En kropp av spöken : A Body of Ghosts

Verseau, Victoria January 2020 (has links)
Based on a series of attempts to capture, focus and preserve memories and what has been lost, A Body of Ghosts evokes what moves in the destructive, towards oblivion or forgetfulness. Before I forget, I want to tell you about the loss of a close friend and about a time that changed us fundamentally. I want you to see the struggles that take place on the periphery of society. I want to talk about the transition, both physical and invisible, from boy to woman. This work is a construction containing our stories, Meril’s and mine, wherein memories and collected objects meet and reconfigure, the everyday and the suggestive intertwine. I find myself in the gap between dream and reality, a process that has led me to an obscure place where a distortion occurs; a place where time uncovers fragments from then and now. Emotions, situations and events have been loaded into these objects: an H&M jacket I wore when I got dumped at the age of 24, and after which I never felt the same kind of youthful, burning love. Casts of a vaginal dilator, at 5, 6, 7, 8, inches, to be used after gender reassignment surgery and forever more.  Thus objects undergo transitions into sculptures. Sculptures become symbols of crucial memories, repetitions and imitations of the original. Time has been left in the material, something non-physical placed in the physical.  My life mirrors Meril, but something remains out of reach. Screens of latex and metal shield my ambivalence towards this revelation of self. The camera inhibiting the act of remembering, keeping me from a long-lost friend. Photosensitive, only to be kept in the dark. Here, the works are partially concealed; the visitor must enter behind architectural partitions or into a hidden room in order to receive the whole story. The visitor is a voyeur outside the work but once inside it, becomes the observed. Behind each layer is a new fragment of the whole and thus the story unfolds. A Body of Ghosts in the void.

Sustainability Reporting : A case study of challenges and future challenges with sustainability reporting methods / Hållbarhetsrapportering : En fallstudie av utmaningar och framtida utmaningar med metoder för hållbarhetsredovisning

Johansson, Sara, Ohlson, Ebba January 2022 (has links)
Challenges on how to approach global sustainability issues are increasing along with the growing global warming. This entails an increasing pressure on firms to manage sustainability- related issues, both deriving from governance regulations as well as a from a growing consciousness from public institutions. Sustainability reporting is further both required within EU legislation and also expected from current societal values. However, sustainability reporting has been criticised for lacking comparability, reliability and thus legitimacy. Legitimation is a necessity for organisations to gain social acceptance. The field of sustainability reporting is rapidly developing which highlights the importance for organisations to stay updated on coming regulations and trends. The overarching aim of this thesis is to explore, advance and compile the understanding of challenges with current sustainability reporting methods. A further aim is to conduct a qualitative forecast analysis of what sustainability reporting will require in the future to gain legitimacy and identify potential upcoming challenges connected to this forecast. Literature within the sustainability reporting and accounting field have been reviewed as well as legitimacy and institutional theory. Interviews with experts within the studied field have been conducted, along with participant observations through a case company study. The study has concluded several challenges with sustainability reporting methods, among others that voluntary disclosure requirements contribute to the lack of standardisation, comparability, and reliability, and therefore also a lack of legitimacy. For the future, the new CSR directive is expected as new legislation for sustainability reporting within a few years and is expected to entail more extensive regulations and requirements on external auditing. The most commonly used reporting standard currently, the GRI, will not completely cover the future requirements and more focus of the entire supply chain can be expected. This study has contributed to the existing research field of sustainability reporting and accounting by compiling, exploring and analysing challenges from the papers´ perspective, which lead to a lack of legitimacy in sustainability reports. The study has, besides this, contributed to knowledge on the potential future of sustainability reporting based on statements and opinions from insightful interviewees together with the identified current challenges. / Utmaningarna kring hur man ska förhålla sig till globala hållbarhetsfrågor ökar i takt med den växande globala uppvärmningen. Detta innebär ett ökande tryck på företag att hantera hållbarhetsrelaterade frågor, som inte bara härrör från lagstiftning utan också har fått ett växande intresse från offentliga institutioner. Hållbarhetsrapportering krävs både inom EU lagstiftning, men är även förväntat utifrån nuvarande samhällsvärderingar. Hållbarhetsredovisningen har dock kritiserats för att sakna jämförbarhet, tillförlitlighet och därmed legitimitet. Legitimitet är en nödvändighet för organisationer för att hålla sig konkurrenskraftiga och även för att få acceptans från samhället. Hållbarhetsrapportering området utvecklas snabbt, vilket understryker vikten av att organisationer håller sig uppdaterade kring kommande regelverk och trender. Det övergripande syftet med denna studie är att utforska, utveckla och sammanställa förståelsen kring utmaningar med nuvarande hållbarhetsredovisningsmetoder. Ett vidare syfte är att göra en kvalitativ framtidsprognos av vad hållbarhetsredovisning kommer att kräva i framtiden för att uppnå legitimitet och identifiera potentiella kommande utmaningar kopplade till denna prognos. Litteratur inom hållbarhetsrapportering och redovisning har granskats, samt legitimitet och institutionell teori. Intervjuer med experter inom det studerade området har genomförts, även "Participant Observations" har gjorts genom en fallstudie på ett företag. Den här studien har sammanställt flera utmaningar med hållbarhetsrapporteringsmetoder, bland annat att frivilliga innehållskrav bidrar till bristen på standardisering, jämförbarhet och tillförlitlighet och därför också bristande legitimitet. För framtiden väntas det nya CSR-direktivetsom ny lagstiftning för hållbarhetsredovisning inom några år och förväntas innebära mer omfattande regelverk och krav på extern revision. Den vanligaste rapporteringsstandarden för närvarande, GRI, kommer inte helt att täcka de framtida kraven och mer fokus på hela leveranskedjan kan förväntas. Denna studie har bidragit till det befintliga forskningsfältet för hållbarhetsrapportering och redovisning genom att sammanställa, utforska och analysera utmaningar från utförarnas perspektiv, vilket leder till bristande legitimitet i hållbarhetsrapporter. Studien har utöver detta bidragit till kunskap om hållbarhetsredovisningens potentiella framtid baserat på uttalanden och åsikter från insiktsfulla intervjupersoner tillsammans med de identifierade aktuella utmaningarna.
