  Motstandens former er utallige, de finnes overalt og setter ulike stemmer og perspektiver i verk. Imidlertid og paradoksalt nok kan det virke som om noen av de mest høylytte stemmene i vår tid utbrer seg i en motstand mot truede verdier, som demokrati, likestilling, integrasjon og mangfold. Motstandsbegrepet er uten tvil presset på en rekke fronter. Samtidig synes vår egen tid å etterlyse forståelse av hva motstand er. Begrepet må analyseres og reartikuleres. Vi oppsøker derfor ulike motstandsformer, ikke primært på gater og torg, men der hvor de diskuteres og utspiller seg i medier som kunst, litteratur, film, poesi og filosofi, hvor motstand fremstår mer som en prosess og en undersøkelse enn et entydig fenomen. Vi anser motstand som noe som er i utvikling, en «bliven» og som fremmes og utforskes snarere enn å være en ferdig form man trer inn i. Den tverrfaglige antologien Motstandens former forsøker å delta i en bevegelse hvor motstandsbegrepet så å si oppfinnes og gjennomreflekteres på nye måter. Av teoretikere som danner rammen for våre tekster finner vi blant andre Hannah Arendt, Roland Barthes, Walter Benjamin, Jonna Bornemark, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Miranda Fricker, Félix Guattari, Arne Næss, og Gayatri C. Spivak. Disse og mange flere tenkere er berørt i boken.

  ABSTRACT Metaphors play a significant role in how cancer is experienced and discussed. This study delves into the utilization of metaphors by women bloggers grappling with colorectal and gynecological cancers. By focusing on cancer types less represented in mainstream media, we aim to shed light on cancer cultures associated with body areas often considered taboo. Our findings reveal that widely rec- ognized expressions and stories about cancer, such as the metaphors of battle and narratives promoting optimism and heroism in the face of illness, are deeply ingrained. However, a notable discovery is the prevalence of personification alongside these conventional expressions. Personifying cancer endows it with human characteristics, providing an outlet for bloggers to express their fear and frustration, including articulating feelings of sadness and anger, diverging from narratives centered on heroism and positive thinking. Furthermore, our analysis reveals a significant emphasis on death, underscoring that despite advancements in treatment, bloggers still perceive cancer as highly lethal. Personification can serve both detrimental and therapeutic purposes for bloggers and for societal perceptions of cancer survivorship, both reinforcing and opposing dominant Western discourses sur- rounding the illness. These findings enrich our understanding of cognitive and cultural tools used to describe cancer within contemporary Western society.

  Døden og dødsleiet er et sentralt motiv i kunst og litteratur. For den allmenne leseren, men også for helsepersonell og forskere, kan litterære fortellinger bidra til økt forståelse for det å leve med sykdom, være døende og dødsleiet. Hensikten med denne artikkelen er å undersøke hvordan dødsleiet fremstilles i de tre norske romanene Selveiersanger (2021) av Marianne Marthinsen, Mor om natten av Niels Fredrik Dahl (2017) og Nåde av Linn Ullmann (2002). Vår lesning kan karakteriseres som fenomenologisk og erfaringsnær. Det innebærer at lesningen er preget av hva romanene vekker i oss. De tre romanene synliggjør hvordan et dødsleie alltid inngår i en større livsfortelling. Videre utfordrer de tre fortellingene kulturelle idealer om den fredfulle døden og forestillinger om forsoning og tilgivelse. Skjønnlitteraturen treffer og utfordrer antagelser om døden og dødsleiet på andre måter enn helsepolitiske målsettinger og helsefaglige idealer og retningslinjer.

  Background The empirical literature on the lived experience of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is limited, divergent, and largely focused on the experiences of procedures, (adverse) effects, information provision, or decision-making. Aims This study aimed to investigate aspects related to the lived experience and meaning-making of people who have had ECT. Method In-depth interviews with 21 women (21–65 years old) were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Findings A subgroup of nine participants described more negative experiences with ECT. A common factor for these participants was the experience of trauma that remained under-treated. The superordinate themes identified were a lack of trauma-based and recovery-oriented treatment. The rest of the sample (12) expressed more positive experiences with ECT. Conclusions This study suggests that exploring more broadly the impacts of ECT at the long term offers insights that can help design more person-centered services aligned to the needs of the treatment recipients. Educational modules for mental health care staff should include, besides knowledge on the methods’ effectiveness, additional evidence about treatment recipients’ subjective concerns and the relevance of trauma and recovery-oriented care models.

  Education has been described as and considered as a remedy or a treatment for the insecurity experienced by many young people today. To recognize mental health problems and to seek treatment is the subject of many of today’s research, analyses and academic debates on education. In this article, however, we will analyze, clarify and discuss how medicalized metaphors contribute to both an understanding and a reinforcing of what we call an “autoimmune reaction”. We explore how the meaning and use of the concepts of “immunity” and “autoimmunity” in the field of philosophy of education present a new understanding of medicalized metaphors, as well as a philosophy of autoimmunity, partly based on Derrida and his analysis of “inflammatory” democracies. We will nuance and offer new perspectives and concepts with which to think, in order to understand the existing dichotomy between normality and abnormal/pathology, health and illness in educational philosophy today.

