Gender and Sexuality in Online Game Cultures : Passionate Play
- 2012. - 1
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- How do gender and sexuality come to matter in online game cultures? Why is it important to explore "straight" versus "queer" contexts of play? And what does it mean to play together with others over time, as co-players and researchers?Gender and Sexuality in Online Game Cultures is a book about female players and their passionate encounters with the online game World of Warcraft and its player cultures. It takes seriously women’s passions in games, and as such draws attention to questions of pleasure in and desire for technology.The authors use a unique approach of what they term a "twin ethnography" that develops two parallel stories. Sveningsson studies "straight" game culture, and makes explicit that which is of the norm by exploring the experiences of female gamers in a male-dominated gaming context. Sundén investigates "queer" game culture through the queer potentials of mainstream World of Warcraft culture, as well as through the case of a guild explicitly defined as LGBT.Academic research on game culture is flourishing, yet feminist accounts of gender and sexuality in games are still in the making. Drawing on feminist notions of performance, performativity and positionality, as well as the recent turn to affect and phenomenology within cultural theory, the authors develop queer, feminist studies of online player cultures in ways that are situated and embodied.

Pojkars och flickors psykiska hälsa i skolan : en kunskapsöversikt
- 2010
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna rapport är en kunskapsöversikt över forskning om skolfaktorers inverkan på flickors och pojkars psykosociala hälsa. Det är vanligare att flickor i skolan är oroliga, stressade och deprimerade, från de tidiga tonåren. Pojkar har i stället fler uppmärksamhetsstörningar, koncentrationssvårigheter och skolsvårigheter redan från tidig ålder.

Public Urban Space, Gender and Segregation : Women-only urban parks in Iran
- 2017. - 1
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- Public spaces are the renditions of the power symmetry within the social setting it resides in, and is both controlling and confining of power. In an ideologically-laden context, urban design encompasses values and meanings and is utilized as a means to construct the identity and perpetuate visible and invisible boundaries. Hence, gendered spatial dichotomy based on a biological division of sexes is often employed systematically to evade the transgression of women into the public spaces. The production of modern urban space in the Middle East is formed in the interplay between modernity, tradition and religion. Examining women in public spaces and patterns of interaction with gender -segregated and -mixed space, this book argues that gendered spaces are far from a static physical spatial division and produce a complex and dynamic dichotomy of men/public and women/private. Taking the example of Iran, normative and ideologically-laden gender segregated public spaces have been used as a tool for the Islamization of everyday life. The most recent government effort includes women-only parks, purportedly designed and administered through women's contributions, as well as to accommodate their needs and provide space for social interasction and activities. Combining research approaches from urban planning and social sciences, this book analyses both technical and social aspects of women-only parks. Addressing the relationships between ideology, urban planning and gender, the book interprets power relations and how they are used to define and plan public and semi-public urban spaces. Lack of communication across disciplinary boundaries as result of complexities of urban life has been one of the major hindrances in studying urban spaces in the Middle East. Addressing the concern, the cross-disciplinary approach employed in this volume is an amalgamation of methods informed by urban planning and social sciences, which includes an in-depth analysis of the morphological, perceptual, social, visual, functional, and temporal dimensions of the public space, the women-only parks in Iran. Based on critical ethnography, this volume uses a phenomenological approach to understating women in gendered spaces. Interaction of women in women-only parks in Iran, a gendered space which is growing in popularity across the Muslim world is discussed thoroughly and compared vis-à-vis gender-neutral public spaces. The book targets scholars and students within a wide range of academic disciplines including urban studies, urban planning, gender studies, political science, Middle Eastern studies, cultural studies, urban anthropology, urban sociology, Iranian studies and Islamic studies.

Just Transitions: Gender and Power in India’s Climate Politics
- 2023
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This book turns critical feminist scrutiny on national climate policies in India and examines what transition might really mean for marginalized groups in the country. A vision of “just transitions” is increasingly being used by activists and groups to ensure that pathways towards sustainable futures are equitable and inclusive. Exploring this concept, this volume provides a feminist study of what it would take to ensure just transitions in India where gender, in relation to its interesting dimensions of power, is at the centre of analysis. With case studies on climate mitigation and adaptation from different parts of India, the book brings together academics, practitioners and policymakers who provide commentary on sectors including agriculture, forestry and renewables. Overall, the book has relevance far beyond India’s borders, as India’s attempt to deal with its diverse population makes it a key litmus test for countries seeking to transition against a backdrop of inequality both in the Global North and South. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate policy, gender studies, sustainable development and development studies more broadly.

Den identitetsskapande represenationsfrågan : En studie av i 1900-talets represemationsforskning samt resonemang kring en ny möjlig ansats / Från kvinnohistoria till genushistoria : En undersökning av begrepp och teori inom feministisk vetenskapsdiskurs från 1985-1995

Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den identitetskapande representationsfrågan : En studie av 1900-talets representationsforskning samt resonemang kring en nymöjlig ansats Av Staffan Bengtsson.''Den fråga, som nu är föremålet för vår överläggning, är onekligen den viktigaste. som kan förekomma. Den innefattar varken mer eller mindre, än att grundlägga Senska nationens fram tida öden ... "Ovanstående ord fälldes av en ledamot i bondeståndet under en riksdag vid mitten av 1800-talet. Vad som åsyftades var frågan kring den politiska representationens karaktär och hur denna skulle vara organiserad under riksdagens sammankomster.När frågan slutligen avgjordes på 1860-talet, och den traditionella ståndsindelningen upphörde, upplöstes också den i medeltiden inrättade samhällsbyggnaden. Därmed torde man i likhet med denne talare kunna stämma in i att få frågor har haft så stor historisk betydelse som just kampen kring en förändrad representation.Med detta fastslaget växer också funderingarna kring hur denna process har behandlats av forskarna. Har man lyckats täcka in de möjliga ansatser som finns att tillgå för att öka förståelsen kring den komplexitet som omgärdar ett förkastande av ståndssamhället? Utifrån detta tankefundarnent har det således tyckts mig angeläget att i en något vidare undersökning mer kritiskt granska före liggande problematik.Syftet med följande studie låter jag tudela. För det förs ta bär undersökningen på en ambition att åstadkomma en historiografisk kartläggning över 1900-talets representationsforskning; med avsikt på forskningsobjekt, perspektiv och drivkrafter. I detta ligger, om än underordnat, även en strävan att utreda huruvida en statsvetares skildring av frågan skiljer sig från en historikers.För det andra ska uppsatsen visa på en annorlunda forskningsansats i ämnet. Utifrån den utgångspunkten ska kulturanalysen behandlas för att reda ut huruvida denna vinkling kan vara ett behjälpligt instrument inom representationsforskningen. Som en exemplifiering av en sådan ansats ska slutligen medelklassens föreställningsvärld i representationsfrågans 1800-tal kortfattat belysas.
