Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores the meaning of “resistance” and suggests a new path for “resistance studies,” which is an emerging and interdisciplinary field of the social sciences that is still relatively fragmented and heterogeneous. Resistance has often been connected with antisocial attitudes, destructiveness, reactionary or revolutionary ideologies, unusual and sudden explosions of violence, and emotional outbursts. However, we wish to add to this conceptualization by arguing that resistance also has the potential to be productive, plural and fluid, and integrated into everyday social life. The first major part of the article is devoted to discuss existing understandings of resistance with the aim of seeking to capture distinctive features and boundaries of this social phenomenon. Among other things, we will explore resistance in relation to other key concepts and related research fields. We then, in the article’s second major part, propose a number of analytical categories and possible entrances aiming at inspire more in-depth studies of resistance.

Researching Resistance and Social Change: A Critical Approach to Theory and Practice
- 2017
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Resistance has often been connected with anti-social attitudes, destructiveness, reactionary or revolutionary ideologies, unusual and sudden explosions of violence and emotional outbursts. This book goes beyond these conventions. Exploring various key questions, ranging from concept definitions of affect and temporality, to complex entanglements of various social dimensions and ethical questions, this accessible guide provides a robust theoretical and methodological framework for researching of resistance and social change. By drawing connections between resistance and politics, between performance and everyday strategies, and between the juridical and its counter-strategies, this book provides students with a transdisciplinary understanding of contemporary debates in this emerging field.

(Re)thinking the Precarity of Swedish Migrants: Governing through Decelerations and Timescapes
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Journal of Refugee Studies. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 0951-6328 .- 1471-6925. ; 32:1, s. 144-161
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article uses the concept of ‘time’ in order to better understand the situation of precarious migrants in Sweden. Through analysing a number of reports and interviews undertaken with newly arrived migrants in Sweden, it displays how different temporal understandings of the migrants are linked to and managed by governing bodies, laws and regulations. The article centres around two related research questions: (i) What constructions of time are used in the governing of precarious migrants? and (ii) How do these migrants understand their own and society’s time?

Legal Pluralism, Gendered Discourses and Hybridity in Land-Titling Practices in Cambodia
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Journal of law and society (Print). - : Wiley-Blackwell. - 0263-323X .- 1467-6478. ; 44:2, s. 220-227
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article describes and analyses the tensions, ambivalence, and hybridity that prevail in the nexus between discourses of gender and the legal pluralism of the new, formalized, and customary ways of handling land titles. Based on empirical research in Cambodia, it reveals a number of mechanisms, challenges, and inconsistencies in the practice of land-titling. Foremost, the practice of titling seems to be highly informed by local discourses of marriage, family, gender, and age, which all affect to whom land is assigned; this leaves a hybrid construction in the nexus between statutory law and customary practices. The article departs from this observation and adds three contributions on a theoretical level to existing research: by incorporating the dimensions of discourse analysis and legal hybridity, by linking the concept of legal pluralism to the process of hybridization, and by introducing the notion of hybridity of implementation as a supplement to hybridity of law.

(Re)categorisation as resistance : Civil society mobilisations around the Preah Vihear Temple
- 2017
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Politics, Culture, and Society. - New York, NY, USA : Springer-Verlag New York. - 0891-4486 .- 1573-3416. ; 30:3, s. 295-310
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper deals with civil society mobilizations and resistance in relation to a world heritage site—the ninth-century Khmer temple Preah Vihear, which is located in the northern province of Cambodia and borders eastern Thailand. In particular, the paper explores resistance in terms of (re)categorizations from a historical and discursive–materialistic perspective. The field of resistance studies has mainly been preoccupied with entities such as texts, signs, symbols, identity, and language. In this article, however, we bring in physical and material entities in order to display the ways in which matter is of importance in the (re)construction of discourses and thereby for resistance.

Theorising "Peace-Building” Resistance : Constructions of Time and Different Temporalities at Play in the Preah Vihear Temple-Conflict
- 2016
-
Ingår i: European Journal of Cultural and Political Sociology. - London : Taylor & Francis Group. - 2325-4823 .- 2325-4815. ; 3:4, s. 426-446
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper explores civil-society mobilisations around the Preah Vihear Temple, today a world heritage site located in Cambodia, on the border with Thailand. More specifically, the paper seeks to increase our understanding of the 'peace-building' resistance that is played out by different civil-society actors with regard to the Temple. This case displays how both the governments and civil societies in each of the two countries bend relationships between the 'past', the 'present', and the 'future' in general, and in relation to 'identity' in particular, in order to construct narratives of nation-building. The Temple has been used in discursive constructions of national collective identity in Cambodia and Thailand, respectively; constructions that, among other things, embrace shifting notions of time and temporality. Whereas much analysis of peace-building resistance concentrates on larger-scale actions, this paper adds to previous research by giving priority to more subtle forms of resistance and describing how civil-society actors resist by 'bending' prevailing conceptions of time and temporality.
