Skrubbsår : Berättelser om ur hiv föreställs och erfars i samtida Sverige
- 2017
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Avhandlingen är en tvärvetenskaplig kulturstudie som utforskar föreställningar om och erfarenheter av hiv som kronisk sjukdom i Sverige under 2005–2014. Analysen av ett antal hiv-berättelser sker tillsammans med en teoretisk sammanflätning i form av den queera sårbarhetens och sjukdomens fenomenologi, samt genom de feministiska figurationerna hiv-tröskeln, skrubbsår, plåster och gruskorn. Materialet utgörs av djupintervjuer, autofiktiva texter och populärkulturella representationer. I djupintervjuer med personer som har hiv och i autofiktiva texter undersöks när och hur hiv görs och blir påtagligt i vardagslivet. Genom läsningar av de populärkulturella berättelserna Hur kunde hon?, Ophelias resa, Mitt positiva liv och Positiv undersöker avhandlingen hur protagonisterna och hiv gestaltas, vad som bygger dramaturgin samt hur normaliserande skildringar riskerar att (åter)skapa normativa gränser. Förhandlingar med normlinjer berör återkommande respektabilitet och begäret att framstå som en lyckad och lycklig individ, men även att ha ett levbart liv. Hiv-berättelser innehåller återkommande känslor som rädsla, skam och mononormativ melankoli. De utgör skrubbsår skapade i mötet med andra personer, samhällsinstitutioner och de föreställningar om hiv som finns i samhället. Likt gruskorn skrubbar föreställningarna oss. Det medför olika former av undvikande och ensamhetsorienteringar. Plåster, det vill säga individuella strategier av att exponera hiv och att distansera sig från den yttre blicken på självet görs tillsammans med och skapar känslor såsom lättnad, stolthet och ilska. Skrubbsår erbjuder en diskussion kring vardagligt hiv-görande, hur vi blir med hiv tillsammans med andra personer, normer, institutioner och samhällets skam- och kontrollmekanismer, samt hur känslor samskapar hiv. Genom ett poetiskt och skönlitterärt skrivande utgör scener och fiktiva karaktärer, baserade på intervjuer, och den autofiktiva alter-egoberättaren Desideria ett icke-distanserat och kännbart gestaltande av det relationella hiv-blivandet.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This is part 1 of 6 of the dossier What Do We Talk about when We Talk about Queer Death?, edited by M. Petricola. The contributions collected in this article sit at the crossroads between thanatology and queer theory and tackle questions such as: how can we define queer death studies as a research field? How can queer death studies problematize and rethink the life-death binary? Which notions and hermeneutic tools could be borrowed from other disciplines in order to better define queer death studies?The present article includes the following contributions: – MacCormack P., What does queer death studies mean?; – Radomska M., On queering death studies; – Lykke N., Death as vibrancy; – Hillerup Hansen I., What concreteness will do to resolve the uncertain; – Olson P., Queer objectivity as a response to denials of death; – Manganas N., The queer lack of a chthonic instinct.

Queer Death Studies: Death, Dying and Mourning from a Queerfeminist Perspective
- 2020
-
In: Australian feminist studies (Print). - : Informa UK Limited. - 0816-4649 .- 1465-3303. ; 35:104, s. 81-100
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This introduction to the Queer Death Studies special issue explores an emerging transdisciplinary field of research. This field critically, (self-)reflexively and affirmatively investigates and challenges conventional normativities, assumptions, expectations, and regimes of truths that are brought to life and made evident by current planetary scale necropolitics and its framing of death, dying and mourning in the contemporary world. It is set against the background of traditional engagements with the question of death, often grounded in Western hegemonic and normative ideas of dying, dead and mourning subjects and bodies, on the one hand; and on the other contemporary discourses on human and nonhuman death and extinction, directly linked to the environmental crisis, capitalist and post/colonial extractivist necropolitics, material and symbolic violence, oppression and inequalities, and socio-economic, political and ecological unsustainabilities. By bringing together conceptual and analytical tools grounded in feminist materialisms and feminist theorising broadly speaking, queer theory and decolonial critique, the contributions in this special issue strive to advance queerfeminist methodologies and ontological, ethical and political understandings that critically and creatively attend to the problem of death, dying and mourning in the current environmental, cultural, and socio-political contexts.

Passionate Disidentifications as an Intersectional Writing Strategy
- 2014
-
In: Writing Academic Texts Differently. - New York : Routledge. - 9780415502252 ; , s. 30-46
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The chapter presents a sequence of writing exercises as a guide and inspiration for readers when writing introductions and synopses for longer as well as shorter academic texts. The exercise sequence leads readers step by step through the stages of writing an introduction and a synopsis. The individual exercises and suggested writing strategies can also be used independently of the sequence. The steps are also tried out in an analysis of an example: the introduction to a key article in feminist intersectionality studies: Kimberle Crenshaw: 'Mapping the Margins: Intersectionality, Identity Politics, and Violence against Women of Color'.

