AbstractThis article critically examines the basis for Swedish prevention strategies and policy documents concerning sexual risk‐taking, investigating in particular how risk‐taking is represented with respect to the group of middle‐aged, heterosexual individuals. These prevention strategies and policy documents seem to be built on an assumption that sexual relationships are limited to people having sex with individuals with the same sexual orientation, age, behaviour or drug use, an assumption that can be questioned. We have made a scoping review of existing research and examined Swedish national prevention strategies, analysing policy documents on sexual risk‐taking. The results demonstrate a lack of both research and interventions targeted at middle‐aged heterosexuals. We argue that research and interventions directed to heterosexuals have strong connections to fertility. Drawing on Loseke's theorization, the explanation might be that middle‐age sexual behaviour loses the "social problem game". The blind spots observed in research and policy can also be explained by an agreement in normativity between the different claims‐makers, such as interest groups, policy‐makers and politicians.

This article deals with the cultural parallelism between biological and cultural diversity as manifested in allotment garden areas in Malmö. Applying an historical perspective, we argue that the mobility of species is almost as old as human history. Whenever new species are introduced, as when cultural traits meet, differences may be welcomed and introduced in the already existing context, just as they may be shunned, hated and persecuted. Introducing new species may be an efficient way of colonizing land, as shown by Alfred W. Crosby. In an increasingly globalized world, people seem to bring with them their old plants, and they exchange varieties and species with each other. In a multicultural city like Malmö, this is practised among the many allotment gardeners from all over the world. Sometimes it enhances contact and integration, and sometimes cultural practices and species comes to symbolize difference, contact with the country of origin or even ethnic identity. The article starts with a general overview of the history of migration and migrating species. Then we introduce the reader to the ideas of biological and cultural diversity and the discursive parallels between them. After that, we present some of our empirical data from interviews with allotment gardeners of different ethnic origin all over Malmö. Finally, we critically discuss how cultural and biological diversity as sometimes different but sometimes closely connected sets of associations are used in official discourse on cultural and biological change. Malmö has a long history of multiculturalism. Already in medieval times, Malmö was a dynamic centre of fishing and trade for people from all over the Baltic region. Germans, Poles, Danes and Swedes met and handled economic, religious and political matters on the sandy beach in the growing city. Today, Malmö is one of the most multicultural cities in Sweden, which can easily be observed in parks and allotment gardens, where people of different origins engage in leisure activities or in small-scale ...

Artikeln handlar om en omvandling från industriområde till strövområde på en 60 ha plats 12 km sydost om Malmö i södra Sverige. Platsen heter Arriesjöns strövområde och är ett övergivet grustag mitt i jordbrukslandskapet. Vi presenterar en kort bakgrund och de möjligheter till utveckling och förändring som finns till framtidens konstruktion av natur för friluftsliv. Vi diskuterar också de hälsobringande aspekterna av friluftsliv, och hur dessa tar sig uttryck vid Arrie. Därutöver lyfter vi fram diskussionen om mångfald som ett hyllat postmodernt ideal både i naturen och kulturen. Skiftande ideal kan orsaka konflikter i planeringsprocessen. För att få kännedom om olika önskemål bedrivs så kallade samrådsprocesser. De sociala och politiska spänningarna kring området reflekterar ett föränderligt samhälles behov. Under den tidigare industrialismen, var detta område en enklav av industri i ett omgivande jordbrukslandskap. Idag är det snarare en enklav av "natur" i ett omgivande, industrialiserat jordbrukslandskap. När staden idag kommer närmare produceras på det lilla området inte längre industriprodukter eller bete, utan snarare en känsla av natur för de omkringboendes behov. ; This article deals with the process of change from industrial land to recreational area on a 60 ha piece of land 12 km southeast of Malmö, southern Sweden, called Lake Arrie. The area is an abandoned gravel quarry in the midst of an agricultural landscape. We present a short background and the current situation in Arrie, setting out to capture the tendencies of the contemporary construction of nature for outdoor recreation. We then move on to discuss the salutogenic aspects of outdoor recreation, and how these can be traced in the actual landscape at Arrie. Furthermore, we open the discussion on diversity as a cherished post-modern ideal both in nature and culture. Different interests and ideologies may cause conflicts in the planning process. To capture the multitude of voices emanating among stakeholders, the process to extract local ...

In The Democratic Contradictions of Multiculturalism, Jens-Martin Eriksen and Frederik Stjernfelt elaborate on the concept of "culturalism." In Telos 163 (Summer 2013), Eriksen continues to analyze its intricacies under the heading "Culturalism: When the Culture becomes Political Ideology."2 Horizontal class divisions are out, vertical cultural barriers are in. Seemingly, culture has squeezed out all other concepts. The present essay shall broaden this discussion by asking the question: What is the relation between the Counter-Enlightenment of the early nineteenth century and today's culturalism?

Here, Adamson et al claim that multiculturalism is inherently inimical to the enlightenment tradition of the left, implicated instead in the conservative, early romanticism of Johann Herder that multiculturalism fulfills all the criteria of a conservative ideology. Its exclusive focus on groups and the concomitance of the absent individual makes it, moreover, more radical than Herder's timid conservatism, in which the individual as a concrete being in time and space is central. Multiculturalism--ie, a multitude of cultures--implies that the entity expected to shine and give color is culture. No less fierce form of conservatism would manage to idealize the ethnic community and yet turn a blind eye to its real members. Save for defending a generous immigration policy, multiculturalism has little in common with leftist views. Analytically, multiculturalism constitutes a pronounced form of conservatism. This illiberalism of multiculturalism the priority of group and tradition over individual rights has long been noted. Adapted from the source document.
