    Parenting the nation: state violence and reproduction in Nicaragua and Sweden2023Inngår i: Struggles for reproductive justice in the era of anti-genderism and religious fundamentalism / [ed] Diana Mulinari; Marta Kolankiewicz; Rebecca Selberg, London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2023, s. 213-240Kapittel i bok, del av antologi (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    Reproduction is a core question for the state, a site of struggle between the reproduction of the nation and the reproduction of liveable lives, especially for those citizens whose rights are rarely recognized in the first place. What role does the exceptionalisation of reproductive rights play in the reproduction of the nation-state? Nicaragua and Sweden are countries where debates about reproductive justice highlight tensions in the projection of a state that cares for its citizens. Nicaragua, the second-poorest country in the Western hemisphere with one of the most repressive and punitive legislations on abortion in the world. Sweden with its reputation as a pioneering nation in matters of gender equality and reproductive justice. This chapter draws on a particular formulation of the centrality of the state in theories and practices of reproductive justice: the notion of the state as a parent with a particular responsibility to protect and foster, but also discipline and subjugate, its citizens. Political leaders, Fathers and Mothers of the Nation, form the discourse within which the state regulates its imagined children’s, the citizens, reproductive rights. As such the governance of reproduction is a vital aspect of the political fantasy about the nation-state and its futuriority.

    Pluralistic struggles in gender, sexuality and coloniality: challenging Swedish exceptionalism2021Collection/Antologi (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    This open access book seeks to understand how politics is being made in a pluralistic sense, and explores how these political struggles are challenging and transforming gender, sexuality, and colonial norms. As researchers located in Sweden, a nation often cited as one of the most gender-equal and LGBTQ-tolerant nations, the contributions investigate political processes, decolonial struggles, and events beyond, nearby, and in between organizations, states, and national territories. The collection represents a variety of disciplines, and different theoretical conceptualizations of politics, feminist theory, and postcolonial and queer studies. Students and researchers with an interest of queer studies, gender studies, critical whiteness studies, and civil society studies will find this book an invaluable resource.

    "25 dollar rebel": Identity politics, Legislation and Class in stories from Lesbian Activists in Nicaragua2010Inngår i: Dissident Citizenship: Queer Postcolonial Belonging: Programme Information & Abstracts, 2010Konferansepaper (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [en]

    One interviewee says she has always been a marimacha, another view herself as a lesbian identified with gay men and a third talk about the importance of being a woman and not a cochóna. At manifestations they all have t-shirts with a person screaming “Soy Rebelde, Soy lesbiana, Soy mujer, Soy Ciudadana!!!” and “Exijo mis Derechos!”. The common political symbols and rhetoric are a huge part of the campaigns for sexual diversity, towards being able to exist as a sexual minority and a Nicaraguan citizen. To get finance for the work towards “sexual freedom”, identity politics is absolutely necessary. Fighting for acknowledge GLBT rights (in the ‘west’), are legitimate reasons for funding through international non-governmental organizations. Through this perspective identity politics, rather than queer theory, seem to be part of a colonial heritage. Hence categories such as lesbian, gay and trans- are presented as liberating space in the work for “a sexuality free from prejudice” and I find it interesting to ask how, why and when the identity-labels are being used.One important goal for the lesbian activists in Nicaragua is still visibility – to be recognized and accepted as lesbian women. In 1992 a law against same-sex, Article 204, was initiated and upheld by the Nicaraguan Supreme Court in 1994. The main target of article 204 was not women; but the initiative was part of an increased security for (heterosexual) women. Fortunately the article was abolished 2008, when a new Penal Code was drafted. Hence as in so many places and for such a long time the sexuality of women has been ignored in the legislation. On top of this, lesbian women generally have a hard time getting an independent life in Nicaragua. Women in the popular classes are often expected to take care of a common household and are economically dependent on male relatives. In the following paper I will discuss strategies to survive as a lesbian and lesbianism as part of survival as a queer citizen in Nicaragua.

    Feminist ethnographies: methodological reflections in gender research2023Collection/Antologi (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [en]

    Can there really be a feminist ethnography?

    The question was asked decades ago, and we need to return to it. Feminist ethnographic ideals about trust, collaboration and exchange of knowledge are important but not necessarily easy. 

