Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To better understand the interplay between digital activism and feminist infrastructure, this study investigates #MeToo activism in the Swedish construction industry and green industry. Both are industries in transition characterized by a dissonance between formal incentives, that encourage women and others to work in environments previously dominated by white men, and the informal power structures hosting a toxic masculinity. Based on media texts and interviews with key persons from the industries, the article situates #MeToo in a local context and shows how it was embedded in a supportive social, cultural, and technical infrastructure. In both industries, at the time of #MeToo this feminist infrastructure was already in place consisting of: an awareness of the problem of sexual harassment and abuse, knowledge of feminist explanatory models, established feminist online networks, and a supportive feminist culture, which together with widespread digital and feminist literacy became instrumental in the organization of the movement. Social media connected activists and created a critical mass by supporting the uniting of conflicting identity positions around shared differences. The established feminist infrastructure meant that the #MeToo activism, by articulating a widespread affective dissonance, pushed open doors that were already half open and forced them wide. This can explain some of the movement's success in Sweden.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The #metoo movement can serve as a case for how networked online environments can provide settings for the mobilization of social movements, while also entail serious risks for those involved. In Sweden, over hundred thousand people were engaged in activities against sexual harassments and abuse, where social media were used to collect testimonies and to draft and discuss petitions that were later published in print news media. While HCI research on trust focus on how people trust technical systems, the authorities behind the system, or the user generated data, trust between peers in vulnerable communities is less researched. In this study, based on semi-structured interviews and a survey that involved 62 organizers of the Swedish #metoo movement, we therefore look into the question of how a secure and supportive environment was achieved among participants despite the scale of the activism. The result shows how trust was aggregated over networks of technical systems, institutions, people, shared values and practices. The organizers of the petitions used tools and channels at their disposal such as e.g. already established social media contexts that enabled the #metoo petitions to be formed easily and spread quickly. Establishing a supportive culture based on recognition and shared values was central for the movement. However, when the activism was scaled up, strategies were used to increase security by clarifying rules and roles, limiting access to information, restricting access to groups, and limiting the scope of communication.

Maktordningar och motstånd : forskarperspektiv på #metoo i Sverige
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Den svenska #metoo-rörelsen samlade under sina första två år (2017–2019) mer än 100 000 deltagare från över 70 olika yrken och samhällsområden. I Maktordningar och motstånd belyser en grupp forskare rörelsen ur olika perspektiv och tecknar en flerdimensionell bild av hur #metoo-aktivismen i Sverige utvecklades i samspelet mellan teknik och kultur, sociala och traditionella medier, och enskilda aktörers initiativ.Genom nedslag i olika miljöer visar forskarna hur ett strukturellt förtryck i form av sexism, sexuella trakasserier och sexuellt våld uttrycks och förklaras. De visar även hur förtrycket normaliseras och förstärks i sammanhang som kännetecknas av gränslösa beteenden, maskulinitetsgörande och en utbredd tystnadskultur. Inte minst viktigt framkommer i studien att sexuella trakasserier handlar om maktutövning. Förtrycket blir särskilt tydligt i branscher där många arbetar under prekära omständigheter och där bristen på utvägar ökar risken för de som vågar säga ifrån. Forskningsresultaten visar också hur olika diskriminerande grunder, som till exempel kön, ålder och anställningsform samverkar.Boken ger en överblick över den svenska #metoo-rörelsens utveckling samt ger en större kunskap om särskilda riskfaktorer. Författarna pekar även ut strategier för att motverka förtryck och möjliggöra förändring.

