Transformation of cultural values and behavioral practices among migrants in Sweden: a communicative perspective
(2013-09-13) Rodin, Pavel; IT-universitetet i Göteborg/Tillämpad informationsteknologi; IT University of Gothenburg/Applied Information Technology
Increasing mobility of the world’s population, growth of immigration flows, and relative distribution of immigrant population around the globe make it necessary to strive for s deeper understanding of cultural change occurring in migrants. The study aims to collect micro-experiences of immigrants from the three selected countries (the Russian Federation, Iran and the People’s Republic of China) who live in Sweden. The study has the goal to examine how transformation of cultural values and behavioral practices takes place. For that purpose nineteen in-depth interviews are conducted. Analysis of the qualitative data is done through a combination of deductive and inductive approaches. Features of cultural transformations, their causes and circumstances are presented, and further analysis in correspondence with the theoretical framework of the study is done. The data of the study supports a non-linear model of acculturation, which considers cultural transformation as a reversible process. This study reveals that acculturation may be seen as an undulation process with regard to the residence time of immigrants and the width and depth of communication with the host society. Several hypotheses stimulating and restraining cultural transformation are suggested. And recommendations for future research are provided.
Voices in the arena: A Participation-Centred Study of Multivocal Risk and Crisis Communication
(2023-06-12) Rodin, Pavel
Contemporary risk and crisis communication take place in a complex multiplatform and multivocal environment, where numerous social media foster and facilitate online participation. Lay social media users are thus able to create, maintain, and share their own crisis narrative(s), which exist alongside official information and media reports. Traditional theoretical and practical approaches to risk and crisis communication focus primarily on strategic communication by organisations and institutional actors, and thus fail to account for lay people’s participation. In contrast, this dissertation draws on the Rhetorical Arena Theory and aims to explore the multivocality of risk and crisis communication from the perspective of lay social media users’ participation. Voices in the arena offers three studies conducted in the two risk and crisis communication contexts related to the public health: the 2014-2015 Ebola outbreak and vaccination communication in Sweden. The results of the dissertation deepen the understanding of multivocal risk and crisis communication and expand the Rhetorical Arena Theory by offering insights into (i) the variations and interplay of communicative contributions on rhetorical sub-arenas by the news media and social media users, (ii) motivations for online participation as well as the ways sociality and visibility of communication on Facebook affect these motivations, and (iii) the effects of trust beliefs on motivations for online participation and corresponding participation roles.
