- Are feminist coalitions magical enough to survive and endure while questioning and shaking the colonial/racist foundations of Swedish academic knowledge production and the overall Swedish society? Can feminist bridging and collective writing remain a magical process even when grappling with difficult experiences and memories of othering and racialisation? This is a creatively and collectively written article on feminist coalition building, and its importance in thinking, articulating and deconstructing race, racialization and racist structures. More than two years ago, seven interdisciplinary gender studies scholars of mixed ethnic and racial origins, came together to explore our differently situated experiences of disidentifying with Swedish academia and society in a collective we call Loving Coalitions. Against the background of Swedish exceptionalism, historical amnesia of Sweden’s colonial past and present, and the deafening silence on Swedish whiteness and racism, we are sharing our poems, letters, texts and testimonies of racist interactions in Swedish academia and society. While doing so, we discuss how moving away from conventional ways of doing research and experimenting with creative methodological alternatives, such as automatic writing, epistolary formats, poems, fiction, collective memory-work, allow us to acknowledge and embrace our different life backgrounds and academic trajectories as a mode of knowledge production. We hope and believe that our experiences, refl ections and ways to resist racism and Othering in Sweden and Swedish academia through alternative coalition building, based on mutual care and love, can be relevant in a Danish context as well.

“A Rape of the Earth” : Sámi Feminists against Mines
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Meridians. - : Duke University Press. - 1536-6936 .- 1547-8424. ; 23:1, s. 133-155

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article is a Sámi feminist analysis of large-scale resource extraction in Sábme, the transnational Sámi territory spanning northern Fenno-Scandinavia and the Murmansk peninsula. Specifically, it centers on the mining of Indigenous land within the borders of the Swedish nation-state to explore the knowledge evolving from Sámi feminists engaged in the anti-mining struggle. Here, I argue that Indigenous epistemes—that is, the foregrounding of relationality and interdependency between land, humans, nonhuman beings, and the natural environment—are foundational to the research participants’ struggles against mining in Sábme. From within a Sámi knowledge system, mining entails fracturing the relational web of connection. Consequently, mining represents a multigenerational threat against the survival of Sámi body lands and lifeworlds.

Att skriva från gränslandet : dekoloniala berättelser från Sábme
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Kulturella perspektiv - Svensk etnologisk tidskrift. - 1102-7908. ; 30:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article centres upon embodied and localised stories in Sábme. It suggests that such narratives may express diversity, difference, and complexity. As such, they may contribute to inclusive decolonial processes and knowledge production. Drawing upon Indigenous worldviews and ways of knowing, the article explores the author’s Sámi and Tornedalian family histories within a settler-colonial structure and assimilatory policies towards minorities. Specifically, the context is the interrelated mining towns of Gällivare and Malmberget. Analytical themes are loss, silences, and dispossession but also decolonial resistance and (re)imagination.
