DIY Plant Milk: A Recipe-Manifesto and Method of Ethical Relations, Care, and Resistance
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Making Milk: The Past, Present and Future of Our Primary Food. - London : Bloomsbury. - 9781350029965
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This recipe-manifesto considers the political theology of milk as perfecting a relation: between mother and child, between sovereign state and lawful citizen, and between corporation and consumer. Insisting on the importance of milk as inherently relational, I suggest that instead of swapping dairy for plant milk at the grocery store, or considering plant milk as superior to dairy, making plant milk the DIY (do it yourself) way offers a method of ethical relations, care, and resistance. An oat milk recipe is provided, including simple and straightforward instructions. The slowness of making milk, the essay suggests, allows us to value the labor we put into milk. It further forces us to reflect on the reasons why we need it and want it, including a more careful consideration of which relations we want to foster through milk and which relations we must, or want to, resist.

International Law PhD Supervision Pedagogy: A Psycho/Analytical Situation of Counter/Transference
- 2024
-
Ingår i: The Significance of Greger Noll. - Lund : Livonia Print. - 9789152794043 ; , s. 107-118
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This essay traces my work in co-developing a pedagogical framework for PhD supervision together with Gregor Noll, as I worked pursuant to a doctoral degree in international law. It draws on French psychoanalytic scholar Jean Laplanche and argues that the notion and practice of transference in the psychoanalytical situation - as part of psychoanalytical theory and practice - may be helpful as a pedagogical tool for PhD supervision in international law and beyond.

Maskininlärning och rättsligt beslutsfattande: migrationsrätt, automatisering och gradvis integrerad AI
- 2021
-
Ingår i: AI, digitalisering och rätten. - Lund : Studentlitteratur. - 9789144137858 ; , s. 123-142
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Detta kapitel utgår från mötet mellan maskininlärning (ML), det migrationsrättsliga området och svensk förvaltningsrätt. Det ger en översiktlig introduktion till vad ML är, hur det kan användas i rättsligt beslutsfattande, samt vilka centrala design-, metod- och rättsliga frågor som uppstår vid tillskapandet och användningen av ML-modeller för beslutsfattande och prediktion. Vi ställer frågan: ”Om AI är svaret, vad är då frågan?” Kapitlet avslutas med reflektioner kring ett nödvändigt mänskligt kvalitativt tolkningsföreträde och en gradvis integrerad AI i rättsligt beslutsfattande, med utgångspunkt i det migrationsrättsliga området.

Ordering Human-Other relationships: International Humanitarian Law and Ecologies of Armed Conflicts in the Anthropocene
- 2023
-
Ingår i: International Law and Anthropocentrism. - Abingdon : Routledge. - 9780367858223 - 9781000892222 ; , s. 122-141
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter analyses the international humanitarian legal ordering of human and other relationships during armed conflict and disaster by looking at two examples, namely the ‘natural’ environment and human-scientific constructed AI-powered swarms of drones. Drawing on these examples, as well as post-anthropocentric and posthuman legal scholaship, we argue that International Humanitarian Law (IHL) has some potential in developing in a post-anthropocentric direction, specifically in reorienting its focus from armed conflicts to violent outbursts by making use of the Deleuze-Guattarian notion of ‘war-machines’. We argue that this will eable IHL to offer a better protection on a less anthropocentric and more inclusive and equal basis in a shared posthuman ecology. The chapter offers an overview of current legal regulations as well as a theoretical and practice-oriented outline for the development of IHL.

Post-humanitarian Law
- 2023
-
Ingår i: More Posthuman Glossary. - Oxford : Bloomsbury. - 9781350231429
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Drawing on Rosi Braidotti’s posthuman feminist theory post-humanitarian law takes seriously the ontological shift needed in order to move away from traditional International Humanitarian Law (IHL), towards a law able to better describe and work for our own time and condition. To this end post-humanitarian law offers a framework of norms applicable during situations of war, conflict as well as other instances of violent eruptions. Moreover, it moves from inter-national to transnational legal ordering. A central tenant of the ontological shift entailed in the move from IHL to a post-humanitarian law is the possibility to move beyond the human as law’s ultimate genesis, telos, primary object of protection as well as custodian of all things worthy of recognition. Post-humanitarian law thus builds on a critique of both humanism and anthropocentrism as it transgresses their binary distinctions and hierarchies.

Posthuman feminism as a theoretical and methodological approach to international
- 2024
-
Ingår i: International law and posthuman theory / edited by Matilda Arvidsson and Emily Jones.. - Abingdon : Routledge. - 9781032658032
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter foregrounds questions of methodology, showing how posthuman feminism can be used as a theoretical and methodological approach in international law. It sets out some fundamentals about what posthuman feminism is and does and what methods international legal scholars and practitioners working with posthuman theory – feminist and otherwise – use. Two arguments are pursued in the chapter. First, it is argued that posthuman theory is both a discursive-linguistic and a material mode of analysis. This is not a novel argument, yet it serves as timely a reminder against the incidental forgetting of a fundamental part of the theoretical and methodological design. Second, the chapter moves on to argue that – and show how – posthuman feminism can help international legal scholars and practitioners employ new ways of seeing and sensing the contemporary world: to cut the frames of analysis differently, and to probe international law’s categories in new ways to reconsider and reconfigure dichotomic and hierarchical notions of oppression, exclusion and predatory violence towards more inclusive and less violent ends. For these purposes, posthuman feminism avails a navigational tool for anyone seeking to make the world a better place, in our own time, as international lawyers or otherwise.

