Austin and Scandinavian Realism
- 2013
-
In: The Legacy of John Austin's Jurisprudence. - : Springer-Verlag New York. ; , s. 73-106
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)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.

Walking in Suriashi as a Radical and Critical Art of Inquiry
- 2023
-
In: Walking as Critical Inquiry. - Cham : Springer. - 9783031299902 - 9783031299919 ; , s. 151-173
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter contributes to the discussion on moving in and through site-specific and urban space; at the cusp between higher dance education and everyday life, creating a post-Certauian tear through space and time as a call for agency. It draws from my Ph.D. research Suriashi as Experimental Pilgrimage in Urban and Other Spaces, where I propose an experience of society from within a Japanese practice called suriashi, which translates as sliding foot. Suriashi is a specific gender codified walking technique in classical Japanese dance and theatre, and an important method for acting on stage. Gender is constructed physically through the positioning and moulding of the body. The original practice is performed in the dance studio or on stage. My research asks whether suriashi also could be a method for agency to act, as being active, or to activate, and temporally alter spaces outside the theatre; i.e. the practical application of this artistic practice outside the theatrical context. This relocation brings a traditional form into new configurations, connecting to everyday practices and sites of resistance and performance. It also contributes to the burgeoning field of walking arts practice, bringing a Japanese dance-based practice into a dialogue with debates and practices of Western dancing and walking. Suriashi performed in urban spaces was able to unfold and identify new relations between aesthetic practice and politics, between movements and monuments in the city as a way to critique the unequal distribution of power, and by looking for new ways to protest/resist peacefully. I assess this from three of my many experiments with slow suriashi walkings. The first one is Suriashi Intervention, performed at Gothenburg Culture Festival in August 2016. This experiment did two things: it engendered the city’s unacknowledged dance archive, while performing critique of the unequal distribution of funding of the arts. The second experiment is an ‘invisible’ suriashi performed by the then Hong Kong-based scholar Ching-yuen Cheung during the violent protests at Yuen Long Station in Hong Kong in July 2019. It showed how artistic methods are necessary when democracy collapses. The third experiment regards introducing suriashi as methodology to master students of Contemporary Performative Arts at University of Gothenburg. Here, suriashi unveiled important issues regarding art in urban spaces, necessary for the art student. To further contextualize, I interlace my arguments through positionings by sociologist Doreen Massey.

The transmutation of dignity : Kant, neo-roman republicanism, and the commonwealth of ends
- 2022
-
In: Human dignity and the kingdom of ends. - New York : Routledge. - 9780367460013 - 9781032185613 - 9781003027874 ; , s. 148-167
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter examines the way Kant transforms the older, hierarchical notion of dignity into the essentially egalitarian notion of dignity we know today. The chapter starts with a discussion of the Roman notion of dignitas, with its focus on highly stratified social status, personal duty, and reputation. It then argues that a crucial development in the understanding of dignity took place in the early modern period, when neo-Roman republican thinkers maintained that dignity requires a person to be ‘sui iuris’, i.e., free from domination. In doing so, they turned dignity into a largely binary notion, juxtaposing the dignity of a freeman with the wretched condition of a slave. The chapter then turns to Kant’s introduction of dignity in the Groundwork. It demonstrates that, when Kant grounds the moral agent’s dignity in his/her status as a lawgiver in a Commonwealth of Ends, Kant is relying on this same binary understanding of dignity. The significance of this anti-slavery theme is further underlined by the pains Kant takes to ensure that God’s status within the Commonwealth of Ends is consistent with the dignity of human beings. Lastly, the chapter draws out an important implication of Kant’s account, namely that taking up the practical perspective necessarily commits a person to recognizing his/her own dignity as well as that of others.

