Heritage, Gentrification and Resistance in the Neoliberal City
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- What happens when versions of the past become silenced, suppressed, or privileged due to urban restructuring? In what ways are the interpretations and performances of ‘the past’ linked to urban gentrification, marginalization, displacement, and social responses? Authors explore a variety of attempts to interrupt and interrogate urban restructuring, and to imagine alternative forms of urban organization, produced by diverse coalitions of resisting groups and individuals. Armed with historical narratives, oral histories, objects, physical built environment, memorials, and intangible aspects of heritage that include traditions, local knowledge and experiences, memories, authors challenge the ‘devaluation’ of their neighborhoods in official heritage and development narratives.

Whiteness
- 2022
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- The socially constructed phenomenon of whiteness: how it was created, how it changes, and how it protects and privileges people who are perceived as white.This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series examines the socially constructed phenomenon of whiteness, tracing its creation, its changing formation, and its power to privilege and protect people who are perceived as white. Whiteness, author Martin Lund explains, is not one single idea but a shifting, overarching category, a flexible cluster of historically, culturally, and geographically contingent ideals and standards that enable systems of hierarchical classification. Lund discusses words used to talk about whiteness, from white privilege to white fragility; the intersections of whiteness with race, class, and gender; whiteness in popular culture; and such ideas as “colorblindness” and “reverse racism,” which, he argues, actually uphold whiteness.Lund shows why it is important to keep talking and thinking about whiteness. The word “whiteness,” he writes, doesn't describe; it conjures something into being. Drawing on decades of critical whiteness studies and citing a range of examples (primarily from the United States and Sweden), Lund argues that whiteness is continually manufactured and sustained through language, laws, policies, science, and representations in media and popular culture. It is often positioned as normative, even universal. And despite its innocuous-seeming manifestations in sitcoms and superheroes, whiteness is always in the service of racial domination.

"När han är arg är han turkisk". Identitetsskapande i Lin Hallbergs kompisbokstrilogi
- 2008

Ingår i: EDUCARE. - : Malmö högskola, Lärarutbildningen. - 1653-1868 .- 2004-5190. ; 4:1, s. 7-25

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- With a background in current theories of identification and identifying processes, our aim is to study how ideologies of identity interpellate children in narrative texts such as Lin Hallberg’s trilogy of Kompisboken, Bästisboken and Svikarboken. We study how the texts offer, mirror and perform various identities in their characterization of children and adults in a multicultural context. The issue is how the different characters are created through chains of articulation, of equivalence and difference, of properties, actions and performances. The four main child characters are construed around two dyads – male and female, native and foreign – and as well as the minor characters – parents and teachers – they display subject positions which are restricted and basically locked in a normative matrix. Thus, these texts do not afford children alternative identity constructions or resistance to stereotypical identities of gender or ethnicity.

Att leva med bakterier : Möjligheter till ett levbart immunitärt liv
- 2021
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Att leva med bakterier: möjligheter till ett levbart immunitärt liv är en antologi som tvärvetenskapligt undersöker betydelsen av bakteriers växande antibiotikaresistens. Detta är en förändring som håller på att göra antibiotikan ineffektiv och därmed omskapa den mänskliga historien på lång sikt. Det uppskattas att tio miljoner människor år 2050 kommer att dö av infektioner som inte längre svarar på den i dag tillgängliga antibiotikan. Hur kan vi här och nu hitta alternativa vägar mot en mer levbar framtid – med eller utan verksam antibiotika? Antologin är ett resultat av det tvärvetenskapliga forskarsamarbete som under 2019-20 bedrevs vid Pufendorfinstitutet, Lunds universitetet under Temat Postantibiotiska framtider. I antologin utvecklar tio forskare sina tankar och idéer kring hur samhället idag och i morgon kan utformas för att hantera smittämnen som bakterier och virus i vår vardag. Smittämnen det i framtiden kanske inte finns något botemedel mot.

The contingent futures of the mobile present : automation as possibility
- 2018

Ingår i: Mobilities. - Abingdon : Routledge. - 1745-0101 .- 1745-011X. ; 13:5, s. 615-631
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article we outline and demonstrate a design anthropological approach to investigating automated mobile futures as a processual opening up of possibilities, rather than as a process of technological innovation. To undertake this we investigate the example of how the car-smartphone relationship is configuring in the contingent circumstances of the mobile present and the implications of this for automated mobile futures. Our discussion is set in the context of the growing possibility that automonous driving (AD) features are increasingly part of everyday mobilities (even if unequally distributed globally) and in which personal mobile smart technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) will exist in some form and will interface with humans and be interoperable with other technologies. In developing this we draw on ethnographic understandings of how people live with the possibilities afforded by technologies in everyday life. © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group

Doing Conservation Differently: Toward a Diverse Conservations Inventory
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Ethnobiology Letters. - : Society of Ethnobiology. - 2159-8126. ; 14:2, s. 1-9
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Many scientists and environmental activists argue that the scale and scope of contemporary conservation must increase dramatically if we are to halt biodiversity declines and sustain a healthy planet. Yet conservation as currently practiced has faced significant critique for its reliance on reductionist science, advocacy of “fortress”-like preservation measures that disproportionately harm marginalized communities, and integration into the global capitalist system that is the root cause of environmental degradation. The contributions to this special issue, developed from a panel at the Anthropology and Conservation conference co-hosted by the Royal Anthropological Institute and the Society of Ethnobiology in October 2021, collectively argue for what we, borrowing from Gibson-Graham’s diverse economies framework, call “doing conservation differently.” By bringing marginalized, hidden, and alternative conservation activities to light, researchers can contribute, in the spirit of Gibson-Graham’s work, to making these diverse conservations more real and credible as objects of policy and activism. This special issue contributes to inventorying the diverse conservations that already exist, which opens new spaces for ethical intervention and collective action.

Intersectionality and climate policy-making: The inclusion of social difference by three Swedish government agencies
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Environment and Planning C: Politics and Space. - : SAGE Publications. - 2399-6544 .- 2399-6552. ; 40:1, s. 180-200

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Climate change effects, views and approaches vary based on geographical location, class, gender, age and other climate related social factors. It is thus relevant to explore how various government bodies/authorities involved in dealing with climate change represent and act on social difference across diverse societies. This article performs a discourse analysis of climate policy documents from three Swedish government agencies: the Transport Administration, the Energy Agency, and the Environmental Protection Agency. This in order to explore how the different agencies represent social difference: what is made visible; what is obscured; what are the implications? We collected a purposive, collated sample of literature through online searches and personal communications with agency staff. We apply an intersectional approach to the sampled literature. The article finds that while each agency articulates an awareness of social difference, this tends to manifest in broad terms. It argues that this has the effect of obscuring differential climate impacts and effects of climate action, with potential environmental justice implications. Finally, the article concludes by proposing that incorporating intersectional approaches will support more effective, inclusive and equitable climate action, in Sweden and elsewhere.
