40 år av genusforskning! : Festskrift till Centrum för genusvetenskap
- 2023
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Med denna Festskrift firar vi att Centrum för genusvetenskap i över fyrtio år har fungerat som en viktig mötesplats för kunskap och vetenskapande – en sådan plats som många uppfattar som absolut nödvändig för sin överlevnad i akademin. Genom att sätta genus i centrum på Centrum skapar vi kunskap över gränser mellan vetenskapsområden, fakulteter och forskningsfält.Centrum består i grund och botten av de människor som verkar där. Den här Festskriften är också en hyllning till alla dessa människor – deras arbete, engagemang, intelligens, uthållighet och inspirationsförmåga. Centrum existerar också tack vare de viktiga nationella och internationella nätverk inom forskning och utbildning som Centrum är del av. Med denna bok skickar vi alltså en hälsning och ett tack till alla våra kollegor inom fältet. Kapitlen i denna volym är en blandning som sträcker sig från essäer och personliga historieskrivningar om Centrum, till reflektioner om arbetslivet vid Centrum eller som genusforskare överlag, till forskningsartiklar om en rad mycket olika områden, vilka i sig också vittnar om den livliga och variationsrika forskningsmiljö som vi fortsätter att bygga tillsammans.

Perversa tidsligheter : Ageplay och litenhet ur ett queertemporalt perspektiv
- 2022
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This doctoral thesis investigates how temporality is constructed and negotiated in ageplay, a term for practices based on performative, non-chronological age and age differences. The empirical material consists of interviews with adults identifying with littleness. The experience of littleness emanates from assuming the position of a child or adolescent, or from a more abstract feeling of being little and in need of guidance. It is often acted out in a dynamic with someone assuming the position of a caregiving and/or authoritative adult. The thesis explores how ageplay opens up for understandings of time beyond the linear model that dominates Western discourse of temporality, and investigates how ageplay and littleness can add important perspectives to the theoretical field of queer temporality studies. The first chapter situates the thesis within the field of queer temporality studies, as well as within a broader field of critical research on age. It relates the thesis to earlier work on ageplay as connected to BDSM and queer sexual cultures, but also broadens this definition by treating ageplay as a complex cultural phenomenon that actualizes non-normative relations to temporality and age.The second chapter concentrates on how littleness can challenge (hetero)normative life lines. It investigates three different aspects of littleness which appear as “failed” in relation to normative ideals of individual development, and explores how these “failures” give the interviewees access to new, creative ways of being in the world. Queer temporality is often linked to the abandoning of a normative life line and its markers of success, which are closely connected to reproduction and social respectability. Thus, queer temporality is often equated with queer nightlife and public sex cultures. The interviewees’ experiences of being out of time are contrariwise anchored in domesticity and centered around everyday routines. The third chapter explores this friction, discussing how the concepts of home, family and everyday life are given meaning in ageplay, and how a focus on domesticity can contribute to the field of queer temporality studies.The fourth chapter discusses how the interviewees negotiate ideas of littleness as a progressive or “backward” position. It explores how littleness can be theorized beyond linear temporal concepts, such as nostalgia, which is commonly used about adults engaging in “childish” phenomena. The chapter stresses how this discourse creates a misleading image, since the interviewees are not seeking to return to their childhoods in the past, but to construct new possible worlds and intimate bonds in the realm of the here and now. The fifth chapter concentrates on how ageplay is associated with pedophilia. It critically investigates this linkage by exploring how the relation between fantasy and reality is negotiated in the interviews, and demonstrates how the interviewees challenge ideas of ageplay as a cover for underlying, more sinister desires. Working with the theoretical concept of the monstrous, the chapter stresses how ageplay poses a threat to the social order by melting together elements perceived as each other’s opposites, such as childish innocence and perverse sexuality.The final chapter ties together the thesis’ main arguments and reflects further upon the perverse temporalities of ageplay, and upon how experiences of littleness can contribute to the growing field of queer temporality studies.

Donors we choose: : race, nation and the biopolitics of (queer) assisted reproduction in Scandinavia
- 2021
-
Ingår i: BioSocieties. - : Springer Nature. - 1745-8552 .- 1745-8560.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the 2000s, same sex partnership laws, new reproductive technologies, and legislation rendering lesbian couples and single women eligible for state-funded assisted reproduction with donated gametes in the Scandinavian nations has resulted in significant changes in family formation. Drawing on two separate qualitative stud-ies, this paper scrutinizes Scandinavia’s alleged progressive LGBTQ politics by critically examining how ideas of kinship, race and nation shape ideas of ‘donor matching’ amongst queer parents in Sweden and Denmark. Through empirical analysis, we explore how the conditional invitation of queers into family making via state regulated assisted reproduction is entangled with racialised medical and commercial choices of donors that reflect historically specific ideas of race. In particular, we show how whiteness is framed as desirable and how being ‘racialised non-white’ is framed as a risk that ought to be minimised for children who are already considered ‘disadvantaged’ by being born into ‘queer’ families. Thus, we argue that contempo-rary queer reproduction is not only central to homonationalism, it can also be seen as a continuation of eugenic and biopolitical initiatives that have been central to the emergence of Scandinavian welfare states. We conclude by proposing further scru-tiny ofcontemporary queer reproduction as apotential ‘white-washing’ technique to manage populations.

Nordic Academic Feminism and Whiteness as Epistemic Habit
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Feminisms in the Nordic Region. - : Palgrave Macmillan. ; , s. 113-133
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter is a contribution to ongoing discussions about Nordic academic feminism. It asks why and how this field continues to assume and reproduce whiteness as its naturalisedpoint of departure and orientation and for forming a Nordic feminist “we.” Largelyconceptual, I draw on a lived archive of 15 years of participant observation in ”Nordic”academic feminism as it has taken shape at conferences, in network and research meetings,class rooms and public debates. Building on the work of Sara Ahmed, Sirma Bilge, LenaSawyer, Marta Cuesta and Diana Mulinari, I propose that whiteness can be understood as anepistemic habit of and within Nordic academic feminism. To that end, the chapter sketches aframework for understanding how whiteness is habitually and epistemically reproduced inbroader logics of narration about the field, in forms of assembly and in responses tocritiques of racism. Thus, whiteness is not simply a question of over-representation of whitebodies, it is also about the orientations and comfort of white bodies, and about how somecritiques and stories become understood as “ours” and others not.
