Summary of Arena 6/2006
The opening piece on the political concept of the "work-life balance" -- currently very popular in Sweden -- and its liaisons to the new rightwing government, has attracted much interest from readers and other media. The interview with Raquel Pacheco in this issue marks the end of Arena's series on the stigma of the prostitute, a subject that has sparked debate on women's rights to sell sex. The theme of Arena 6/2006 is the city, with three pieces written from very different viewpoints. Published on our website (www.arenagruppen.se/arena) is an additional interview with poet and architect Lars Mikael Raattamaa where he explains how architecture and buildings can oppress people.
