- Networked online environments can effectively support political activism. In Sweden, the #metoo movement resulted in over 100,000 people participating in activities challenging sexual harassment and abuse, including collecting testimonies via social media and drafting and discussing petitions published in print news media. Participation involved many risks, such as social stigma, losing one's job, or misogynist terrorism, which meant that participation required a high level of trust among peers. Human-computer interaction (HCI) research on trust generally focuses on technical systems or user-generated data, less focus has been given to trust among peers in vulnerable communities. This study, based on semi-structured interviews and surveys of participants and organizers of 47 petitions representing different sectors in society, found that trust was aggregated over networks of people, practices, institutions, shared values, and technical systems. Although a supportive culture based on a feeling of solidarity and shared feminist values was central for safe spaces for participation, when activism was scaled up, social interaction had to be limited due to increased risk. HCI research views trust as a process of crossing distances, increasing over time; however, our results reveal that trust decreased over time as the movement grew and public exposure increased, a trend most evident when the participants actually came from a tightly knit community. Therefore, this study points out the significance to balance the need for transparency and community with the need for anonymity and distance in the development of tools to support large-scale deliberative processes that involve conflicts and risks.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To better understand the interplay between digital activism and feminist infrastructure, this study investigates #MeToo activism in the Swedish construction industry and green industry. Both are industries in transition characterized by a dissonance between formal incentives, that encourage women and others to work in environments previously dominated by white men, and the informal power structures hosting a toxic masculinity. Based on media texts and interviews with key persons from the industries, the article situates #MeToo in a local context and shows how it was embedded in a supportive social, cultural, and technical infrastructure. In both industries, at the time of #MeToo this feminist infrastructure was already in place consisting of: an awareness of the problem of sexual harassment and abuse, knowledge of feminist explanatory models, established feminist online networks, and a supportive feminist culture, which together with widespread digital and feminist literacy became instrumental in the organization of the movement. Social media connected activists and created a critical mass by supporting the uniting of conflicting identity positions around shared differences. The established feminist infrastructure meant that the #MeToo activism, by articulating a widespread affective dissonance, pushed open doors that were already half open and forced them wide. This can explain some of the movement's success in Sweden.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The #metoo movement can serve as a case for how networked online environments can provide settings for the mobilization of social movements, while also entail serious risks for those involved. In Sweden, over hundred thousand people were engaged in activities against sexual harassments and abuse, where social media were used to collect testimonies and to draft and discuss petitions that were later published in print news media. While HCI research on trust focus on how people trust technical systems, the authorities behind the system, or the user generated data, trust between peers in vulnerable communities is less researched. In this study, based on semi-structured interviews and a survey that involved 62 organizers of the Swedish #metoo movement, we therefore look into the question of how a secure and supportive environment was achieved among participants despite the scale of the activism. The result shows how trust was aggregated over networks of technical systems, institutions, people, shared values and practices. The organizers of the petitions used tools and channels at their disposal such as e.g. already established social media contexts that enabled the #metoo petitions to be formed easily and spread quickly. Establishing a supportive culture based on recognition and shared values was central for the movement. However, when the activism was scaled up, strategies were used to increase security by clarifying rules and roles, limiting access to information, restricting access to groups, and limiting the scope of communication.

Sempronia's Song : Attitudes to Women's Music-making in Ancient Rome
- 2015
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study explores attitudes towards women’s music-making in ancient Rome (c. 120 BC–130 AD), as expressed in love poetry, satire, letters, historiography, biography, rhetoric and philosophy. The texts are studied from an intersectional perspective considering gender, social status, age and ethnicity to explain various attitudes. Gender-theoretical concepts of differentiation, implementation of hierarchy and master suppression techniques explain the need for controlling the Roman gender order and women’s music-making. The study demonstrates that the traditional picture of women musicians as either prostitutes or decent, musically-talented matrons needs to be nuanced, and that the attitudes were more complex than previously assumed.Some Roman authors show a positive attitude to women’s musical talents, especially love poets, but also writers of other genres, as long as it was performed on “appropriate” instruments in accordance with the social status of the woman in question. The musical skills of a woman should not override her modesty and virtue. A young woman was encouraged to display musical talents. This enhanced her beauty and attractiveness in the eyes of a husband-to-be. Older music-making women were, on the other hand, ridiculed as unrespectable. The labelling of women musicians in Rome as “non-Roman” could be another way of differentiating non-respectable from respectable women, but such identifying could also serve to evoke “exotic” attraction, or for an artist to require a certain status or a sense of belonging.The results obtained from the ancient Roman sources are further augmented by comparison with more recent periods in musical history, displaying a long tradition of rather similar attitudes as a result of patriarchal structures: in seventeenth century Italy Pope Innocent XI in an edict tried to prohibit women from playing music, since this would be injurious to proper modesty. In the twenty-first century world-leading women musicians such as Madonna and Mariah Carey are publicly scorned for their older age in relation to their music-making.In ancient Rome both women and music needed to be controlled: Music was unpredictable and could evoke unexpected feelings and temptations, whereas women held the key to pure marital breed and the Roman family line.

