From a theoretical standpoint in culture psychology Carriere challenges the idea of politics as a particular practice carried out by mainly politicians. Instead, he attempts to anchor processes of politics in the everyday lives of individuals, directed at changing their worlds. In this article, we discuss how this ambition could evolve even further by relating it to other theoretical approaches working with similar ambitions.

Artiklen forsøger dernæst at forklare kritikkens fortsatte relevans og mangeartede funktioner, men også nogle af dens mange interne stridspunkter, ikke mindst mellem på den ene side det, vi kan kalde social kritik, inspireret af bla. Marx og på den anden side kultur-refleksiv kritik, inspireret af bla. Foucault. Afslutningsvis argumenterer artiklen for, at den kritiske tradition, uanset teoretisk aftapning, i dag konfronterer nogle særlige udfordringer, der inviterer til, at vi øver os i at søge gensidig inspiration i vores teoretiske forskelle, frem for blot at se afstand og uforenelighed.

Low Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs) are the technology of choice for this timing application. Several test beam campaigns are performed to evaluate sensor performance. A Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) coupled to a quartz crystal is used as a timing reference, providing resolutions < 20 ps. A new readout and support board was developed for the upcoming test beam campaigns along with a 3D printed light-tight enclosure and support structure. The design, fabrication and assembly of the new timing reference system are presented.

Denne artikel giver et bud på, hvorfor vi befinder os i denne situation. Argumentationen bygges op ved først at diskutere frihedsbegrebets komplekse karakter og iboende dilemmaer. På baggrund heraf identificeres et faelles kantiansk udgangspunkt i moderne demokratitaenkning, managementteori, nyliberalisme og populaere kritiske kulturrefleksive perspektiver. Diskussionen saetter fokus på skellet mellem politik og arbejdsliv, samt mellem offentligt og privat, men ender op med at identificere en gennemgående problematisk antagelse om et refleksivt autonomt subjekt. På baggrund heraf diskuteres, hvordan denne antagelse ikke alene muliggør og understøtter en saerlig politisk logik, men også peger på en »blind vinkel« i ellers vigtige og indsigtsfulde kritiske kulturrefleksive perspektiver som fx dekonstruktion. Problemet indkredses til at omhandle en manglende opmaerksomhed på den menneskelige refleksions dialektik. Der argumenteres for, at denne mangel vanskeliggør en radikal udfordring og/eller udvikling af det nyliberale perspektiv. Slutteligt kan forfatteren ikke dy sig for at adressere artiklens underliggende antydninger af den fortsatte relevans af Marx' taenkning.

Firstly, the article is an attempt to contribute to discussions about what a Marxist psychology might look like, from an impression of Marx and Marxism generally having much too little to say about people’s everyday lives and the situated and practical aspects of people’s mental life. Secondly, the article links this discussion to the relationship between method and critical thinking and the importance of a critical position that does not voice critique from some potentially totalizing platform, nor from some detached position of “nowhere”. The former is a risk in much Marxist theorizing. The latter is a risk in much post-structuralist critique, as discussed in relation to the work of Michel Foucault. Finally, taking a point of departure in an empirical example and ideas from German-Danish critical psychology, the text’s overall ambition is to outline and discuss how a subject-scientific psychology can include and develop its attention to the ...

The interest in conflicts in social practice is rooted in a preoccupation with social power relations and how to understand and analyse power relations from a subject-science perspective. Following this interest, a methodological framework, best described as a kind of ‘mobile ethnography’, is discussed and exemplified through an empirical example. A preliminary conceptual framework for understanding power as a capacity for action is presented. The overarching ambition of the article is to consider what democratic collaboration and coexistence entails and how it might be supported conceptually and analytically by the notion of conflicts as heuristics for social inquiry and by the notion of power as a capacity for action and social participation. The dilemmas of everyday life Reading through the morning paper, we might frown with outrage if we come a...
