Ingår i: The Politics and Ethics of Representation in Qualitative Research : Addressing Moments of Discomfort - Addressing Moments of Discomfort.
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter introduces the volume by presenting the questions of politics and ethics of representation in qualitative research. It also shows how these are approached in the following chapters through analyses of moments of discomfort in our research practice. We situate our work in critical, feminist and engaged scholarship and discuss how creating representation in qualitative research is linked to the issues of accountability and solidarity. The introduction then offers an overview of the chapters, showing how different representational practices, both in the field and in writing, open up for important ethical and political dilemmas.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In qualitative research, the research process is often filled with moments of discomfort. These discomforts can appear at any stage of the research: when choosing thesubject of research, during fieldwork, in the process of analysis and when presenting research findings to different audiences. In this edited volume, we take thesemoments of discomfort seriously and use them as sites of knowledge production forreflecting on the politics and ethics of the qualitative research process. By locatingour experiences in implementing nine different PhD projects carried out in different disciplines and research contexts in social sciences, we argue that these momentsof discomfort help us to gain important insights into the methodological, theoretical, ethical and political issues that are crucial for the fields we engage with. Drawingon feminist and other critical discussions (Mulinari and Sandell 1999, Gunaratnam2003, Back 2007, Gunaratnam and Hamilton 2017), we deal with questions such as:What does it mean to write about the lives of others? What are the ethical modesand conundrums of producing representations? In research projects that are locatedin the tradition of critical or engaged scholarship, how are ethics and politics of representation intertwined, and when are they distinct? How are politics of representation linked to the practice of solidarity in research? What are the im/possibilities ofhope and care in research?

Ingår i: Irreguljär migration i Sverige: rättigheter, vardagserfarenheter, motstånd och statliga kategoriseringar. - : Daidalos. - 9789171734914

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Antalet människor som lever under hot om utvisning har ökat under de senaste decennierna. Samtidigt har det vuxit fram en medvetenhet om att dessa människor är - och kommer att vara - invånare i Sverige. En bred social rörelse med fokus på irreguljära migranters rättigheter har formerats och bidragit till att lagstiftningen på området förändrats. Människor utan uppehållstillstånd har idag rätt till sjukvård "som inte kan anstå" och deras barn har rätt att gå i skolan. Utvecklingen är dock dubbel. Över hela Europa stängs gränserna. Och politiska krav på en närmast total exkludering av irreguljära migranter har vunnit gehör. Det som länge framstod som en utveckling mot ökade rättigheter för dessa människor har visat sig handla om återkommande förhandlingar där utgången är oviss. I denna antologi analyserar 19 svenska forskare hur tillståndet irregularitet skapas, återskapas och upplevs. Irregularitet förstås som präglat av föränderlighet, pluralism och temporalitet, och inte som en fast identitet eller egenskap. De olika texterna uppmärksammar hur detta tillstånd synliggör en rad dramatiska paradoxer, särskilt i den svenska välfärdsstaten. Texterna diskuterar främst det komplicerade förhållandet mellan medborgerliga och mänskliga rättigheter och verklighetsglappet mellan föreställningen om Sverige som "världsbäst" på humanitet, jämställdhet och solidaritet och den våldsamma exkludering som sker i den inkluderande välfärdsstatens geografiska och rättsliga marginaler.

Asylum rally and no border musical : The making of political agency
- 2016
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- By taking departure from the work of the No Border Musical and the Asylum Rally, based in Malmö in the south of Sweden, the purpose of this paper is to explore the notion of political agency. Having in common making visible and questioning migration policies, the Asylum Rally and the musical are constituted of people with and without legal status. The musical was founded in 2011 and has since then worked with writing a manuscript, shaping the ensemble and performing in the cities of Malmö, Stockholm and Norrköping. The Asylum Rally started its work of organizing in the beginning of 2013 and in the following summer the 34 days long march from Malmö to Stockholm was carried out. The aims of both organisations can be understood as making visible the consequences of migration control in contrast to the otherwise dominant discourse of refugees and undocumented persons as apolitical, universal victims in desperate need of help, entirely separated from the political, social and historical context within which they exist. In this paper we ask ourselves what these two organisations can teach us about political agency. The question that has guided this paper is: How can political agency be made possible in a society where citizenship is seen as a prerequisite for political participation? By interviewing and participating, underpinned by an activist oriented method, we conclude that perceptions of who can be a political agent are dynamic and constantly subject to challenges. Our findings show that to perform and be acknowledged as a political agent is not static and fixed but rather a redefinable and transformable process. We are also reminded that even if undocumented persons have constituted themselves as political agents, given the temporality and fluidity of political agency, they are still subject to deportation.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Det är kapitlet handlar om olika former av makt som skapas och reproduceras när vi bedriver samhällsvetenskaplig forskning. Avsikten är att inspirera till hur forskningen kan dekolonisera maktojämlikheter genom kunskapsproduktion. Vem har makten att formulera vad som är kunskap? Och hur kan en göra forskningen mera nära forskningsdeltagarna och samhället? Utgångspunkten för det här kapitlet är att utövandet av forskning alltid är en våldsam praktik. Med inspiration från aktionsforskningen, där deltagarnära forskningsmetoder står i centrum och kunskap görs i en samproduktion, kommer jag i kapitlet att undersöka hur det går att minska på det våldsamma i att forska. Med hjälp av postkolonial, dekolonial och feministisk forskning belyses några exempel från aktivistiskt etnografiskt arbete på hur ojämlika maktpositioner kan bemötas. Frågan om hur en kan bryta med traditionell forskning och ägandet av kunskap diskuteras genom att ta hjälp av en mångfald av berättelser - en epistemologisk pluralitet. Slutligen presenteras några reflektioner över hur det går att minska på maktobalansen mellan forskare och deltagare genom att se på det etiskt politiska forskningsarbetet som en process.

Borders crossing bodies : The stories of eight youth with experience of migrating
- 2018
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In public discourse on migration, people who migrate are often portrayed as deviating from the rest of the population. This is especially true for the group categorised as ‘unaccompanied’ children who are portrayed as homogeneous and not seldom with a common history. Such simplifications create a ‘single story’ that reduces people who migrate and their complex lives to stereotypes. This dissertation derives from a willingness to contest this single story through multiple stories by multiplestorytellers. This is done by seeking tocomprehend what borders do in the lives of eight youth with experience of migrating. The aim is thus to study what borders do and how the participants navigate, experience and challenge those borders at different stages of their lives.This study is based on ethnography among eight youth, who at some point have been categorised as ‘unaccompanied’ children in Sweden and other countries. The fieldwork was carried out during a period between 2013 and 2017 involving interviews and conversations with the participants. Borders are analysed from a multiperspectival standpoint, which means that borders are seen as practices of both material and symbolic divisions performed by different actors constituting control. Borders not only hinder or stop some while granting passage to others; they also construct people differently. Those who are repeatedly crossed by borders eventually become inhabitants of the borderlands. Influenced by feminist and postcolonial scholarship, this study calls for epistemic plurality by acknowledging different sources of knowledge which are placed in dialogue with the stories of the youth. Aspects of their lives before moving from their homes are considered equally important for their experience of borders as their lives in Europe.