Mjukvarumiljöer för gemenskap : En studie av nätgemenskap, teknik och kultur
- 2010
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna avhandling handlar om mötesplatser på Internet, där så kallade nätgemenskaper uppstår. En viktig beståndsdel i varje nätgemenskap utgörs av mjukvarumiljön som skapar förutsättningar för Internetbaserad social interaktion. Föreliggande studie syftar till att öka förståelsen för relationen mellan nämnda mjukvarumiljö och den sociala interaktionen i en nätgemenskap. Avhandlingsarbetet omfattar ett fyraårigt etnografiskt fältarbete på nätgemenskapen LunarStorm [www.lunarstorm.se], där empiriskt material insamlats genom deltagande observationer, intervjuer, samt studier av arkiverat material. Det empiriska arbetet har koncentrerats kring tre olika mjukvarufunktioner och deras användningssammanhang. De funktioner som skärskådats är status-, lajv- och dagboksfunktionen. I avhandlingen framträder ett tredelat resultat som kommunicerar huvuddragen i en synliggjord relation mellan medlemmarnas sociala interaktion och den underliggande mjukvarumiljön. För det första påvisas att mjukvarans utformning påverkar den sociala interaktionen. För det andra tydliggörs att mjukvarukomponenternas betydelse och användning aldrig är fixerad utan ständigt förändras som ett resultat av kontinuerlig användning och förnyade tolkningsprocesser. För det tredje karaktäriseras nätgemenskapens medlemmar som medskapare av mjukvarumiljön. Genom att visa på hur teknikutvecklingen skapat förutsättningar för individanpassade, distribuerade mjukvarumiljöer, ger avhandlingen också ett bidrag till diskursen gällande nya former av nätgemenskap.

Gifting Technologies : Ethnographic Studies of End-users and Social Media Sharing
- 2008
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis explores what dimensions that can be used to describe and compare the sociotechnical practice of content contribution in online sharing networks. Data was collected through online ethnographical methods, focusing on end-users in three large media sharing networks. The method includes forum message elicitation, online interviews, and application use and observation. Gift-giving was used as an applied theoretical framework and the data was analyzed by theory-informed thematic analysis. The results of the analysis recount four interrelated themes: what kind of content is given; to whom is it given; how is it given; and why is it given? The five papers in this thesis covers the four themes accordingly: Paper I presents the research area and proposes some initial gifting dimensions that are developed over the following papers. Paper II proposes a model for identifying conflicts of interest that arise for end-users when considering different types of potential receivers. Paper III presents five analytical dimensions for representing how online content is given. The dimensions are: direction (private-public); identification (anonymous-identified); initiative (active-passive); incentive (voluntary-enforced); and limitation (open-restricted). Paper IV investigates photosharing practices and reveals how social metadata, attached to media objects, are included in sharing practices. The final paper further explores how end-users draw on social metadata to communicate bonding intentions when gifting media content. A general methodological contribution is the utilization of sociotechnical conflicts as units of analysis. These conflicts prove helpful in predicting, postulating and researching end-user innovation and conflict coordination. It is suggested that the conflicts also provide potent ways for interaction design and systems development to take end-user concerns and intentions on board.

Gender and Sexuality in Online Game Cultures : Passionate Play
- 2012. - 1
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- How do gender and sexuality come to matter in online game cultures? Why is it important to explore "straight" versus "queer" contexts of play? And what does it mean to play together with others over time, as co-players and researchers?Gender and Sexuality in Online Game Cultures is a book about female players and their passionate encounters with the online game World of Warcraft and its player cultures. It takes seriously women’s passions in games, and as such draws attention to questions of pleasure in and desire for technology.The authors use a unique approach of what they term a "twin ethnography" that develops two parallel stories. Sveningsson studies "straight" game culture, and makes explicit that which is of the norm by exploring the experiences of female gamers in a male-dominated gaming context. Sundén investigates "queer" game culture through the queer potentials of mainstream World of Warcraft culture, as well as through the case of a guild explicitly defined as LGBT.Academic research on game culture is flourishing, yet feminist accounts of gender and sexuality in games are still in the making. Drawing on feminist notions of performance, performativity and positionality, as well as the recent turn to affect and phenomenology within cultural theory, the authors develop queer, feminist studies of online player cultures in ways that are situated and embodied.