    The following book is the result of discussions about reflexivity, ethics, and subject positions in ethnographic work within interdisciplinary gender studies. What do positionality and ethical considerations mean in our ethnographic work today? In this anthology nine researchers, from six disciplines, explore this area anchored in their ongoing research.

    InterNacionalistas: identifikation och främlingskap i svenska solidaritetsarbetares berättelser från Nicaragua2007Doktoravhandling, monografi (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this thesis is to explore what solidarity workers from Sweden narrate about and from activities in Nicaragua. I focus on how identities reflect nationalising, racialising and gendering imaginations, and how these are being handled within the context of an international solidarity movement – with the ambition to strive for global justice.

    My search for answers takes its point of departure in a wide gender-oriented postcolonial perspective. With an understanding of identities and places as relational and plastic, postcolonial theory attempts to see the inevitable dilemmas of colonialism, to visualise people who have been sacrificed in the name of colonialism and nationalism. It is a theoretical field concerned with the struggle for the word, values and actions categorised by a (post)colonial order. The dissertation is divided into six chapters. After the introductory chapter, chapter 2 contains a discussion of the concept solidarity as a valuable designation for these activities, connected to a national self-image and as a determining factor for the informants' understanding of their identities.

    One fundamental theme in this study is the tension concerning “white”, “western”, “Swedish” solidarity workers speaking for and working with people in Nicaragua. In Chapter 3, “To make oneself trustworthy”, I take a closer look at this and discusses how the interviewees verbalised strategies to handle possible positions and the paradoxes of their employment. In chapter 4 “Nationalising gender”, I examine the speech of women, men, machismo and gender equality – and how they interrelate with other factors within the stories from the period in Nicaragua.

    The difficulties to intervene as a Swedish volunteer or coordinator in Nicaragua were well known among the interviewees/narrators and their organisations. How and what activities for change could be in different parts of the world were, and are, repeated questions within (at least this part of) the Swedish international solidarity movement. This is one reason why the solidarity organisations emphasised the importance of creating space for social change via information and moulding of public opinion. In Chapter five, “Describe Nicaragua”, I analyse the written stories by solidarity workers. I take departure in a few of the dominating themes and clarify how Nicaragua was mediated to a Swedish speaking reader. I argue that the stories of the solidarity workers are captured between recognising difference and creating stereotypes and exotic projections. Even though their object is the opposite, they tend to produce representations which demand the Other to stay in the place of difference. In the very last part I discuss some problems with being the “voice of the poor”.

    The dissertation concludes with a short summary of some of the most central themes. Here I refer to the narrated liminality and inherited boundaries of the employment. I discuss the anti-imperialist and feminist work with a national dead weight and the efforts to create alternative images and translocal subject positions. I end the study by reflecting on the difficulties of an internationalist “we” and with reference to Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, I call for “unlearning our privileges as our loss”.

    Solidaritet och representation: En analys av artiklar om utsatta arbeterskor i nicaraguanska frihandelszoner2005Konferansepaper (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [sv]

    NICARAGUANSKA PÅ SVENSKA – EN REPRESENTATION AV UTSATTHET?

    I svensk allmänmedia finns ingen fördjupad bevakning av händelser i kontinenter som Latinamerika och Afrika. Katastrof eller exotism utgör regel snarare än undantag i bilderna från många delar av världen, däribland Nicaragua. När svenska biståndsarbetare tjänstgör i Nicaragua förväntas de förmedla kunskap om landet till Sverige. I artiklar och resebrev artikuleras berättelser om regionen.

    Biståndsarbetares skildringar av landet handlar i stor utsträckning om att teckna ”fattigdomens ansikten”, ofta i kontrast till Sverige. Att synliggöra och skapa intresse för världens orättvisor är en del av organisationernas mål med informationsarbetet. Men representationer av utsatthet repeterar samtidigt gränser för föreställningar om liv i denna region. I efterföljande paper har jag för avsikt att undersöka (o)möjligheten att skapa alternativa bilder av Nicaragua. En central fråga kommer att vara: Är det görligt att informera om landet till svenska läsare utan att reproducera stereotyper? Texten knyter an till teorier om översättning, identitet och postkolonialitet.

