Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper examines the prevalence and patterns of honour-based violence and oppression by documenting and analysing self-reported experiences among youth in contemporary metropolitan Sweden. The material is gathered via three surveys of 15-year-olds in metropolitan Sweden (N6002). The analysis draws on feminist intersectional violence studies and situates honour-based violence at the intersections of gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. It develops the concepts of isolation and mobility within and between groups at family, community, and societal levels.The paper finds higher levels of multiple forms of violence and control, including physical, psychological and sexual violence, among youth who live with honour norms. The prevalence of violence is higher with each of the forms of isolation explored in the paper.

States of violence : Exploring welfare state regimes as violence regimes by developing a violence regimes index
- 2021

Ingår i: Journal of European Social Policy. - : Sage Publications. - 0958-9287 .- 1461-7269. ; 31:3, s. 321-336
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of the article is to examine if and how the welfare state regime typology translates into a violence regime typology in a European context. It builds on the concept of violence regimes (Strid et al. 2017; Hearn et al. 2020) to empirically examine whether the production of interpersonal violence constitutes distinct regimes, and how these correspond (or not) with welfare regimes, gender regimes, and with other comparative metrics on violence, gender equality and feminist mobilisation and transnational actors. Its main contribution is to operationalise the concept of violence regimes, thereby moving from theory to a first empirical measurement. By first constructing a new composite measure of violence, a Violence Regimes Index, based on secondary administrative and survey data covering the then 28 EU member states, countries are clustered along two axes of violence: ‘deadly’ violence and ‘damaging’ gender-based violence. This serves to examine if, and how, the production of gendered violence in different states constitutes distinct regimes, analogous to welfare state regimes, as well as to enable future research and further comparisons and contrasts, specifically related to violence and the welfare state. By providing an empirical measurement of violence regimes in the EU, the article then contributes further to the debates on welfare, welfare regimes, and violence. It specifically contributes with discussions on the extent to which there are different violence regimes, comparable to welfare regimes, and with discussions on the relevance of moving from thinking about violence as an institution within other inequality regimes, to thinking about violence as a macro-regime, a way of governing and ruling in its own right. The article concludes that the exclusion of violence from mainstream social theory and research has produced results that may not be valid, and offers an alternative classification using the concept of violence regimes, thereby demonstrating the usefulness of the concept.

Ingår i: Gender-Competent Legal Education. - Cham : Springer. - 9783031143595 - 9783031143601 ; , s. 57-94
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter presents an overview of feminist legal and political thought, aiming at discussing the different perspectives within feminist thought. In the first part, basic concepts in feminist thought such as gender, patriarchy, and feminism are explained, and a brief overview of the historical evolution of feminist movements is provided. The other two sections focus in greater detail on political and legal theories, respectively, including a critical analysis of the influence of patriarchy on mainstream legal and political discourses. The chapter will further provide a description of how classical concepts of political or legal tradition have been reconsidered from a feminist point of view, and a short presentation of the most important issues at stake in both these fields.

Minority migrant men's attitudes toward female genital mutilation : Developing strategies to engage men
- 2020

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores minority migrant men's attitudes towards female genital mutilation (FGM), and how these attitudes can be used to develop strategies to engage men in the eradication of FGM. Based on interviews and focus group discussions, the article finds that men's attitudes can be enabling, disabling or neutral: the identification of and variations between these need to be taken into account when developing strategies to engage men in the eradication of FGM. There is currently a window of opportunity for involving minority migrant men in the prevention of FGM and in the challenging of a minority migrant gender regime.

När män möts som pappor : Fadrandets politik och praktik i det jämställda och pappavänliga Sverige
- 2019
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis analyses how fathering is done and how fathers are constructed through the separate organising of men as fathers in meeting places for fathers on parental leave in Sweden. The study is located within the Swedish gender regime, characterised by its dual-earner/dual-carer model, progressive parenthood and daddy politics, and universally-oriented parenting support, making it a relatively gender-equal and father-friendly society.Theoretically and methodologically, the thesis draws on a feminist perspective. It uses ‘doing gender’ theory, and is informed by critical realism. The material is based on 25 observations at two fathering spaces, seven semi-structured interviews with fathers, and six policy documents on parenting support. Qualitative content analysis is used to analyse the material.The findings show: first, meeting places for fathers on parental leave can be understood as fathering spaces. Second, these fathering spaces are child-oriented settings and constitute somewhat of an exception within gender-neutral gender regimes. Third, fathering spaces function as transitional sites in which fathers manage different aspects of responsibility and relations to their own selves, to children, to mothers, and to other fathers. Fourth, three approaches to separate organising of men as fathers are identified: a) anti-separate; b) pro-separate; and c) gender paradoxical. The identified arguments for separate organising can be located along two parallel continua: one that stretches from individual to collective argumentation, and another that stretches from general to gender-specific argumentation.The thesis contributes to research on childcare and masculinities, and fathers’ experiences of parental leave, and to knowledge about separate organising of men as fathers. It also contributes to research and policy debates on daddy politics and parenting support by critically discussing fathering in terms of autonomy, dependence, and masculinity politics.

