Fantasi som diskursteoretiskt begrepp och etnologiskt blickfång
- 2012
-
In: Kulturella perspektiv - Svensk etnologisk tidskrift. - Umeå. - 1102-7908. ; :3-4, s. 77-83

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article reviews the possibilities for utilizing the concept of fantasy in studies combining discourse theory and ethnology. It considers the Lacanian concept of fantasy that has been worked into socioeconomic and cultural analysis by Jason Glynos, David Howarth and Joan Wallach Scott. The author suggests that the concept of fantasy could make analytical contributions for answering questions of why subjects get caught up in, and are gripped by, norms and social rules that they might not agree with. It could also contribute with a theoriza tion of the critical practices of creating counternarratives and revealing contingencies.

Gender and Struggles for Equality in Mining Resistance Movements: Performing Critique against Neoliberal Capitalism in Sweden and Greece
- 2018
-
In: Social Inclusion. - : Cogitatio. - 2183-2803. ; 6:4, s. 25-35
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article explores the intersections of gender and centre–periphery relations and calls for theoretical and political involvement in gendered struggles against colonial and capitalist forces across different national contexts. The article raises questions about the possibility of resisting inequality and exploitation arising from capitalist expansion and extraction of natural resources in Sweden and Greece, outside of urban contexts. It does so by highlighting women’s role in protest movements in peripheral places and questioning power relations between centre and periphery. The article also argues that making visible women’s struggles and contributions to protest movements brings about vital knowledge for realizing democratic worlds that do not thrive on the destruction of natural resources and the institutionalization of inequalities.

”Gruvboom kallade de det” : Gruvkritik och kamp för alternativa samhällen
- 2017

In: Samisk kamp. - Umeå : Bokförlaget h:ström - Text & Kultur. - 9789173272315

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Kapitlet handlar om att kritik av gruvexploatering sätter fingret på och bråkar med maktordningar som skapa(t)s och gjorts möjliga genom koloniala och patriarkala historier. Kapitlet tar som utgångspunkt att kritik mot att prospektera för och exploatera nya gruvor är framåtsyftande då den väcker diskussioner om framtiden och visioner om hur samhällen kan se ut. Sådana diskussioner är grundläggande för att fylla begrepp som hållbarhet och demokrati med meningsfullt innehåll. En utgångspunkt för detta kapitel är att lyssna på gruvkritiska berättelser som en viktig källa till kunskap om människors liv och villkor.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this article I do a queer reading of my maternal great grandmother’s own notes that she made when she was in her twenties between 1912 and 1918 when she was studying to become a teacher and worked as a teacher in a rural village in the northern inland of Sweden. The reading of my great grandmother’s texts comprises the double analytical act of questioning heteronormativity as a framework for life stories regardless of time and space, and at the same time problematizing what has become normative beliefs about how and where queer life can be lived. There has been an idealization of urban metropolises that emerged as the rooms where queer identities can be lived out. This has created a need to also question the spatial norms of queer identification. This paper contributes with a reading that adds to a feminist willful archive (Ahmed 2017) that can also open for queer readings of unexpected spaces in present time.

Moved by relocation : Professional identification in the decentralization of public sector jobs in Sweden
- 2012
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- During the first decade of the twenty-first century, the Swedish civil service underwent some extensive changes, such as the relocations of public sector jobs, initiated by the government in 2005. This thesis follows an ethnological tradition of focusing on employees’ perspectives as a way of exploring power relations and changes in society. In this study, I draw attention to the fears, joys, anxieties, hopes, and dreams of employees in the Swedish civil service at a time when their workplace was being relocated from one city to another.The study especially focuses on the fact that a decision to relocate initiates processes that change employee’s images of their work life and future. They become forced to rethink life and work and re-identify with professional positions. Such processes are described in this thesis as processes of professional identification.The aim of the study is to analyze professional identification among employees during the relocation of a government agency. It is based on four articles that highlight different aspects of the relocation and the conditions under which research was conducted. The overarching question that runs through the thesis is: what did processes of professional identification mean in relocation practice?I argue that such processes should be taken into account as pivotal to civil service practices such as relocation work. Such knowledge could also be used as a tool for thinking about work life change in a wider sense. Because relocations entail moving people’s entire lives, points of interest are formulated that tell stories of how social norms and rules are formed, maintained,and contested. The results in this thesis could also serve as a departure for discussing the localization of knowledge-intensive institutions.The case study builds on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2005 and 2009 at a government agency that moved from the capital of Sweden to a smaller town in the north of Sweden. The ethnographic source material was analyzed using discourse analysis.The analysis centres on a discussion of how processes of professional identification became conditioned by social structures in terms of gender, age, and social class in relocation work. I furthermore discuss the ways in which images of geographies and emotions could be regarded as social categories that conditioned professional identities and had implications for how the move of the agency was organized and conducted, for example for the transferring of competency, travelling on business, and setting up new work practices. The establishment of professional identity positions functioned to stabilize the social environment during the move - a time when many things at work seemed to be in turmoil. At the same time the positions worked to privilege some ways of professional identification and exclude others. Attention should be drawn to the ways in which agency staff became enmeshed in power structures, norms, ideals, images, and plans for the future that limited their actions in various ways. It is therefore important that the features of professional identification in this relocation process should be further discussed, not primarily as individual concerns of particular individuals, or even a particular agency or location, but as a vital issue of the greatest concern to the welfare state.
