Beyond the Weapon-of War Thesis : Ordered and Enabled Wartime Sexual Violence
- 2021
-
Reports (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- This research brief presents the current state of research knowledge on the array of different types of wartime sexual violence. Drawing on the collective body of research, the brief introduces a novel categorisation of wartime sexual violence built on the distinction between ‘ordered’ and ‘enabled’ wartime sexual violence. Ordered sexual violence is carried out on the basis of explicit authorization or instruction, and generally has a strategic political and/or military purpose. Enabled sexual violence is not necessarily related to a strategic objective but is mainly facilitated by weak accountability mechanisms and norms that are supportive of sexual coercion.

Sydafrika : en regnbågsnation föds
- 1995
-
Book (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- De senaste åren har inneburit omvälvande förändringar i Sydafrika. Denna bok skildrar den tid och de händelser som ledde fram till att Sydafrika förvandlades från en minoritetsstyrd rasistisk diktatur till en demokrati. Författarna diskuterar också de frågor, risker och möjligheter som kan uppstå under övergångstiden mellan det första valet i april 1994 och nästa val 1999. Arvet efter apartheid inom snart sagt alla samhällssektorer diskuteras och ANC:s och den nuvarande samlingsregeringens politik för det nya Sydafrika analyseras.Tillräcklig historisk bakgrund ges för att boken ska kunna läsas utan annan introduktion till landet. Boken kan användas både för enskild läsning och för gruppstudier eller projektstudier i skolan.

African families in a global context
- 2006
-
Reports (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- The family is one of the most important institutions of African societies. Where is it going today? How is it affected by global processes, cultural and political as well as economic? How does it compare with family developments in other parts of the world? These are questions, which this report addresses. It deals with – the African family in a comparative global context, focusing on patriarchy, sexuality and marriage, and fertility;– biological and social reproduction in Ghana under conditions of globalization and structural adjustment;– Nigerian marriage relations under the impact of current conditions;– family changes in the North (Britain) viewed from and compared with a family perspective from the South (South Africa).

Predicting an Uncertain Infrastructure
- 2013
-
In: Embassy Newsletter – Economic and Promotional News from West Africa. - Abuja : Embassy of Sweden Abuja. ; winter
-
Journal article (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Recently, our research project ‘Infrastructure as Divination: Urban Life in the Postcolony’ received funding from the Swedish Research Council. This three-year project explores the often overlooked qualitative aspects of infrastructure, and focuses on how the inhabitants in the Nigerian city of Jos try to predict the comings and goings of the infrastructure, as well as how they, through the infrastructure itself, try to predict the future of the city and the nation. Hence the word ‘divination’ in the title, which means ‘prediction,’ ‘prophecy,’ or ‘forecast.’

Suprastructure : A photo exhibition
- 2013
-
Book (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- The photo exhibition ’Suprastructure’ was first displayed at Museum Gustavianum in Uppsala between 17 November 2012 and 5 March 2013. It was digitally published in March 2013 as part of a research project entitled ‘Infrastructure as Divination: Urban Life in the Postcolony,’ financed by the Swedish Research Council. The scholars behind the exhibition, Ulrika and Erik Trovalla, are researchers in cultural anthropology and ethnology. They are based at the Nordic Africa Institute, Uppsala, and Uppsala University. Drawing on their photographs from the million city Jos in central Nigeria, they here give a glimpse of their research into the meanings of infrastructure in everyday life.
