Coloniality and Decolonisation in the Nordic region
- 2023
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This book advances critical discussions about what coloniality, decoloniality and decolonization mean and imply in the Nordic region. It brings together analysis of complex realities from the perspectives of the Nordic peoples, a region that are often overlooked in current research, and explores the processes of decolonization that are taking place in this region. The book offers a variety of perspectives that engage with issues such as Islamic feminism and the progressive left; racialization and agency among Muslim youths; indigenizing distance language education for Sami; extractivism and resistance among the Sami; the Nordic international development endeavour through education; Swedish TV-reporting on Venezuela; creolizing subjectivities across Roma and non-Roma worlds and hierarchies; and the whitewashing and sanitization of decoloniality in the Nordic region. As such, this book extends much of the productive dialogue that has recently occurred internationally in decolonial thinking but also in the areas of critical race theory, whiteness studies, and postcolonial studies to concrete and critical problems in the Nordic region. This should make the book of considerable interest to scholars of history of ideas, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, international development studies, legal sociology and (intercultural) philosophy with an interest in coloniality and decolonial social change.

“Just Google Translate It!” ICT Use of Migrant IT professionals for Mitigating Workplace Integration Challenges
- 2022
-
In: AMCIS (Americas Conference on Information Systems), Minneapolis, MI, August 10-14.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- IT professionals represent a growing group of highly educated migrants in different countries, yet research on their workplace integration is scarce. Applying a combined theoretical framework of Hofstede's culture dimensions and functional theory of language approach, this paper addresses the research need in investigating how migrant IT professionals to Sweden integrate into the workplace and the role of ICTs in mitigating integration challenges. Fifteen (15) interviews with IT professionals from India and Pakistan were analyzed using Thematic Content Analysis. Results uncover migrants experiencing language barriers and cultural differences, which impede developing relationships with colleagues and career opportunities. Our findings indicate that although ICTs, primarily machine translation applications, are indispensable for supporting communication between migrants and locals, collegial support is still essential for managing intercultural interactions, contributing to migrants’ feelings of connectedness at work and a sense of belonging. Workplace inclusion and suggestions for practitioners are discussed.

Retirement Return Migration from Sweden
- 2006
-
In: International migration (Geneva. Print). - Oxford : Blackwell Publishing. - 0020-7985 .- 1468-2435. ; 44:2, s. 153-180
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study deals with return migration among immigrants in Sweden who are between 51 and 80 years old. An important question regards the impact of retirement on return migration. Some circumstances connected to the withdrawal from the labour market suggest an increased propensity to return, such as the transition from a wage income to a pension, which weakens the link between place of residence and income. In addition, patterns of return migration at the end of working life may indicate whether or not temporary migration is a planned strategy. It is found that when reaching the age of 65, the legal retirement age in Sweden, the probability of return migration increases, in particular for men. The effect of retirement is immediate; the probability of return migration declines again beyond the age of 65, indicating a conscious plan to return to the home country when the labour market career is over. Furthermore, immigrants who receive early retirement compensation have a considerably higher probability of return migration compared to those who are not retired. These clear “retirement effects” show that return migration can be an important ingredient in the welfare optimization strategies of migrants. When it comes to income selectivity, the analysis shows that there is a positive selection, something that is expected when migrants are target savers with a temporary migration strategy.

Nation i ombildning : essäer om 2000-talets Sverige
- 2018. - 1
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Sverige har länge betraktats som en demokratisk förebild och ett öppet och solidariskt välfärdssamhälle. Under 2000-talet har social ojämlikhet och boendesegregering ökat, åtföljd av rasism och en allt mer restriktiv flyktingpolitik. Sverige är en nation i ombildning. Åtstramningspolitik och högerpopulism har fått bred förankring i partipolitiken. Samtidigt uppstår motrörelser, där civilsamhälleliga aktörer kräver en fördjupad demokrati och social rättvisa. Vi står inför ett skifte. Kommer en nyliberal ekonomisk politik att smälta samman med en auktoritär, rasistisk populism? Eller är de nya rörelserna en öppning mot ett mer inkluderande, jämlikt och rättvist samhälle, där visionen för framtiden byggs på hopp och optimism — inte rädsla och hot?

