Översikt av svensk medieforskning om invandring och etnisk mångfald

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Inom den svenska medie- och kommunikationsvetenskapen är forskningen kring migration och etnisk mångfald ett relativt nedprioriterat ämne. Det kan te sig märkligt i en tid kännetecknad av stora migrationsrörelser som förändrat samhället till att bli allt mer etniskt och kulturellt heterogent. Dessa samhällsförändringar har konsekvenser för det offentliga samtalet. I mitt bidrag ger jag en översikt av vad som forskats om i Sverige och försöker avslutningsvist ge några svar på varför det finns ett relativt lågt intresse för ämnet.

Anti-gender politics in the populist moment
- 2021
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This book charts the new phase of global struggles around gender equality and sexual democracy: the ultraconservative mobilization against "gender ideology" and feminist efforts to counteract it. It argues that anti-gender campaigns, which emerged around 2010 in Europe, are not a simple continuation of the anti-feminist backlash dating back to the 1970s, but part of a new political configuration. Opposition to "gender" has become a key element of the rise of right-wing populism, which successfully harnesses the anxiety, shame and anger caused by neoliberalism and threatens to destroy liberal democracy. Anti-Gender Politics in the Populist Moment offers a novel conceptualization of the relationship between the ultraconservative anti-gender movement and right-wing populist parties, examining the opportunistic synergy between these actors. The authors map the anti-gender campaigns as a global movement, putting the Polish case in a comparative perspective. They show that the anti-gender rhetoric is best understood as a reactionary critique of neoliberalism as a socio-cultural formation. The book also studies the recent wave of feminist mass mobilizations, viewing the transnational revolt of women as a left populist movement. This is an important study for those doing research in politics, cultural studies, gender and sexuality studies and sociology. It will also be useful for activists and policy makers.

Gender and Illiberal Politics

In: The Oxford Handbook of Illiberalism. - Oxford : Oxford University Press. - 9780197639108 - 9780197639139

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This chapter argues that gender plays a key role in the illiberal project of demonizing liberalism by reducing it to its sociocultural dimension and by culturalizing political cleavages. It explores what is meant by "resistance to gender" and how this trend resonates with core features of the illiberal worldview: its anti-modernism, anti-globalism, anti-individualism, and post-postmodernism. While anti-genderism's origins are religious, the role of religion in illiberal anti-gender politics is often instrumental. We provide evidence of the convergence between illiberalism and anti-genderism from countries such as Poland, Hungary, Sweden, Spain, and the United States. Finally, the chapter discusses existing conceptualizations of the relationship between anti-genderism on the one hand and illiberalism as well as populism on the other. We propose the concept of opportunistic synergy to capture the growing ideological affinity and developing political collaboration between religious fundamentalists, ultraconservative civil-society actors, and right-wing politicians.

‘The West Is Trying Too Hard’ : Gender and the Right-Wing Critique of Globalization
- 2024

In: Critical Sociology. - : Sage Publications. - 0896-9205 .- 1569-1632.
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper examines how the term ‘gender’ has been re-signified by the right-wing actors in contemporary struggles around globalization. First, we offer a chronology of debates concerning global diffusion of gender norms, tracing the consolidation of various groups into the anti-gender movement. The next section discusses how gender and globalization intersect in discursive strategies of anti-gender actors. We show that they target international institutions and norms portraying them as a western cosmopolitan force, claiming to speak on behalf of local populations and obfuscating their transnational embeddedness. The aim is to moralize and blur the boundaries between the local and the global—a strategy we call chameleon tactics. The final part examines how chameleon tactics unfolded in the specific context of the 2019 ICPD25 Summit in Nairobi, Kenya, and how an anti-globalist frame was used to blur the global identity of anti-gender organizations present there.

Journal article (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Gender matters in global politics. After the US elections, we know this better than ever: the mass appeal of Trump’s blatant misogyny is just a part of the problem. Populism in the US and elsewhere feeds not only on economic instability and fear, but also on anxieties around gender relations, (homo)sexuality and reproduction. In country after country, critiques of what conservatives (especially Catholics) term “gender” or “genderism” – gender equality policies, sex education, LGBTQ and reproductive rights – have helped to mobilize men as well as women, paving the way for populist leaders. This article argues that while opposition to feminism and gender equality policies is not new, the current upsurge marks a departure from the previous neoconservative paradigm: social conservatism is now explicitly linked to hostility towards global capital.

Går det att utkräva ansvar för megaprojekt? Fallet Nya Karolinska Solna

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I maj 2015 publicerade Svenska Dagbladet den första artikeln i det som skulle utvecklas till en omfattande och kritisk granskning av det nya universitetssjukhuset i Solna. Lagom till att sjukhuset började ta fysisk form hade "världens bästa" kommit att bli "världens dyraste" i medierapporteringen om bygget. Det som var tänkt att bli ett toppmodernt universi-tetssjukhus som skulle ge sjukvård, forskning och utbildning i "världsklass" kom under projektets slutfas att i stället bli för-knippat med skandal och kris. Men samtidigt som "mediehändelsen" Nya Karolinska Solna (NKS) var kort och intensiv, har det som varit föremål för diskussion - projektets beslutsprocess - varit lång och invecklad. Det är en process som har pågått under femton års tid. Vi diskuterar här den betydelse som utsträckningen i tid har för det demokratiska samtalet kring beslut om megaprojekt som NKS. Vår analys av NKS visar att den långa tiden utgör en styrande faktor i sig genom vilken beslutsprocessen och dess förutsättningar formas. Det handlar om att lösningar kan låsas in på ett visionsstadium - då framtiden är på betryggande avstånd - det handlar om att beslut sker successivt och att bindningar skapas bakåt i tiden, och det handlar om att det gemensamma minnet tenderar att försvagas över tid. Vi menar att detta ställer särskilda krav på hur beslutsprocesserna organiseras för att kunna säkerställa att de lever upp till centrala offentligrättsliga värden om öppenhet, deltagande och saklighet.

Public Organisations as News Producers : An odd species in the local media landscape
- 2019
-
In: Nordicom Review. - : Walter de Gruyter GmbH. - 1403-1108 .- 2001-5119. ; 40:2, s. 85-100
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The purpose of this article is to shed light on a new phenomenon in the media landscape, namely public organisations taking on the role of news producers. The analysis focuses on the digital news site VGRfokus, which is run by the Swedish county council Region Västra Götaland (VGR). The articulated goal of VGRfocus is to fill a perceived news gap in the county. Using previous literature on hyperlocal media as a lens for the analysis, we discuss how a regional news outlet produced by a public organisation can be characterised and understood. Based on our case study, we show that, while VGRfokus partly resembles other newcomers, it also has features that make it a very special news producer. This distinctiveness relates in particular to the fact that VGRfokus is part of a large, public organisation and holds ambitions to promote the work of the county council and represent its geographical area. This places issues concerning trustworthiness and credibility at the centre of the discussion and raises questions about democratic implications.