    Abstract [en]

    Narratives about Europeans entering so called premodern cultures have a long tradition, and “tribetv” based on arranged visits from Europeans to “the world’s remotest tribes” has become a growing genre today. In the documentary Tribal Wives, six British women where described as experiencing cultures that had “hardly changed in centuries” and getting one month to reflect over their habits and priorities in life. In search for contrasts between female lives, love and heterosexual contracts the program turn into self-representations based on Eurocentric imaginations. Tribal Wives become a therapeutic journey (set by BBC) aiming to heal modern souls, an adventure to pre-historic land with forgotten truths for the modern woman to bring back to the future.

    Testimonio and representation: An analysis of articles about women workers in Nicaraguan free trade zones2005Inngår i: Politics conference: Sixth Essex Graduate Conference in Political Theory ‘Difference, borders, others’, 2005Konferansepaper (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [en]

    The following presentation discusses representation and testimonio in Swedish information on Nicaraguan women workers that has been produced by so called ‘development workers’. In Spanish the word testimonio is literally translated as ‘testimony’, as in the act of testifying or bearing witness in a legal or religious sense. In articles such as “The slave market in Nicaragua is growing” and “Karla – an ordinary robot” the journalist and development worker, Victoria Myrén, translates and mediates stories by women workers in Nicaraguan free trade zones for Swedish speaking readers. The articles express a sense of urgency to communicate experiences of repression and a desire to represent the way marginalized positions are used to legitimate capitalist recolonizing. In an attempt to demonstrate the suffering of women within the free trade zones, the articles position the reader as a jury in a courtroom listening to close descriptions of violations. The story of Karla Manzanares (translated and mediated by Myrén) depicts colonial domination, economic exploitation, sexism and racism.

    In this paper I argue that by speaking out, re-establishing a ‘voice’, Karla is also re-inscribing a subordinate position in society. The contradictions inherent in the project of representing the subaltern and simultaneously deconstructing the discourses that constitute the subaltern are evident. As Gayatri Spivak has pointed out, the recovery of the ‘voice’ of the subaltern also entails its erasure, since the mode of representation given in testimonio is no longer located in the space of subalternity but is instead more like a ‘ventriloquist’s dummy’.

    Karla’s written destiny stand for something inhuman happening in a country far away. The image of the tragic woman worker capture our fears. Like a safe place to contain horrible things in the world, she becomes a projection of desire for the solution of insoluble conflicts. These stories about Karla and other women workers are emancipatory actions yet they also act as surfaces of projection for desire, disgust and anger. This paper therefore explores the fine balance between mediating testimonios and reconstructing an image of Nicaraguan woman as the Other, as a negative mirror to the idea of white, western (Swedish) women.

    What's the Fuss?: In search for the inscrutable andropause in Sweden2023Konferansepaper (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    In 2002, in the Swedish Medical National Assembly, the question of whether there is something that can be medically defined as a male menopause and how the hormonal transition should be perceived regarding men's bodies was dealt with. The term andropause, investigated and discussed early by urologists during the 1940s has parallels to menopause and is used to describe a period characterized by reduced physical and sexual ability. 

    Twenty years after the Medical Assembly an expert group for endocrine diseases in Stockholm presented results which showed that more men are worried about testosterone levels and the prescription of testosterone has increased in recent years, despite the lack of studies showing the benefit of treatment in many male patients. Together, studies from 1940s up to contemporary time reflect what STS-professor Nelly Oudshoorn (1994) has emphasised, that biomedical discourses change as part of technical medical development and shift in response to changes in society. When reading through medical articles there is not much disagreement regarding general biological changes in men's bodies. So why is it important to investigate and debate the existence of andropause, and how can we understand the affective reactions today? The following paper take as a starting point ethnographic work and media material on andropause in a Swedish context. Through feminist thinking on biomedicalisation, the material about the phenomena is being analysed and issues being raised regarding masculinity, age and health in contemporary neoliberal and biocapital times.