Labour rights as human rights? : trajectories in the global governance of migration
- 2015. - 1
-
In: Migration, precarity, and global governance. - Oxford : Oxford University Press. - 9780198728863 ; , s. 223-244
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this chapter Branka Likić-Brborić addresses the emerging global governance of migration. She scrutinizes the structuring of human and labour rights discourses and contingencies for their institutionalisation and implementation by discussing their prospects for the promotion of global social justice. Issues of accountability and contingencies for the implementation of labour and human rights as migrants’ rights are discussed in the wider context of the existing global governance architecture. The chapter questions assumptions that setting up a workable model for codification and institutionalisation of labour standards, human rights and migrants’ rights could be left to a currently asymmetric global governance regime or to a variety of codes of corporate social responsibility. Global and regional trade union confederations and other civil society organizations have an essential role in repositioning a rights-based approach to migration, labour standards and development onto the terrain of a just globalisation.

Där historien tar slut : makt, monster och motstånd i en delad värld
- 2020. - 1
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Historiens slut, kallade den amerikanske författaren Francis Fukuyama tillståndet i världen efter kommunismens fall i slutet av 1980-talet: det behövdes inte längre några revolutioner, det skulle räcka med att sprida västvärldens liberala värden och marknadsekonomi, så skulle alla få plats i samma globala rum. Men kolonialismens attityder och mekanismer lever kvar och globaliseringen har knappast inneburit något entydigt segertåg för frihet, jämlikhet och rättvisa. Världen av idag ser väldigt annorlunda ut beroende på om man är rik eller fattig, om man bor i nord eller syd, om man är vit eller svart, man eller kvinna. I sin nya bok går Stefan Jonsson djupare än tidigare i diagnosen av den globala maktordningen. Hans tätt sammanvävda essäer handlar om konst, film och litteratur som lyckas skildra samma händelseförlopp från motsatta perspektiv, samtidigt som de visar sambanden mellan världens framsida och baksida.

Migration, Civil Society and Global Governance
- 2019. - 1
-
Editorial collection (peer-reviewed)abstract
- How do the United Nations, international organizations, governments, corporate actors and a wide variety of civil society organizations and regional and global trade unions perceive the root causes of migration, global inequality and options for sustainable development? This is one of the most pertinent political questions of the 21st century.This comprehensive collection examines the development of an emerging global governance on migration with the focus on spaces, roles, strategies and alliance-making of a composite transnational civil society engaged in issues of rights and the protection of migrants and their families. It reveals the need to strengthen networking and convergence among movements that adopt different entry points to the same struggle, from fighting ‘managed’ migration to contesting corporate control of food and land. The authors examine the opportunities and challenges faced by civil society in its endeavour to promote a rights-based approach within international and intergovernmental fora engaged in setting up a global compact for the management of migration, such as the Global Forum for Migration and Development, and in other global policy spaces.This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Globalizations.

Undoing Colonial Temporalities - Presentism and the Future of the Post/Past
- 2019
-
In: Anglistica AION - An Interdisciplinary Journal. - 2035-8504. ; 23:2, s. 83-96
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper aims to explore the notion of presentism as a way of looking at the fraught temporalities of the post-/de- ‘pre-fixing frontier’ in colonialism studies. Drawing on various interpretations of the concept, presentism can be said to manifest when societies become unable to imagine a future or a past, because of structured powers keen on preserving the status quo. Using a combination of data from media ethnography and literary criticism, we intend to assess the productivity of an updated notion of presentism for the ongoing debates on the coloniality of power. Instances of arrested and recursive temporalities exemplified in recent Anglophone African novels as well as in Swedish media discourses on migration will serve as case studies. Issues of memory and denial, as well as the ideological claim that enduring phenomena such as immigration should be considered symptoms of a contemporary migratory crisis, will be at the centre of our investigation.

Contending Global Apartheid : Transversal Solidarities and Politics of Possibility
- 2023
-
Editorial collection (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Contending Global Apartheid: Transversal Solidarities and Politics of Possibility spells out a plea for utopia in a crisis-ridden 21st century of unequal development, exclusionary citizenship, and forced migrations. The volume offers a collection of critical essays on human rights movements, sanctuary spaces, and the emplacement of antiracist conviviality in cities across North and South America, Europe, and Africa. Each intervention proceeds from the idea that cities may accommodate both a humanistic sensibility and a radical potential for social transformation. The figure of the 'migrant' is pivotal. It expounds the prospect of transversal solidarity to capture a plurality of commonalities and to abjure dichotomies between in-group and out-group, the national and the international, or society and institutions.

The Basic Elements of a Systematic Theory of Ethnic Relations
- 2003
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Offering a conceptual analysis, the paper demonstrates theoretical connections between the notions of primordiality and small-scale community; ethnies and ethnic nationalism; modern nation state and related forms of nationalism; the analysis of the structure of empires and colonial societies, and of the reconstitution of post-imperial societies; the concepts of economic and political migration and migrant ethnic mobilisation; the implications of national policy responses to migration; and, finally, the notion of multicultural societies. An overall general theory of nationalism and ethnicity, transcending the more specific theories which have been used in understanding small-scale communities, nations and transnational communities, is envisaged.

