Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article analyses what it means to be an ageing female artist in the male dominated world of rock music. Our material consists of gig reviews and interviews. The ageing woman appears like an anomaly because she can no longer fulfill the role of the sex object. Patti Smith seems to be an exception to the rule and that is, among other things, because of her androgynous image.

Skräckskönt : en etnologisk studie
- 2006
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of the present study is to explore how horror movie fans use the films to gain access to certain emotions, and the discussions to which the movies give rise. Through this, I hope to attain a deeper understanding of how the horror movie fan chooses to view the genre. While horror movie fans experience a raft of emotions as they watch, this is not the whole story; they also reflect upon these emotions and question certain responses, eg. why laugh at one form of violence but not the next, or how can one killer elicit empathy in the viewer while others do not. In order to understand this popular genre I have based my thesis mainly on interviews with the actual horror film fan, here represented by 9 women and 11 men. Special emphasis in the theoretical body is placed on Bakhtin’s notion of the grotesque, a ”world turned upside-down”, and dialogical truth. The horror movie fan might be described in the same fashion – as someone who through the films he watches sees and acknowledges an alternative cultural system which is otherwise suppressed. They can experiment with ideas of other kinds of rules, norms and hierarchies than those already in place in society. The horror movie fans talk about special themes as more important than others, and these “key symbols” have helped in constructing the thesis. I have for that reason formed the analysis in the region of emotions like fear, disgust and desires, but also more intellectual discussions on film violence and evil. It is clear that a controlled sense of fear is one of the main forces sparking the initial interest the informants felt for horror and urging them forward in their quest for more. It is also clear that feelings of disgust the horror movies evoke are a part of the fans’ discussions about the world and the evil therein. The horror movie fans speak about evil as something inherent in everyone, and something which must be acknowledged in order to live a “full” life. Despite of all this I consider pure enjoyment and entertainment to be the very foundation of their shared interest, and that the horror movie fans try to make strong distinctions between “fact” and “fiction”. These conscious distinctions could also be one of the reasons that the fans find these types of movies entertaining. Those who are incapable to make these clear distinctions are therefore, more or less, unable to see the purpose of the fascination with horror narratives.

Min mormor : Kvinnoliv i en annan tid
- 2023. - 1

Bok (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Anna från Bäckaby reste som 16-åring till New York, gifte sig och blev änka när maken dog i första världskriget. Hon for hem till Småland och blev bondhustru. Den unga Esther arbetade i Berlin på 1910-talet, mötte kärleken och förlovade sig. Men fästmannen stupade i kriget och hon fick sprätta upp monogrammen på sitt brudlinne. I Norrköping blev hon rådmanshustru och värdinna i ett borgerligt hem. Kajsa levde sitt liv i Frostviken i ett småbrukarhem. Hon var den ostyriga flickan som förvandlades till myndig husmor, som uppfostrade sina barn i Herrans tukt och förmaning. Andra världskriget kom obehagligt nära då tyska desertörer flög så lågt över gården, att man kunde se deras ansikten inne i planet. Anna från Masthugget växte upp i Göteborgs arbetarkvarter, där hon upplevde Storstrejken 1909 och 1917 års hungerkravaller. Hennes man arbetade vid Statens järnvägar och när det svenska folkhemmet tog form fick familjen det allt bättre. Dessa kvinnors livshistoria berättar om tidens kvinnoideal och utvecklingen från ett fattigt land i Europas utkant till välfärdsstaten Sverige. I Min mormor skildrar fyra etnologer på ett personligt sätt sina mormödrars liv.

Gatans politik. Göteborgsdemonstrationerna juni 2001. Ur mediernas, polisernas och demonstranternas perspektiv
- 2002
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Händelserna i samband med EU-toppmötet i Göteborg i juni 2001 väckte en mängd frågor om synen på demokrati och Sverige som rättsstat. Denna tvärvetenskapliga antologi problematiserar skeendet utifrån olika forskningsperpektiv med skilda källmaterial, metoder och teoretiska utgångspunkter. Attityder och värderingar hos några av de inblandade huvudaktörerna granskas. De olika bilderna ställs mot varandra: aktivisternas mot polisernas, alternativpressens mot riks- och lokaltidningarnas o.s.v. Syftet är att öka förståelsen för huvudaktörernas agerande och fördjupa kunskapen om drivkrafterna bakom händelseförloppet. På så sätt vill vi bidra till den fortsatta diskussionen om demokratisyn, proteströrelser och rättssamhälle.

