Animal National Liberation?
- 2013
-
In: Journal of Animal Ethics. - Champaign, Illinois : University of Illinois Press. - 2156-5414 .- 2160-1267. ; 3:2, s. 188-200
-
Review (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The book under review offers a novel approach to politicizing the “animal issue.” Drawing on liberal citizenship theory, the authors argue that key concepts of international justice such as “citizen,” “denizen,” and “sovereignty” may be mapped onto human–animal relations in order to protect individual animal rights as well as ecosystem integrity. The ambition is also to overcome some well-known problems of traditional animal rights theory in relation to ecological concerns. Yet the argument that ecosystems, like human states, ought to be seen as sovereign communities entails problematic concept-stretching that may undermine the individual rights it was meant to protect.

Beyond Walfarist Morality : An Abolitionist Reply to Fetissenko
- 2011
-
In: Journal of Animal Ethics. - : University of Illinois Press. - 2156-5414 .- 2160-1267. ; 1:2, s. 176-186
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Maxim Fetissenko (2011) argues that the animal rights movement needs a new rhetorical strategy focusing on human health benefits and environmental preservation rather than on moral argumentation. Against this, I claim that the movement has not overused but rather has downplayed moral argumentation. Instead of promoting its real agenda, the movement has often diminished the issue of animal oppression and implicated itself in the reproduction of speciesism. If our goal is to abolish speciesist oppression, we should work consistently to make alternative identities and values available to people rather than opting for illusory shortcuts that do not disturb the speciesist social order.

Fetal and Animal Research in Sweden : The Construction of Viable Lives in Regulatory Policy Debates, 1970–1980
- 2021
-
In: Studies in history and philosophy of science. - : Elsevier. - 0039-3681 .- 1879-2510. ; 89, s. 248-256
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Following demands to regulate biomedicine in the post-war period, Sweden saw several political debates about research ethics in the 1970s. Many of the debates centered on fetal research and animal experiments. At stake were questions of moral permissibility, public transparency, and scientific freedom. However, these debates did not only reveal ethical disagreement—they also contributed to constructing new boundaries between life-forms. Taking a post-Marxist approach to discursive policy analysis, we argue that the meaning of both the “human” and the “animal” in these debates was shaped by a need to manage a legitimacy crisis for medical science. By analyzing Swedish government bills, motions, parliamentary debates, and committee memorials from the 1970s, we map out how fetal and animal research were constituted as policy problems. We place particular emphasis on the problematization of fetal and animal vulnerability. By comparing the debates, we trace out how a particular vision of the ideal life defined the human-animal distinction.

Review (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Vanliga människor är för obildade och inkompetenta för att vara med och fatta politiska beslut. Dessutom gör själva demokratin dem ännu dummare. Det menar den amerikanske statsvetaren Jason Brennan. Per-Anders Svärd har läst hans bok Efter demokratin och förutspår att den kommer att användas som testballong av nyauktoritära samhällskrafter.

"I do not want to speak here of the educated classes..." : The construction of animal cruelty in Swedish politics 1844-1858

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This article deals with the debates over animal protection in the Swedish riksdag of estates 1844-1858. The focus is on the political problem representation: What or whom was considered the cause of animal cruelty? From the standpoint of post-Marxist discourse theory and Lacanian psychoanalysis, the article offers an interpretation of the mid-nineteenth debates as attempts to depoliticize speciesist norms and uphold social control. This was done by pointing out certain groups from the lower classes as typical perpetrators of animal cruelty. At the same time the vast bulk of animal use exercised by society in general was elided from view, rendering systematic animal exploitation invisible and beyond political critique.

Normative Dilemmas in Sweden's Ethical Review Policy for Animal Experiments
- 2017
-
In: Global Journal of Animal Law. - 2341-8168. ; 5:2, s. 102-134
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Animal experimentation is a contentious ethical issue. In many countries, the debate over the morality of animal research has led to the institution of ethical review systems for animal experiments. This article discusses and problematizes the current regulations, policies, and recommendations governing the ethical review of animal experiments in Sweden. It is argued that the ongoing paradigm shift in society’s view of animals prompts a serious re-evaluation of the values underpinning the routine use of sentient nonhumans animals in research. Following from this, two lines of argument are pursued in the article. First, I make the claim that the organizational and administrative exigencies of the current ethical committee system in Sweden is likely to work to the animals’ disadvantage and undermine a fair assessment of their interests. Second, and more importantly, I reconstruct the utilitarian principles that the ethical review is supposed to be based on and argue that the reasons given for choosing utilitarian standards are undeveloped and reveal an justifiable speciesist bias. Moreover, I argue that even if we should accept these principles, the existing ethical review system would fail to meet the demands of a consistent utilitarian calculus, mainly due to its outdated understanding of how animal models work and what they allow us to predict.

