Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article probes the relationship between hope and security, looking at how hope is appropriated and used by the US security apparatus under President Obama to pre-empt radicalisation. It looks specifically at strategic narratives designed to infuse hope within the global Muslim population – identified in US security discourse as being particularly vulnerable to terrorist recruitment. While critical studies of security often articulate hope and security to be diametrically opposed concepts, this article shows that hope not only is an active and important part of contemporary technologies and logics of security, but also that hope can be productive of the insecurities, fear and exclusions that such politics often is assumed to entail. The use of hope within US counterterrorism communications further indicates that, rather than a subversive force, hope has come to legitimise some of the key facets of post 9/11 politics of security, namely the identification of human nature as a site of potential danger, the invocation of permanent intervention, the radical exclusion of the global Muslim population from political rights, and, not the least, the effective denial of our capacity to imagine another world, free from the insecurities of our political present.

The Use of Hope : Biopolitics of Security During the Obama Presidency
- 2018
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Through a compilation of four research articles, this PhD thesis investigates ‘hope’ as a biopolitical technology. It interrogates the use of hope by the United States security apparatus, on the one hand, to pre-empt processes of radicalisation and, on the other hand, to prepare the subject of security to cope with permanent insecurity. The dissertation analyses the security dis- course of the Obama Administrations 2009 – 2016, paying particular atten- tion to strategic narratives of hope across three principal domains of US secu- rity: diplomacy, development and military. The thesis thereby renders visible a set of ambiguous relations between hope and insecurity in US foreign poli- cy during the Obama period: between hate and hope in the domain of (public) diplomacy; between despair and hope in the domain of development; and between fear and hope in the military domain. To analyse the respective strategic narratives, the thesis employs a theoretical framework drawn from Giorgio Agamben’s theory of biopolitics, through which hope appears as a means of governing the future, a technology employed to regulate processes of subjectification. The dissertation’s theoretical ambition is to question a central assumption undergirding important critique of the post-9/11 biopoliti- cal condition: namely that practices of security are inherently at odds with hope, operating through discourses and practices of fear and suffering to reduce the capacity to hope within the global populace. By analysing the appropriation of hope by US security discourse, the thesis explores how prac- tices of security works through hope to achieve security. US security dis- course achieves this by means of constituting a particular form of hopeful life: an individualised and resilient form of neoliberal life who is called to embody an indistinction between fear, despair, hate and hope.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The framework of resilience has been claimed to strip bodies of both hope and the promise of the future, reducing life to mere biology, concerned only with its survivability. This article interrogates such claims by critical theory, analysing the definitions of life and time embedded in them. Reading the figure of human nature as it appears in US President Obama's call for a common humanity – united by hope in a world of insurmountable insecurity – this article asks what promises structure liberal subjectivity when security and universalism are seemingly abandoned. Through the lens of Agambian biopolitics, I argue that resilient life is produced not in opposition to hope, but as its embodiment, turning indefinite insecurity into a continuous experience of hope, and hence into a structure of promise. As such, I submit that the hopeful life today has become the barest of all, engendered by the production of a paradoxical temporal indistinction between an open future and the inevitability of catastrophe.

Recognising hope : US global development discourse and the promise of despair

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Practices of global development have been critiqued for reproducing a notion of the suffering poor as bare life; passive, despairing and devoid of both hope and potentiality. In contrast, this article treats the experience of hope not as external to the governance of underdeveloped life but as a biopolitical technology central to its formation. Reading US President Obama’s call to recognise underdeveloped life as inherently hopeful and potential, this article analyses the biopolitics of development at the moment when the separation between lives on the basis of its capacity for hope is explicitly banished. Emerging from this reading is a troubling paradox, one in which hope and despair enter a zone of indistinction. Encouraged to embody this indistinction, it is argued, is a bare and hopeful form of neoliberal life, a potential yet not sovereign being. Hopeful, but without the capacity to conceive of or to act towards a different future.

