Ulf Hannerz, (born June 9, 1942 in Malmö) is a Swedish anthropologist. He is currently an emeritus professor of social anthropology at Stockholm University.[1] He is also a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.[2][3]<br />Hannerz's research interests includes urban societies, local media cultures, transnational cultural processes, and globalization. His works Soulside and Exploring the City are classic books in the area of urban anthropology.[4]<br />Hannerz is the author of “Cosmopolitans and Locals in World Culture” (1990). His theory essentially explores cosmopolitanism from the analysis of expatriates.<br />In 2000, Hannerz delivered the Lewis Henry Morgan Lecture at the University of Rochester,[2] considered by many to be the most important annual lecture series in the field of Anthropology.[5]<br />In 2005, he received an honorary doctorate from The Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Oslo<br />Hannerz gained some notability as a child, when he appeared on the first episode of the television game show Kvitt eller dubbelt - 10.000 kronorsfrågan (literally: Double or Nothing - The 10,000 Kronor Question), which was based on the American television show The $64,000 Question.[7] In the first episode, aired on 12 January 1957, 14-year-old Hannerz presented by his nickname Hajen (The Shark), was quizzed on the subject "tropical aquarium fish". Hannerz succeeded in winning 10,000 Kronor in spite of a judgement error in the program. The judge asked him which of the seven displayed fish had lids. He answered "hundfisk¨" (mudminnow). No, the judge said, it's "slamkrypare" (mudskipper); he wanted to dismiss young Ulf from the game show. However, Ulf Hannerz was indeed correct and the name slamkrypare (mudskipper) entered the Swedish language as a term for a cocksure, but incorrect, assertion.[<br />
