Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation examines possibilities and challenges faced by international interveners in a post-socialist and violently divided area. The study object is the Swedish foundation Kvinna till Kvinna, formed in 1993 during the Bosnian war, originating from the peace movement and supported by the Swedish government aid agency Sida. The aim is to contextualize and analyze Kvinna till Kvinna’s two decades of engagement in peacebuilding in Bosnia. The encounter with domestic women’s NGOs is of particular interest. By focusing on rhetoric, practice and silences, the ambition has been to understand the international/local relationship from the perspective of both actors. In terms of methodology, this study combines a hermeneutic approach with that of oral history. The empirical material utilized consists of both written and oral sources, the majority of which appear in research for the first time. To capture the complexity of the peacebuilding endeavor, critically scrutinize it and discern its benevolence, this research draws inspiration from postcolonial and semiperipherality theories, as well as influential theorizing on peacebuilding, sisterhood and solidarity. This study shows that even well-intentioned, locally-focused external efforts, constrained by donor agendas and circumstances on the ground, contain problematic characteristics common in the era of liberal peace. While subscribing to the idea of transnational sisterhood, Kvinna till Kvinna also presented a belief in Swedish supremacy and demonstrated a lack of interest in local knowledge. It sought to educate and change its Bosnian counterparts by using soft methods. Further, the findings challenge idealized images of the ‘local’ as a peace-loving force for change and a powerless victim of Western domination. The hierarchical sisterhood that over time evolved between the two actors, founded on basic shared values related to women’s situation, was driven by mutual benefit. Acknowledging advantages of this type of transnational encounters in peacebuilding contexts, the study raises questions about dilemmas in them and underlines the importance of rhetorical listening.

"Bara ett öfverskott af lif" : en biografi om Frida Stéenhoff

Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- “Merely a surplus of life” A biography on Frida Stéenhoff (1865–1945)Frida Stéenhoff was a playwriter and an intellectual that had a great deal of attention paid to her in the early 20th century Sweden. She was a controversial person that took up issues that were taboo within the women’s movement as well as in public life as a whole. In 1903 she introduced the concept of feminism in the Swedish debate. By focusing on love and sexuality she challenged the intellectuals of that period in questions concerning human thought and ethics, on stage and in public debate. As with many writers, not least women, she was gradually forgotten. In recent years though her ideas as well as her plays have received renewed interest. The ambition of the book is to understand her as a person, her choices in life, her literary work and public activities, but also to put her in a literary and political context. Why did this daughter of a priest, grown up in a strict religious environment, choose this controversial path and how come she stood by her ideas despite a lot of resistance and personal inconvenience? These are some of the important questions posed. By using Frida Stéenhoff as a prism interesting perspectives also opens up on the relationship between art and politics and between men and women in the transformative time of the early 20th century. A dialogue becomes visible that was a part of but also challenged the story of modernity that was being developed at the time. The book has a narrative form and is directed by an aim to let Frida Stéenhoff speak for her self.