    Solidaritet i samexistens: om ett begrepp värt att värna2023Inngår i: Feminism och konvivialitet: samexistens, oenighet, hopp / [ed] Lena Martinsson; Diana Mulinari, Malmö: Gleerups Utbildning AB, 2023, s. 25-35Kapittel i bok, del av antologi (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [sv]

    I följande kapitel står termen solidaritet i centrum för vår undersökning. Solidaritet är ett begrepp som ofta uppfattas som entydigt positivt, men det kan användas på många olika sätt. Det används av enskilda personer, av olika grupper och det kan få olika konsekvenser. Vi har tidigare studerat olika rörelser och grupper som använder sig av det och slagits av den bredd av betydelser som termen tillskrivs. I en samtid när ordet har blivit populärt att använda inom politiken och i vardagligt tal, ser vi det som angeläget att uppmärksamma risker med ett oreflekterat bruk och manar till att se solidaritet som ett begrepp att värna och omsätta i praktik. I antologin utgör denna del således ett bidrag till hur vi som forskare kan stanna upp och reda i till synes självklara ord. I kapitlet diskuterar vi därför dess mångtydiga innebörd i relation till bokens röda tråd: konvivialitet, att leva tillsammans.

    Troubling solidarity: anti-racist protest in a digitalized time2018Inngår i: Women's Studies Quarterly, ISSN 0732-1562, E-ISSN 1934-1520, Vol. 46, nr 3-4, s. 120-136Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    Racist hate crimes have increased in Sweden since 2006 when reports started, but they have also been followed by a variety of protests. This article analyzes the so-called #HijabUppropet (#HijabOutcry), a call initiated by Muslim feminist activists in response to a racist attack on a Muslim woman, which encouraged all "sisters" in Sweden to temporarily veil themselves in solidarity. The hijab outcry was widely heard and both celebrated and debated. Drawing on postcolonial feminist theory, this article shows how the initial protest against racism was partly reduced to a matter of being for or against the veil and the right to choose. Despite intentions to normalize the veil, the flow of comments and pictures on social media turned veils into examples of odd, exotic, and beautiful elements that enrich Swedish culture. The white secular subject was again reinstalled as the ideal and it seemed as though Muslim women could not pass as agents of Swedish feminist solidarity. Yet, at the same time, the debate in the aftermath of the hijab outcry had the effect of initiating an uneasy feeling of not belonging among white non-Muslim participators. This was a feeling that might affect future acts of solidarity—confronting a Swedish context of secular pride and whiteness—where Muslim women must struggle to be recognized as political subjects.

    A conversation about the state in pandemic times: Necropolitics and the legacy of social democracy in Sweden and Nicaragua2021Inngår i: Kulturella perspektiv - Svensk etnologisk tidskrift, ISSN 1102-7908, Vol. 30, nr 2-3Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    Established ideas about state responsibility and state violence are placed in a new light in times characterized as states of emergency. The following conversation addresses the role of the state in the safeguarding of public health, taking its departure in media debates and political debates about state responsibility in two countries that have been criticized for not taking strong enough measures to protect the very futuriority of the nation in times of a pandemic Sweden and Nicaragua. Both countries have been castigated for avoiding total lockdown and for having taken a passive approach to what Wendy Brown has called “the political management of the virus” (Brown 2020). At the same time, the rhetoric used to describe their respective strategies has differed vastly in dialogue we explore notions about governance, biopolitics and necropolitics as they are articulated and negotiated in national contexts that claim the label social democracies. One of the points of departure is that while the response to Covid-19 is often described in war metaphors, and hence as a state of emergency, the unjust and unequal distribution of life and death is by no means exceptional.

    Mensmakt & menopower: Det starka subjektets expansion i självhjälpslitteratur om övergångsåldrar och hormoner2022Inngår i: Book of abstracts, Karlstad: Karlstads universitet , 2022Konferansepaper (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [sv]