Populism Without Borders : FIGURATIVE PUBLICS: CROWDS, PROTEST, AND DEMOCRATIC ANXIETIES
- 2020
-
In: The Immanent Frame: Secularism, Religion, and the Public Sphere. - Brooklyn, New York : Social Science Research Council.
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Unlike most other political notions, like democracy or authoritarianism, for example, there seems to exist no “ideal type” of populism, which also explains why the brand is almost as frequent on the left as on the right. This is also why the term invites ideological confusion. As established politicians and commentators grope for words in order to confront the unpleasant face of today’s political life, populism often comes in handy as their cri de guerre, naming an enemy against which we must mobilize democratic institutions, liberal values, and civic virtues. To be sure, such reactions are welcome and needed as a defense against the world’s Bolsonaros, Erdogans, Trumps, Modis, Salvinis, and Orbans. But are they sufficient? The rhetoric elicited by these authoritarian tendencies shows that populism is a label emerging from the embattled center of politics, and it usually warns against invasion by political outsiders. This is also to say that populism is a normative political concept, not a sociological or historical one. In order to grasp the antagonisms covered up by the discourse on populism we should, I suggest, relate it to two other categories that tend to crop up as the two opposite poles of this discourse: the fascist and the migrant. Both are, strangely, designations of “the popular,” but with contrasting relationships to political power. In what follows, I first trace these categories in contemporary political discourse and I then describe how they shape aesthetic imaginaries of “the people.”

Stöd till ensamkommande barn och unga – effekter, erfarenheter och upplevelser
- 2018
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Begreppet ensamkommande barn innefattar enligt svensk lag asylsökande barn under 18 år som vid ankomsten till mottagarlandet är skilda från såväl föräldrar som annan vuxen person som kan anses ha trätt in i föräldrarnas ställe, eller barn som efter ankomsten står utan sådan ställföreträdare. Vår systematiska genomgång av den vetenskapliga litteraturen har inte funnit några kontrollerade studier som har undersökt eller jämfört effekter av olika stödjande insatser för ensamkommande barn och unga. Vår systematiska genomgång av forskning som på olika sätt belyser ensamkommande barns och ungas erfarenheter och upplevelser av vad som främjar och hämmar deras sociala integrering, psykiska och fysiska hälsa och funktionsförmåga, har resulterat i sju övergripande teman (teman på nivå tre*): – Säkerhet och kontroll: En grundläggande förutsättning. Ensamkommande barns och ungas erfarenheter av trauma och förlust, i kombination med osäkerhet om framtiden, innebär en brist på grundläggande trygghet, kontroll och säkerhet. Det präglar starkt tillvaron och påverkar välbefinnandet och förmågan att hantera sin vardag och sina svårigheter samt att kunna se en framtid. – Det nya landet: Både möjligheter och svårigheter. Ensamkommande barn och unga uttrycker en stark motivation att utbilda sig, att anpassa sig till det nya landet och att ta vara på de möjligheter som finns. Samtidigt beskrivs strukturella och sociala hinder samt svårigheter kopplade till att befinna sig i en ny kulturell och samhällelig kontext. Allt detta kan hämma en positiv utveckling av hälsa, integration och funktionsförmåga. – Att hantera svårigheter: En balans mellan olika strategier. Copingstrategier (strategier för att med tankar och beteenden hantera svårigheter) såsom undvikande, flykt och positivt tänkande, kan fungera främjande men ibland också hindrande för hälsa, integration och funktionsförmåga. Religion kan upplevas som betydelsefull för välmående och förmåga att hantera svårigheter. – Vardagsmiljöer: Stödjande relationer, inflytande i boende och tillgång till skola och aktiviteter är viktigt. Ensamkommande barn och unga framhåller stöd, goda relationer och eget inflytande i boendet samt måltider i boendet som viktiga, oberoende av boendeform. Skolan upplevs som viktig för inlärning, välmående och relationer. Betydelsen av stöd och råd från vuxna i skola och i förhållande till skola och utbildning understryks. När det gäller skolan som plats för att utveckla relationer med jämnåriga beskrivs både positiva och negativa erfarenheter. Fritidsaktiviteter beskrivs som viktiga för att må bra, för att bygga sociala relationer och återskapa mening i tillvaron. – Relationer: Stöd och vägledning från vuxna är betydelsefullt, kontakt med jämnåriga viktigt men också svårt. Ensamkommande barn och unga lyfter betydelsen av vägledning, stöd, kontinuitet men också möjligheter till inflytande och självständighet i relation till vuxna. Relationer till jämnåriga upplevs som viktigt men också svårt. Relationer till biologisk familj innebär både saknad och stöd. Beroende på kvaliteten i de olika relationerna kan de fungera hämmande eller främjande för välbefinnande och utveckling. – Socialtjänst och hälso- och sjukvård: Varierande uppfattningar om och erfarenheter av stöd och behov. Ensamkommande barn och unga upplever socialtjänsten som viktig för grundläggande stöd, men också att stödet inte är tillräckligt. De uttrycker varierande uppfattningar om och erfarenheter av psykologiskt stöd från hälso- och sjukvården. – Identitet och tillhörighet: Att få ihop det förflutna, nuet och framtiden. Ensamkommande barn och unga strävar efter att både bevara modersmål och kultur och att anpassa sig till det nya landet samt att bevara relationer till personer i ursprungslandet och att stödja dem. De kan kämpa med att få ihop sin tillhörighet. Religion kan vara ett sätt att skapa en kontinuitet i tillvaron. * Teman på nivå tre är formulerade så att de centrala budskapen ska framgå. De har använts för att ordna och presentera resultatet på ett enkelt och läsvänligt sätt. Temana har kondenserats utifrån samtliga andra nivåns teman, oavsett evidensstyrka.