The magic of feminist bridging : A mosaic of anti-racist speech bubblesabout Othering in Swedish Academia
- 2023
-
In: Kvinder, Køn og Forskning. - Copenhagen. - 0907-6182 .- 2245-6937. ; 2, s. 146-161

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Are feminist coalitions magical enough to survive and endure while questioning and shaking the colonial/racist foundations of Swedish academic knowledge production and the overall Swedish society? Can feminist bridging and collective writing remain a magical process even when grappling with difficult experiences and memories of othering and racialisation? This is a creatively and collectively written article on feminist coalition building, and its importance in thinking, articulating and deconstructing race, racialization and racist structures. More than two years ago, seven interdisciplinary gender studies scholars of mixed ethnic and racial origins, came together to explore our differently situated experiences of disidentifying with Swedish academia and society in a collective we call Loving Coalitions. Against the background of Swedish exceptionalism, historical amnesia of Sweden’s colonial past and present, and the deafening silence on Swedish whiteness and racism, we are sharing our poems, letters, texts and testimonies of racist interactions in Swedish academia and society. While doing so, we discuss how moving away from conventional ways of doing research and experimenting with creative methodological alternatives, such as automatic writing, epistolary formats, poems, fiction, collective memory-work, allow us to acknowledge and embrace our different life backgrounds and academic trajectories as a mode of knowledge production. We hope and believe that our experiences, refl ections and ways to resist racism and Othering in Sweden and Swedish academia through alternative coalition building, based on mutual care and love, can be relevant in a Danish context as well.

A Triptych of Viral Tales
- 2020
-
In: Kerb. Journal of Landscape and Architecture. - Melbourne, VIC, Australia : Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. - 1324-8049. ; 28, s. 102-107
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Through a poetic-philosophic conversation, the two authors, Nina Lykke and Camila Marambio, reflect critically upon the discourses on the Covid19-pandemic and their conventional inscription in hierarchizing dichotomies of human/non-human and culture/nature. The word ‘tale’ is used to indicate that the intervention is a poetic fabulation, meant to prompt new imaginaries and ethical speculations about other — more caring and less anthropocentric — worlding practices than the currently dominant ones. The triptych format combines a theoretical reflection on the need for a changed planetary ethics, a poem on the experience of imminent death, and a tale about a bat, a pangolin and a virus.

Decolonization, the University, and Transnational Solidarities : A Conversation

-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter is an interview conversation with feminist performance studies scholar Swati Arora who shares her thoughts on transnational and decolonial feminisms and epistemes. The conversation draws on Swati’s research on performance cultures, her activist engagements with ”Decolonize the University” movement, and her experiences from her intertwined academic and political trajectory, informed by embodied experiences of inhabiting a multiplicity of different geopolitical locations in the Global South (Delhi and Cape Town) and the Global North (Amsterdam and London). Interweaving Swati’s highly charged descriptions of activist practices and performances with her in-depth theoretical reflections, the interview digs into the ways in which her transnational trajectory and overlapping situatednesses have made her very aware of epistemic differences, erasures, and the urgent need for deploying the tricksterous feminist practice of translations as a point of departure for pluriversal dialogues, and a conscious move away from monologic universality. In the interview, Swati shares insights from her forthcoming book on performance cultures in Delhi, a manifesto she wrote to decentre Theatre and Performance Studies, and her research on a feminist performance Walk by the Indian performer and playwright Maya Rao, which engaged with translation as an act of transnational solidarity in highly complex ways.

Assisted Reproduction Across Borders : Feminist Perspectives on Normalizations, Disruptions and Transmissions
- 2017
-
Editorial collection (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Assisted Reproduction Across Borders reflects on the state of the art of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs). From feminist perspectives, contributors explore how, today, ARTs have reached a ‘mature’ stage impying that some practices, eg, in vitro fertilization (IVF), have become standard worldwide. In focus are contemporary political debates triggered by ARTs, and the varying ways in which societies deal with ARTs, worldwide, depending on religious, moral and political approaches. Such differences are analysed, based on original research contributions from a variety of countries in Europe and beyond. The volume demonstrates how differently ARTs are interpreted and practised in different contexts, for example, confronting discussions of surrogacy practices from the perspective of the global South and the global North. Early feminist struggles framed ARTs in terms of technoscience gaining control over women’s bodies, but also as providing possibilities for freeing women from childbirth as a way to gender equality. More recently, however, ARTs have been celebrated as a facilitator of queer family-building, while surrogacy, egg and embryo donation has been criticized as exploitation of women’s reproductive labour. Contributors pinpoint that central contemporary concerns are in/equalities in terms of access to ARTs and the transnational biocapitalist traffic in gametes and gestational labour.