  Background/Aim: Sarcoma patients’ experiences of their health-related quality of life and late effects following particle therapy are sparse. Such knowledge is essential to optimize treatment compliance and follow-up care related to this rapidly developing, but still centralized treatment modality. Patients and Methods: This qualitative study has an explorative design and applies a phenomenological and hermeneutical approach based on semi-structured interviews with 12 bone sarcoma patients who had undergone particle therapy abroad. The data were interpreted using thematic analysis. Results: Several of the participants called for more information about how the treatment would be carried out, its acute side effects and late complications. Most participants had positive experiences from the treatment and their stay abroad, but several struggled with late effects and other challenges. Themes that emerged from the analysis were “importance of being prepared”, “treatment and stay abroad”, “basically healthy, but with health problems and challenges”. Conclusion: Oncologists who inform and refer patients to particle therapy abroad must have sufficient experience of this treatment modality, prognoses, acute side effects, and late complications. Findings derived from this study may improve treatment preparation and compliance, enhance understanding of individual patient challenges to reduce stress and worry, and lead to better follow-up care and consequently quality of life of this selected group of bone sarcoma patients.

  In the era of evidence-based medicine, surprisingly little attention is given to the practice of evidence-based communication skills and strategies to provide the best and most efficient patient care, perhaps due to the infinitely complex nature of clinical communication. Multiple models for ‘best practice’ exist, but they tend to focus on what skills and strategies to use, paying less attention to how they should be used in which contexts and situations for best effects [1]. Disentangling the complexities of effective clinical communication would therefore require insights from other disciplines outside medicine, including their theoretical models, empirical knowledge, and research methods, concerning the study of human communication and interaction, as well as medical, ethical, legal, philosophical, existential, cultural, and organizational perspectives. Although several disciplines study clinical communication, this is often done in isolation, without integrating efforts beyond a few selected disciplines, e.g., medicine, linguistics, or social psychology [[1], [2], [3], [4]]. Given the multiple levels of complexity in clinical communication research, we need to move beyond this fragmented approach to answer questions about what works, for what reasons, and in which contexts. These Association Pages aim to provide insights to move forward towards interdisciplinary research of clinical communication. As a primer to help build bridges across disciplines, we have asked experts from medicine, cognitive neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, linguistics, medical ethics, and educational sciences these two questions: “What fascinates you about clinical communication?” and “Which methodological tools do you tend to use to study it?“. We have summarized the responses below and provided a suggestion for how these different experts may work together in an interdisciplinary effort to generate new and needed knowledge of what is effective clinical communication, how it works and why, which can be translated into clinical practice and training.

  Background: In this paper, we explore the subjective experiences of a group intervention in creative writing (CW) for young adults being treated for psychosis. Method: A qualitative and exploratory design was applied. Five out of eight patients who were offered a course in CW with two-hour weekly sessions for 12 weeks took part in this study. The five participants who followed through were interviewed after project termination. Systematic text condensation was applied to the transcribed interviews. Results: The analysis revealed three overarching themes: a) the group was valued as a creative community, b) there was safety in the structured yet flexible framing of the course, c) the participants experienced creative freedom that enabled a feeling of mastery. Conclusion: CW was well conceived. The feelings of connectedness and mastery were prominent. The participants experienced growth on several levels. Our findings support previous work on arts therapy as a means to recovery.

  In this paper, we explore how existential aspects of being diagnosed and living with cancer are shared in stories that are publicly communicated online. Through a narrative analysis of online texts and blogs, we explore how people deal with their cancer experiences, how cultural norms about illness are expressed in their stories and why they write and publish their stories online. We found that the writers described cancer diagnosis as a defining moment in their lives. They portrayed it as a crisis that was followed by unpredictability, doubt, grief and loss, fitting with the term ‘existential uncertainty’. Writing and sharing their stories online, connecting with others and staying positive were ways of dealing with this uncertainty. These naturally occurring data offer insights into phenomena that are not easily accessed in a clinical setting; moreover, they provide unique insights into the cultural norms in which online illness narratives are embedded.

Cancer Reports. doi: 10.1002/cnr2.1765. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  Background: Cancer is a leading cause of death among people 15–24 years of age. Increasing numbers of cancer patients survive. Extensive cancer therapy may cause wide-ranging somatic and psychosocial challenges in the lives of the survivors. Research indicates adolescent and young adult cancer (AYA) survivors need to be seen as a distinctive group of survivors having unique health care needs. The existing literature suggests the need for specific follow-up care programs addressing the challenges of AYAs and providing them access to specialized after care, as well as a need to explore AYA cancer survivors' own illness experiences. Aims: Through the theoretical lens of narrative medicine and care ethics, our purpose was to investigate the particular challenges encountered by the AYA cancer survivors, and how they view themselves in light of their illness experiences. We ask how AYA cancer survivors are met and understood by their medical professionals? Methods: This study applied a qualitative method using a narrative research design by collecting self-stories of illness in order to conceptualize human experiences of illness among AYA cancer survivors. Eight in-depth interviews were conducted using a narrative analysis according to the narrative plots of restitution, chaos and quest, as suggested by Arthur Frank. Results: Hopelessness and a struggle to take part in the activities of daily life as survivors of cancer were revealed. Too ill to fully take part in the society, the AYA cancer survivors strive to be understood for what they are, namely young survivors. Conclusion: The survivors´stories reveal a moral imperative that needs to be honored by medical professionals in order to improve cancer care. Cancer survivorship may be a lifelong process necessitating long-term follow-up care. With the lack of specific care programs for AYA cancer survivors, follow-up care is provided by general practitioners or other medical professionals, who often lack expertise in the unique challenges faced by AYA survivors. Because they feel their needs are unmet and their stories not understood, the AYA survivors might experience a sense of abandonment By adopting a care ethics and narrative medicine approach we provide medical professionals a theoretical framework to better understand and care for AYA cancer survivors. Clinical trial number is 2012/1141.

