    "Keep Smiling!": Time, Functionality and Intimacy in Spotify’s Featured Playlists2017In: Cultural Analysis, ISSN 2572-0643, E-ISSN 1537-7873, Vol. 16Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    As one of the world’s largest online music providers, the streaming service Spotify has a profound capacity to shape everyday realities through digital technology. This article explores how both openness and control are embedded in Spotify’s ways of delivering recommended playlists to users. After analyzing over 500 pre-designed playlists, we argue that Spotify’s music recommendations evoke individual freedoms and flexibilities, at the same time as they prescribe normative temporalities, neoliberal subjectivities, functional approaches to music, and monetizations of intimacy. Such tensions between freedom and control speak of the dual inheritance of the digital and its potential to both liberate and constrain human action.

    The Dyophysite Nature of the Internet: Negotiating Authorities within Institutionalized Christianity2017In: Cultural Analysis, ISSN 2572-0643, E-ISSN 1537-7873, Vol. 16, no 1, p. 83-100Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Is the internet a means for individual empowerment and collective upheaval against oppressive powers, or is it a tool to monitor and control people in the hands of authoritarian rulers? This article addresses the “dyophysite” or what can be called the double nature of internet. That is a dualism that goes back to the origin of internet with its roots simultaneously in American West coast counterculture and the cold war militarism of the 1960s. Within the Christian community, this dualism plays out as the internet is viewed in a paradoxical matter. Even as cyberspace equips evangelicals to connect with other believers, it can introduce Christians to pagan ideas, tempting misbehavior and destructive communities.

    Practice and Knowledge “Over There” and “Here”: A Cultural Analysis of How Mobile Highly Skilled Professionals Create Meaning With Comparison as a Tool2020In: Cultural Analysis, ISSN 2572-0643, E-ISSN 1537-7873, Vol. 18, no 1, p. 5-21Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Comparison is a way to make sense of reality, e.g., by contrasting places, “cultures,” or practic- es. It may present different degrees of something, create a dichotomy, and imply a hierarchy of values. The article analyzes how comparison as a tool is used by highly skilled Swedish profes- sionals when they talk about participating in international work mobility and their subsequent return to Sweden. Empirically, the analysis is based on 46 interviews with Swedish medical professionals and 30 interviews with scholars in Swedish Humanities.