    Menstruation och klimakteriet har fått förnyad aktualitet i Sverige: i radio, tv-program, poddar och på sociala medier har dessa övergångsåldrar fått stor uppmärksamhet under de senaste fem åren. Det märks inte minst i den självhjälpslitteratur som riktar sig till den menstruerande flickan och till kvinnan i klimakteriet. I bästsäljande böcker om hormoner och deras inverkan på våra kroppar får den medelålders kvinnan råd om hur hon kan hantera hormonsvägningar från pre- till post-menopaus på ett alltmer intrikat sätt. Parallellt får flickan i puberteten via handböcker om mens stärkande tips och råd om hur hon bäst kan bemästra den hormonella omställning som påverkar henne. I denna presentation sätter vi dessa berättelser i kontakt med varandra och reflekterar över vad de säger om vår samtids syn på övergångsåldrar och åldrande. Vad är det som ska undvikas? Vad är det som ska vinnas? Syftet är att utforska hur denna litteratur skildrar önskade och oönskade subjektspositioner – före, innan och efter den hormonella övergång som beskrivs. Vi återvänder till teorier om åldrande och sårbarhet. Resultaten visar att dessa övergångsberättelser har en feministisk potential men också återinstallerar det ”starka subjekt” som feministisk och queerteoretisk forskning sökt att destabilisera. I presentationen funderar vi på var otidsenliga fenomen som skam, sårbarhet och ickekontroll hör hemma i samtidens powerfeministiska diskurs.

    Hypogonadism: Diagnosis, Masculinity, and Capital in Narratives about Testosterone deficiency2023Inngår i: Norma, ISSN 1890-2138, E-ISSN 1890-2146, Vol. 18, nr 1, s. 5-20Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    For centuries, male hypogonadism has been defined as a clinical syndrome caused by the inability to produce physiological concentrations of testosterone and/or normal amount of sperm. In 2020, an information campaign started in Sweden with the ambition of increasing knowledge about hypogonadism and (lack of) testosterone, targeting both men and healthcare providers. In this study, we take a closer look at media discussions in Sweden on hypogonadism over the period 2018–2021. Through feminist thinking on biomedicalisation, we analyse the media material about the phenomena and issues being raised regarding masculinity, age and health in contemporary neoliberal and biocapital times. For some people, hypogonadism is a severe condition, but we can also see that the diagnosis becomes a response to a wide range of symptoms, expanding the realm for diagnostic practices and tying into normative ideas about age, time and lacking or fading masculinity. The media narratives about hypogonadism not only reflect cultural norms regarding masculinity and the plasticity of diagnoses but also create desires, needs and markets.

    Abstract [en]

    The ban of the burkini in the summer of 2016 in France is the latest stage in a long political history, where the French depreciation or fear of the veil, and of Islam, has come to play a more significant role since the end of the cold war. Unveiling female bodies at the beach in Nice expose conditioned values of the French republic. In this context, drawing black veils on public advertisements becomes a performative act commenting on consumerism, religion, secularity, and the imagined Muslim woman. In this article we discuss freedom and integration in "third spaces" via an analysis of "hijabisation" in street art and the official reactions against certain types of beachwear. In line with Talal Asad (2006) we want to raise the issue on how the secular state addresses the pain of people who are obliged to give up part of their religious identity to become acceptable. Race-thinking was once an explicit part of celebrated values like modernity, secularity, democracy and human rights. However, the fact that the idea of races has been erased from articulations of Western nations and international bodies does not mean that traces of race-thinking in the heritage from the enlightenment are gone. By following Princess Hijab and the "Burkini-gate" a nationalist fantasy intertwined with the idea of the secular state reveals itself and acts of un/dressing emerge as signs of integration revealing a challenged imperialist paradigm.

    Secularities – firstness through religion and gender

    In this article we explore how the positing religion as other simultaneously makes secularism a firstness. How does actors use and embodies secularism and reproduce it as an objective and neutral space – a firstness. The secular subject is being represented as free and rational in contrast to an imagined religious, traditional, and often Muslim other. By studying Swedish contemporary debates about freedom of speech, veils, gender equality, and the in/tolerant society, we aim to unpack how secularism is done in a Swedish neoliberal contemporary context. Inspired by Talal Asad, we wish to contribute to the undermining of the tightly knit weave of secularism, reason and critique in Western discourse.

    Abstract [en]

    In this chapter, we examine the work of the Sámi artist Anders Sunna and the Egyptian artist Bahia Shebab in order to address strategies of artistic criticism of the relations between states and their citizens. Both artists are protesting against contemporary processes relating to space, state and nation, and they express themselves in ways that are embedded in the aesthetics of unsanctioned street art. This expression constitutes an interesting form of politics, situated somewhere in-between, or alongside, party politics and the practices of civil society. Our aim is to describe and discuss what we see as specifically effective and dynamic themes in the chosen artwork — the use of space as object and methodology, and the production of iconic imageries within fantasies of protest. The stencils and spray paintings of Shehab and Sunna offer us keys to exploring efforts to artistically reveal and dismantle national and neocolonial power.

