Abstract [en]

This introduction to a special issue on "Intersectional Analysis of Risk" and its contributors explores the development and current trends in intersectional risk analysis over the past two decades. Using Scopus, 778 publications between 2003 and 2022 were identified across social sciences, humanities, psychology, health, and arts. VOSviewer was employed to analyse these publications and identify trends and themes. The evolution of intersectional risk analysis shows its progression from HIV studies to encompass new areas such as climate change and environmental justice. By showcasing how intersectional perspectives and risk research have converged over time and how more and more research areas are incorporating intersectional risk analysis, this introduction hopes to inspire readers to delve into the articles in this special issue and continue developing intersectional risk analysis.

Abstract [en]

This paper maps a current trend in risk research, namely intersectional analysis of risk. In the last decades the concept of risk has spread into almost all kinds of societal domains. The original focus on technical and environmental risks has transferred to areas such as health, crime, regulation, social inequality, public and social policy, and global risk as well as the management of risks in everyday life and intimate relationships. Scientific advances and the global media have together created a long string of alarms about risks of different magnitude: from more recent the Covid 19 pandemic, to terrorist threats. The distribution and impact of these risks are not equal, instead they tend to follow and reinforce already existing structural inequalities. In the wake of this development we have seen a growing body of feminist and intersectional approaches in the study of risk. The two perspectives informs each other: On the one hand, the  intersectional perspective advance risk research by clarifying how new complexities in the reproduction of social inequalities brought about by globalization and the intersections between social class, gender, ethnicity, and other social categorisations, are connected to the production of risks. Risk research, on the other hand, inform intersectional analysis by clarifying the mechanisms in risk governance that are reproducing old inequalities (i.e., class and gender) and producing new inequalities.  Through a systematic literature review, this paper aims to map insights and viewpoints from scholars regarding intersectional analyses of risks associated with inequality on an individual, group or community level, including analyses of individual perception and behaviour, policy, mass media and discourses.

Abstract [sv]

Utvärderingen av länsstyrelsens interna krisledningsarbete av Covid-19 pandemin under perioden mars till augusti 2020 visar att stora delar av arbetet fungerade bra, men att det också finns ett antal utmaningar där främst enkätsvaren och intervjuerna visar på förhållanden som behöver ses över inför liknande situationer. Arbetet i staben verkar ha fungerat bra. De största problemen som tas upp är 1)balansen mellan det ordinarie arbetet och stabsarbetet, 2) otydligheten mellan stab och ledning 3) oron inför stabsarbetet bland dem som tidigare inte arbetat i stab, samt 4) behovet av utbildning för att sitta i stab. Vi ser också att det finns ett mer strukturellt problem med ”ledningsmodellen i svensk förvaltning”. Ser vi till upplevelserna kring arbetets utförande lyfts flera förbättringsområden fram. Främst gäller detta den upplevda stressen, den initiala upplevelsen av brist på kompetens och utbildning samt den upplevda frånvaron av uppskattning för utfört arbete. Vidare finns även en upplevelse att den kritik och feedback som lyfts fram, särskilt initialt, inte alltid har tagits tillvara. Gällande stabsarbetet lyfts brist på erfarenhet och kompetens av att arbeta i stab fram. Flera uttrycker en initial osäkerhet vad som förväntades och hur uppdraget skulle utföras. Samverkan mellan stab och ledning är ytterligare ett problem som lyfts fram. Dessa brister är inte ovanliga vid en kris. De problem som lyfts fram upplevs ha påverkat det interna arbetet och därmed även utförandet av det uppdrag länsstyrelsen har. I några fall lyfter respondenterna fram att problemen till viss del åtgärdats under arbetets gång, men att länsstyrelsen behöver se över vissa delar i det interna arbetet vad gäller hur uppdraget kring pandemin utförts. Vidare framkommer att kunskapsnivåerna varierat både inom och mellan de olika frågorna som tagits upp i enkäten. Det är dock det viktigt att betona att det finns flera områden där svaren skiljer sig stort.

Abstract [en]

A pandemic is a crisis and as such, in many ways, an entirely new situation.It is a situation in which there are scientific as well as societal uncertainties and where the routines of everyday life are overturned.The Covid-19 pandemic has made visible already established social structures and inequalities, but it has also exacerbated existing power relations and vulnerabilities.In this article, we introduce the contributions to the special issue of Sociologisk Forskning on how society and people's lives have been affected by the corona crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic. We also give an overview of some of the themes that are picked up by sociologists and social scientists internationally as well as nationally in Sweden, when trying to make sense of the meaning and effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract [en]

The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic—in terms of climate, economy and social aspects—cannot yet be fully assessed, but we can already see how the pandemic is intensifying already existing socio-economic inequalities. This applies to different population groups, particularly the elderly. In this article, our goal is to identify the linguistic constructions of elderly citizens in Swedish mass media coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 from a sociological and corpus linguistics perspective. More specifically, our aim is to explore the discursive formations of the elderly in Swedish media during the pandemic and how these formations relate to risk as well as the discursive constructions of in-and out-groups. Drawing on corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS), inspired by discourse–historical analysis (DHA), we examine the media coverage of COVID-19 by three Swedish newspapers published during 2020: Aftonbladet, a national tabloid; Svenska Dagbladet, a national morning newspaper; and Dalademokraten, a regional morning newspaper. In this article, the news articles and their messages are considered performative to the extent that—for example, at the same time as a story is expressed—the elderly are at risk of becoming seriously ill due to COVID-19; moreover, a position of vulnerability for the elderly is simultaneously created. The result reveals that the elderly were constructed as an at-risk group, while visitors, personnel and nursing homes were constructed as being risky or a threat to the elderly.
