Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- While literature on memory and dictatorship in Latin America is extensive and narratives departing fromthe memories of children are evolving, the (gendered) intergenerational processes at the core of theexperience of military terror, from the specific location of the diaspora, have so far been marginal in bothresearch and in public debates. What is the language through which collective experiences of violence andpolitical persecution are told to the next generation in diaspora contexts? What does it mean to articulatenarratives from the dictatorship in Chile with memories emerging from the diaspora located in Sweden?This understanding is a vital point of departure in our study of young female adults whose parents came toSweden after the Pinochet military takeover, a group that we here refer to as the daughters of the Chileandiaspora in Sweden

DE EXPLORADORES, TOPONIMIAS Y POSTCOLONIALISMO : REPENSANDO LA PRESENCIA DE SUECIA EN LA PATAGONIA
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Magallania. - 0718-0209 .- 0718-2244. ; :51
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The presence of Swedish names in the Patagonian landscapes reveals early connections between Chile and Sweden that call for further exploration. Taking as its starting point the travelogues of the Swedish explorer Otto Nordenskjöld who visited these regions at the end of the 19th century, this article analyzes the nature of these connections from a postcolonial perspective, emphasizing the author’s academic tradition and his position in the geopolitics of knowledge. From this point of view, it is argued that the Nordenskjöld expedition and his account of this region are inscribed in a domination project that not only include the (re)naming of places and the erasure of ancestral memories, but is also closely connected to the taxonomist tradition of scientific racism in Sweden. The collection of human remains and the appropriation of indigenous artefacts to be exhibited, examined and commercialized as racialized items in Sweden highlight problematic linkages between the expedition of Nordenskjöld and the colonization of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego

Depleted bodies : intersectional perspectives on workplace violence
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Re-Imagining Sexual Harassment. - Bristol : Policy Press. - 9781447366522 - 9781447366546 ; , s. 33-47
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The starting point in this chapter is the discrepancy between far-reaching gender policies in the workplace and persistent expressions of gender violence and work-related ill health in Sweden. Based on intersectional perspectives and inspired by social reproduction theories, the analysis focuses on the different ways that workplace violence depletes women’s capacity to replenish themselves and their capacity to deal with everyday life. Testimonies from different workplaces suggest the need for analysis that goes beyond individual acts and organisational management practices and also problematises how workplace violence depletes female workers’ capacity to live sustainable lives. A central argument is that workplace violence must be approached not solely as a failure of gender policies but rather as an expression of structural and intertwined hierarchies of power that shape subordinate and vulnerable positions along lines of gender, class, sexuality and national belonging. Moreover, to grasp the consequences of this violence it is necessary to transcend traditional boundaries between working life and private life and explore how the lack of replenishment after female workers’ experiences of violence is perceived, transmitted and suffered in their affective and social life.

Motherwork, Daughterwork : Exploring Activist Mothering within the Latin American Diaspora in Sweden
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Meridians. - 1536-6936 .- 1547-8424. ; 22:1, s. 58-75
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores how young women born in Sweden, or arriving in Sweden as toddlers, who belong to the Latin American diaspora give meaning to and act on their experiences of being the daughters of migrant mothers, whose political activism shapes their views and practices of mothering and migration. The analysis is inspired by feminist/antiracist methodologies and consists of eight in-depth interviews with young adult women, all of them daughters of political refugees who came to Sweden to escape persecution by the military dictatorships in Latin America in the late 1970s. The interviews are combined with two focus groups that took place in the two largest Swedish cities. The category we will bring to light is that of the daughters; adults now, aged between thirty and forty-five (six of them mothers themselves). The central question in this article is what perceptions of mothering can be articulated from the perspective of daughters of Latin American migrant mothers, in a context where memories of political persecution and exile and experiences of institutional and everyday racism shape the conditions of motherwork for both the migrant mothers and their daughters.

