Narcocorridos : Ethnic Tradition, Border Discourse, and Commercialization

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- As traditional Mexican folk music corridos have always celebrated smugglers, outlaws and bandits, and many songs, popular in Mexico and the US Southwest, have commented on drug-related issues. However, in the past decades narcocorridos added a new dimension to the complex relation of music industry and drug consumption in North America. The following essay discusses the growing popularity of the drug ballad (narcocorrido) in the context of the rise of drug related violence in Mexico and the history of corrido singing in the US-Mexico borderlands. The contemporary narcocorrido is shown as a commercialized rendering of local traditions of resistance against oppression and poverty. Ethnic roots of the music genre are exploited for marketing celebratory and heroic representations of drug related violence.

Russian Cosmism in Eugene Vodolazkin’s novel The Aviator

Ingår i: Slovo : Journal of Slavic Languages and Literatures. - Uppsala : Uppsala universitet. - 0348-744X. ; 62, s. 25-38

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, I discuss the influence of Russian Cosmism on Eugene Vodolazkin’s 2016 novel The Aviator. The central philosophical issues associated with Russian Cosmism are immortality and resurrection of the human body, space exploration, the conservation of time and memory in the museum and the idea of universal kinship. All of these motifs are present, to some extent, in The Aviator. In the following analysis I focus on space travel. In The Aviator, space travel is deeply intertwined with the motifs of memory and resurrection, a combination which points backwards in the direction of Nikolai Fedorov, Pavel Florensky and Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, but also forward to contemporary visual artists, philosophers, writers and scientists. A cosmist reading of The Aviator makes comparisons relevant to several contemporary novels. This discussion uses Anna Starobinets’ The Living (2011) and Dmitry Glukhovsky’s Futu.re (2013) as material for comparison with The Aviator. A common thread for these three novels is the pessimism they reveal while developing the cosmist ideas.

Vagabond Princess : the great adventures of gulbadan
- 2024. - 1st
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- Situated in the early decades of the magnificent Mughal Empire, this first ever biography of Princess Gulbadan offers an enthralling portrait of a charismatic adventurer and unique pictures of the multicultural society in which she lived. Following a migratory childhood that spanned Kabul and north India, Gulbadan spent her middle years in a walled harem established by her nephew Akbar to showcase his authority as the Great Emperor. Gulbadan longed for the exuberant itinerant lifestyle she’d known. With Akbar’s blessing, she led an unprecedented sailing and overland voyage and guided harem women on an extended pilgrimage in Arabia. Amid increasing political tensions, the women’s “un-Islamic” behavior forced their return, lengthened by a dramatic shipwreck in the Red Sea. Gulbadan wrote a book upon her return, the only extant work of prose by a woman of the age. A portion of it is missing, either lost to history or redacted by officials who did not want the princess to have her say. Vagabond Princess contemplates the story of the missing pages and breathes new life into a daring historical figure. It offers a portal to a richly complex world, rife with movement and migration, where women’s conviviality, adventure, and autonomies shine through.

Austin and Scandinavian Realism
- 2013
-
Ingår i: The Legacy of John Austin's Jurisprudence. - : Springer-Verlag New York. ; , s. 73-106
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The imperative theory of law exemplified in the work of John Austin is the object of much criticism in the movement of Scandinavian legal realism (SLR). The very core notions of command, sovereignty and will are targeted. This paper explores the Scandinavian readings of Austin’s theory, chiefly by reconstructing the main arguments of Axel Hägerström’s criticism of the will-theory and Karl Olivecrona’s reading of the imperative character of law. Special attention is paid to the affinities between the various outlooks and to their core differences. On one hand, strong resemblances can be discovered in the common methodological afflatus and respect for Hume’s principle. On the other hand – apart from contrasting opinions on minor aspects (such as tacit consent grounding custom) – among the unbridgeable divergences mention should be made of the view on morals: Austin embraced a form of cognitivism, while the Scandinavians supported a strict form of non-cognitivism. In order to assess the originality of the Scandinavian attack on the imperative theory of law, the aim of the paper is to test to what extent it stimulated the seminal work on the question of law’s authoritative dimension in SLR.

The Negotiation of Urgency: Economies of Attention in an Italian Emergency Room
- 2021
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Urgency in a hospital Emergency Room (ER) is not a self-evident state. Urgency is made, by establishing priorities, distributing attention and material resources, and deciding who and what needs to be attended to first – and, simultaneously, who and what has to wait. The process of determining urgency is known as “triage” (from the French verb, trier, “to choose”). This thesis is about the vicissitudes of triage in an Italian ER. Based on one year of ethnographic fieldwork, the thesis explores what happens when urgency is at stake; when it is contested and caught up between different, and frequently conflicting, perspectives. It explores how urgency is determined in practice, and shows how triage always is a vulnerable process of negotiation guided by economies of attention. How is urgency actually shaped in interactions between patients, their families and friends, and the ER staff? The different chapters explore how time in the ER is created through shifting registers of attention, and how attention in the ER is affected by widespread economic and social precarity, and neoliberal national policies of governance. It discusses how triage increasingly is structured by attitudes of mistrust; and also by potential or real outbreaks of violence. Addressing the particular positioning of the ER as a thick space of conjunction between neoliberal state politics and people's increasing need for care and recognition, the thesis aims to contribute to medical anthropology literature by analyzing triage not as a neutral medical way of sorting, but as a practice that actively creates difference. It explores both the limits of triage, and how those limits can spark improvisation and creative reinvention.