Reimagineering the Common in Precarious Times
- 2018
-
In: Journal of Intercultural Studies. - : Routledge. - 0725-6868 .- 1469-9540. ; 39:2, s. 207-223
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The paper explores movements for social transformation in precarious times of austerity, dispossessed commons and narrow nationalism; movements counterpoised to an exhausted neoliberalism on the one hand, and a neoconservative xenophobic populism on the other. Applying ‘rainbow coalition’ as generic concept it points at contours of a globally extended countermovement for social transformation, traversing ‘race’, class and gender, driven by reimaginings of the commons and indicating how they could be repossessed and democratically ruled; that is ‘reimagineered’). A multisited enquiry explores how actors express their claims as activist citizens under varying conditions and constellations, and if/how discourses and practices from different locations and at different scales inform each other. It interrogates whether there may be an actual equivalence of outlook, objective and strategy of ostensibly homologous contending movements which develop under varying local, national and regional circumstances in contemporary communities riveted by schisms of class, ‘race’/ethnicity and gender, occupied by the ‘migration’ issue and challenged by popular demands for social sustainability. The paper contributes to social theory by linking questions posed by critics of ‘post-politics’ concerning contingences of pluralist democracy and revitalised politics of civil society, to precarity studies focused on globalisation and the changing conditions of citizenship, labour and livelihoods.

Skandinavien als Zuflucht für jüdische Intellektuelle 1933–1945
- 2014
-
Editorial collection (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Nach der Machtübernahme der Nationalsozialisten brach im Deutschen Reich Terror gegen Juden und Andersdenkende los. Die sich schrittweise, aber rasant verschlechternden Lebensverhältnisse und die zunehmende Verfolgung zwangen Tausende Menschen zur Flucht. Außerhalb von Hitlers Macht- und Einflussbereich mussten sie den Versuch wagen, sich eine neue Existenz aufzubauen. Verglichen mit ihren europäischen Nachbarländern nahmen die skandinavischen Länder nur wenige Flüchtlinge auf. Dennoch wurden sie, insbesondere das neutrale Schweden, aufgrund der politischen Entwicklung in Europa zu wichtigen Zentren des Exils. In der Folge leisteten die Emigranten bedeutende Beiträge zu Kunst, Kultur, Wissenschaft und Politik der Aufnahmeländer. Der vorliegende Band widmet sich einem bislang nur wenig erforschten Kapitel der Geschichtsschreibung: dem jüdischen intellektuellen Exil in Skandinavien.

Orientations of Europe : Boats, the Mediterranean Sea and the Materialities of Contemporary Mobility Regimes
- 2018
-
In: Borderlands e-journal. - Sydney, NSW, Australia : Borderlands. - 1447-0810. ; 17:2, s. 1-27
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper is an investigation of how the specific design and materiality of the artefact of the boat, as well as the various material, visual, technical and geographical practices at work in the space of Mediterranean Sea, orientate a specific space and produce a selective politics of seeing, saving and framing of bodies on the move. It highlights how the very presence and movement of ‘unseaworthy boats’ in this actively orientated space of the sea brings to the fore the many strategies and techniques that have been employed to make it a space of European control. We argue that this is an active and deadly orientation carried out in an often dispersed number of practices and interventions within a seemingly flat space of water. The paper concludes that border transgressors’ act of moving by boat, with all of the losses involved, both challenge and potentially reorientate European mobility regimes.

