- Both the more immediate, more reactive and the longer-term forms of emotion are highly relevant to researching on violence, with the first linking with specific disturbing events and experiences, for example, threat or worries for safety. Thus, this contribution reflects on the place of emotions in researching, in different ways and over many years, on violence, especially but not only violence to women. This includes discussion of: how emotions can be important in organising research on violence; emotions in doing research the field, and in interviewing men on violence; the relations between the emotions of interviewees and the emotions of researchers; as well as emotions between men, and emotions in analysis and writing up research material. In addition, emotion can also work in a more muted, longer-term way, with less extreme responses and experiences. These latter longer-term emotions can be linked with: first, the very practice of doing direct research on violence itself; second, certain other kinds of less immediate, more distanced violence or the use of more distanced research methods on violence; and, third, a variety of managerial, administrative and educational tasks on and around violence. I call these the emotions of gravity. Emotions are a serious business.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Environmental violence takes form of both “spectacular” events, like ecological disasters usually recognised by the general public, and “slow violence”, a type of violence that occurs gradually, out of sight and on a long-term scale (Nixon 2011). Planetary seas and oceans, loaded with cultural meanings of that which “hides” and “allows to forget”, are the spaces where such attritional violence unfolds unseen and “out of mind”. Simultaneously, conventional concepts of nature and culture, as dichotomous entities, become obsolete. We all inhabit and embody the world differently, as variously situated people, divided by national, sexual, bodily and economic status, and as very variously situated nonhumans in an increasingly anthropogenic world.This chapter focuses on subtle “slow violence” unfolding through the instances of submerged chemical weapons, so-called dead zones, invasive species and high- and low-trophic mariculture in the Baltic and North Sea regions. It zooms in on the select cases of such “environed bodies”, their stories of excruciating slow violence and yet also on unexpected encounters with care and hospitality. The aim is to unfold a low-trophic theory for the naturecultural research on violence and care within environmental humanities, and to engage a coexistential ethics of environmental adaptability informed by feminist posthumanities.
