Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 2018, the Irish public voted to repeal the Eighth Amendment to the Irish Constitution, which since 1983 banned abortion in the country. While this was a watershed moment in Irish history, it was not unconnected to wider discussions now taking place around the world concerning gender, reproductive rights, the future of religion, Church–State relationships, democracy and social movements. With this Forum, we want to prompt some anthropological interpretations of Ireland's repeal of the Eighth Amendment as a matter concerning not only reproductive rights, but also questions of life and death, faith and shame, women and men, state power and individual liberty, and more. We also ask what this event might mean (if anything) for other societies dealing with similar issues?

Underwater Worlds : An Ethnography of Waste, Pollution, and Marine Life
- 2023
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this dissertation, I investigate relations between humans, waste, pollution, and marine life. I introduce the concept of Aquabiopolitics as a means to understand how humans govern life in water in order to enrich human life on land. The study focuses on the Baltic Sea and Lake Mälaren, using Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, as the connection point. Throughout the dissertation, I explore how human practices over time have had devastating effects on marine life and continue to have so today. The dissertation engages with the marine world through underwater ethnography to provide a perspective on water from below the surface. In this endeavor, I employ the assistance of marine scientists and trash scuba divers who are jointly invested in tracking human maltreatment of water and finding solutions for treating water differently in the future. We will follow the scientists on expeditions at sea and to their laboratories in order to learn about their methods and relations to underwater worlds. Together with the trash scuba divers, we will dive into the dark murky waters around Stockholm—experiencing what it is like to move below water, among sharp and toxic waste, without any visibility. The work of creating a knowing and caring relationship between humans and water is of key importance to both scientists and divers. Therefore, one of the main parts of this dissertation is to analyze how, and if, this relationship can be created: via social media, images, installations, or other means. For as the divers often say: Water is Life. Make it Important!

Gifts, Unwanted and Ungiven
- 2022

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Against a backdrop of gift-giving and reciprocity as keys in building and confirming social relationships in the field, this fictional narrative reveals a string of gift-giving events that did not work out. This outcome is rarely reported on in anthropology, but here one gift was returned immediately, another promised but never produced. There is also the anti-climactic nature of a parting gift when it is time for the fieldworker to exit the field. The setting is Dublin’s literary world, and the fieldwork includes a number of appreciated gifts, though not always in the form of an equal exchange of objects. The occurrence of unwanted and ungiven gifts that recur through the narrative are thorny reminders of the fragility of friendship in the field. The characters in the narrative are composite except for cameo appearances of named writers.

"Hammered by the Image" : Understanding Exceptional Experiences of Art
- 2020
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In her memoir Blue Arabesque: A Search for the Sublime (2006), Patricia Hampl describes how she was late to a meeting with a friend in the cafeteria of the Chicago Art Institute, running through gallery after gallery without looking at the paintings: ”Then, unexpectedly, several galleries shy of my destination, I came to a halt before a large, rather muddy painting in a heavy gold-colored frame, a Matisse labeled Femme et poissons rouges, rendered in English, Woman Before an Aquarium. But that’s wrong: I didn’t halt, didn’t stop. I was stopped. Apprehended, even.” Hampl did not have an interest in the arts. Yet there she was, ”hammered by the image.” How did this happen? This paper explores transformative exceptional experiences of art. As such experiences are affective, I suggest that two qualities are necessary for them to take place: recognition in the story of a piece of art and discovery in its form such as a new colour or surface. There was a recognition for Hampl in the gaze of the woman in the painting. The story of the image made Hampl aware of her unsettled status as a recent college graduate, but it was the special blue colour of the screen that suggested a world behind it, one of splendour. This was a liberation for her, indicating her way forward as a creative writer. An anthropological understanding of exceptional experiences of art accentuates different anthropological writing genres, methodological eclecticism, and the role of serendipity in social life and anthropology.
