Stockholm exhibition 20092012
The book about Stockholm Exhibition is here. It describes what the exhibition is all about: ”A full scale laboratory for the global urban future. A temporary utopia that will produce real change and transform a segregated suburbia in Stockholm, Järva, into a model for global urban future.” The vision is to step from the modern…
Street corner culture in the suburbs of Sweden
Two current events have made us revisit the theme of street corner culture. One of them is the never-ending fireriots in Rosengård, the other is a recent gathering held with some of our younger informants.

Generation Noll koll 1
One thing Inculture wants to study deeper with ethnographic method is what we usually refer to as generation noll koll.

The shopping mall in the wild

a modern woman
Ask any woman if she considers herself to be a modern woman and few will say “no”. The other alternative is just not attractive. But what does it mean to be a modern woman? ”My baby is only 3 months old and I am starting to feel that urge to be free. Get out. Go to…
trends about consumers and ecological brands
This week Jonas and I will talk about what makes consumers buy ecological brands (or why they not buy) at Dagligvarutrender, Hotel Rival. Modern man is an aware being, this largely due to the information that is available everywhere. When awareness grows the demands for products and services also grows. The conscious human knows she…