- The police turn to social media to disseminate information, enforce laws, or involve people in crime investigation. This paper’s goal is to explore the police’s use of Instagram based on a comparative study of Instagram accounts of official police in selected socially deprived and non-deprived neighborhoods from a social justice perspective. Using digital trace data and interpretive findings, we seek to develop new insights and theories in the light of social justice. Our work aims to contribute to literature on digital technologies and social justice and thus to building a more inclusive, sustainable society.

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- South African apartheid stands out in the academic literature as a generic case of the discriminatory political economy of migration in modern capitalism. In this chapter Carl-Ulrik Schierup brings into focus recent developments in post-apartheid South Africa, which is fractured by outbreaks of xenophobia and upset by police violence against striking workers. It is a historical moment presenting labour unions and other movements of civil society with imminent challenges. It signifies a current crisis of South Africa’s celebrated ‘community’ or ‘social movement’ unionism in the context of globalisation, corporate restructuring, a vast and exacerbated social inequality, the informalisation of labour, and a re-racialising regional migration system. It posits that a third way back to the future for trade unions, between politics of irregular migration and a new ‘global apartheid’ of ‘managed migration’, may be through retrieving their own past rootedness in workplaces and local communities, and in organising internal and cross border migrants.

Refugee Return Migration : Return Migration from Sweden to Chile, Iran and Poland 1973-1996
- 2007

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this paper, return migration from Sweden to three sources of refugee immigration is analysed, with a focus on the effect of political change in 1990. Chilean immigrants reacted more strongly to political liberalization in the home country than Polish immigrants did, primarily due to more favourable economic circumstances in Chile compared to Poland in the 1990s. In fact, the increase in Polish return migration propensity after 1990 is not statistically different from the Iranian increase, in spite of the absence of political liberalization in Iran. There are significant cohort differences within the Chilean group, indicating an element of economically motivated migration within the last waves of Chilean refugee immigration in the late 1980s. Hence, successful implementation of schemes of voluntary return migration for refugees will not only be dependent on an improved political situation in the source country, but will also be highly dependent on economic circumstances.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The aim of this chapter is to challenge an axiomatic assumption made in current public debates, namely that the sustainability of the welfare state in an age of globalization requires the imposition of limits on immigration. With a particular focus on Sweden and recent changes of Swedish welfare policy, the chapter shows how the current crisis of the Swedish welfare model has in fact haunted this model for decades. The argument presented is that the socially-integrative capacities of the Swedish model had been compromised well before the start of the post-2015 refugee crisis in Europe. The argument made is that it was not the scale of immigration that made the Swedish welfare state unsustainable. Rather, it is the austerity-driven retrenchment of the Swedish welfare state that, in the past quarter of a century, has steadily undermined the capacity of the welfare model to offer emancipatory and non-discriminatory pathways of incorporation to immigrants. With the neoliberal reforms implemented since the early 1990s, the current reality in Sweden is that of deepening, and increasingly ethnically tinged, class divisions and long-term social exclusion of sizeable population groups from substantial citizenship rights.

Motsträviga synsätt. Om rörliga bilder som bjuder motstånd
- 2010
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Vad har Ingmar Bergman, Roy Andersson, Nelly Kaplan, Michael Haneke och Todd Haynes gemensamt med filmer som Ronja Rövardotter, Romance, Amélie från Montmartre, Män som hatar kvinnor och tv-serier som South Park och House? I Motsträviga synsätt skriver 16 forskare och skribenter om olika sorters motstånd i film och tv-serier. Här analyseras samhällskritiska filmskapare, men även motspänstiga rollfigurer och åskådares motreaktioner. Författarna diskuterar hur humor, kroppar och sex kan användas som motvapen. I antologin ges nya perspektiv på folkhemmets upplösning, ungas medieumgänge och film från Asien och Afrika. Här behandlas fenomen som postkolonialism och postpornografi vid sidan av självetnografi och intermedialitet, filmisk endoskopi och medial genomlysning. Dessa texter utmanar vårt filmiska vaneseende med en blandning av kritisk klarsyn och lekfull humor, på samma sätt som filmmediet har använts för att göra motstånd mot överheten. Antologin är en vänbok till Olle Sjögren
