    Arv, miljö eller både och?: En kritisk realistisk kritik av heritabilitetsmetodiken2022In: Sociologisk forskning, ISSN 0038-0342, E-ISSN 2002-066X, Vol. 59, no 1–2, p. 127-148Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    With heritability methodology researchers using twin studies, and during recent year also DNA studies, have claimed that heredity plays a crucial role in explaining social outcomes. Explaining what causes social outcomes is a strive to explain how reality is constituted, and is thus an ontological question. The purpose of this article is to examine the unspoken ontological assumptions in heritability studies from a critical realistic perspective. First I’ll explain the basics of the heritability methodology, the twin methodology and DNA studies that measure heritability, then I’ll describe the previous criticism of these studies. Thereafter I’ll argue that the heritability studies do not examine the actual causes of social events, but rather that the measures are driven by other underlying mechanisms, which thus are the ones possessing the generative power to influence social outcomes. Against this background, I argue that the studies commit the fallacy of misplaced concreteness and the epistemic fallacy. In conclusion, I argue that concrete social phenomena should be understood as an interplay between different generative mechanisms.

    Att förhålla sig till ändligheten i livet och strategier för "framgångsrikt döende"2020In: Sociologisk forskning, ISSN 0038-0342, E-ISSN 2002-066X, Vol. 57, no 3-4, p. 271-287Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Denna artikel undersöker hur äldre människor förhåller sig till livets ändlighet. Till skillnad från många andra liknande studier fokuserar denna studie på äldre människor utanför palliativ vård och äldreboenden, som fortfarande är aktiva och engagerade i samhället. När och på vilka sätt blir livets ändlighet uppenbar för dem i deras vardag? Vilka strategier använder de för att hantera medvetenheten om livets ändlighet? Under 2015 samlades data in via sex fokusgruppstillfällen med personer i åldrarna 69–90 år. Resultaten visar att livets ändlighet var något som alla respondenter förhöll sig till så gott som dagligen och utifrån flera dimensioner. I de flesta fall var det något de hade ambivalenta känslor inför. Många var rädda inför ovissheten i framtiden, men ibland gjorde medvetenheten om livets ändlighet samtidigt nuet mer värdefullt. Döden var närvarande i respondenternas vardag, som något som skulle skjutas upp, planeras och administreras genom den sorts självdisciplinerande tekniker som är betydelsefulla för ”framgångsrikt åldrande”. Jag drar därför slutsatsen att dessa normer och tekniker för framgångsrikt åldrande har expanderat till att även bli normer och tekniker för framgångsrik döende.

    Pensionärsjävlar – revolt mot eller ett upprepande av negativa ålderskoder?2013In: Sociologisk forskning, ISSN 0038-0342, E-ISSN 2002-066X, Vol. 50, no 3/4, p. 247-266Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Old bastard – rebellion against or a repetition of negative age codes?

    In contemporary media and scientific contexts, it has become increasingly popular to launch today’s elderly as different from previous generations of older people, especially emphasized is that today’s elderly will have more attitude and set higher demands on society. The TVseries Pensionärsjävlar is based on this idea of today’s and tomorrow’s elderly as different and more rebellious than previous generations. The purpose of this article is to analyze and discuss how age and age codes are used as a prerequisite for, but also are challenged in the series. The result shows that chronological age is almost absent in the series, instead age coding is performed by physical attributes and verbal acts. Most common attributes are those connected to decreased functionality, such as walker, wheelchair, walking stick etcetera. The most common taboo joked about is sexuality, and other common themes are decreased functionality, child/youth- like behavior and traffic. In the article I discuss how these themes and attributes are negotiated in relation to age.

    Successful dying. Later life strategics to cope with the finiteness of life [Att förhålla sig till andligheten i livet och strategier för "framgångsrikt döende"]2020In: Sociologisk forskning, ISSN 0038-0342, E-ISSN 2002-066X, Vol. 57, no 3-4, p. 271-287Article, review/survey (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article aims to explore how older people relate to the finiteness of life. Unlike many other similar studies, this study focuses on older people outside palliative care and residential care, those who are still active and engaged in society. When, and in what ways do finiteness of life become apparent to them in their everyday lives? What strategies do they use to manage awareness of the finiteness of life? In 2015, data was collected via six focus group occasions with people aged 69-90. The result show that finiteness of life was something that all respondents were occupied with almost daily and in several ways. In most cases with ambiguity and even fear for the uncertainty of the future, but also with a feeling that the awareness of finitude made the present more valuable. Death was manifested in the respondents everyday lives, as something to be postponed, planned and administered by the types of self-disciplining techniques that are significant for successful ageing. I therefore conclude that these norms and techniques of suc-cessful ageing have expand into the field of ways of practice dying and thereby, become norms and techniques of successful dying. © 2020 Sociologisk Forskning.

    Abstract [en]

    Based on ethnographic fieldwork on scuba diving, this article explores the social homogeneity characterizing this specific sport activity regarding questions on how deviance is treated within a group and on what grounds. The consequences of the dangerous context on the Dyad (one is always diving with a “Buddie”) in which the activity is performed, is analysed with the help of Georg Simmel (1950) and Erving Goffman (1967). The loyalty of the diving partner (the Buddie) towards the “right attitude” which governs the activity may be turned against the scuba diver who does not adapt. The Buddie is transformed from a friend into an opponent, who, by spreading anecdotes or rumours, questions the character of the scuba diver, which eventually may exclude him or her from the activity. The article also discusses how the “right attitude” in scuba diving is related to the so-called predominant masculine identity (Connell 1995) in a Swedish context.

    Självet, rollerna och pågående koordinationer av mänskliga handlingar: Om att försöka se ’samhället’ som något annat än fängelse eller marionetteater2008In: Sociologisk forskning, ISSN 0038-0342, E-ISSN 2002-066X, Vol. 45, no 4, p. 24-45Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In the article it is argued that structural North-American role-sociology may be integrated with theories emphasizing ‘society’ as ongoing processes (f. ex. Giddens’ theory of structuration). This is possible if the concept of role is defined as a recurrence oriented to the action of others standing out as a regularity in a societal process. But this definition makes it necessary to in a fundamental way understand what kind of social being the role-actor is. This is done with the help of Hans Joas’ theory of creativity and Merleau-Pontys concept of ‘flesh’ arguing that Meads concept of the ‘I’ maybe understood as an embodied self-asserting I, which at least in reflexive modernity has the creative power to split Meads ‘me’ into a self-voiced subject-me and an other voiced object-me. The embodied I communicating with the subject-me may be viewed as that role-actor which is something else than the role played. But this kind of role-actor is making for new troubles because it is hard to understand how this kind of self is creating self-coherence by using Meads concept of ‘the generalized other’. This trouble is handled by using Alain Touraines concept of the ‘subject’ and arguing that the generalized other is dissolving in de-modernized modernity. In split modernity self-coherence may instead be created by what in the article is called the generalized subject. This concept means a kind of communicative future based evaluation, which has its base in the ‘subject’ opposing the split powers of both the instrumentality of markets and of life-worlds trying to create ‘fundamentalistic’ self-identities. This kind of self is communicative because it also must respect the other as ‘subject’. It exists only in the battle against the forces of the market or a community. It never constructs an ideal city or a higher type of individual. It creates and protects a clearing that is constantly being invaded, to use the words of the old Frenchman himself. Asa kind of test-case it is by the way in the article shown how Becks concept of individualization may be understood in a deeply social and role-sociological way.