    Balansreceptet: konsten att hantera hormoner i självhjälpslitteraturens hormonberättelser: [The Balance Recipe: The Art of Managing Menopause in Self-help Literature's Hormone stories]2022Inngår i: Kvinder, Køn og Forskning, ISSN 0907-6182, E-ISSN 2245-6937, Vol. 34, nr 2, s. 11-26Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    The balance recipe: the art of managing menopause in the hormone stories of self-help literature 

    In recent years, menopause as a phase of transformation has received great media attention in a Swedish context. It is then not only specifically concerning the time when menstruation ceases – but about a longer period of time when female bodies undergo an adjustment with a focus on hormonal changes. In books such as Hormonstark (Hormone strong) (2020), Perimenopower (2018) and Livet med klimakteriet (Life with Menopause) (2020), the stressed reader in the middle of the career receives knowledge, tips, ideas and inspiring stories about how to deal with the fluctuating hormones that are said to affect the body during menopause. In this article, we start from these books with a poststructuralist feminist perspective on narratives and body control on the hormone stories of self-help literature. The aim is to explore how the literature represents women's menopause and hormonal bodies in a broader sense, and how women are encouraged to act in relation to this. The results show that hormone narratives may have feminist potential, but that they primarily make menopause an individual rather than structural matter. Further, they also reveal a close resemblance between the hormonal narratives and a biocapitalist contemporary, with an aging female body as a lucrative threat.

    Plats att mötas och växa: en kvalitativ studie av öppna mötesplatser i Umeå kommun2024Rapport (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [sv]

    I Umeå kommun finns ett flertal öppna mötesplatser; träffpunkter där människor kan umgås, hålla möten, skapa och uppleva kultur, idrotta, lära sig saker etcetera. I denna rapport presenteras tre av dessa verksamheter: Ersboda Folkets Hus, Kulturhuset Klossen och Mötesplats Stöcke, som alla drivs av civilsamhällesorganisationer. Följande studie baseras primärt på intervjuer med verksamma från mötesplatserna, med syfte att undersöka betydelser för användare, närområdet och för Umeå kommun, vilken roll organisationerna förväntas spela samt vilka förutsättningar de har för att verka. 

    Mötesplatserna beskrivs som mycket viktiga ur flera perspektiv. De bidrar till att främja lokal sammanhållning och en positiv bild av stadsdelen och de ger människor tillgång till samlingslokaler som annars skulle sakna det. Medan kärnverksamheterna kan sägas handla om kultur, nöje, bildning och fysisk aktivitet, så fyller mötesplatserna också viktiga sociala funktioner för många målgrupper. De bidrar till att motverka ensamhet och psykisk ohälsa för den enskilde, och de utgör centrala forum för individuell utveckling och lärande, inte minst för barn och unga. Som lokalt förankrade öppna verksamheter beskrivs mötesplatserna ha en unik potential att främja social hållbarhet i både närområdet och Umeå i stort. 

    Deltagarna lyfter också ett antal utmaningar. Mötesplatserna måste finna en balans mellan öppenhet och trygghet, så att alla besökare känner sig välkomna och trygga i miljön. Det inkluderar en balansgång mellan planering och spontanitet. Deltagarna lyfter att vissa målgrupper behöver mycket låga trösklar, medan andra behöver förväntningar och att aktivt få delta i utformandet av verksamheten. Långsiktig ekonomisk hållbarhet beskrivs vidare som en utmaning för alla organisationer. De erhåller alla olika typer av ekonomiskt stöd från offentliga aktörer, men detta stöd är oftast villkorat och tidsbegränsat och räcker sällan till för vad organisationerna skulle vilja och behöver göra på sikt. Alternativa inkomstkällor är främst viss kommersiell verksamhet respektive sponsring från företag eller privatpersoner. För att fortsätta vara just öppna mötesplatser, till nytta för närområdet, är det dock viktigt att denna typ av finansiering inte gör huset mindre tillgängligt för vissa grupper. 

