  This article examines symbols and meanings in breast cancer awareness campaigns, and the ways in which multifarious actors draw attention to the disease. We discuss what the various campaigns and initiatives can indicate, above and beyond creating breast cancer awareness. Our data stem from sources such as printed material, the Internet, and events. From these sources we have singled out and explored objects, text, and visual expressions, looking in particular for metaphors and symbolic aspects. In this article we present six “images” indicating the underlying patterns that we found. We have called the images Re-enchantment of femininity, Infantilization, Corporate profit-making, Objectification, Transgression of boundaries, and Exhibition of deviation. These are further discussed in the light of perspectives drawn from the social sciences and feminist theories. One of the article’s key arguments is that breast cancer campaigns, to a great extent, build upon and reinforce traditional, stereotypical gender roles.

  Purpose: Asthma is a common chronic disease with gender differences in terms of severity and quality of life. This study aimed to understand the gendered practices of male asthmatic adolescents in terms of living with and managing their chronic disease. The study applied a sociological perspective to identify the gender-related practices of participants and their possible consequences for health and disease. Patients and methods: The study used a combined ethnomethodology and grounded theory design, which was interpreted using Bourdieu's theory of practice. We aimed to discover how participants interpreted their social worlds to create a sense of meaning in their everyday lives. The study was based on multistage focus group interviews with five adolescent participants at a specialist center for asthmatic children and youths. We took necessary precautions to protect the participants, according to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The study protocol was approved by the Regional Committee for Medical Research Ethics and the hospital's research department. Results: The core concept for asthmatic male adolescents was being men. They were focused on being nonasthmatic, and exhibited ambivalence towards the principles of the health services. Physical activity supported their aim of being men and being nonasthmatic, as well as supported their treatment goals. Being fearless, unconcerned, “cool,” and dependent also supported the aim of being men and being nonasthmatic, but not the health service principle of regular medication. Occasionally, the participants were asthmatic when they were not able to or gained no advantages from being nonasthmatic. Their practice of being men independently of being asthmatic emphasized their deeply gendered habits. Conclusion: Understanding gender differences in living with and managing asthma is important for health workers. Knowledge of embodied gendered habits and their reproduction in social interactions and clinical work should be exploited as a resource during the supervision of asthmatic adolescent boys.

  This article is an interdisciplinary discussion of the assertion that a «bodily state of preparedness for others» is a gendered deep habit, through the concepts of habitus and habit. Through these concepts we combine vocabulary from the social sciences and American pragmatism. We argue that a bodily state of preparedness for others is based on embodied habits or deep habits, and that these are both physical and mental. In order to be able to understand the depth of embodied habits, we put forward the hypothesis that we can interpret the meaning of chronic pain conditions as the body´s own self-reflexive warning system. These symptoms do not address the outer world, but the body itself. As a conclusion we argue that discussions of gender practice should play an important part in any curative activity which could be organized by the health service.

  Masculinities in the Norwegian Armed Forces • Problem. The aim of the project is to identify masculine cultures in the Norwegian Armed Forces, and in particular those that are in opposition to the political aim of a higher level of Gender Equality in the Forces. • Methods The project is carried out through a number of methodologies: 1) A quantitative survey measuring norms and value systems among men both in and outside the Military Forces. Their view on Gender Equality in general, and in the forces in particular, are of significant interest. Different age groups are addressed. 2) Informant interviews with high rank officers and civilians in the Ministry of Defense and some other central military authorities. 3) Case studies following recruits in an army camp and on marine vessels, using the methodology of Institutional Ethnography (Smith 2005). • Findings Immature men of all ages who use jokes and bullying as a way of socializing with each other. Many counter-strategies to gender equality circulating within the military When men cross the line, there are no consequences We also found negative female cultures Solidary masculinity as seen in the survey Sexualizing masculinity as seen in the case studies Solidary and inclusive masculinity – the case of mixed rooms • Conclusions A strong dependence on leadership Mixed rooms can be an effective tool if

  Vi må se nærmere på menns helse for at kvinner skal få bedre helse. Neglisjering av mennenes helse er et hinder for likestilling i kvinnehelsepolitikken. Omsorgsrollen som kvinner har en tilbøyelighet til å påta seg når mannen er syk belastende og går ofte på helsa løs. Hvis menn tar mer ansvar for egen helse og kvinner mer hensyn til egne behov, vil begge kjønn kunne profittere på det.

  The methodological approach in the research project was influenced ny the concept "Dialogue and Participation", which means a dialogue between the researcher and the participants, and a dialgue between the participants. In the subsequent film project, dialogue took the of an ongoing communication process in which the collaborating actors co-produced research by negotiating between different knowledge forms and expert identities. The purpose of my presentation is to investigate how and to what extent a film can act as a platform for discussions of dialogue and participation, governance and power, in the communication of research with other researchers in the field.
