Anette Nyqvist

In 24 chapters, social anthropologist Anette Nyqvist and photographer Susanne Walström tell the story of the world’s most fabled metal. Over several years, the authors travelled to places where gold is mined, refined, sold and ultimately used. The authors cover not only the history of gold and its varied applications but also the paradox between the dubious way in which it is often sourced and the glamorous end product.

I 24 kapitel berättar socialantropologen Anette Nyqvist och fotografen Susanne Walström om världens mest mytomspunna metall. Författarna har i flera år rest till platser runt jorden där guld bryts, bearbetas, säljs och används. De skildrar inte bara guldets historia och dess skiftande användningsområden utan också den paradoxala motsättningen mellan den smutsiga framställningen och den glimrande lyxanvändningen.

Reform and Responsibility in the Remaking of the Swedish National Pension System is a detailed study through Sweden's national pension system. With Sweden's recently reformed national pension system as the illustrative example, Nyqvist shows how new forms of governance effectively shift responsibility from state level to an individual level. She sheds light on how politicians, technocrats, and bureaucrats work to educate and foster the general public into responsible, hardworking, and financially literate citizens. This ethnographic example of how contemporary power works by way of new forms of governance, Reform and Responsibility in the Remaking of the Swedish National Pension System is an exploration into the art of governing of a large-scale governmental policy process
