Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The chapters of this volume report on the activities carried out within the frame of the fourth research theme of the Centre of Gender Excellence (GEXcel) at Linköping University during 2009.During 2009, GEXcel launched Themes 4 and 5 together as a joint venture: ‘Sexual health, embodiment and empowerment: Bridging epistemological gaps.’ Theme 4 was summarised as: ‘Gender and violence – mechanisms, anti-mechanisms, interventions, evaluations.’ Theme 5 had two subthemes: a) Feminist and queer perspectives on sex education, sexual empowerment and pleasure, and b) Critical sexology. Theme 4 was headed by Professor Barbro Wijma, and Professor Nina Lykke was leader for Theme 5. The section on ‘Bridging epistemological gaps’ was jointly led by Barbro Wijma and Nina Lykke.In this report, the activities of Theme 4 have been documented, and those of Theme 5 will be followed up in a forthcoming separate volume. The present volume is of a work-in-progress character and the texts are therefore to be elaborated further. The contributions from non-native speakers of English have been specifically revised by a professional editor. The editors have only made minor suggestions for revision of texts to increase clarity, and the content of the chapters are thus the authors’ own responsibility. The chapter by Johan Galtung on Cultural Violence has been reprinted from his book Peace by Peaceful Means, Peace and Conflict, Development and Civilization, 1996 by permission from Sage Publications Ltd.We would like to thank Katherine Harrison and Berit Starkman for all their assistance in the arrangements for Theme 4 and in the preparation of this volume, Liz Sourbut for English language revision of the manuscripts, Anna G Jónasdóttir for invaluable advice on applicants for GEXcel, and Nina Lykke for her support as GEXcel Director.

GEXcel work in progress report Volume XIII : Proceedings from the conference: Violences and silences : shaming, blaming - and intervening October 12th-14th, 2010, Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden : GEXcel theme 7: Getting rid of violence : TRANSdiciplinary, TRANSnational and TRANSformative feminist dialogues on embodiment, emotions and ethics : Autumn 2010

Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This volume presents many of the lectures given at the conference which took place in Linköping on 12th – 14th October 2010: Violences and Silences: Shaming, Blaming – and Intervening (see Appendix for program). Thirty-five participants gathered from all over the world and gave lectures and seminar papers on the most varying topics. Due to the rather small format of the conference, many new contacts arose and several new research networks were created during and in the aftermath of the conference.All participants were invited to submit papers for this volume and we were delighted that so many of them did.The conference took place during the seventh research theme of the Centre of Gender Excellence, GEXcel, during the autumn 2010 in Linköping: Getting Rid of Violence. TRANSdisciplinary, TRANSnational and TRANSformative Feminist Dialogues on Embodiment, Emotions and Ethics. In short, the theme was called The Violence Theme. During this theme, invited GEXcel scholars were working with their research projects at the Department of Gender Studies, Linköping University for various periods of time, and during the period from October till December 2010 all of them were in place. A very dynamic research milieu was thus created, which probably is reflected also in the outcome of the conference, and might be visible also in the present book.This volume is literally a “Work in Progress” report, meaning that some of its texts are not preliminary as to intellectual content but will in future be elaborated more before they are finally published. Only some minor editorial comments and suggestions have been exchanged between the authors and the editors. The texts from authors who do not have the English language as their native tongue have gone through a formal language check by a native English speaking editor.We thank Berit Starkman, Björn Pernrud, Ulrica Engdahl, and Claire Tucker for all their efforts in the practical arrangements for the theme and the conference, Ka Schmitz for the illustrations for the programme, Liz Sourbut for excellent work with English language corrections and Tomas Hägg for his careful work with the printing of this book.