Ambivalent solidaritet : Nation, migration och rasifiering i Svenska Kommunalarbetareförbundet 1972-2002
- 2023
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis explores the historical relationship between the Swedish labour movement and the complex issues of migration, ethnic discrimination, and racism. More specifically, it analyses the way in which the Swedish Municipal Workers’ Union (Kommunal) understood, formulated, and problematized migration and racism between 1972 and 2002. While previous research on Kommunal has primarily focused on class and gender dynamics within the Union, this study broadens the focus to investigate the intersection between race/ethnicity, nation, and national belonging within a labour union that has been of paradigmatic importance in the formation of the Swedish welfare state.The study departs from the theoretical premise that social communities, like the Swedish nation, rely on the establishment of discursive boundaries of both inclusion and exclusion. Based on this, it employs the concepts of differential inclusion and racialization to analyse how Kommunal defined these boundaries concerning migration, migrant workers, and racism. By analysing a wide range of source material, including reports, investigations, and study materials produced by Kommunal since the 1970s, it further elucidates how differentiating discourses have shaped distinctions among various groups, both within the Union and in the context of child caregiving work. The results show that Kommunal’s solidarity with migrant workers during the investigated period was marked by ambivalence. While the Union aimed to include migrant workers and to promote their rights, it continuously depicted them as inherently different, attributing to them an immigrant-ness that was imagined as something passed down from one generation to the next. Despite changes in rhetoric and policy, this racialized boundary, which functioned to distinguish 'Swedes' from 'immigrants', remained remarkably resilient. As a result, migration to Sweden was understood by Kommunal as being the underlying cause of racism and xenophobia. Kommunal also reduced both racism and xenophobia to either anti-immigration sentiments or marginal cases of violent acts.The thesis concludes that Kommunal’s framing of migration to Sweden, its portrayal of migrant workers as fundamentally different, and its interpretation of racism as a marginal phenomenon, together contributed to reinforcing an image of Sweden as a modern, rational, egalitarian, and tolerant nation. This highlights the complex relationship between racialization and the broader nation-building project in Sweden. It also sheds light on the aspects of nation-building, racialization, and gender inherent in labour union interest formation. Consequently, these findings have relevance in contemporary debates on migration, ethnicity, and national identity, both within Sweden and on a global scale.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Images of migrant mothers have been a powerful marker for otherness in discourses of gender, migration and racialisation in Sweden. These women are often described as a problematic group in official discourses on labour-market policy, social welfare and gender equality. Taking as its point of departure the belief that knowledge production constitutes a central arena for deploying relations of power, the purpose of this article is to explore how migrant women’s experiences of motherhood have been represented in the Swedish Government Official Reports (SOU). What conditions of (im)possibility for motherhood, everyday life and integration into Swedish society are expressed in these government reports? How is the position of migrant mothers related to working conditions, intergenerational transmissions and reproduction dilemmas? The article focuses on the years between 1970 and 2000, a period that was characterised by profound transformations in Swedish society expressed not only in changing migration regulations and new gendered divisions of labour but also in the emergence of racialised patterns of inequality in housing, the labour market and access to social welfare. In so doing, the article contributes from the perspective of economic history to contemporary debates on the nexus between migration and racialisation in postcolonial societies.

- This article examines how intersectional perspectives can contribute to a deeperunderstanding of the operations of power in a context of sanitary crisis whiledelivering a reflection on the theoretical premises and political potential of theseperspectives in the historic situation we are experiencing. The central argumentis that intersectional approaches not only help us understand the differentiatingimpact of sanitary measures on the structural inequalities that construct the so-cial order, but they also allow us to identify how this order can be transgressed,resisted and negotiated in a crisis situation

Vad hände sen? Våld, trygghet och tankar om en annan framtid efter oroligheterna i Husby 2013

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Vad hände efter oroligheterna i Husby 2013? Med avstamp i Stuart Hallsbegrepp konjunktur (conjuncture) och utifrån intervjuer med boende i Husby, analyserar Marcus Lauri och Paulina de los Reyes i sin artikel oroligheternas efterspel och demöjliga utvecklingsvägar som kunde ha lett till en annan situation än den vi ser idag.Deras analys visar att oroligheterna skapade en diskursiv öppning där myndigheters,polisens och politikers förståelser av våld och trygghet tillfälligt utmanades, men dennaöppning stängdes igen när de boendes röster tystades i det offentliga samtalet. Idag utgården dominerande diskursen om förorten återigen från etablissemangets perspektiv ävenom den fortfarande utmanas av gräsrotsaktivister som hävdar att förekomsten av våldoch tillgång till fysisk och ekonomisk trygghet är beroende av var man bor och var manbefinner sig i den sociala hierarkin. Lauri och de los Reyes drar därför slutsatsen att diskursen fortfarande är öppen och att framtida sociala kriser – konjunkturer – förmodligenkommer att ge utrymme för nya diskurser som kan leda till andra möjlighetshorisonter

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Market adaptation, fragmentation and precariousness have been widely documented as problematic features of knowledge production processes in the university. This article follows an undercurrent of critical scholarship to explore how paths of resistance can be opened up by researching otherwise. The article builds on autoethnographic notes from a collective and non-funded research project aimed at gathering in situ narratives from people who experienced the 2013 Stockholm Riots. The research strategy behind this project, its organization as well as its results and reception, is here used as a point of departure to scrutinize the conditions of the possibility of critical knowledge production. The article draws attention to a critical place for doing research – in the cracks of the university – which arguably complicates the academic–public divide and keeps open discursive spaces during troubling moments of closure.