  Kvinner som gjennomlever graviditet og spebarnstid har særskilte kroppslige erfaringer. Tidligere forskning på hvordan småbarnsmødre balanserer arbeid ute og hjemme, har på ulike måter belyst dette som en psykososiokulturell konflikt med helsemessige implikasjoner. Målsettingen for denne studien er å benytte kroppsfenomenologiske perspektiver til å utvikle kunnskap om hvordan yrkesaktive småbarnsmødre erfarer sine kropper i den daglige omsorgen for sine barn, og på hvilke måter disse erfaringene kan bidra til større forståelse for småbarnsmødres helse og sårbarhet. Studien er basert på ni kvalitative dybdeintervjuer med utvalgte mødre som arbeidet tilnærmet fulltid og hadde to barnehagebarn hver. Vi studerte det empiriske materialet ved hjelp av en tematisk analyse. I artikkelen utforskes kroppen som omsorgsgrunnlag og kroppslig krysspress gjennom måter «å gjøre» og «å kjenne» kroppslige omsorgserfaringer på. Småbarnsmødrenes kroppslige erfaringer fortolkes som sensitivert kroppslighet overfor barna, og den slitne kroppen fremstår som spesielt sårbar. Den kontinuerlig tilstedeværende og beredte kroppen, sammen med bestrebelser for å likestille foreldrekroppen, betraktes som avgjørende for denne sårbarheten. Gjennom fortolkning og begrepsutvikling i denne studien synliggjøres og økes bevisstheten om forholdet mellom kroppslige omsorgserfaringer, kjønn og helse.

  There is a growing interest in the application of creative writing in the treatment of mental illness. Nonpharmacological approaches have shown that access to poetic, creative language can allow for the verbalisation of illness experiences, as well as for self-expressions that can include other facets of the subject outside of the disease. In particular, creative writing in a safe group context has proven to be of particular importance. In this article, we present a pilot on a creative writing group for young adults in treatment for psychosis. We set the texts and experiences from the writing group in dialogue with Paul Ricoeur’s and Julia Kristeva’s philosophies on poetic language as meaning making and part of subject formation. The focus is on language as materiality and potentiality and on the patient’s inherent linguistic resources as founded in a group dynamic. As a whole, the project seeks to give an increased theoretical and empirical understanding of the potentiality of language and creativity for healing experiences, participation and meaning-making processes among vulnerable people. Furthermore, a practice founded in poetic language might critically address both the general and biomedical understanding of the subject and disease.

  Stadig flere rammes av kreft. Samtidig er fremskrittene innen diagnostikk og behandling store og antall kreftoverlevere har økt betraktelig. Ved utgangen av 2020 hadde rundt 300 000 personer i Norge overlevd minst én kreftdiagnose. De omfattende behandlingene kreftpasienter gjennomgår innebærer at mange lever med senskader, traumatiske erfaringer og utfordringer. Med den betydelige veksten i antall kreftoverlevere som et utgangspunkt, er hovedmålet med vårt NFR-prosjekt Rethinking Cancer å problematisere kategorien «kreftoverlever» og dets helsepolitiske og kulturelle implikasjoner. Et annet mål er å utvikle ny kunnskap om hvordan overlevere etter gynekologisk kreft, prostatakreft og mage-tarm-kreft omtaler, nedtegner og billedlig sett representerer sine krefterfaringer, og i hvilken grad disse representasjonene henger sammen med mer etablerte og synlige diskurser om kreftoverlevelse. Et tredje mål er å bygge bro over denne kunnskapen til ulike pasientgrupper, helsemyndigheter og klinisk praksis, og dermed muliggjøre en kreftomsorg som er mer inkluderende og differensiert enn dagens. Samlet er målene i prosjektet sterkt fundert i behovet for å få bedre forståelse av hvordan menneskelig eksistens og teknologiske innovasjoner krysser hverandre, det vil si hvordan forholdet mellom medisinske innovasjoner og befolkningens forestillinger og praksiser knyttet til helse, sykdom, kropp og livskvalitet er flettet sammen i vår egen tid.

