Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- What is it that influences girls’ choices of new technology? How is digital creativity affected by gender norms? “Digital Gender & Aesthetic Technology” aims to make visible females as creative developers of the Internet and new technology, through interviews with students, artists, project managers, and entrepreneurs. The prevailing social norms appear to be reflected on the Internet as “digital gender norms,” where girls and boys prefer apparently different communication tools. While working with the question of “digital gender,” I have developed the hypothesis of “Aesthetic Technology,” namely that girls often have an artistic approach towards technology. Girls mainly learn technology for a personal reason, planning to create something once they have learned the technique, and their goal often have aesthetic preferences. The question of girls “becoming technical,” is more complicated than one might first think, in relation to gender. Even though young girls are often just as interested in technology as young boys are, it is difficult for them to keep or adapt their technical interest to normative femininity in their teens. Another problem is that expressions of technical competence or innovation, which do not correspond to the predominant male norm, might be hard to recognize. Females who study within the field of creative digital technology often begin their career by struggling with questions of equality, instead of just practicing their profession.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Varför är det så många tjejer som väljer att blogga? Hur påverkas digital kreativitet av genusnormer?"Ser du mig nu? Kreativa tjejers digitala strategier" är ett paper som syftar till att synliggöra tjejer som kreativa användare och utvecklare av internet och ny teknik. Detta har undersökts genom intervjuer med kvinnliga studenter, konstnärer, projektledare och entreprenörer. De genusnormer som råder i samhället verkar återspeglas i unga människors nätkulturer Tjejer och killars nätkommunikation tar sig uttryck i skilda umgängesformer, knutna till homosociala genusnormer, trots att nätet förväntas vara en kroppsoberoende mötesplats. Killar dominerar online-spel miljöer, där manligt heteronormativa värderingar riskerar att försätta tjejer i ett sexistiskt grundat utanförskap. Tjejer dominerar bloggsfären, där bloggandet kan betraktas som ett nytt kvinnligt entreprenörskap, med användare som kontinuerligt utvecklar nya kreativa strategier för nätverkskommunikation. En hypotes som vuxit fram under arbetes gång, är att tjejer ofta har en estetisk ingång till teknik. Tjejer påverkar ofta välja att lära sig teknik för att de vill skapa något annat med hjälp av tekniken, och målet har ofta estetiska preferenser. Att lära sig teknik, att som kvinna bli teknisk, visar sig vara mer komplicerat än vad man först kan tro i förhållande till genusnormer. Problemen har att göra med överskridandet av genusnormer, och yttrar sig på en rad områden. När det gäller teknisk kunnighet så finns det normativa förväntningar på hur kompetensen skall komma till uttryck. Tjejer som utbildar sig inom området kreativ digital teknik, får ofta börja med att arbeta för jämställdhet, i stället för att utöva sitt yrke, eftersom det kan vara svårt att etablera sig i den befintliga företagskulturen.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Hur finns miljöerna för kvinnligt arbete och liv representerade bland våra byggnadsminnen frågar artikelförfattaren. En titt i senaste utgåvan av boken »Byggnadsminnen 1978—1988» ger ett magert resultat. »Mäns och kvinnors historia är ju så sammanflätad som varp och inslag», skrev Elin Wägner i sin »Väckarklocka». Verkligheten tycks ha gjort en historia av enbart inslaget.

Affect in language, gender and sexuality research: studying heterosexual desire
- 2021
-
Ingår i: The Routledge Handbook of Language, Gender and Sexuality. Jo Angouri and Judith Baxter (red.). - London : Routledge. - 9781138200265 - 9781315514840 ; , s. 450-464

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this chapter, we take a poststructuralist approach to gender, sexuality, and the realm of the affective. While there are of course many different emotions that may be relevant to gender and sexuality, this chapter focuses on the discursive construction of heterosexual desire in a particular context – online dating. Empirically, we study heterosexual desire through an investigation of two female friends browsing, reading, and commenting on male online profiles. By analysing these meaning-making practices, we demonstrate how desire is what lies beside and enables the discursive construction of identities in a homosocial context. Ultimately, our argument is that by studying affect it is possible to bring to the fore what has previously been viewed as ‘hidden’, belonging to the ‘private sphere’ or the realm of an ‘inner psychic life’, and therefore dismissed as too slippery a terrain for scholars of language. It is our hope that this chapter demonstrates that what is ‘hidden’ is actually in plain sight. One needs to read the data with an affective eye.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- What explains the gender gap in ideology, i.e. the observation that women tend to be more leftist than men? We provide new evidence showing that personality traits play a key role. Using a novel high-quality data set, we show that the mediating (i.e. indirect) effects of gender operating through personality traits by far dominate the direct effects of gender. They also dominate other potential differences between the sexes like income or education as explanatory factors. Our findings suggest that women tend to be more leftist than men mainly because they have different personalities, which, in turn, shape their expressed ideology. Taking such mediating effects of personality traits into account explains over three quarters of the observed gender gap in general ideological preferences.

Comics as a Canvas for Formation of Collectivities: The Example of Indian Women Fighting Back
- 2022
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- No type of effective activism would take shape without communities, networks, and collectives. Non-male communities have been devalued and antagonized within patriarchal structures, through various explicit and implicit strategies such as stereotyping, ridicule, and formal persecution. Consequently, the mere formation of non-male collectives at the heart of patriarchal structures can be a feminist and activist endeavor, even without outspoken activist agendas. Collectivity emerges as well recurrently in relation to the medium of comics at different levels: collective authorships, collective milieus and movements of production, and the collectivity suggested through the multimodal materiality of the medium. In this paper, I will focus on the collective potentials of the medium of comics, at the social and material levels, by offering a case study of Drawing the line, Indian women fight back! (Kuriyan, Bertonasco et al. 2015). Drawing the line is an anthology consisting of works by fourteen Indian comic artists who reflect upon their experiences of gender violence. As this paper will demonstrate, through the anthology format, collective and transcultural publication, collective authorship, and depiction of collective histories, Drawing the line sets an example for the way comics, as a medium, can be inherently activist through its potentials for collective enunciation. Furthermore, showcasing an example of collective feminist action through drawing and storytelling, Drawing the line also creates potentials for intercultural community building with its Western counterparts such as Drawing Power (Noomin and Gay 2019). To flesh out the latter point, the paper will conclude with expanding on the potentials of ‘comics anthology’ as an activist format.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the fieldwork dilemmas a young, female, heterosexual, indigenous South African researching everyday negotiations around heterosexuality within township families encountered in negotiating her own heteroerotic subjectivity within the field. Design/methodology/approach A heterosexuality studies approach is here combined with a critical feminist research methodological perspective. Findings The paper argues that researchers are often unprepared for having to negotiate their erotic subjectivity within the field and that such negotiations can be compromising to the researcher in a variety of ways. Originality/value Little is published on female researchers negotiating their heteroerotic subjectivity in the field. The paper contributes original insights on this from fieldwork carried out by an indigenous heterosexual female researcher in South African townships. It raises important issues about the conduct of fieldwork in (non-)compromising and agentic ways.
