Articulating Alienation : The History and Experience of Subsumption in Rural Kigoma, Tanzania
- 2023
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis examines the extension of capitalism in a village in Kigoma Region, Northwest Tanzania, from the point of view of how people experience it. Relying on ten months of field work, interviews, and archival material from the British colonial period, it shows how local conditions of production, and the experiences thereof, are influenced by wider processes of change on a regional, national, and global level. This change is currently characterised by the intertwined processes of land privatisation, large-scale investments in land, increased commodification of small-scale farming and intensifying cash-crop production, altering patterns of exchange, and extensive nature conservation, all of which have consequences for the people living in the area. These changes have their roots in pre-colonial and colonial history, culminating in a present characterised by repeated loss of land and resources, and peoples’ loss of the ability to keep on being farmers. Taking its point of departure in peoples’ narratives about their lives and debates on the Agrarian Question in our present historical conjecture of global capitalism, the thesis suggests that one way to better understand and explain what capitalist extension means in this context is to focus on the subsumption not just of farmers’ labour, as classical political economy does, but also on the subsumption of their practice and on their experience of this. Relying on Marx’s theory of alienation, paying attention to the implications for people and their social relations of production of living in a capitalist society, the argument the thesis makes is that the current articulation of subsumption in rural Tanzania is equally severe as that imagined by Marx under conditions of mature capitalism. This articulation finds its ultimate expression in the increased estrangement between people that the spread of capitalist relations of production entails. This offers new perspectives on the degree, extent, and severity of capitalist development, and connected forms of exploitation.

Food Across Borders
- 2017
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The act of eating defines and redefines borders. What constitutes “American” in our cuisine has always depended on a liberal crossing of borders, from “the line in the sand” that separates Mexico and the United States, to the grassland boundary with Canada, to the imagined divide in our collective minds between “our” food and “their” food. Immigrant workers have introduced new cuisines and ways of cooking that force the nation to question the boundaries between “us” and “them.” The stories told in Food Across Borders highlight the contiguity between the intimate decisions we make as individuals concerning what we eat and the social and geopolitical processes we enact to secure nourishment, territory, and belonging.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Engaging with scholarship on hegemony, park history, and in particular with Sevilla-Buitrago’s analysis of Central Park as a pedagogical space, this article traces the establishment of two parks in the Swedish textile industry centre of Norrköping. These parks, bearing very similar names – Folkparken and Folkets Park – were established just six years apart. But though both parks linked “park” and “people” (Folk), their intended political effects were radically different. The 1895 Folkparken was an elite attempt to create a de-politicised landscape park, while the 1901 Folkets Park was instead the labour movement’s attempt to create their own space. Exploring this latter park enables telling a story of park production beyond elite dominance. Like dozens of similar labour-controlled parks across Sweden, the People’s Park allowed Norrköping’s labour movement to shape their landscape long before the Social Democrats made any significant inroads into parliamentary politics. Combining a platform for socialistic agitation, with a theatre and space for recreation, this park quickly became central to Norrköping’s working class. Thereby, it could both enable social-democratic presence at an everyday level, and function as an important resource during periods of intense class-struggle.

The Tight Dialectic : The Anthropocene and the Production of Nature

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this essay we examine the case of Kivalina, Alaska, twice threatened with destruction, in order to understand the importance of the specifically geological concept of the Anthropocene. We argue that the Anthropocene is best understood as part of what Neil Smith called a “tight dialectic” between the history of geography (the production of environmental knowledge) and historical geography (the production of nature and space) as this dialectic is played out within capitalist modes of production. We focus on the relationship between contemporary geo‐engineering and both intentional and unintentional geographical engineering, to make the basic argument that humans have no choice but to produce nature—to engineer environments. The only question is howwe shall do so.

- Occupy Wall Street did not come from nowhere. It was part of a long history of riot, revolt, uprising, and sometimes even revolution that has shaped New York City. From the earliest European colonization to the present, New Yorkers have been revolting. Hard hitting, revealing, and insightful, Revolting New York tells the story of New York’s evolution through revolution, a story of near-continuous popular (and sometimes not-so-popular) uprising.Richly illustrated with more than ninety historical and contemporary images, historical maps, and maps drawn especially for the book, Revolting New Yorkprovides the first comprehensive account of the historical geography of revolt in New York, from the earliest uprisings of the Munsee against the Dutch occupation of Manhattan in the seventeenth century to the Black Lives Matter movement and the unrest of the Trump era. Through this rich narrative, editors Neil Smith and Don Mitchell reveal a continuous, if varied and punctuated, history of rebellion in New York that is as vital as the more standard histories of formal politics, planning, economic growth, and restructuring that largely define our consciousness of New York’s story.