Gender regimes, citizen participation and rural restructuring
- 2008
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- This book aims to unravel how rural gender regimes are constituted, enforced, made sense of and resisted, and ho struggles of resistance lead to empowerment and change in various countries in the four corners of Europe as well s Australia and India. The book focuses on the intricate relationship between laws and institutions and everyday life. It analyzes on the one hand how laws and institutions are constituted and on the other hand how gender regimes are built at the local rural level, sometimes in compliance with these frames and sometimes contesting them, The articles, in diverse ways, give voice both to women’s struggles for recognition and men’s voices in gendered rural societies. Through applying the concept of the welfare state and gender regimes within rural research, this book contributes to the further development of a comparative theoretical framework for rural gender studies. The importance of integrating rural gender studies into both the mainstreams of rural and feminist research has been emphasized in previous research, as has that of developing comparative analytical frameworks. The conceptual framework adopted in this volume wets out to meet this challenge by approaching rural gender relations and the meeting point of two core research areas: gender regimes and rural transformative processes. Research into gender regimes offers a promising analytical framework for comparing gender relations in diverse rural settings. At the same time, by addressing rural concerns deriving from the specificity of rural transition processes and gender regimes, the approach also contributes to an elucidation of the complexity of citizenship.

Vad gör elitens söner i skolan?
- 2007
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Könsdifferentieringen av utbildningsresultat i grundskola och gymnasieskola har i Sverige liksom internationellt rönt stor uppmärksamhet. Främst har diskussionen kommit att handla om huruvida dagens pojkar möter svårigheter med att förena maskulina praktiker och engagerat skolarbete. Att betygsglappet nu är ungefär lika stort mellan pojkar och flickor oavsett socialklass har väckt frågan om huruvida alla pojkar ställs inför dilemmat att välja mellan skolframgång eller status bland jämnåriga. I bjärt konstrast till samtida genusforskning har detta även öppnat för en ensartad syn på maskulinitet i de utvecklingsarbeten som initierats. Behovet att utöka den inhemska empiriska basen har därmed varit betydelsefullt, inte minst eftersom forskningen i liten grad analyserat hur maskuliniteter konstrueras bland elever från samhällets övre skikt. Syftet med denna text är att problematisera den antagna konflikten mellan den ”riktige killen” och den ”goda eleven” genom att vända blicken mot elitens söner.Det empiriska materialet i detta paper bygger på deltagande observation och intervjuer av unga män och kvinnor i en naturvetenskaplig gymnasieklass, vilka läser första året i en skola med betydande status. Analysen tar utgångspunkt kritisk forskning om män och maskuliniteter. Genom vilka praktiker och diskurser konstrueras dominans, utanförskap och maskulinitetsideal bland elitens söner i skolvardagen? Att ha kul tillsammans under lektionstid, t ex genom att utmana klassrummets ordningsnormer, tycks vara en viktig byggsten i killarnas sociala hierarki och gemenskap. Samtidigt sammanfaller även iscensättande av den ”gode eleven” i hög grad med maskulina praktiker och genererar status i den manliga hierarkin. Här utgör tidigare förvärvat skolkapital emellertid en viktig bricka för att kunna använda sig av skolans ”spelplan”. Således både bekräftas och ifrågasätts antagandet om den negativa relationen mellan maskulinitet/er och skola av empirin. I studien undersöks relationen mellan normer för maskuliniteter och elevskap med en öppenhet för dessa inte bara kan variera mellan elever med olika social bakgrund eller mellan skolor, utan även mellan de olika pedagogiska sammanhang som elever i en och samma skolklass agerar inom. Har exempelvis skolämnenas könskodning betydelse elevernas könsrelationer, och när accentueras respektive utmanas skillnadsskapanden mellan könen?Materialet utgör en av två delar i en pågående sociologisk studie lokaliserad till en mellanstor universitetsstad. I den andra delen studeras en klass som läser fordonsprogrammet i samma kommun.