Brave women sound the alarm : representations of men and women in the Swedish media coverage of #MeToo

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In autumn 2017 in Sweden, the #MeToo movement and sexual assault became a focus of broad debate. Swedish media coverage of the movement was centered around the many petitions made by anonymous groups of women to illuminate the extent of the problem of sexual assault, as well as a few cases of accusations against well-known and powerful men in both the culture and media industries. In order to elicit common representations of men and their female accusers, this study applies critical discourse analysis (CDA) to news media coverage and Facebook comments of three of those accused men: TV personality Martin Timell, journalist Fredrik Virtanen and culture personality Jean-Claude Arnault. The results indicate that representations of women as both witnesses and heroines work to reinforce notions of female responsibility as a means to halt sexual assault, while representations of men as sexual predators build on demarcations of illegal and mere misogynistic or “bad” behavior, which in turn reinforce notions of male victimhood. These representations point to legal discourse as hegemonic, as it seems to limit the discussion and only present individual solutions, such as women bearing witness, to the structural problem of sexual assault. Simultaneously, the results indicate that the #MeToo movement and other feminist discourse have also had an effect on news media representations of sexual assault by broadening the concept beyond the consent/rape dichotomy.

Allt annat än allvar : den komiska kvinnliga grotesken i svensk samtida skrattkultur
- 2008
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Avhandlingen tar avstamp i ett möte mellan å ena sidan Michail Bachtins begrepp skrattkultur och hans positiva och uppvärderande framställning av grotesk estetik, och å andra sidan feministisk och queer teoribildning. Avhandlingen utgör en tvärvetenskaplig kulturstudie av svensk samtida skrattkultur, Mer specifikt fokuseras framställningar av kön, kropp och sexualitet. Texten bygger på närläsning av tre empiriska sammanhang: Först analyseras de radiosketcher som skrevs och framfördes under 1990-talets andra hälft av komikerna Åsa Asptjärn och Gertrud Larsson, som bildade duon ”Åsa och Gertrud”. Sketcherna sändes som ett inslag i de feministiska färgade radioprogrammet Radio Ellen och Freja! i public servicekanalen P1. Avhandlingen lyfter fram det sätt på vilket Åsa och Gertrud skapar komik genom att kombinera nyhetsstoff, feministisk vinkel och det närgångna förhållningssätt till kropp, kön, sexualitet och omvärld som är typiskt för skrattkulturens framställningar. Högtstående företeelser framställs genom det intima och närgånga perspektivet. Åsa och Gertruds komik är innovativ. Den kan, tack vare att det visuella är frånvarande i radions form, låta skrattkulturens groteska fantasi få ett förhållandevis fritt spelrum. Det leder till att stoffet som behandlas ofta framträder på ett helt nytt sätt. Därefter analyseras Prideparaden som sedan 1998 årligen äger rum i Stockholm. Paraden och dess hav av kroppar i tåget och i publiken läses utifrån en kombination av lust, komik och politik. Slutligen presenteras en läsning av den svenska situationskomedin Sally. Den sändes i TV under 1999 i båda public servicekanalerna. Huvudpersonen Sally, spelad och skapad av skådespelerskan Maria Lundqvist, är en skrattkulturell figur vars komik och groteskeri ställer en rad vanemässiga föreställningar om kön, kropp och sexualitet på ända. I dessa tre närläsningar av materialets komiska och groteska framställning av kön, kropp och sexualitet pekar avhandlingen på den potential som finns i mötet mellan å ena sidan komikens och skrattkulturens inslag av lust, självsvåldig meningskonstruktion och nonsens, och å andra sidan ett feministiskt och queert färgat perspektiv.

Maktordningar och motstånd : forskarperspektiv på #metoo i Sverige
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Den svenska #metoo-rörelsen samlade under sina första två år (2017–2019) mer än 100 000 deltagare från över 70 olika yrken och samhällsområden. I Maktordningar och motstånd belyser en grupp forskare rörelsen ur olika perspektiv och tecknar en flerdimensionell bild av hur #metoo-aktivismen i Sverige utvecklades i samspelet mellan teknik och kultur, sociala och traditionella medier, och enskilda aktörers initiativ.Genom nedslag i olika miljöer visar forskarna hur ett strukturellt förtryck i form av sexism, sexuella trakasserier och sexuellt våld uttrycks och förklaras. De visar även hur förtrycket normaliseras och förstärks i sammanhang som kännetecknas av gränslösa beteenden, maskulinitetsgörande och en utbredd tystnadskultur. Inte minst viktigt framkommer i studien att sexuella trakasserier handlar om maktutövning. Förtrycket blir särskilt tydligt i branscher där många arbetar under prekära omständigheter och där bristen på utvägar ökar risken för de som vågar säga ifrån. Forskningsresultaten visar också hur olika diskriminerande grunder, som till exempel kön, ålder och anställningsform samverkar.Boken ger en överblick över den svenska #metoo-rörelsens utveckling samt ger en större kunskap om särskilda riskfaktorer. Författarna pekar även ut strategier för att motverka förtryck och möjliggöra förändring.

Passager : medier och kultur i ett köpcentrum
- 2001
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vart man än vänder sig omges man idag av medier, inte minst i ett köpcentrum gratistidningar, affischer, tv-monitorer, musik, telefoner För att kunna säga något väsentligt om medierna i ett nutida konsumtionsrum är det också nödvändigt att analysera själva ramen, köpcentrumet. I antologin Passager besvaras bl a frågor om vad ortens berömda fotbollslag har där att göra, varför bänkarna hela tiden flyttar på sig, vad ett köpcentrum egentligen kostar, hur gränsen dras mellan vi och dom, varför det aldrig är vinter där. Det handlar om ägandeförhållanden och yttrandefrihet, ljudlandskapets geografi, postmodern arkitektur med historiska rötter, kampen mellan offentlig konst och reklamskyltning, shopping i cyberrymden, människor som älskar eller hatar sitt centrum och om hur hela köpcentrumet kan ses som ett enormt medium.
