    Celebrating Diversity: Towards a Cosmopolitan Outlook2018 (ed. 1)Book (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    We live in a globalized world and identify ourselves as global citizens. Yet, globalization has desensitized us to the diversity we live in today and the social potentials it has for a better future. In the latest demographics, about 25% of the Swedish population today has already foreign roots. The aim of the studio is to embrace the sociocultural variations we live in and explore the potential in this diversity, sketching out new relations between globality and locality, diversity and solidarity, country and city, the real and the digital, the tribal and the communal. In other words: What sort of forms of life can be imagined beyond secularisation, by starting to invite the foreign(er) to take part? And what role can architecture play in developing these new forms of cultural co-existence when it starts to create platforms exploring the potential of an architecture directed towards new forms of cultural expressions, exchanges and dialogue of a common future? In our investigation of the domestic and the public sphere we took a detour to reinvest what the meaning and ethos of these notions can be, reinvesting them with controversial potential and intense meaning through the idea and mapping of the foreign: how migration fuels innovation; can initiate an idea of the cosmopolitan where cosmopolitanism is not staged in order to paralyze political action, but on the contrary, to understand that the contradictory logic at the heart of the cosmopolitan concept is permanent negotiation, and by enacting so opposes the conservative rhetoric’s of a clash of civilisations.

    Radical Swedes* Towards a Cosmo-Political Outlook: Studio: Celebrating Diversity. UMA School of Architecture2019In: Radical Swedes*: Studio: Celebrating Diversity. Towards a Cosmo-Political Outlook, Umeå: Umeå University , 2019, p. 10-39Chapter in book (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Speaking about Radical Sweden or Radical Swedes may sound like an oxymoron, but it is real. In the Swedish welfare state many people like to believe that all that counts is goodness in Sweden, while in fact this concept of Swedish goodness has denied the radicalization of its society; racism, the existence of antisemitism, islamophobia, even sexism; and that it’s social democracy’s global flagship is under threat due to the country’s ongoing Neo-liberalization and the rise of the far-right, against the backdrop of economic decline and arrival of migrants.

    And yet – against, and due to the troubling and complex background of a Radical Sweden – a new progressive radical responsibility of Radical Swedes starts to emerge thinking the climate, the economy, the common, humanity, living, work, nature and free-time otherwise. It has to do with a need and desire to recover and deepen democratic values, and to recognize and care for the social nucleus present in our societies; how a renewed idea of the common and private can be constructed towards a renewed idea of democratic and ecological imagination. It concerns a radical transformation of our global contemporary society as a whole; how through its paradoxical community’s; where we all have become foreigners – another Cosmo-Political reality can be thought and constructed. 

    The projects documented in this book make difference relate, foster the radical inconsistencies of possibility, situate an otherness of unexpected places, displacements, and interrelationship of people and things that in potential allow new relationships of citizenship to emerge. What the projects situate is a new beginning, or in other words concerns a radicality of ideas, of organizations and its articulations; is about an aesthetics performance that shifts the social, the economic and the political of our doing and thinking, now that the failure of Neo-liberalism has become apparent.