The ‘turn to history’ and the year of the yearbook of international law
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Netherlands Yearbook of International Law 2019. Yearbooks in International Law: History, Function and Future/ Editors Otto SpijkersWouter G. WernerRamses A. Wessel. - The Hague : T.M.C. Asser Press. - 9789462654037 ; , s. 9-20
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter concerns the relation between time, progression and history in international law. It places the yearbook in a broader context of the ‘turn to history’ in international legal scholarship, and asks how the ‘year’ figures as a placeholder of meaning and authority in international law and its’ narratives. Drawing on recent scholarly debates on narration in relation to international law and emerging technologies – especially artificial intelligence (AI) – the article calls for a book of international law that knows of no year, no history, no beginning and no perpetually postponed end.

Theoretical and Methodological Approaches to Gender and International Law
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Oxford Bibliographies in International Law. - Oxford : Oxford Universitty Press.
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- ‘Gender’ as a specific topic of concern appeared gradually within international law and scholarship, initially by scholars drawing on feminist theories. A central concern in the scholarship is how gender relates to sex. For some scholars, gender is useful for distinguishing social constructions from biological sex. For others, this distinction is problematic as it conceals the way sex is also socially constructed. Reflecting these scholarly debates, the way gender is defined and relates to sex is not consistent in international legal instruments or scholarship. Another dividing question is how gender, sex, and ‘women’s situation’ relate. For some, gender means a focus on women. This conflation is questioned by others. The gender/woman question injects confusion and political force in international legal debates. More recently, gender identity has attracted attention, and while gender equality has long been a central topic of concern, states and scholars critical of what they consider ‘gender ideology’ in instruments such as the Yogyakarta Principles and the Istanbul Convention, have sought to advance ‘gender complementarity’ in its stead. For scholars committed to gender equality, ‘gender complementarity’ is conceived of as a backlash. These topics of concern do not reflect any specific theoretical or methodological approach and it is not possible to divide the theoretical and methodological approaches according to topic. Instead, the debates are pursued in a variety of ways: An early approach that remains significant seeks to identify structural biases in seemingly neutral or universal instruments. This can be contrasted to scholarship analyzing international instruments explicitly engaging with gender, the way international law partakes in forming gendered subjects, and processes of gender mainstreaming. The role of gender in gender based violence continues to be questioned. More recently, queer approaches have sought to question the normative in international law, and a theoretical focus on men and masculinity has emerged as a response to the focus on women in gender and international law debates. Aiming at granularity and ‘localizing’ gender, anthropological and ethnographic approaches contribute with narratives breaking with universalizing tendencies in international law. Similarly, intersectional, TWAIL and posthuman feminist debates approach gender as part of broader concerns, while some scholas have turned to history in order to rethink gendered aspects of international law. Natural science methods, including emerging technologies such as AI, are also used to analyze gender concerns. How gender is debated, analyzed, and questioned through different methodological and theoretical approaches demonstrate the political vibrancy of gender as a concept in international law.

Who, or What, is the Human of International Humanitarian Law
- 2021
-
Ingår i: S Pahuja & S Chalmers (eds) Routledge Handbook on International Law and the Humanities (Routledge, Abingdon 2020). - Abingdon : Routledge. - 9780367420741
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter considers who the human of international humanitarian law (IHL) is or can be. Traditionally IHL treats the human as its point of departure as well as its ultimate telos. The human is identified and categorized as either civilian or combatant, placing the various ways in which one can pass as human in focus of the targeting process. Moreover, the lawfulness of the targeting process has been made dependent on a ‘human in the loop’ who can be held accountable for warfare acts. In this chapter I show how IHL invites a gender bias and fails to take into account how military targets are identified through emerging technologies in practice, including artificial intelligence (AI), in contemporary intelligent warfare. Finding that the law fails to take into account how military targets are identified and killed through processes that are only to a limited degree controlled by human actors, the call I make for an international posthumanitarian legal ordering of the laws of war is an urgent one.

Introduction to International Law and Posthuman Theory
- 2024
-
Ingår i: International law and posthuman theory / edited by Matilda Arvidsson and Emily Jones.. - Abingdon : Routledge. - 9781032658032
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this introduction to the edited volume International Law and Posthuman Theory posthuman theory is situated as sitting between the convergence of, on the one hand, critical post-humanism, i.e., the critique of the white, heterosexual, able-bodied man as the central focus of Western thought (including legal thought) and post-anthropocentrism on the other, i.e. the idea that the human sits in hierarchy over nature, matter, non-human animals and machines. Drawing on the growing body of posthuman international legal scholarship, the introduction shows how posthuman theory may be helpful to international law and legal analyses as well as how this body of scholarship enters into conversation with related concerns and ongoing debates in international law. Positioning the chapters of the volume in context of both posthuman and international legal scholarship and practice, this introduction, moreover, provides concrete examples of how to approach some of the most pressing concerns of our own time.