Heder och samhälle : Det hedersrelaterade våldets och förtryckets uttryck och samhällets utmaningar
- 2019
-
Rapport (refereegranskat)abstract
- Denna bok är resultatet av den hittills mest omfattande studien av det hedersrelaterade våldets uttryck, former och mekanismer som genomförts i Sverige. Studien bygger på kvalitativa och kvantitativa delstudier och har gjorts på uppdrag av Stockholms, Göteborgs och Malmö stad 2017–2018. Bredden gör studien unik inom detta område. Den kvalitativa datainsamlingen: 235 nyckelpersoner med djupgående kunskap om hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck har intervjuats i 95 öppna intervjuer. Några av intervjupersonerna har kunskap utifrån sitt arbete eller från sitt engagemang i föreningar. Andra har kunskap på grund av egen erfarenhet av livet i en hederskontext och av utsatthet för våld och förtryck. Några har båda dessa positioner. Den kvantitativa datainsamlingen: 6 002 ungdomar i årskurs nio har besvarat en enkät om relationer, begränsningar och olika former av utsatthet i hemmet, skolan och på fritiden. Det sammantagna resultatet visar att människor med olika etniska tillhörigheter, trosuppfattningar, funktionsnedsättningar, sexuell läggning, ålder och socioekonomiska förhållanden lever med våldsutsatthet och normer som förtrycker dem. Vidare visas att hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck är uttryck för olika svårigheter som kan sammanfattas med begreppen inneslutning och mobilitet på individ-, grupp- och samhällsnivå och i samspelet mellan dessa. Inneslutning och mobilitet betecknar att våldsutövning ökar i introverta eller inneslutna grupper där samspelet med andra grupper är låg; dvs. att mobiliteten är låg. Hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck närs bland annat av minoritetsskap, särskilt i kombination med kollektiv statslöshet, krig, migration och segregation. Social, ekonomisk och politisk rörlighet urholkar däremot våldsnormerna och minskar våldsanvändandet. Sammantaget visar resultatet att hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck drabbar individer på ett flertal sätt och att samhället genom socialpolitiken bör ta ett förnyat ansvar på flera nivåer, både akut, kortsiktigt och långsiktigt.

Migration, Honour, Violence and Inequality : Developing Isolation and Mobility as Mechanisms of Honour Related Violence
- 2021
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of the paper is to contribute to the expanding knowledge-base for reducing honour related violence (HRV), that has becomeincreasingly complicated, not to say corrupt, by ongoing neoliberalism and right-wing agendas.HRV is a serious problem with complex roots, causes and sometimes deadly consequences. It is a contested academic and political fieldconstructed through various borders, boundaries, and intersections such as nation, ethnicity, gender, age, sexuality, religion, and migration.The paper examines some of these borders, boundaries, and intersections by analysing the expressions, prevalence, and patterns of HRV in Sweden, a historically social democratic and femocratic welfare state, challenged by increasing social, economic, and political inequalities,and a mainstream discourse describing HRV as a distinctively dangerous form of violence linked to culture, religion, and migrants’ failure to‘assimilate’ to Nordic ideals of gender equality. As such, positionings on HRV have played and continue to play straight into the hands ofnationalist politics, racist agendas, and right-wing assimilationism.In contrast, the paper draws on feminist and intersectional sociological theory, at the interface of honour, integration, migration, to develop theconcepts of isolation and mobility. It is based on a substantial qualitative and quantitative empirical material: focus groups and individual in-depth interviews with people with direct, personal experiences and indirect, professional experiences of HRV (n=259) and three surveysanswered by fifteen-year-olds in Swedish metropolitan areas (n=6002).The paper shows first, how isolation and mobility reinforce or weakenhonour norms and violence, respectively

Disperse violence : gender-based violence and environmental violence
- 2020
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper is part of the session Violence Regimes: Analysing the Multiplicity of Gendered Violence(s). Violence regime is a framework developed for analysing the multiplicity of violence(s) (Hearn et al 2018; Strid et al 2018). The framework concerns direct and indirect violence; across four pillars of comprehensiveness; across macro, meso and micro levels; often with increasing amount of time and space between act and impact; and vary in both manifestation and understanding of violence, extending the continuum of violence (Kelly 1988) across four pillars: Deadly, Damaging, Diffuse and Dispersed violence.Empirically, this paper explores manifestations of violence in the first and fourth pillar of the violence regime framework: deadly and direct forms of violence such as homicide, femicide and suicide; and dispersed manifestations not necessarily understood as violence, usually indirect, sometimes directed towards a group but with a less easily identifiable ‘victim’ or ‘object; manifestations not usually recognized as violence; e.g. environmental destruction. Two different cases will be discussed, 1) automobility and 2) killings of animals for food, both associated with negative impact on the environment. First, we examine the violent, damaging and deadly effects of automobility across country comparisons of the EU28. Second, we examine slow violence (Nixon 2011) and the levels of slaughtering of animals in relation to the levels of homicide, femicide and suicide through cross country comparisons of the EU28. The paper contributes to the violence regime framework analyzing how manifestations of violence not usually understood as violence correlate with the most direct and deadly forms of violence.