  Bakgrunn: Historisk sett har sykepleiernes journaler vært skrevet i fritekst. Siden 1996 har helsepolitiske føringer lagt opp til en standardisert terminologi i sykepleiernes journalføring for å sikre bedre kvalitet i pasientbehandlingen og koordinering av og kontinuitet i sykepleien. Det finnes få systematiske undersøkelser av hvordan språket anvendes i journalføringen: hva som vektlegges, hvordan den skriftlige diskursen fungerer, og hva som kan være eventuelle mønstre i dokumentasjonen. Hensikt: Studien undersøker språkbruk og mønstre i behandlingsplaner og evalueringsog vurderingsnotater samt deres begrensninger og muligheter. Studien søker å bidra til refleksjon over hva som vektlegges av mønstre og sammenhenger som etableres i den skriftlige diskursen. Metode: I studien undersøker vi sykepleiernes journalføring for ti pasienter på en intensivavdeling. Studien har et kvalitativt design. Diskursanalyse anvendes som metodisk og analytisk tilnærming. Resultat: To fremtredende diskurser med ulik vektlegging ble identifisert: 1) En omsorgsdiskurs kommer til uttrykk i evaluerings- og vurderingsnotatene. Her er utgangspunktet pasientens grunnleggende behov. Omsorgsdiskursen tar sikte på å øke pasientens trivsel, velvære og mestringsmuligheter i den aktuelle situasjonen. Den består av beskrivende fritekst, der ord og uttrykk et knyttet til konteksten og betinget av den. 2) En problemfokusert diskurs ble identifisert i behandlingsplanen. Den benytter et formalisert språk, der ord og uttrykk er hentet fra klassifikasjonssystemene NANDA og NIC. Journalføringen følger sykepleieprosessens strukturelle problemorientering og beskriver en plan for å behandle sykdom. Analysen viser hvordan de to diskursene forholder seg til og supplerer hverandre. Konklusjon: Diskursene har to ulike utgangspunkter. Omsorgsdiskursen karakteriseres av en helhetlig gjennomgang og omsorgsrettet ivaretakelse av pasienten, mens den problemfokuserte diskursen fokuserer på mål og tiltak ut fra identifiserte problemer. Disse to diskursene opptrer stort sett parallelt og utfyller hverandre i liten grad. Studien viser at omsorgsdiskursen synes å spille en selvstendig og hegemonisk rolle i sykepleiernes journalføring.

The gathered data were interpreted using a thematic analysis. <p> <p><i>Results</i> - Living with metastatic GIST, as well as the side effects of the required medication, led to changes that limited the participants’ daily life. They expressed how tiredness, impaired memory, and physical challenges were among the detrimental impacts of the disease on their family life, vocational life, social life, and leisure time. Adjustments were necessary to ensure they had sufficient energy to cope with the practical and relational aspects of everyday life. Feelings of uncertainty stemming from drug resistance, disease progression, and the possibility of early death were also experienced as challenging. Half the participants stated that it was difficult to keep negative mental health issues at bay, and all of them considered the time spent waiting for their scheduled follow-up scan to be burdensome. <p> <p><i>Conclusions</i> - It is important to focus increased attention on how the daily practical and psychosocial life of patients with chronic cancer, including metastatic GIST, is affected by their disease. Doing so might provide health-care workers with clues regarding how best to guide and support such patients throughout their emotional journey and, therefore, to improve their quality of life. As new medical treatments can also prolong survival and induce long-term clinical remission in relation to several other forms of metastatic cancer, the findings concerning GIST reported in this study might have widespread implications.

  Background and aims: Psoriasis is a common chronic skin condition, causing skin lesions with thickened and scaling skin, as well as erythema and inflammation that may involve painful sores, cracks, and pustules. Previously psoriasis was regarded as a painless skin condition. However, over the past decade studies show that skin pain is a frequently reported and bothersome symptom in patients with psoriasis. There is however a lack of rich narratives describing the experience of skin pain in these patients. The aims of this qualitative study were therefore to explore in depth how patients experience psoriasisrelated skin pain, and how they deal with it. Methods: Thirteen patients with psoriasis were recruited from a dermatology ward and outpatient clinic. One of the investigators (TML) performed individual, semi-structured interviews at an undisturbed room in the hospital. Interviews were thematically analyzed using the method of Systematic Text Condensation as described by Malterud (2012). Results: Three main themes were identified from the interviews. First, the skin pain experience was complex. Patients used a variety of adjectives and metaphors to describe their pain, and their skin was sensitive to stimuli of everyday activities. Itch was a common cosymptom, and could both mask pain but also cause severe pain due to excessive scratching and damage to the skin. Second, skin pain had a negative impact on patients’ life. Skin pain reduced their physical activity level, impaired their sleep, and made them irritable, depressed, unconcentrated on tasks, as well as withdrawn from other people and social activities. Third, patients dealt with their skin pain in various ways. Although some took action to relieve the pain and distract themselves from pain, most of the patients applied maladaptive and passive coping strategies such as put up with it, avoid painful activities, become fearful or trivialize their pain. Conclusions: The experience of psoriasis related skin pain is complex. The pain has a major negative impact on patients’ life in terms of physical, emotional, cognitive, and social functions. Patients use a variety of adaptive but most frequently maladaptive coping strategies in order to deal with their skin pain. Implications: This study provides new and in-depth knowledge on psoriasis related skin pain. This information is valuable for further work on pain assessment tools and pain management recommendations customized for skin pain experienced by patients with psoriasis.

