The aim of the article is to explore trade unions’ use of Internet and social media in communicating with members and to understand membership in the digital era. A point of departure is that new forms of relationships between individuals and organizations are on the rise as our present societies become more digitalized, which has changed how citizens interact, mobilize, and organize. Digitalization has been discussed as a driving factor behind membership decline and disengagement, but also as an opportunity to revitalize the labor movement. Drawing on theories on social movements, interest groups, and civil society organizations the article adopts a multi-dimensional perspective that understands membership as participation, resource, representativeness, and identity. It presents results from a qualitative study of two Swedish trade unions. The empirical data consists of documentation from websites and social media complemented by interviews with employees with knowledge about the unions’ Internet and social media communication. The results show that Swedish unions do not seem to be adapting to new technologies, rather using them as opportunities for strengthening and reviving membership without re-formulating its premises.

Sociologisk Forskning bad fyra sociologer i Sverige att svara på några korta frågor om coronapandemin och vårt samhälles hantering av den. Deras tidigare forskning har på olika sätt berört olika frågor såsom socialmedicin och medicinsk kunskapsproduktion, sociala nätverks betydelse för smittspridning, samhällets hantering av kriser och risker, genusaspekter av samhällskriser samt dynamiken mellan expertis, politiker och medborgare i beslutsfattande och debatter kring frågor där expertkunskap är centralt. De fyra medverkande forskarna är Erna Danielsson, docent i sociologi vid Mittuniversitetet och föreståndare för Risk and Crisis Research Centre (RCR), som forskar om samhällets krishantering vid såväl vardagskriser som större händelser och specifikt genus och krishantering; Fredrik Liljeros, professor i sociologi vid Stockholms universitet, som genomförde sitt postdoktorprojekt på dåvarande Smittskyddsinstitutet tillsammans med nuvarande statsepidemiologen Anders Tegnell och i dag bedriver forskning om hur människors kontaktnätverk påverkar spridningsdynamik; Shai Mulinari, docent i sociologi vid Lunds universitet, som bedriver forskning om medicinsk kunskapsproduktion, läkemedelsindustrin, epidemiologi och folkhälsa; samt Linda Soneryd, professor i sociologi vid Göteborgs universitet, som forskat om miljörelaterade risker och kriser samt om hur demokrati och deltagande förstås i anslutning till expertfrågor.
社会学研究要求瑞典的四位社会学家回答几个关于冠状病毒大流行和我们社会对它的管理的简短问题。他们之前的研究以各种方式涉及各种问题，如社会医学和医学知识生产、社会网络对感染传播的重要性、社会对危机和风险的管理、社会危机的性别方面以及专家、政治家和公民在决策和辩论中对专家知识至关重要的问题的动态。四位参与的研究人员是瑞典中部大学社会学副教授、风险与危机研究中心主任Erna Danielsson，该中心研究日常危机和重大事件中的社会危机管理，特别是性别和危机管理；斯德哥尔摩大学社会学教授弗雷德里克·利杰罗斯（Fredrik Liljeros）与现任国家流行病学家安德斯·特格尼尔（Anders Tegnell）一起在当时的瑞典疾病控制研究所（Swedish Institute of Disease Control）进行了博士后项目，今天他对人们的接触网络如何影响传播动态进行了研究；隆德大学社会学副教授Shai Mulinari从事医学知识生产、制药行业、流行病学和公共卫生研究；哥德堡大学社会学教授Linda Soneryd研究了环境风险和危机，以及如何结合专家问题理解民主和参与。

The logics of capitalist temporality dominate western society today. Drawing on Barbara Adam’s work, we explore two important dimensions of this dominant temporality. Standardised and abstract clock time involves a detachment from seasons and the life-world, closely related to the commodification of time exemplified by expressions like ”time is money”. Many initiatives attempt to challenge the dominance of capitalist temporality, amongst which we present: (1) worker cooperatives that organize work and its temporality as alternatives to capitalism; and (2) timebanks where people exchange services with each other based on time rather than money. We investigate how these illustrative examples differ from the dominant capitalist temporality, and in what ways they depend on the same logic that they resist. The analysis shows that the initiatives divert from the dominant temporality in important aspects, but also reproduce it in other ways. Thereby, this article contributes to theorizing resistance in connection to time and temporality, and gives insights in the potential and elusiveness of constructive resistance to dominant temporality.

Time, power and resistance are all central sociological concepts, but only rarely have the intertwi- ning between all three been explored. Here the guest editors of the special issue of Sociologisk Forskning called ”Time, power and resistance” introduce five empirical research articles. The articles all investigate time and temporality in relation to forms of power, ranging from discursive power to dominant norms and state power. The resistances vary from organised, collective resistance to subtle and discreet forms of everyday and constructive resistance. Additionally, the guest editors point towards future avenues of research in the area and show sociologically interesting links between the three concepts.

Syftet med denna studie är att nå en djupare förståelse för rehabiliteringsprocessens ambition om tidig återgång i arbete och vad detta innebär för långtidssjukskrivna kvinnor. En diskursanalys, baserad på myndighetsmaterial och svaren på en öppen enkätfråga visar, hur makt och motstånd framträder i materialet och hur sjukskrivna görs till passiva mottagare av rehabilitering och/eller definieras som långsamma i relation till de normer som återfinns som del av rehabiliteringsprocessen. Mot detta gör de långtidssjukskrivna kvinnorna motstånd. Vi menar att det finns behov av en variation inom ramen för rehabiliteringsprocessen med större möjligheter för långsammare processer för dem vilka har behov av mer tid för att tillfriskna, det finns behov av att återgå i egen takt.
