Halberg join three Scanian moonlight farmers and give
us a glimpse of how moonlight farming lets farmers
keep control of their own working hours and their life in
tune with nature. (2/3)
In Skรฅne, the southernmost province of Sweden, some
farmers are choosing to farm by moonlight and hence
form a resistance against industrial upscale farming.
They choose to preserve a certain form of rural life. (1/3)

The research is based on semi-structured interviews with members of both institutions. By examining the concepts of hybridisation and cultural economy, Laukkoski demonstrates that benefits of the collaboration extend beyond financial interests. The article is featured in our latest issue - 55(1)!
In this article, Helena Laukkoski presents a case study of the collaboration between a public museum and a private, profit-driven institution. She argues that the partnership between the Finnish Music Museum Fame and the National Museum of Finland was beneficial for both institutions.
The research is based on autoethnographic work conducted by the two authors during several guided tours of power plants.

A graphic that reads: "The performance of safety and security. "Three, Two, One... No Contamination". Nuclear Power Plant Visits as Rituals of Security and Safety. By Anna Storm and Florence Frรถhlig." In the middle of the graphic is a picture of a safety door, on the door are a couple of info-sheets and stickers for nuclear danger.
In our latest issue, Anna Storm and Florence Frรถhlig present an #ethnography of guided tours of #nuclear power plants. They demonstrate how the strictly regulated ritual of the tour conceals a second meta-ritual that manipulates visitors into accepting the narrative of nuclear power plant safety.