  <i>Background</i>: This study aims to explore how patients with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) experience the adverse efects of treatment, as expressed by the individuals themselves.<p> <p><i>Methods</i>: A qualitative, phenomenological and hermeneutic design was applied. Twenty patients with metastatic GIST participated in the study. In-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted and then analysed by means of an inductive thematic analysis.<p> <p><i>Results</i>: The majority of participants reported experiencing a changed life after being diagnosed with metastatic GIST and commencing systemic medical treatment. More than half of them described partially debilitating self-reported side effects and complaints that had a detrimental impact on their lives. The life-prolonging tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment prompted the participants to adapt to ‘a new normal’. Several participants also emphasised having an ambivalent relationship with the pill, although most looked upon it as ‘a friend’ because it kept them alive. Paradoxically, while the participants struggled with the side effects of treatment as well as the consequences of living with a chronic cancer, half of them considered themselves to be healthy and, thus, to not actually be cancer patients.<p> <p><i>Conclusions</i>: We observed a gap between the biomedical perspective on disease that health professionals typically adopt and the individual experiences of patients living with metastatic GIST. For those patients who are living in limbo between having metastatic cancer and offered an effective treatment, a holistic view of health on the part of their healthcare providers seems crucial. A vital goal should hence be to improve communication between healthcare professionals and GIST patients so as to secure an individualised follow-up with guidance on coping with, and adapting to, their new normal.

  Throughout history, melancholy and mourning are predominantly understood within the tradition of psychopathology. Herein, melancholy is perceived as an ailing response to significant loss, and mourning as a healing experience. By taking the philosophies of Freud, Ricoeur and Kristeva together with relevant social scientific research as a theoretical framework and by drawing on women’s accounts of melancholy and mourning in infertility treatment, we offer an exploration of melancholy and mourning beyond this pathological ailing/healing logic. We do so by asking what it means for women to actually live with melancholy and mourning in infertility treatment. In answering this question, we show that women in infertility treatment may have different kinds of melancholic longings: they desire their lost time as a pregnant woman, lost love life and lost future. Within these longings, women derive their sense of self predominantly from their lost past: they understand themselves as the mothers or lovers they once were or could have been. We further reveal that some of these women attempt to escape this dwelling of identity and mourn their losses by (re)narrating their pasts or through performing rituals. While these results show how melancholy and mourning are coshaped in relation to these women’s embodied, temporal, sociocultural and material lived context, they also give insight into how melancholy and mourning may be understood beyond infertility treatment. We reveal how the binary dynamic between melancholy and mourning is inherently ambiguous: melancholy instigates a joyous painfulness, something that is or is not overcome through the agonising exertion of mourning. We show, moreover, that underlying this melancholy/mourning dynamic is a pressing and uncontrollable reality of not being able to make (sufficient) sense of oneself. At the end of this work, then, we argue that it follows out of these conclusions’ urgency to have context-sensitive compassionate patience with those who live with melancholy and mourning.

  Aim: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Surgery is seen as the only curative treatment. There are two approaches to liver resection: open or laparoscopic surgery. Knowledge from the patient perspective can illuminate how it is experienced going through laparoscopic surgery. We aimed to study patient perspectives of the experience of undergoing laparoscopic liver resection surgery in patients with colorectal liver metastases. Design: This study has a qualitative research design. Nine patients participated in semi‐structured interviews 6 months after surgery. Data were analysed according to Kvale's five‐step analysis method. Results: Though the patients were satisfied with the laparoscopic approach, they expressed unmet informational needs about the new technique, time after discharge and surgery outcomes related to having metastatic cancer. Healthcare professionals should provide information and support that recognizes the needs of patients with cancer undergoing laparoscopic liver resection surgery.

Samtidig lever folk enger, noe som medfører at sykdommen også får en større utbredelse.

  In this article four literary works that thematise cancer are analysed in light of two recent trends in society: (1) the emergence of the bodily turn and the writing of one’s cancer experience through illness narratives, and (2) the increasing tendency towards an autobiographically influenced literature. The literary works comprise the novel Ei vinterreise (A Winter’s Journey) by Ragnar Hovland (2001), the novel La meg sove til dette bare er en drøm (Let Me Sleep Until This is Just a Dream) by Ellisiv Stifoss-Hanssen (2014), and two poetry collections, Den tredje porten (The Third Gate) by Åse-Marie Nesse (2000) and Muntre dødsdikt og andre dikt (Cheerful Death Poems and Other Poems) by Jan Jakob Tønseth (2015). All four authors have or had cancer at the time of writing, and the four works open up for a reading where the cancer is closely related to the life of the author. The article examines what the different books achieve by writing about cancer experiences in literary genres. A close reading of the books reveals that a literary representation opens up a more nuanced investigation of cancer experiences than what is found in more traditional illness narratives.

  Det finnes en lang rekke estetiske verk av svært ulik karakter med beskrivelser og fremstillinger av tuberkulose, som var svært utbredt i Europa på 1800-tallet og frem til medisinen oppdaget årsakene og kunne tilby helbredelse. Mye er skrevet rundt denne diagnosen også i nordisk litteratur. Utgangspunktet for artikkelen er et kapittel om tuberkulose fra vårt felles arbeide fra 2011, Sykdom som litteratur. Der vektla vi særlig Thomas Manns roman Trolldomsfjellet, som vi her kun refererer til sporadisk. I Sykdom som litteratur analyserer vi 13 diagnoser i skjønnlitteraturen og forsøker å sette relasjonen mellom sykdom og litteratur inn i en større teoretisk, medisinsk og historisk kontekst enn det her er plass til å utdype. I det følgende skal det dreie seg om særlig litterære perspektiver på sykdommen tuberkulose. Vi har valgt å begrense oss til et par innlysende eksempler, blant mange mulige, ved siden av noen generelle kommentarer.