    Vi vill avslutningsvis betona betydelsen av mötesplatsernas medborgardrivna karaktär. Företrädare från alla verksamheter menar att de skulle kunna bedriva ännu mer social verksamhet, särskilt för barn och unga, om de hade ekonomiska förutsättningar. I det fall mötesplatsernas sociala dimensioner ska utvecklas, vill vi dock framhålla vikten av inte betrakta dem som renodlade serviceproducenter som ska leverera något till de boende. Det är viktigt att värna om mötesplatsernas mervärde och särskilda förtroende, som framstår som nära knutet till deras gräsrotsbaserade verksamhet.

    Finansiell feminism?: Jämställdhet & ekonomi i självhjälpsformat2024Inngår i: Kulturella perspektiv - Svensk etnologisk tidskrift, ISSN 1102-7908, Vol. 33, artikkel-id 14582Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    In a contemporary popular cultural Swedish context, gender equality and economic equality seem to be increasingly formulated in financial terms, through narratives centered around succeeding on the stock market, owning assets or practicing venture capitalism. In this context, self-help books in financial speculation targeting women are marketed with a gender equality narrative. In this article, we focus on how values of feminism, gender equality and economy are shaped and maintained by such books. By effectively hiding power relationships and presenting financial freedom as an attainable goal for everyone and through a condensed narrative of happiness and balance in the future, we read the fantasy of financial freedom as cruel optimism through Lauren Berlant's perspective. The fantasy of financial freedom also produces a feminist subject who, with her investments, both can and should maintain control over her own life and her family as well as navigate around the vulnerabilities of life.

    Conviviality, Pluralistic struggles and scholarships of hope2022Inngår i: Book of abstracts, Karlstad: Karlstads universitet , 2022Konferansepaper (Annet vitenskapelig)
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this round table talk is to discuss the importance of pluralistic and convivial political activism and epistemologies. As a research group we will focus on the outcomes of our joint project The Future of genders and sexualities and a forthcoming book on conviviality. Firstly, we will give examples on how politics is being made in a pluralistic sense and explore how these political struggles are challenging and transforming gender, sexuality, and coloniality locally, nationally and transnationally. As researchers located in Sweden, a nation often cited as gender-equal, anti-racist and LGBTQ-tolerant nations, we will highlight our investigations of political processes, decolonial struggles, and events beyond, nearby, and in between organizations, states, and national territories. We will also highlight examples from research in some other parts of the world that may provide perspectives on struggle locally, nationally and transnationally. Secondly, we will discuss how these different political struggles produce different alternative or counter narratives about possible futures beyond the hegemonic one. Finally, and in connection to the two first topics, we will discuss how and why an emerging conviviality not only is an important focus for research today but also a growing political strategy.

    Heart Rate Distribution during Training and a Domestic League Game in Swedish Elite Female Soccer Players2015Inngår i: Annals of Sports Medicine and Research, ISSN 2379-0571, Vol. 2, nr 4, artikkel-id 1025Artikkel i tidsskrift (Fagfellevurdert)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Soccer is a complex sport with high cardiovascular demands. Preparation for the demands of competition often involves game-simulation practice. This is supposed to improve the physiological adaptions. The main purpose of this study was to compare heart rate (HR) distribution among elite female soccer players during in-season training sessions and a game. Methods: Fifteen players were observed during three regular training sessions, and at a domestic league game using Polar Team2 HR monitors. HR was categorized into HR zones to compare intensities of each activity observed. Results: HR values were significantly higher during the game (HRmean: 168±9 beats per minute (bpm), HRpeak: 189±8 bpm) than during training (HRmean: 134±11 bpm, HRpeak: 183±9 bpm, p<0.001). Players spent 55% of the game and 11% of the total training time at high intensity (HR above 90% of HRpeak, p<0.001).HRmean and HRpeak were significantly higher in the first half compared with the second half of the game (p<0.05). Conclusion: The present study demonstrates higher HR values and longer duration at high intensity during game play in comparison with training, which indicates higher demands on the players' internal load during the game. Thus, the results suggest the need to include high intensity exercise sessions during training.