När den Andre dödar : Slakt, speciesism och djurskyddsnationalism i svenska riksdagsdebatter 1887–1937
- 2013
-
In: Sosiologi i dag. - Oslo : Novus Forlag. - 0332-6330 .- 1893-4617. ; 43:2, s. 37-60
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Denna artikel ger en historisk överblick över riksdagsdebatterna om slakt i Sverige 1887–1937 och erbjuder en kritisk tolkning av de problemformuleringar som låg bakom synen på dödandet av djur. Särskilt uppmärksammas framställningen av ”de Andras” slakt, det vill säga de slaktmetoder som brukades på landsbygden, av etniska minoriteter som judar och samer, samt den slakt som utfördes för export till andra länder. Slutsatsen är att dessa slaktformer fick oproportionerligt mycket uppmärksamhet på ett sätt som normaliserade majoritetssamhällets köttkonsumtion och beskar utrymmet för kritik av den speciesistiska ordningen som sådan. Den framväxande svenska djurskyddsideologin byggdes delvis av element från nationalistiska och rasistiska diskurser – element som på ett fördolt sätt ofta är aktiva ännu i vår tids djurskyddsdebatter.

Problem Animals : A Critical Genealogy of Animal Cruelty and Animal Welfare in Swedish Politics 1844–1944
- 2015
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Despite growing academic interest in the human–animal relationship, little research has been directed toward the political regulation of animal treatment. Even less attention has been accorded to the emergence of the long dominant paradigm in this policy area, namely, the ideology of animal welfare. This book attempts to address this gap by chronicling the early history of animal politics in Sweden with the aim of producing a critical, deconstructive genealogy of animal cruelty and animal welfare. The study ranges from the first political debates about animal cruelty in 1844 to the institution of Sweden’s first comprehensive animal protection act in 1944. Taking a post-Marxist and psychoanalytically informed approach to discourse analysis, the study focuses on how the “problem” of animal cruelty was articulated in the parliamentary debates and government documents throughout the period: What was the problem of animal (mis)treatment represented to be? What kinds of animal (ab)use were rendered uncontroversial? What kind of affective investments and ideological fantasies underpinned these discursive constructions, and how did the problematizations change over time? The book contains six empirical chapters that deal with the most important legal revisions in the period as well as the parallel debates about animal experimentation and slaughter. Two major discursive regimes—an early “anti-cruelty regime” and a later “animal welfare regime”—are identified in the material, and the transition between them is theorized in terms of discursive antagonism and dislocation. Focusing on the conflict between competing discursive logics, the study charts a century of ideological struggles through which our modern attitudes toward animals were born. The book also offers a critical reinterpretation of the success story of animal welfare. Against the assumption that modern animal welfarism progressively grew out of the preceding anti-cruelty regime, the central claim of this book is that the “welfarist turn” that took place in the 1930s and 1940s also functioned to re-entrench society’s speciesist values and de-problematize the exploitation of animals for human purposes.

Slaughter and Animal Welfarism in Sweden 1900–1944

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Animal welfare has become a nearly indisputable value in many countries today. States, politicians, consumers and animal protectionists — indeed, even the animal industries themselves — all claim to support the ideology and politics of animal welfare. Many also embrace the idea that animal welfarism has been an historic success story. Though change has been slow, it remains a common assumption that animal welfare reform has followed an essentially progressive historical trajectory. This assumption is shared even by some of the more philosophically radical animal advocates who feel that welfarism, while in itself far from satisfactory, constitutes a necessary step on the road towards the full recognition of animal rights (see, for example, Friedrich 2011, Phelps 2007). From this perspective, the current regulatory system of animal protection legislation is often seen as a crucial advance over the less comprehensive anti-cruelty laws of a previous era. Extrapolating from this perceived development, the hope is that real rights for animals will grow out of animal welfarism in much the same way as welfarism grew out of an earlier anti-cruelty discourse.