  Det er en utbredt oppfatning at døden er lite synlig i vår kultur og at vi snakker lite om den. Utgangspunktet for antologien Døden i livet er å utfordre disse forestillingene fra ulike perspektiv og fagfelt. Forfatterne understreker at døden er til stede i våre liv på mange måter. Vi ser den og opplever den i våre fysiske omgivelser, for eksempel der hvor vi har innrettet oss for å minnes de døde. Vi hører den eller leser om den i taler, dikt, musikalske tekster, salmer, nekrologer, biografier, bildebøker, romaner og avistekster. Vi uttaler oss om død i samtaler med hverandre, i karakteristikker av avdøde og gjennom fagspråk om sykdom og død. Vi viser vår forståelse av døden gjennom visuelle uttrykk som i avisbilder, i bokillustrasjoner og i de språklige bildene og metaforene vi bruker når vi omtaler den. Døden i livet er en tverrfaglig, vitenskapelig antologi. Boken består av 12 fagfellevurderte kapitler og henvender seg til forskere og studenter som har interesse av å sette seg inn i hvordan døden er til stede i vår kultur. Kapitlene er skrevet av forskere fra ulike fagfelt som helsefag, pedagogikk, idéhistorie, religionsvitenskap, litteraturvitenskap, språkvitenskap og retorikk.

  Medically unexplained physical symptoms (MUPS) are a significant and increasing health issue in the western world. Chronic pain constitutes a considerable element of these symptoms, and the lack of a biomedical explanation of their cause challenges the clinical encounter. The limitations of biomedicine become evident in these encounters and expose the need for an expanded understanding of body and symptom. Semiotics, as an anti-dualistic meta-theory, closes the gap between natural science and the humanities and views the human body in an evolutionary and existential perspective. By focusing on interpretation and communication of signs as ongoing processes at all levels of life, biology and experience, the subjective and the measurable will be integrated. A special type of sign, the self-referential, is part of the body’s internal communication. These signs may be viewed as the body’s warnings to itself, for instance when the individual’s consciousness, thought and action run counter to the organism’s physiological and psychological needs. In a semiotic perspective, existential conditions may also activate the body’s defense systems. In this context, the unexplained pain may be understood as a functional warning sign. The enhanced understanding of body and symptom that a semiotic approach calls for is relevant for the work of physiotherapists and may lead to more constructive clinical encounters with patients with unexplained chronic pain.

  Ubehagelig lukt i hjemmet eller fra en person er sosialt uakseptabelt og skambelagt. Hvordan hjemmesykepleiere erfarer og håndterer ubehagelig lukt i samhandling med brukere, og hvordan brukerne opplever sykepleierens handlingsvalg, er per i dag et lite utforsket område. Hensikten med studien er å undersøke hvordan sykepleiere erfarer og håndterer luktproblematikk i hjemmet, og hvordan brukere opplever og vurderer sykepleiernes handlingsvalg. Vi foretok en kvalitativ studie med observasjon og intervju av 30 sykepleiere og 11 pasienter i 3 hjemmesykepleiedistrikter i en større norsk by. Ubehagelig lukt i hjemmene var oftest forårsaket av sykdom og sviktende hygiene hos brukerne. Sykepleierne oppfattet lukt i hjemmet som skambelagt. De oppfattet brukerne som dobbelt sårbare fordi både person og hjem var utsatt for andres avsky. De ønsket å beskytte brukerne mot skammen. De vanligste handlingsstrategiene var å fjerne lukt gjennom praktisk handling, unngå å vise kroppslige reaksjoner på lukt og forholde seg tause om luktproblematikk. Brukerne opplevde at luktfjerning gjennom praktisk handling var viktig for sosial trygghet. Taushet forsterket skammen og ensomheten og bidro i noen tilfeller til et svekket behandlingstilbud. Brukerne ønsket større åpenhet. Det er behov for større åpenhet og fagkunnskap om luktproblematikk i hjemmet. Det er viktig å etterspørre brukernes erfaringer og ønsker for å utvikle et adekvat pleie- og behandlingstilbud.

  In the rich literature on ‘new fathers’ there is an emergent focus on the role of class in shaping fathering practices and identities. According to time-use measures, the new ‘hands-on-father’ involved in the daily activities of childcare (Brannen and Nielsen, 2006) is most evident among middle-class fathers (Sullivan, 2010). Indeed, this new father is subject to much critical scrutiny (Bekkengen, 2006; Johansson and Klinth, 2008). Yet, so far, the persistent emphasis on this specific configuration of emotionally involved fathering may have the unintended consequence of assigning working-class fathers the role of those lagging behind in a movement towards one particular form of emotional involvement (Plantin 2007; Farstad and Stefansen, 2015). An emergent focus on how various material and cultural life situations shape different configurations of fatherhood and emotional involvement offers a promising way out of this impasse (Brannen and Nielsen, 2006; Plantin 2007; Braun et al., 2010; Stefansen and Farstad, 2015). In this article, we will provide an enhanced insight into the complex issue of emotional involvement by examining how middle-class and working-class fathers relate to their sons’ ADHD diagnosis. Diagnosis and medical treatment of ADHD often entail difficult dilemmas for parents concerning their child’s well-being and educational success. We will use this as a lens through which we explore how the entwinement of gendered and classed perceptions informs men’s fathering practices and emotional involvement with their children. Drawing on a narrative interview study of fathers of boys diagnosed with ADHD (Olsvold, 2012), we describe classed differences in fathers’ narratives around their sons’ ADHD diagnosis and medication. These different narratives contribute to enhanced insight into how classed experiences and life situations play into and shape different formations of masculinity and emotionally involved fathering. © 2017 Policy Press

