A Visual History of HIV/AIDS : Exploring the Face of AIDS Film Archive
- 2019
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Face of AIDS film archive at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, consists of more than 700 hours of unedited and edited footage, shot over a period of more than thirty years and all over the world by filmmaker and journalist Staffan Hildebrand. The material documents the HIV/AIDS pandemic and includes scenes from conferences and rallies, and interviews with activists, physicians, people with the infection, and researchers. It represents a global historical development from the early years of the AIDS crisis to a situation in which it is possible to live a normal life with the HIV virus. This volume brings together a range of academic perspectives – from media and film studies, medical history, gender studies, history, and cultural studies – to bear on the archive, shedding light on memories, discourses, trauma, and activism.Using a medical humanities framework, the editors explore the influence of historical representations of HIV/AIDS and stigma in a world where antiretroviral treatment has fundamentally altered the conditions under which many people diagnosed with HIV live. Organized into four sections, this book begins by introducing the archive and its role, setting it in a global context. The first part looks at methodological, legal and ethical issues around archiving memories of the present which are then used to construct histories of the past; something that can be particularly controversial when dealing with a socially stigmatized epidemic such as HIV/AIDS. The second section is devoted to analyses of particular films from the archive, looking at the portrayal of people living with HIV/AIDS, the narrative of HIV as a chronic illness and the contemporary context of particular films. The third section looks at how stigma and trauma are negotiated in the material in the Face of AIDS film archive, discussing ideas about suffering and culpability. The final section contributes perspectives on and by the filmmaker as activist and auteur.This interdisciplinary collection is placed at the intersection of medical humanities, sexuality studies and film and media studies, continuing a tradition of studies on the cultural and social understandings of HIV/AIDS.

Sexual violence, good taste and the education of the cinema audience : Gender and censorship in 1920s Sweden

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article makes use of records in the archive of Sweden’s National Board of Film Censorship for a discussion of the censorship of visual representations of sex and violence in films by women directors during the 1920s. From the perspective that Swedish film censorship was utilized to educate and control Swedish cinema audiences, not least concerning taste, the question is posed: how did gender and nationality play a role in the assessment of taste? Focusing on three case studies, namely Karin Swanström’s Kalle Utter (1925), Dorothy Arzner’s Manhattan Cocktail (1928) and Olga Preobrazhenskaya’s The Women of Ryazan (1927) and comparing censorship records with reviews in the daily press, the article demonstrates how nation played a role in the assessment of taste and the decisions to cut these films. The analyses also reveal that the censoring of sexual violence had a tendency to diminish acts such as rape and forced kissing in a narrative as well as on a moral level.

Documentary filmmaking as colonialist propaganda and cinefeminist intervention : Mai Zetterling's Of Seals and Men (1979)
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This essay focuses on UK-based Swedish filmmaker Mai Zetterling’s made-for-television documentary Of Seals and Men (1979). Zetterling is known internationally as an art film auteur, and this examination seeks to broaden her stature in the context of UK and Europe-based cinefeminsim movements of the 1970s. The authors argue that Of Seals and Men constitutes a significant and overlooked artefact also in the history of colonial Greenlandic-Danish relations, as it focuses on the controversy of the Greenlandic seal hunt, and was financed as a propaganda vehicle by the Danish government and the Greenland Trade Department. The article draws on extensive archival research and references Zetterling’s production notebooks and correspondence, as well as official communication by the Royal Greenland Trade Department.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Face of AIDS Film Archive consists of documentation of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, shot all over the world beginning in 1988 by Swedish filmmaker and journalist Staffan Hildebrand. In this article, the archive’s particular characteristic of process is discussed and examined through four different perspectives: first, as an ongoing documentation of HIV/AIDS in the contemporaneous moments when it was filmed; second, as a commission of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm; third, as the product of a director with a strong personal vision and authorial presence; and finally, as an expression of Hildebrand’s self-defined AIDS activism.

Ingmar Bergman, Swedish sexploitation and early Swedish porn
- 2015

Ingår i: Journal of Scandinavian Cinema. - Bristol : Intellect. - 2042-7891 .- 2042-7905. ; 5:1, s. 49-61

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article discusses intertextual relations between Ingmar Bergman films and four films from the Swedish history of late 1960s and 1970s sexploitation and pornography. Although Bergman played a significant role in the liberalization of film censorship in Sweden in the 1960s and was known for the beautiful actresses of his films, that he demonstrably inspired film-makers operating in what is usually regarded as the complete opposite of art cinema is not so widely known. In the films Jag – en oskuld/Inga (1968), Thriller – en grym film/Thriller – A Cruel Picture (1974), Justine och Juliette/Justine and Juliette (1975) and Fäbodjäntan/Come Blow the Horn (1978) there are several intertextual relations, both deliberate allusions and more implicit and unintended connections. These relations may have an impact on how we regard both the role of Bergman and the directors of sexually explicit films in the particular context of Sweden in the 1960s and 1970s.

Lasse Braun, rape scenarios, and Swedish censorship : a case study of two 8-mm porn films featuring rape

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines rape scenarios in two pornographic 8-mm films by Lasse Braun: White Fantasies/Black Power (1969) and Cerimony (1971). Furthermore, it begins an exploration of Lasse Braun, an important figure in late-1960s and early-1970s pornography. Finally, because both films were censored by the Swedish National Board of Film Censors, the article considers their specific national-historical contexts including the legal situation for pornography in Sweden and the shifting discourses on rape in the 1970s, to open up a discussion of whether the elimination of violence in pornographic representations actually makes them less misogynist. The censorship decisions clearly echoed anxieties about race and gender provoked by these two films. A closer look at the films reveals a knowing approach, not only to sexual fantasies, but also to contemporary political and aesthetic movements.

- This chapter discusses current changes in how pornography is perceived, consumed, and produced in Scandinavia, with a particular focus on Sweden. Brian McNair argues that the development in liberal democracies that has legalized and facilitated pornography in the past four decades has also enabled various sorts of progress that have been made in the areas of women's and gays' rights as well as the rights to sexual citizenship. The chapter focuses on the producers' perspective, the consumption angle and the changing context for consumption of pornographic images are also taken into account. Two producers of different pornographies are juxtaposed and compared: Mia Engberg, who produced Dirty Diaries; and Mike Beck, who has been producing mainstream porn films. The chapter is partly based on earlier research into the pornographic film in Sweden in the 1970s, but although the chapter provides historical background, the main emphasis is on the contemporary scene.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This short subject delineates the current Swedish debate about pornography's harmful effects on children as a public health problem and situates it in a discursive and socio-geographical context. It describes how the arguments of the Swedish debate align with those of an international anti-porn discourse and cautions against normative assignations of sexual practices as 'healthy' or 'unhealthy'.
