- In this paper I argue that the bodies of artists and makers are actually performing authenticity. The bodies in the making of craft and the visual representation of this making of craft , are key figures in showing how and where craft is being made, literary and metaphorically speaking. Throughout the history that is being on display in for example design- and crafts magazines, visual representations of making are linking objects to a certain time and place. My understanding of performing or rather performativity, is informed by the theorists such as Judith Butler and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick for whom the relationship between saying and doing has become the centre of attention (Sedgwick 1993; Butler 1997; 1999). Although not focusing on the actual making of craft, Butler's theories on gender concerned with ‘doing’ rather than ‘being’ are useful in looking at craft from a critical perspective on what is being done. In introducing her concept of gender performativity, Butler proposes that gender is to be understood neither as an entity nor as a set of free floating attributes, but instead, as continuously being done. In her seminal text Gender Trouble from 1990 she writes ‘gender is itself a kind of becoming or activity to be conceived /…/ as an incessant and repeated action of some sort’ (Butler 1999: 112). The attributes ascribed to gender are performative, Butler says. So if repeated action makes up the patterns, that are thought of as feminine or masculine, and in turn are making gender, maybe repetition is key in performing authenticity in the making of Craft Made in Dalarna or Småland?

”Mainstreaming Gender as a Subversive and/or Affirmative action”
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Hundra år av svensk konsthistoria – och sen?.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Since gender mainstreaming was launched by the end of the 20th century to promote gender equality in policy making as well as universities and has since found its way into program plans as well as evaluations documents. Gender mainstreaming introduced a gender equality perspective and was introduced as a successor to implementation of affirmative or positive action in political decision-making. But has it challenged the gender distribution in a profound way? Has it changed the way Art History is being taught or has it rather been used as an alibi for neutralizing positive action?

The struggles of co-creation : The highs and lows of involving stakeholders into the service design process

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents our experiences from a research project on how to co-develop new methods for idea generation within a service design practice. As an example the paper describes how service designers used two visual inquiry methods together with customers and employees in different service situations. The results show that that there is great potential in developing methods for co-design work based on design approaches. This project relies on a mindset where materials of different kinds, that can be organized and reorganized in different ways are used. This supports a way of creating knowledge that facilitates production of other results than the purely verbal. We have also realized that it requires a great amount of work to achieve a great result.

Experiencing, Exploring and Experimenting in and with Co- Design Spaces
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the Nordic Design Research Conference: 'Making Design Matter'. - Helsinki : NORDES. ; , s. 298-302
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The concept of design space has been useful to designers in supporting the act of designing and for reflecting on the activity of designing. With the increase in cooperative design practices, it is time to consider the concept of co-design space. Co-design spaces differ from design spaces in that they tend to be situated in the early front end of the design process (also referred to as pre-design), they rely on the collective creativity of designers working together with non-designers, they deal with very complex challenges such as social change and organizational transformation, and they often point to embodiments in the immaterial domains such as experiences and services. We will argue that we can add greatly to our understanding of design by experiencing, exploring and experimenting in and with co-design spaces.

Regarding Design as a Constituting Practice Matters
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the Nordic Design Research Conference: 'Making Design Matter', Helsinki: NORDES. - Helsinki : NORDES. ; , s. 308-311
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper explores how the two concepts of representing and constituting are used in relation to design practice. The terms representing and representation are often used to describe the relation a model or prototype has to the end result. In this exploratory paper we investigate the potential impact of a change in terms, from represent to constitute. One inspiration is the writing of John Stewart on the post-semiotic approach to communication. The examples used in the paper are from practice rooted in both traditional industrial design and co-design. I argue that it is important to see design work as a constituting practice rather than a representative one. Supporting this standpoint are both the fact that the future does not yet exist and therefore is difficult to represent, and the strong argument that knowledge is created in dialogue and constituted in action. Thus, when we stop interpreting design matter as representations, design can matter to the world.
