AI, law and (anti)fascism
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Critical Legal Conference.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Taking que from Maria Hlavajova and Wietske Maas (eds) Propositions for Non-Fascist Living: Tentative and Urgent this stream asks about the figuration of law and fascism embedded in the posthuman condition: What, where, how, and why do we need to attend to fascism in our everyday lives as living with the law? Why look to present iterations of fascism in emerging technologies which we, as already more-than-human, or humans +, are entangled with when state fascism from the past and present still haunts present democratic forms of governance? Specifically, the stream invites critical assessments of the relations between AI, law and (anti) fascism. How is fascism part of the posthuman legal condition and, conversely, how does anti-fascism take form as part of it? The stream takes as its starting position an understanding of (micro-) fascism in the posthuman condition as follows: Fascism is immanent to desiring-production: fascism "seems to come from the outside, but it finds its energy right at the heart of everyone's desire." (Guattari 1995: 245). Fascism is everywhere and to desire is to activate it in some measure at different scales within a microphysics of power relations. Fascism is not merely a historical phenomenon (with German, Italian and Spanish varieties) that has passed away and will never happen again; it is not outside, that is, retrievable and renewable like a complete artifact, in that respect. This is one of many ways in which to consider fascism in the posthuman condition.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna keynote ger en inblick i hur AI och liknande "nya teknologier" förändrar samhället, hur detta påverkar vem eller vad som deltar i samhället och ingår i "samhällskontraktet", samt hur vi från olika forsknings- och samhälleliga demokratiska perspektiv kan belysa de utmaningar som förändringarna innebär.

Artificial Intelligence, Decision Making and International Law
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Nordic Journal of International Law. - 0902-7351. ; 92:84, s. 1-8
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The question how artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning (ML), impacts on law in general, and on international law in particular, has gained more and more traction in recent years. Ensuing debates have mainly homed in on threats and opportunities posed to law by this technology, and remained on a rather abstract level. Our text gives an introduction to the field of AI, decision making and international law, narrowing our focus to what we see as a critical area of empirically grounded and granular research in AI, decision making and international law. The overarching question for the special issue of which this text is an introduction to, is how AI, including AI-supported and automated decision making, might impact on decisions we take in international law. This allows us to track how technologically induced practice makes its way into domestic law, and, potentially, from there onwards into international law. Our text sets out some core tenants of this field, and argues that more nuanced and empirically grounded inter- and intra-disciplinary is needed in order to respond to contemporary questions and concerns of AI, decision making and international law

Being Together - The Silent Touch of Plants. A Posthuman Account of Life, Death, and More-than-Human Kinship
- 2024
-
Ingår i: The Fatigue Files Podcast.
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this podcast episode, Professor Anna Grear speaks with Dr Matilda Arvidsson. Drawing on posthuman feminism, Matilda recounts her journey with non-human others in the form of plants as kin in a relationship of 'being together'. The conversation, which also touches on trauma, violence, life and death, invites a refreshing appreciation of how our relationship with non-humans are foundational to our own selves.

Digital Echoes: Listening to New Normativities in International Law and Technology
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Völkerrechtsblog.
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The first season of “Digital Echoes” brings together leading scholars in international law, international relations and legal theory to present their work and discuss the implications of an ever-increasing digitisation of socio-economic life from an (international) legal perspective. We have assembled a stellar group of thinkers who invite us to explore how Digital Technologies are changing and challenging the modes in which law and governance operate. How to formulate questions to address the relationship between international law and technology and its implications for governance? They invite us to think with them about what it means to talk about digital spaces or digital rights. To contemplate the topologies of normativity that these terms connote and to investigate how power operates in techno legal assemblages? Enjoy listening! In this podcast Andrea Leiter, Delphine Dogot, Matilda Arvidsson, Fleur Johns and Dimitri Van Den Meerssche explore different ways of how they came to engage with international law and technology.

Eating, meat, catastrophe : Stream, Critical Legal Conference, Warwick 1-3 September 2017

Ingår i: Critical Legal Conference 2017 Stream, Warwick 1-3 September 2017..

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Human life depends on and is sustained by the death and consummation of others. Unless we eat something or someone we cannot live ourselves. Yet, we divide over what, how, and who to eat. This stream asks us to consider how our eating of others (plants, human-, and non-human animals) sustains our standing in a global legal-political order of gendered speciesism. Through technology of eating, we imperviously transform living entities into objects for us to eat, while simultaneously disclosing (sexual) politics of our eating (Adams, 2015). You are what you eat as Han Kang’s The Vegetarian (2009) solicitously portrays. Consuming is not simply an ethical choice but also a profoundly ontological one, or as Stanescu suggests ‘a perpetual process of self-metamorphosis’ (2012, 39). Part of such a process is to define what constitutes meat – is ‘meatless’ in vitro meat (IVM), promising animal liberation and cleaner environment, meat? (Stephens, 2013) – and devouring others. But does constant boundary-work risk to turn us into a standing-reserve of future consumption (Heidegger, 1977: 27), of us turning into cannibals ready to mutilate and enslave (Engle, 1992: 1519)? Would cannibal veganism amount to greater realization of rights of both consumed and consumer or into a catastrophic collapse of our relationship with Nature and the animal-in-us (Viveiros de Castro 2014 & Sutton 2017)? Taking the overall theme of the conference ‘catastrophe’ to mean the life-producing, slow, everyday event of being through the death of others this stream asks if what, how, and whom we eat may tell us something important about our moral and legal standing.

Evangelical Lutheran Mission, Law, and the Colonial State as Corporation: The “Thick” and the “Thin” of Sovereign Power in the Congo Free State, 1881–1908
- 2024

Ingår i: The Laureate Research Program ‘Global Corporations & International Law’ podcast, Melbourne Law School, Australia.

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In 1881 Swedish Evangelical Lutheran missionaries from The Mission Covenant Church of Sweden (Svenska missionsförbundet) arrived at the entry of the Kongo river – there to stay until Congolese independence in 1961. While nominally in Congo to ‘christen the heathens,’ and to provide the teachings and structures needed to build a Christian model society, the Swedes became actively implicated in the colonial works of state-building. Several became civil servants – Officers Civile d’Etat – in the Free State. Yet, as the Free State gradually emerged as a ‘thin’ state, primarily operating as a corporation aiming at extracting natural resources from Congo – maximizing commercial profits for export to Europe, and implementing capitalist structures of labour and taxation – the Swedes took on ‘thick’ sovereign powers of state building: performing as Rule of Law actors in makeshift courts of law – implementing a combined version of pre-colonial Bakongo norms, Congo Free State Decrees, and Swedish Lutheran theological norms – setting up an education system, health clinics, and not the least insisting on eradicating the Bakongo matrilineal kinship structures and putting a strictly patriarchal, heterosexual, nuclear family structure in its place. This paper is based on archival work of the largest surviving archive on pre-colonial Congo and the Congo Free State, at the Swedish National Archives (Riksarkivet) in Stockholm. In contrast to previous research, which place the Swedish missionaries as colonial actors, I argue that the Swedes were state builders and Rule of Law actors deeply implicated with the Congo Free State, providing the ‘thick’ work so that the colonialists of the Free State could pursue its ‘thin’. Due acknowledgement to my project partner Dr Simon Larsson, University of Gothenburg, for his extensive archival work enabling this paper, as well as to Maxim Buchet, for research assistance and translation of original research documents from the French.