  Der portugiserne har sin fado og grekerne sine gråtekoner, har vi i dagens Norge få sorgritualer ut over selve begravelsesritualet. Det er som om krav om effektivitet og å være velfungerende, initiativrik og fleksibel utelukker en lengre sørgetid og derfor har fortrengt slike praksiser. I forbindelse med dødsfall og deltagelse i begravelse innen den nærmeste familien har for eksempel en ansatt normalt krav på en kort velferdspermisjon, vanligvis én dag i privat virksomhet, noen flere i kommune og stat.i Vi skal imidlertid ikke så langt tilbake i tid før det var vanlig å bære sørgebind i ett år etter at en nær person var død. Kulturen uttrykker med andre ord forventninger til og mønstre for hvordan den sørgende skal oppføre seg og sorg erfares. I noen sammenhenger er det samsvar mellom de kulturelle føringene og den enkeltes erfaring, i andre foregår det strid og forhandling, noe som gjerne endres over tid. Da kong Olav gikk bort i 1991, strømmet folket spontant til for å tenne levende lys utenfor Slottet. Etter massedrapene på Utøya og i regjeringskvartalet i 2011 ble Nordahl Griegs dikt «Til ungdommen» et samlende uttrykk for den kollektive sorgen. Og da en av langrennsjentene under OL i Sotsji i 2014 mistet broren sin, bar alle landslagsjentene sort sørgebånd. Slike spontane symbolske handlinger kan betraktes som uttrykk for at konvensjoner for hvordan vi uttrykker sorg, nettopp er i endring i dagens Skandinavia.

  The main theme of this essay is depictions of long-term exhaustion, a severe form of tiredness, in historical and contemporary fictional literature. Tiredness and exhaustion are real both in a biological and in an experiential sense: the phenomena entail experiences of biological processes that go on in the human body. In this paper, however, it is the cultural dimension of these phenomena that interests us. Although our perceptions are individually and subjectively perceived, they are prefigured by the socio-cultural contexts in which we are situated, and therefore infused with culturally defined norms and values. These norms and values are generated through interactions between human beings, and therefore vary between time and place. Culturally and historically contingent norms about exhaustion define rules about who has permission to be exhausted, and when, where, and how we are allowed to express it. These perceptions are gendered: men and women seem to handle tiredness differently and the (stereotyped) masculine response – to pull yourself together and “handle it like a man” – is perceived as the culturally more legitimate form in our culture, where tiredness is seen as a sign of weakness, and the normative ideals are energy, toughness, strength, and endurance.

  <b>Background and Objectives:</b> Among several long-term effects, people treated for cancer may experience an altered appearance. Our study aims to identify how visible body changes following surgical treatment affect the life and identity of primary bone sarcoma survivors 3–10 years after diagnosis. A qualitative, phenomenological, and hermeneutic design was applied. <b> Methods:</b> Sarcoma survivors (n ¼ 18) who were previously treated at Norwegian Radium Hospital, Oslo University Hospital, participated in the study. In-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. <b> Results:</b> The main finding of this study concerned how altered appearance after bone cancer treatment in the hip/pelvis or lower extremities affected the participants’ self-esteem. Half of the participants expressed concerns about their visible differences, particularly those with functional impairment. They felt that it is important to hide the bodily signs of changes to appear as normal as possible, as well as attractive and healthy. They describe, with specific examples, how these changes influence their self-realization, especially their social life. <b> Conclusions:</b> Healthcare providers who guide bone sarcoma survivors during follow-up should develop a comprehensive understanding of what it means to cope with a changed and challenging body.

  Purpose. Our study aims to explore how former cancer patients experience physical and psychosocial late effects 3–7 years after they underwent treatment for primary bone sarcoma in the hip/pelvic region. A qualitative, phenomenological, and hermeneutic design was applied. Methods. Sarcoma survivors () previously treated at Oslo University Hospital, Norwegian Radium Hospital were selected to participate. In-depth and semistructured interviews were conducted. The interviews were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. Results. The participants reported that the late effects had three core spheres of impact: “their current daily life,” “their future opportunities,” and “their identity.” They expressed negative changes in activity, increased dependence on others, and exclusion from participation in different areas. Their daily life, work, sports activities, and social life were all affected. Several of their experiences are similar to those described by people with functional impairment or disability. Conclusion. Patients cured of bone cancer in the hip/pelvic region pay a significant price in terms of functional impairment, practical challenges, exclusion from important aspects of life, and loss of previous identity. It is important to appreciate this in order to help bone cancer survivors who struggle to reorient their life and build a secure new identity.

