Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vision has often been a central concern of feminist studies of science, medicine and technology. In cultural or social feminist analysis, the male gaze and the ways in which technoscience accommodates, and in effect organizes the watching of women, has been an important part of the feminist interrogation of the gender and power relations that produce the subjects and the objects of science. This attention is due to the intimate, and power-saturated, merge of processes of seeing and processes of knowing. Inherent in the notion of vision, there is always a politics to ways of seeing, ordering and observing, of organising the knowledge of the world. Historically, this can be exemplified by the eighteen-century Swedish “father” of biological classification, Linnaeus. Taking a leap away from Christian assumptions, Linnaeus placed human beings in a taxonomic order of nature together with other animals.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- As the planet’s largest ecosystem, oceans stabilise climate, produce oxygen, store CO2 and host unfathomable biodiversity at a deep time-scale. In recent decades, scientific assessments have indicated that the oceans are seriously degraded to the detriment of most near-future societies. Human-induced impacts range from climate change, ocean acidification, loss of biodiversity, eutrophication and marine pollution to local degradation of marine and coastal environments. Such environmental violence takes form of both ‘spectacular’ events, like oil spills and ‘slow violence’, occurring gradually and out of sight. The purpose of this paper is to show four cases of coastal and marine forms of slow violence and to provide counter-accounts of how to reinvent our consumer imaginary at such locations, as well as to develop what is here referred to as ‘low-trophic theory,’ a situated ethical stance that attends to entanglements of consumption, food, violence, environmental adaptability and more-than-human care from the co-existential perspective of multispecies ethics. We combine field-philosophical case studies with insights from marine science, environmental art and cultural practices in the Baltic and North Sea region and feminist posthumanities. The paper shows that the oceanic imaginary is not a unified place, but rather, a set of forces, which requires renewed ethical approaches, conceptual inventiveness and practical creativity. Based on the case studies and examples presented, the authors conclude that the consideration of more-than-human ethical perspectives, provided by environmental arts and humanities is crucial for both research on nature and space, and for the flourishing of local multispecies communities. This paper thus inaugurates thinking and practice along the proposed here ethical stance of low-trophic theory, developed it along the methodological lines of feminist environmental posthumanities.

Framtider på sin spets: Att värdera det omätbara
- 2022

Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Vi menar i den här korta essän att öar, som det planerade, offentliga konstverket Future Island, har mycket att lära oss. De tränar vår förmåga att se stora sammanhang, ”connect the dots”. Med öar,som per definition ligger vid marginalerna av fast mark eller till och med långt ute till havs, tränas vår föreställningsförmåga. Det behövs nu när vi måste anpassa oss på nytt, till en miljö- och klimatförändrad värld. Nu när vi måste lära oss leva med ovissa klimatframtider behövs testscenarion och projektionsytor för tänkbara framtider, som Future Island-verket. Här har vetenskap och tekniken självklar plats – i egenskap av datainsamling och observationer av möjliga scenarier. Men för att verkligen öva vår föreställningsförmåga, och därmed vår anpassningsförmåga, i en redan miljöförändrad värld, krävs mer än disparat information. Det behövs mer än tekniska beräkningar, vetenskapliga övervakningssystem och informativa utbildningsinsatser. Nu krävs inlevelse, fantasiförmåga, spekulationer, nya horisonter och nya sätt att se sammanhang. Inte minst krävs avoss alla idag konsten att leva med det okända, det omätbara.
