Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Artikeln undersöker den så kallade affektiva vändningen som enligt ett specialnummer av South Atlantic Quarterly, "After sex? on writing since queer theory" (2007), kännetecknar även queerforskning på 2000-talet. Artikeln ifrågasätter existensen av "en vändning" genom en närläsning av Eve Kosofsky Sedgwicks inflytelserika skrifter om skam samt om paranoida och reparativa läsesätt. Såväl Sedgwicks förståelse av skam som hennes uttalat metodologiska reflexioner kring queerforskning kännetecknas av komplexitet och ambivalens. Detta bottnar i hennes psykoanalytiska referensram och koppling av affektbegreppet till subjektteori, till skillnad från t.ex. nymaterialistiska ansatser. Som en följd kan hennes idéer om paranoida och reparativa positioner svårligen tolkas som två väsensskilda metodologiska alternativ eller en värdering av två valbara, sinsemellan alternativa läsesätt. Sedgwicks begreppspar kan inte heller reduceras till en inbjudan till forskare att "tala om" känslor och upplevelser. I stället kan dessa två positioner, förankrade i Melanie Kleins psykoanalytiska teori, med fördel uppfattas som en beskrivning av det queera forskarsubjektets ontologiska situation: dess nödvändiga pendling mellan negativ och positiv hermeneutik, mellan kritisk granskning och ifrågasättande av denna attityd, mellan tvivel och hopp i sitt förhållande till världen. I Sedgwicks tappning innebär "affektiv vändning" en utveckling av subjektteorier. Hennes skrifter deltar i utmaningen av den förra, lingvistiska vändningen men deltar i dess dekonstruktion och vidareutveckling inifrån, med dess kännetecknande teoretiska verktyg, psykoanalys, dekonstruktion och närläsning.

Adults growing sideways : Feederist pornography and fantasies of infantilism
- 2011
-
In: Lambda Nordica. - 1100-2573 .- 2001-7286. ; 16:2-3, s. 128-158

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The article examines images of feederism, the practice of sexualized weight-gain, in online pornography and two documentaries: the British Big Love: Fat Girls and Feeders (2003) which focuses on heterosexual scenarios, and the Canadian Hard Fat (Frederic Moffet, 2002) exploring gay male weight-gain settings. Feederist imagery is argued to draw its ability to arouse as well as shock from its eroticization of infantilism in adult bodies, and from the challenges it poses to gendered norms pertaining to body size, subjectivity and adult–child binaries. Contemporary western tendencies towards both idealization and pathologization of adult infantilism, along with the cultural fear of fatness and its threat to clearly distinguishable age and gender categories, are explored as key dynamics to feederist porn. Furthermore, the notion of “growing sideways” as opposed to growing up is used to illuminate lateral and queering connections between “adults” and “children” (Stockton 2009:11–13, 20–22). If the child has traditionally represented the not-yet-subject, the infantilized adult growing sideways in feederist pornography can be seen as an aspirational no-longer-subject: simultaneously defiant to subjection and rejected from subjectivity.The article compares popular weight-loss imagery, such as reality TV dieting series, to images of feederist weight-gain. Despite many visual similarities, weight-loss imagery relies on desirability of “adult” self-control whereas weight-gain imagery draws on the forbidden sexualization of infantilism and fetishized parent-child dynamics. Moreover, links between pro-anorexia and feederist porn are analyzed, as both sexualize extreme and culturally hidden bodies that have come to connote both infantilism and death. Feederist desire and pleasure can be seen as queer in a similar sense as pro-ana imagery: the distribution of sexual focus over the whole body and theoretically unlimited temporality suggest polymorphous, infantile freedom from (hetero)normative “adult” sexuality. But watching feederist imagery raises also ethical dilemmas: the images often reduce the sideways growing adult body, especially female, into a fetish object infantilized to the point of disappearing subjectivity. Still no body can completely lack agency, when agency and subjectivity are understood as not necessarily tied to each other. Feederist imagery as eroticized adult infantilism concretizes the leakiness of the category of the subject by blurring boundaries between normative adult embodiment and infantile pre-subjectivity, while it also maintains some starkly gendered and sexualized power structures.

Queer Methodolgies : Introduction

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Queer studies are full of scholary challenges. Such as what challenges the increase in interdisciplinarity within queer studies pose for queer scholars. The question is of particular interest in the intersectional approaches to the production of subjects and the working of power. Are, for example, the different modalities of power that produce queer subjects who are classed, gendered, sexed, racialised and so on amenable to the same methods of analysis? Or do they all demand different kinds of theoretical and methodological scrutiny?

”Hip to be crip?” : om cripteori, sexualitet och personer med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article examines the value of using Crip Theory by investigating what is considered normal sexl life for people with intellectual disabilities in Sweden. By combining Crip Theory with Gagnon and Simon's sexual scripting theory, it concludes that Crip Theory can be of use for researchers and activists, and also suitable for educating staff members, in that it questions sexual norms that are most often taken for granted. However, due to the fact that research of activism inspired by Crip Theory seldom includes intellectual disabilities, its usefulness is limited, and more work is needed to solve problems surrounding agency, stigma and visibility.

Mellan metafor och litterär materialisering : Heteronormer och djurblivande i Monika Fagerholms novell "Patricia Kanin"

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Between metaphor and materialization. Heteronormativity and becoming animalin Monika Fagerholm’s short story “Patricia Kanin (Patricia Rabbit)”Literary transformations from human to animal is a figuration that occursalready in ancient literature, but is frequently employed also in modern times,particularly in science fiction, fantasy, horror-stories and children’s literature.In this article, however, I study this figuration as it appears in a realistic text,Monika Fagerholm’s short story “Patricia Kanin (Patricia Rabbit)” from thecollection of short storiesPatricia, published in 1990. Employing the termsintra-activity (Karen Barad), performativity (Judith Butler), becoming (GillesDeleuze), the Human club (Judith Halberstam) and animaling (Nina Lykke),as well as a non-hierarchical, non-metaphorical view of the relationship betweenhuman and animal (Jacques Derrida), I discuss how the figuration oftransformation in “Patricia Kanin” enlighten the social and political processesthrough which a human body is denied or granted humanity. The realistic contextin the text elucidates the close connection between the process of becominghuman and heteronormative concepts of primarily sexuality and gender, butalso age and ethnicity.