Systerskapets logiker : en etnologisk studie av feministiska fanzines
- 2006
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis coheres around the issue of collective political mobilisation within one part of the contemporary feminist movement, or more specifically, within the Swedish feminist zine community. A feminist zine, also commonly referred to as Grrrlzine or femizine, is a small non-commercial and non-professional publication, which is distributed by channels other than that of the mainstream media.The aim of the thesis is to examine what role the 'name' ' sisterhood' has in the constitution of a feminist zine community. Further, it is to explore the ways in which this 'name' is expressed and the precise function this name has within the community itself. That 'sisterhood' is necessary for a feminist politics is, according to the vast majority of the zines studied, obvious. Nevertheless the issue of what sisterhood 'is' or what it ’ought to be’ is constantly under negotiation. In this thesis I study how the name sisterhood works to create a collective feminist identity – even if this very 'name' comes to be articulated in, sometimes radically, different forms.In order to conduct my analysis, I have taken several theoretical decisions. First, I have chosen to frame the zine community in accordance with the term communitas, defined as a collective identity constituted in terms of its opposites, by that which it is not. In this specific case, this Other consists of the commercial media, that is also, conceived as an effect of a wider patriarchal threat.Second, to understand the differences which exist within this community, I have chosen to develop three feminist logics, to capture some quite contradictory articulatory strategies. They are referred to as ’liberal feminist’, ’radical feminist’ and ’post feminist’. The concept of logics allows me to interpret how it is that three different (and sometimes competing) feminist traditions can be found in the zine community, and commonly how in a single zine, or a single text, the three logics can coalsce.As mentioned above, it is the 'name' sisterhood that provides the glue that holds the feminist zine community together. To understand this I have analyzed sisterhood by way of the concept 'empty signifier', that is, a 'name' which is partially emptied of meaning and which serves as a surface of inscription for a variety of feminist demands, demands that in themselves may have very little, or even nothing in common.Finally, the ideas outlined in the thesis call for reflexivity, that is, for an explicit meta-analysis of the conduct of one’s own research process. In this thesis I discuss the problematic arising when the feminist researcher studies a feminist movement, and the inevitable blurring of political partisanship and theoretical analysis that takes place. Here I pay particular attention to the frontiers that a political community is always-already in a process of re-negotiating, and how the researcher is herself part of this very re-negotiation.

Digital information and traditional knowledge : the implementation of GPS collars as a tool in reindeer husbandry
- 2020
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation presents the use of global positioning systems (GPS) navigation devices to monitorthe reindeer within husbandry. The use of the GPS collar in the study area has expanded over theyears. This dissertation has sought to obtain a deeper understanding of how the two knowledgesystems, traditional Sámi knowledge and a technology-based knowledge, operate in husbandrytoday. Furthermore, social and ethical dimensions of change that may accompany digital technologyare examined. The prerequisite for reindeer husbandry vary from season to season, from year to year. The reindeer’s grazing and movement patterns are governed by changes in the weather conditions. Other factors that affect the reindeer husbandry work include different intrusions in the form of treefelling, hydropower, turbines for wind power and the activities of the mining industry. The four articles in this dissertation follow the research’s empirical foundation, with the GPS collar’s role inhusbandry examined from different angles. The ethnographic material consists mainly of interviews, observations and extant-literature studies conducted mostly between 2015 and 2019. I have made interviews with men and women of different ages that all have a lifelong relationship with the reindeer. The informants are reindeer herders who participate in daily herding activities and reindeer owners who do not participate so actively. They belong to different Sámi communities and are connected to and living in different areas around Jokkmokk. I have taken inspiration from actor network theory in highlighting the relationship between the reindeer, the landscape, the reindeer herder, the GPS technology, and authorities and other stakeholders. One starting point in actor-network theory (ANT) is to follow the relationships that are constructed and reconstructed through the collaboration of an heterogeneity of actors that together form what is called a network within ANT (Latour 1998). In article I, I discuss how the use of digital technology is a process in which new technology becomes familiarised, and the nature of the technology gradually changes to natural elements of everyday life. Reflecting on digitally transmitted data, herders expressed how there are things you cannot replacewith technology. One conclusion of the research was that new technology cannot replace reindeer herders’ presence in the reindeer forest; it only complements reindeer herders’ active presence. In article II I highlight how technologically transferred knowledge is becoming a tool to strengthen the Sámi community’s voice in discussions about land-use rights, providing ‘hard facts’. Article III outlines how reindeer movements are materialised and how herders experience these movements through a spectrum of emotions ´read´ through herders’ embodied, traditional knowledge. There are two conflicting scenarios at the centre of this article: feeling in control and feeling a loss of control due to the same information. Article IV draws attention to processes of creation of meaning and thoughts about value concerning digital technology. Further in the article, I addressed questions that refer to cultural and ethical values connected to the use of GPS collars.
