanding and analysis, problematizing, etc.). Write notes that you can use when presenting at the workshop, and use as a backdrop when revising your idea after the seminar.

 

The workshop

Join the workshop, present your idea and discuss the other students' ideas in class.  The aim is to receive and provide feedback about the pods.

 

 

 

28/4 Popular ethnographic descriptions/presentations

Mirko Pasquini

Follow-up on previous work shop

1. Following last week's workshop, revise your idea and submit a synopsis of your podcast in Studium, on Wednseday 26/04 before 12.00, approximately 500-800 words,

The synopsis of the pod: It must be in the shape of a selling point or elevator pitch. Search the web, YouTube for example, for Elevator Pitch and Selling Point. Write your synopsis as a presentation to a broadcast company where you are trying to make them interested of your pod idea.

*** The paper must include, separately to the text, a preliminary list of the references (literature/articles/etc.) from the course you want to use.

Submit the synopsis in Studium on April 26  at 12:00

 

5/5 Script drafts discussion and coaching

Nadia Lovell and Mirko Pasquini

We will discuss your script drafts. The scripts have to be written in a language easy to understand, as well as descriptions and interpretations, etc. But because this is also an examination, you have to use endnotes where you relate to the literature and perspectives… These endnotes will never be referred to in the pod, but have to be there and developed in the script.
