- This chapter explores discourses of exceptionalism, their embeddedness in particular contextual landscapes, exclusions, and transnational circulations across the global North, East and South. Based on a conversation between the authors around the ways in which national exceptionalism is articulated in three seemingly different landscapes – Scandinavian countries, Russia, and Turkey – the chapter highlights the relational and contextual character of particular discourses of exceptionalism, be they celebratory, pessimistic or characterised by a sense of urgency. Drawing on interdisciplinary scholarship on genders, sexualities, and (trans-) nationalisms, we explore how these discourses are entwined with notions of modernity, national sovereignty, and superiority, contingent on the exclusion of racialized, classed, and sexualized others. While exceptionalism is no coherent or unified discourse but should rather be seen as ambiguous, hybrid, and varied, we argue that as a concept it provides a fruitful analytical entrance to transnational feminist theorizing, enabling an understanding of the systemic as well as historically specific dynamics involved in activist practices and gender and sexual politics. Our findings call attention to the role of exceptionalism in the global co-construction of ‘leaders’ and ‘victims’ in discourses of gender equality and women’s and LGBTI+ rights.

Unsettling the political : conceptualizing the political in feminist and LGBTI+ activism across Russia, the Scandinavian countries, and Turkey

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article aims to expand the ongoing theoretical debate on the broadened and context-specific notion of politics by offering an empirically nuanced conceptualization of political based on the study of feminist and LGBTI+ activism in Russia, Turkey, and the Scandinavian countries. We use a multi-scalar transnational approach to foreground connectivities across regions to challenge the nation-bound and state-centric perspectives on politics and reveal its variant formulations beyond the formal-informal divide. Case studies from feminist and LGBTI+ activists and LGBTI+ minority organizations demonstrate the contextually specific ways of inhabiting or distancing from politics. Drawing on an interdisciplinary feminist scholarship and a Gramscian approach to civil society, we challenge the narrow articulation of politics either as antagonism or contestation. In doing so, we highlight the political expressions that do not neatly fit in the expected forms of politics yet are motivated by a commitment to shape new ways of living together.

- This article aims to expand the ongoing theoretical debate on the broadened and context-specific notion of politics by offering an empirically nuanced conceptualization of the political based on the study of feminist and lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and intersex (LGBTI+) activism in Russia, Turkey, and the Scandinavian countries. We use a multi-scalar transnational approach to foreground connectivities across regions to challenge nation-bound and state-centric perspectives on politics and reveal the various formulations beyond the formal/informal divide. Case studies from feminist and LGBTI+ activists and minority organizations demonstrate context-specific ways of inhabiting or distancing from politics. Drawing on interdisciplinary feminist scholarship and a Gramscian approach to civil society, we challenge the narrow articulation of politics either as antagonism or contestation.

Conferencing in times of climate crisis and Covid-19: feminist and queer reflections on the digital shift in academic work
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Globalizations. - 1474-7731.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article employs a holistic understanding of environmental, social, and economic sustainability to explore the interaction between neoliberalism, climate crisis, digitalization, and academic work with a focus on its everyday aspects. Drawing our experience of organizing an online conference during the Covid-19 pandemic and our dialogue with conference participants, we first problematize the presumed disembodiment of digital exchange and suggest a nuanced understanding of physicality’s role in knowledge production. We then explore the impact of the changing times and spaces of academic work on bodies and minds and the boundaries between private and public realms. Finally, we challenge the notion of digital solutionism by highlighting the implications of inhabiting digital platforms as spaces for knowledge production. While there is no simple solution to the problems around the digital shift in academic work and conferencing, we argue, downsizing can be a counteraction to platform capitalism in times of the climate crisis.
