Automated and/or authentic intimacy: What can we learn about contemporary intimacy from the case of Ashley Madison’s bots?
- 2019
-
Ingår i: First Monday. - : University of Illinois Libraries. - 1396-0466.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In July 2015 the well-known affairs Web site, Ashley Madison, was hacked and both customer details and internal company correspondence were stolen, and later dumped online for public access. In the analysis of the data, it became clear that the site had extensively used bots to attract customers. This paper brings together these bots with a short story by Candas Jane Dorsey about the discomfiting potential of human-machine intimacies. I use the two to help me explore what I argue is an inbuilt and little discussed expectation/requirement of “authentic” intimacy: humanness.

Becoming-a-firefighter : on the intra-active relationship between firefighters and their tools
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Norma. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1890-2138 .- 1890-2146. ; 11:3, s. 158-173
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article focuses on the relationship between the members of a local fire brigade in Sweden and their tools, as well as the organisational dynamics that forge this relation. Drawing on the work of Karen Barad [2007. Meeting the universe halfway. Quantum physics and the entanglement of matter and meaning. Durham: Duke University Press], and particularly her notion of intra-action, the intention is to unpick the strong material and symbolic relationship between men, masculinity and tools seen in this profession. While Barad’s work has been useful within feminist theories, few attempts have been made to investigate how her work can benefit critical studies of men and masculinities, one exception being Ulf Mellström [2016. From a hegemonic politics of masculinity to an ontological politics of intimacy and vulnerability? Ways of imagining through Karen Barad's work. Rhizomes, 30. Retrieved from http://www.rhizomes.net/issue30/mellstrom.html] who explores how intimacy may be productive in developing more nuanced understandings of masculinities. Inspired by this approach, this article explores how using Barad’s notion of intra-action as an analytical tool can facilitate a deeper exploration of men’s intimate relationships with technologies. The intra-action between the members of the local fire brigade and their firefighting tools is not a one-off encounter, but takes place continuously. Hence, while a tool – in a specific situation – becomes an integral part of the body and the identity of a group of people, it requires constant maintenance in order to accomplish successful fire extinctions.

‘No thought of gender’ : bodily norms in Swedish rescue services incident reporting
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Gender, Work and Organization. - : Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Inc.. - 0968-6673 .- 1468-0432. ; 22:3, s. 211-220
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Information and communication technologies (ICTs) play an increasingly important role in the preventative and planning work carried out by rescue services, but to date there has been little research investigating how these technologies may be involved in the gendering of the organization. In this study, I seek to complement existing analyses of the gendered rescue service by focusing on a web portal used to collect, process and publish data about accidents in Sweden. Through the figuration of the ‘modest witness’ I suggest how an apparent absence of gender in the accident reporting process may actually be part of a wider organizational process of gendering in which only certain bodies are allowed to be visible and allowed to witness officially.

Unpacking the black box of IDA : standardisation and disappearing gender
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Masculinities, gender equality and crisis management. - Burlington : Ashgate. - 9781472477095 ; , s. 91-104
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter unpacks the contemporary "black box" of a rescue services accident database by focusing on the processes of simplification, categorisation and "tidying-up" that take place when processing data from emergency incidents. As such, I take a critical perspective on information and communication technologies (ICTs) and the role that they play in mediating and sharing information between different stakeholders, and I do this here within the particular context of a gender equality project.

Researching Intimacies and New Media : Methodological Opportunities and Challenges
- 2019

Ingår i: Qualitative Inquiry. - : Sage Publications. - 1077-8004 .- 1552-7565. ; 25:3, s. 231-236

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Researching intimacies and new media encompasses a wide variety of intersecting practices and relationships. This special issue presents contributions from researchers who are investigating practices of intimacy mediated either wholly or in part through new media in which a variety of different methodological opportunities and challenges are highlighted and discussed. Existing research has addressed different combinations of new media, intimacy, and methodology, but there remains space for a dedicated focus on the ways in which these areas are interrelated and entangled. The articles in this special issue build up a conversation around this particular intersection from a range of directions, from reflections on specific technological devices/apps and their promotion of particular forms of intimacies that may lead to (dis)comfort and (dis)connection, to the intimate—and sometimes risky—investments in research processes and fieldwork, as well as the ethical frameworks and decision-making processes guiding the research.
