Swedish Society.jpg

Welcome to the course Swedish Society and Everyday Life, 15 ECTS

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 reflection paper of 800 words on the readings for the missed lecture or seminar. Use the questions above as guidelines.

Welcome and Good Luck!

Seminar: Take a walk – Swedish Society on Micro Level

Annie Woube

Assignment 1

In preparation for the seminar, the assignment is to 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 emerge 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?

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

Assignment 2

Ella's 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 800 words 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.

Seminar: Pictures of traditions

Susanne Waldén

Assignment 3

In preparation for the seminar, the assignment is the following: In Sweden, as in other countries, traditions/holidays often show a national self-image connected to the past. In reality these images tell us more about the present in which the traditions are performed. 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, continuation and change, nature and culture, us and them etc.

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 SwedenLinks to an external site.

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 festivals and traditions?

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, us and them, continuation and change, 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 800 words (Times new roman 12 p, spacing 1½). Upload the completed assignment to Studium 5/3, 23.55 at the latest.

In preparation for conducting interviews, watch this video on how to make a semi-structure interview guide.

Assignment 4

To be done before the seminar on March 15:

Find 3 exchange students to interview about why they have chosen to take part in an educational exchange program to Sweden.
Prepare an interview guide where you ask the following questions:

Why did the exchange students take part in the exchange programme? Why did they choose Sweden? What are their perceptions of Sweden? How do they think the exchange will contribute to their future lives? What do they envision as a result? Why? Does the exchange period play a role in their visions of future, or are other things more important?

In what ways will the exchange will impact a) their lives, b) the labour market in their home countries, and 3) the transnational connection between Sweden and the exchange students home countries?

The interviews should be 10-12 minutes long, but longer is ok too. You may also pose follow-up questions that are not included above, if they seem relevant while you are interviewing.
Before you start interviewing: ask your interviewees whether you can record them. If this is ok, you can use the recorder on your cell phone. If not, take notes.
Remember ask your interviewees for their consent when you start the interview and after it is finished.
After the interviews:

Take some time to go through the material you have gathered. Look for common themes, or where the responses differ. Do an initial analysis by asking for example: why do they say what they say? Why are the responses similar/different? How do the answers link to the broader society?

During the seminar on March 15:

At the seminar, we will compare the material from the interviews and see if there are recurrent themes in what the interviewed students say about perceptions of Sweden, the global position of current Sweden, as well as their perceptions of the importance of being enrolled in an exchange programme for the future. How can the micro level, as manifested in the individual answers, be linked to the macro level of the global society?

We will also discuss interviewing as a method to gather knowledge. What kind of information do we get when we conduct interviews? What information is lacking? What other types of research methods are there? What was your experience of interviewing? Was there anything difficult or challenging?

After the seminar:

Write an essay of 800 words based on the findings from the interviews, and the discussions in class. What patterns and themes are there with regards to international students’ perceptions of Sweden, as well as their thoughts on the global position of Sweden today? Do the students perceive being enrolled in an exchange programme as an investment in the future, and if so, how?

Upload the assignment to the appropriate folder on Studium by Sunday 19/3 at 23:55.

Good luck!

Seminar: Experiences of Swedish society

Annie Woube

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 more upon your own 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 22/3 lecture. Active participation in the seminar/webinar is mandatory.

Reading

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).

Describe the context of your ‘case’. What happened? Where did it happen? Who were there?
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?
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 Sunday 26/3 at 23.55.

An example of advices from the web, life history interviewinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aydoQnZzBO0Links to an external site.

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.

Seminar: Engaged fatherhood

Annie Woube

Assignment 7

In preparation to the seminar, (not to be sent in):

1) Take a walk in the city or your neighborhood to a playground during daytime, such as in the Uppsala City Garden, Vasaparken, Pelle Svanslös parken.

Observe and document with details the play and interaction of fathers and children. Document or write down fieldnotes. Use the following model for observation:

Describe the large picture of the place with its buildings, streets, natural and build environment, and the actions happening between people, and between people and environment.
Describe the small, detailed, close-up character of both environment and actions: What are people doing? Who does what? What are they wearing, using? What does the interaction between fathers and children look like? What everyday activities are they engaged in?
Use your senses when you describe: what do you see, hear, smell, taste and feel?
Focus on stuff: what kind of stuff, who uses them, where and when?
Focus on people: different categories of people, their movement patterns, who has authority, what are they doing? What seems to be the norm? Are there deviations?
Focus on talk: who talks to whom, and how?

Focus on how fatherhood and masculinity are made, come to life, are conceptualized and articulated in the daily life of the playground. What do you interpret as 1) traits of fatherhood, 2) traits of masculinity, 3) practices of care in this setting?

Compare with your previous understanding and conceptions of fatherhood, masculinity and practices of care common to your home country or where you grew up; what similarities and differences do you find. Be reflexive about your understanding!

During the seminar, the documentations will be presented in smaller groups, and followed up with a discussion of how fatherhood, masculinity and practices of care appear and are shown in the setting of a playground in Sweden. What actions, ways of doing, appearing and engaging with children can be interpreted as doing masculinity, doing fatherhood and practicing work of care? In your understanding, are there cultural patterns of gender equality in the making on the playgrounds and in the photos? How and in what ways? Why and why not? Would the authors of the course literature agree, why and why not? We end the seminar by summarizing every group’s thoughts and analysis of the observations and documentations.

Slot 5 The Art of Ethnographic Presentations through making podcasts

3/5, room 6-0022, English Park

Workshop on making podcasts

Annie Woube

In preparation of the workshop:

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

2) 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.

3) 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 c) 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, and to form groups based on your ideas.

After the seminar, the group work begins with planning your ethnographical fieldwork about a cultural phenomena, and after initial group plans you conduct your fieldwork. Follow the specific instructions for the final assignment.

8-12/5 Group work on the Final Assignment: Ethnographical fieldwork, processing and thematizaton.

15-26/5 Group work on the Final Assignment: Interpretation, analysis of ethnographical fieldwork, and writing manuscript.