Hegel redivivus: Žižek, teologi och religion
- 2018
-
In: Žižek som samtidsanalytiker. Red. Anders Bjurman och Cecilia Sjöholm.. - Hägersten : Tankekraft förlag. - 9789188203304
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I det här kapitlet diskuterar jag för det första vad den slovenske filosofen Slavoj Žižek menar med sina återkommande referenser till teologi givet hans materialistiska teologi, för det andra vilket slags teologi som det är han företräder och för det tredje hur Žižek behandlar religion i sin filosofi. Min konklusion är att Žižek hämtar mycket av sin kunskap om men även sin analys av religion från den tyske filosofen G. W. F. Hegel, och att liknande problem som vidhäftar Hegels diskussion av religion också återfinns hos Žižek. Värdet hos Žižeks filosofi för att analysera religion är således inte obefintligt men begränsat.

Deconstructing Oedipus : Woody Allen's Mighty Aphrodite and the classical tradition
- 2017. - 11
-
In: The reception of ancient virtues and vices in modern popular culture. - Leiden and Boston : Brill Academic Publishers. - 9789004347717 - 9789004347724 ; , s. 167-186
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The chapter examines the philosophical dichotomy between Hellenism and Hebraism in order to show how Mighty Aphrodite may be seen as a contemporary example of merging cultural identities, previously thought in contradiction to one another. Allen's reiteration of Oedipal references may be read as a dismantling of Classical Hellenic culture and a rearrangement intended for a 21st century New York setting. Allen constructs a fictional tragic space that is embedded in the main plot and that manifests itself in the form of tragic dramaturgy and scenic conventions.Against this backdrop, Allen's overall use of classical tradition may be considered self-referential: it points out to the director's own understanding of classical culture as a twenty first century Jewish New York film director. Ancient cultural forms mingle with contemporary film and mirror 'the two way relationship between the source text or culture and the new work and receiving elements'. Abort of their original context of antiquity, ritual, drama and myth, tragedy and the very figure of Oedipus are (paradoxically) cinematically deconstructed as humorous, and are granted a place within contemporaneity, finding a specific leeway of expression in classical Hollywood film narratives. The film is a commentary on the potentials of reinstating dominant structures of classical reception per se: Oedipus may become Anti-Oedipus, tragedy may turn into comedy and binary structures such as Hellenism and Hebraism may mingle together in perfect harmony.

Robert Adolf Klostermann och hans slaviska boksamling vid Göteborgs universitetsbibliotek: Några proveniensfrågor
- 2021
-
In: Objekt och samling – om det unika i Göteborgs universitetsbibliotek. - Göteborg : Acta Bibliothecae Universitets Gothoburgensis. - 0065-1079. - 9789179630485 ; , s. 165-193
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Boksamlingen som presenteras i detta kapitel tillhörde den tyske bysantinologen och slavisten Robert Adolf (Rolf ) Klostermann (1907–1983). Den innehåller litteratur på bulgariska, engelska, fornkyrkoslaviska, franska, italienska, litauiska, polska, ryska, serbiska, slovenska, svenska, tyska och ukrainska, mest rörande teologi och kyrkohistoria i olika slaviska länder, främst i Ryssland. Samlingen omfattar cirka 600 volymer och är ett unikt vittnesbörd till perioden 1920–1980. Den omfattar mellankrigstiden, andra världskriget, efterkrigstiden och tiden kring kalla kriget, som är representerad av bland annat flera böcker med kommunistisk och ateistisk propaganda. Detta kapitel är ett samarbete mellan UB och Institutionen för språk och litteraturer, Humanistiska fakulteten vid Göteborgs universitet. Det tar sitt avstamp i den tidigare forskningen kring samlingen. Genom finansiering från Apotekare Gustaf Bernströms fond, har Taissia Goriounova kunnat ansluta till arbetet med att inventera, kategorisera och systematisera hela samlingen. Detta arbete genomfördes under perioden 2018–2020. Vi använde EndNote för att skapa poster med beskrivningar av materialet i samlingen. Projektet ledde till att flera intressanta exemplar upptäcktes och gav nya ledtrådar till samlingens historia.
