Thinking decolonially towards music’s institution: : A post-conference reflection
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Seismograf. - 2245-4705.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- How do we talk about musical colonisation? How do we talk about this work of talking about it; that is, interrogating what we mean by colonisation and its counter-logic of decolonisation or decoloniality? What can and must we talk about in this particular moment – when talk of decolonisation is at an all-time high, yet without clear consensus and much misuse of the concept? These questions, and the insights that emerged from them, animated the two-day conference Music’s institution and the (de)colonial, and are reflected and summed up in this article. The article ends with a list for "research strategies and practices for music's institution and the (de)colonial: a conference glossary". The list is a first attempt to be explicit about how we deal with the many challenges we face within this field.

Geographies of the book (shop) : Reading women’s geographies in Enlightenment Edinburgh
- 2020

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper examines the place of women’s geographical reading in a centre of Enlightenment: Edinburgh, 1770–1810. It analyses two sets of booksellers’ records to identify key sites – women’s private libraries, Georgian domestic spaces, and women’s schools and boarding houses – in which women engaged with the geographical materials sold in the city’s bookshops: maps, globes, travel accounts, gazetteers, guidebooks, books of roads, geographical dictionaries and grammars. Women used these diverse materials to transform spaces into sites of geographical education and discussion. Crucially, this paper makes the case for understanding these spaces as key sites in Edinburgh’s Enlightenment topography. These were spaces where women oversaw the circulation and appraisal of geographical information: women, in the absence of men, interrogated geographical publications and promoted particular methods of reading and ways of understanding the world. Indeed, this paper goes beyond the familiar argument that women’s reading enabled their participation in the male‐dominated debates of the Scottish Enlightenment. Of course it did this, by ensuring they could invoke geographical examples and comparisons. (Women were, the evidence suggests, comparatively better acquainted than many men were with geography, which was the crucial basis of Enlightenment reasoning.) But their reading represented not a means to an Enlightenment end but an Enlightenment process in itself. In contradistinction to Scottish Enlightenment histories and historiography that have interpreted women’s role relative to men – as constrained from accessing male‐dominated Scottish Enlightenment culture – the analysis here emphasises women’s spaces and the practices of geographical reading that took place within them as key sites and processes of Enlightenment. In so doing, the paper deepens our understanding of Enlightenment and contributes to a feminist historiography of geography.

Hearing histories of Hammer Hill : Pop music as auditory geography
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Emotion, Space and Society. - : Elsevier BV. - 1755-4586. ; 30, s. 34-40
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Focusing on artful, embodied listening as a method of analysing the emotional intensities of place, this article calls for academic geographers to listen to practitioners of nonacademic geography. It explores an ethical and methodological agenda for understanding how pop musicians have heard the world, and for taking them seriously as creative geographers who contribute sophisticated interpretations of and interventions in space. It listens emotionally to Jens Lekman's auditory reminiscences – informed by listening and expressed through song – pertaining to the marginalised and stigmatised Gothenburg suburb of Hammarkullen (or ‘Hammer Hill’). By understanding how Lekman's ideas about his home suburb relate to pop musical history, the article analyses the musician's interpretive geographical methods and the effect sound can have on space. It juxtaposes these methods with recent scholarly research on sonic and listening geographies, and embraces the emotional listening practised by pop music fans to appreciate how scholars can learn from this form of nonacademic geography.

The new geographies of popular music (in a pandemic) : Guilty geographies and compressed intimacies
- 2021
-
Ingår i: POPULÄR – Nordic Journal for Popular Culture Research. ; 2, s. 9-27
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, I analyse developments in the relationship between popular musicians and their audiences that have intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020–21. The first, guilty geographies, concerns musicians and music venues becoming increasingly reliant on charitable audience support, appealing to fans’ ethical consciences through the crowdfunding (or fan-funding) model. The second, compressed intimacies, relates to the conditions of musical production and reception, and the new geographies of musical listening, that emerge from this guilt-based relationship. Focusing on examples from Sweden, I argue that while some artists and venues have engaged creatively with guilty geographies and compressed intimacies, these trends should be resisted.

“The reconstruction of various objects in the home that were destroyed in the attack” : The artistic materials of migrant home-making in Sweden
- 2023
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Making It Home: An Aesthetic Methodological Contribution to the Study of Migrant Home-Making and Politics of Integration (aka MaHoMe) is a NordForsk-funded project involving eight researchers from universities in the UK, Denmark and Sweden. It examines how migrants make and make sense of home amidst the complex and divergent politics of integration in these three so-called “host societies”. My role in the project has included: (1) co-organising and evaluating two “visual ethnography workshops” with migrants in Lund, Sweden, focusing on the objects and images of home, facilitated by the artist Henrik Teleman; (2) participating in and auto-ethnographically reflecting on two “aesthetic workshops” with migrants on Gotland, Sweden, focusing on the food of home, facilitated by the Baltic Art Centre; and (3) analysing how professional artists in Sweden have explored the theme of migrant home-making in Sweden over the last decade. In this presentation, I will briefly discuss all three elements, but I will focus especially on the third. In particular, I will analyse the work of the artists Sirous Namazi (b. 1970, Iran) and Lap-See Lam (b. 1990, Sweden), who have featured in home-themed group exhibitions such as “Unhomed” (Uppsala Konstmuseum, 2020) and “A Home” (Thielska Galleriet, Stockholm, 2022). Both artists have used 3D scanning and printing technology to (imperfectly) recreate the objects of lost homes and their aesthetic explorations of the materiality of home contribute a rich understanding of migrant belonging.

The art of storytelling : against the instrumentalisation of stories as information sources in climate communication
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Library and Information Studies. - 2597-0593. ; 4:1, s. 51-65
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Storytelling is an important tool of public engagement for researchers, not least for climate scholars. However, a problem arises when stories are treated instrumentally as means of delivering specific messages and as information sources. In particular, controlled experiments measuring the impact of stories on readers may misrepresent how stories work in practice. In this article, we shift perspective and re-emphasise the complexity of storytelling by analyzing the role of stories in three “climate fiction” novels: Sands of Sarasvati by Risto Isomäki, Green Earth by Kim Stanley Robinson and Tentacle by Rita Indiana. We highlight four underrepresented perspectives on storytelling: (1) stories may be used as time-resistant sources of scientific evidence; (2) stories may provide moral guidance; (3) stories have the ability to make connections, organizing events and agencies; and (4) stories afford storytellers agency to act on climate change. We thus conclude that efforts to evaluate the impact of stories require an understanding of how stories function in specific works of art.
