Presentation

My current research regards cultural aspects of snow in the light of global warming. The aim of the project is to investigate how snow as a cultural phenomenon is understood and renegotiated in relation to climate change. This is done by doing a cultural analysis of snow as a phenomenon in contemporary Sweden. Memory, meaning and materiality are the analytical themes that form the focus of the study.

Currently I am analysing written answers from a questionnaire conducted in collaboration with the Swedish Folk Life Archive in Lund. The questions and themes for the questionnaire regards people’s memories of snow, thoughts and feelings regarding contemporary snow.