  Culture and history affect the ways in which medical knowledge is shaped, sustained and changed. The less knowledge we have, the larger the space for the cultural imprint becomes. Based on these assumptions, we ask: how have medical constructions of long-term exhaustion changed over time, and how are changing constructions related to societal change? To discuss these questions we conducted a comparative study of medical texts from two historical periods: 1860–1930 and 1970–2013. Our data are limited to two diagnoses: neurasthenia and encephalomyelitis. After comparing the two periods by identifying diverging and converging aspects, we interpreted observed continuities and interruptions in relation to historical developments. We found that in the medical literature, long-term exhaustion became transformed from a somatic ailment bred by modern civilisation to a self-inflicted psychiatric ailment. At the same time, it changed from being a male-connoted high-status condition to a female-connoted low-status condition. We interpret these changes as contingent upon culturally available modes of interpretations. Medical knowledge thereby becomes infused with cultural norms and values which give them a distinct cultural bias. The historical controversies surrounding this medically contested condition neatly display the socially contingent factors that govern the social construction of medical knowledge.

  In this paper, we explore how younger women in Norway construct their embodiment and sense of self after hysterectomy. To do this, we conducted in-depth interviews with eight ethnic Norwegian women aged between 25 and 43 who had undergone hysterectomy. In line with a broad phenomenological approach to illness, the study was designed to explore the trajectories of the women’s illness with a specific focus on concrete human experience and identity claims from a subjective point of view. In analysing the stories, we encountered feelings of suffering due to the loss of the uterus as well as profound side-effects, such as menopause. However, we also found evidence of relief from being treated for heavy bleeding and serious illness. In order to accentuate the individual voices in these illness stories, we chose a case-oriented analysis in line with Radley and Chamberlain (2001) and Riessman (2008). From this, two main seemingly contradictory storylines stood out: They have removed what made me a woman versus Without a uterus, I feel more like a woman. We also identified heteronormativity as an unstated issue in both these storylines and in the research data as a whole. Acknowledging diversity in the way women experience hysterectomy is important for a better understanding of the ways in which hysterectomy may affect women as humans as well as for developing more cultural competent healthcare services for this group.

  Severe long-lasting exhaustion is a bodily condition which has been known for hundreds of years. The medical name has changed many times (from neurasthenia to myalgic encephalomyelitis) and the causes described in various ways. A recurrent question is how the condition should be placed in relation to psyche and soma. In this article, we set out to compare contemporary medical understandings of this condition with those of the late 19th century. Secondly, we explore the relation between shifting medical understandings and the cultural and historical setting in which the medical system is embedded. Our analysis shows how medical constructions of exhausted women are related to general cultural norms and values in society, including notions of femininity and masculinity. The article contributes to the theoretical development of the sociology of diagnosis.

  Motstandens former er utallige, de finnes overalt og setter ulike stemmer og perspektiver i verk. Imidlertid og paradoksalt nok kan det virke som om noen av de mest høylytte stemmene i vår tid utbrer seg i en motstand mot truede verdier, som demokrati, likestilling, integrasjon og mangfold. Motstandsbegrepet er uten tvil presset på en rekke fronter. Samtidig synes vår egen tid å etterlyse forståelse av hva motstand er. Begrepet må analyseres og reartikuleres. Vi oppsøker derfor ulike motstandsformer, ikke primært på gater og torg, men der hvor de diskuteres og utspiller seg i medier som kunst, litteratur, film, poesi og filosofi, hvor motstand fremstår mer som en prosess og en undersøkelse enn et entydig fenomen. Vi anser motstand som noe som er i utvikling, en «bliven» og som fremmes og utforskes snarere enn å være en ferdig form man trer inn i. Den tverrfaglige antologien Motstandens former forsøker å delta i en bevegelse hvor motstandsbegrepet så å si oppfinnes og gjennomreflekteres på nye måter. Av teoretikere som danner rammen for våre tekster finner vi blant andre Hannah Arendt, Roland Barthes, Walter Benjamin, Jonna Bornemark, Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Miranda Fricker, Félix Guattari, Arne Næss, og Gayatri C. Spivak. Disse og mange flere tenkere er berørt i boken.

  I dagens Norge er det mer enn 300 000 personer som har hatt kreft, eller som lever med kreftsykdom. Kunnskapen om de sosiale og personlige sidene ved det å overleve en kreftsykdom er likevel begrenset, noe denne boka tar opp i bred forstand. Vekker alle former for kreft, bivirkninger av behandlingen eller senvirkninger like mye empati? Hvilket språk er tilgjengelige for dem som rammes? Hvem setter dagsorden for hvordan sykdom generelt, og kreft spesielt, tas opp offentlig? Hvilke stemmer blir hørt? Og hvordan kan kreftoverlevere i større grad forstås og møtes på egne premisser? I denne antologien undersøker forskere med ulik fagbakgrunn hvordan det erfares å få kreft, og hvordan disse erfaringene er knyttet til storsamfunnets forestillinger om kreft og kreftoverlevelse. På film, i blogger og andre personlige beretninger beskrives ofte kreftoverleveren som en helt. På hvilken måte påvirker dette idealet om heroisme mennesker som lever med – og har levd med – kreft? Boka tar særlig for seg erfaringer med gynekologisk kreft, kolorektal kreft og lungekreft, kreftformer som har vært lite synlige i dagens kulturelle offentlighet. Den bygger på nyskapende forskning og vil være interessant for alle som er i berøring med kreft, også helsepersonell.
