Equality Struggles
Women’s Movements, Neoliberal Markets and State Political Agendas in Scandinavia
Häftad, Engelska, 2019

In recent times where European welfare states are undergoing serious economic and social crises and being increasingly exposed to criticism, there has been a noticeable revival of feminist interest in the issues of equality. Focusing on a signature aspect of Scandinavian welfare states, Equality Struggles explores how gender equality and women’s rights are transforming the relationship between Scandinavian states and social actors. Indeed, drawing on in-depth analyses from fieldwork in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, this book examines the largest and most established women’s organizations and develops a multi-layered understanding of the entanglements between women’s movements, neoliberal markets and state political agendas in Scandinavia, as they give rise to feminist fractions and new feminist coalitions.Contributing to novel understandings of "equality struggles" within women’s organisations, this title will appeal to postgraduate students and scholars interested in fields such as Scandinavian Studies, Gender Studies, Political Science and International Relations and Social Theory.
Transforming Identities in Contemporary Europe

Interdisciplinary in perspective, this book explores contemporary struggles around ‘identity politics’ in Europe, offering a unique glimpse into contemporary tensions and paradoxes surrounding identities, belonging, exclusions and their deep-seated gendered, colonial and racist legacies. With a particular focus on the Nordic region, it provides insights into the ways in which people who find themselves in minoritized positions struggle against multiple injustices. Through a series of case studies documenting counter-struggles against racist, colonialist, sexist forms of discrimination and exclusion, Transforming Identities in Contemporary Europe asks how the paradigm and politics of the welfare state operate to discriminate against the most marginalized, by instating a naturalized hierarchy of human-ness. As such it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences and humanities with interests in race, gender, colonialism and postcolonialism, citizenship and belonging.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.

In a world characterized by democratic decline, this book explores the ways in which struggles for feminist, queer and trans rights build imaginaries and shared hopes. Drawing on global and local ethnographic studies, contributors examine protests against the rise of ultra-conservative, right-wing, anti-gender and anti-feminist actors.Contending with neoliberal regimes and actors pursuing a politics of fear, this book investigates the relationship between hope and hopelessness. It evaluates the conditions that enable or hinder hope, as well as how hope shapes ongoing struggles. The chapters illuminate alternative world imaginaries, advocating for the rebuilding of communities and political action during and after traumatic experiences. Ultimately, contributors promote a radical, militant hope, particularly necessary in today’s turbulent times.Feminist and Queer Imaginaries of Hope in a Turbulent Era is a valuable resource for scholars and students of feminist, queer, postcolonial, development, global and transnational studies. Due to its rich empirical material, the book is also an essential read for activists and policy makers interested in feminist and LGBTI+ issues.

Från 1800-talets salongskultur till 2000-talets bloggkultur, från 1600-talets ikonografiska jungfrukult till dekonstruerade subjektskategorier i nutida konst, från kvinnligt till queert rör sig dessa tjugoen essäer, som fångar genusforskningen i dess fulla bredd. Bland bidragen möter oss den manlige losern i samtida skönlitteratur, kvinnliga polarfarare, homomän på Amerikabåtarna och fotokonstnären Cindy Shermans clowner. Här studeras utanförskapet i 2000-talets svenska arbetarlitteratur, det gäckande könet hos Ninni Holmqvist och bilden av familjen i Bangs kåserier. Här granskas det omtvistade begreppet moderskap, biografiskrivandets problem och den heterosexuella hegemonin i skildringarna av bondesamhället. Dessutom väcks den könspolitiskt och -teoretiskt brännande frågan: är motstånd möjligt? Moderniteter: Text, bild, kön är en vänbok till Ingrid Holmquist, en av den nordiska kvinno- och genusforskningens verkliga pionjärer.

"Vad är feminism för dig?" Frågan ställs till några av dem som kommer till tals i feministisk aktivism i Sverige idag. Deras svar illustrerar att feminism är en brokig politisk praktik, som bottnar i känslor av solidaritet och gemenskap, en vilja att göra motstånd mot orättvisor och en vilja att förändra. Vad detta innebär, och hur det görs, är vad den här boken handlar om. Genom kärlek och arbete skapas den politiska praktik som undersöks i den här boken: feministisk aktivism. Att förstå feministisk aktivism som hoppets politik handlar inte om någon form av optimism. Hoppet signalerar istället en insikt om kampens betydelse och dess mening, vilket därmed blir en påminnelse om dess nödvändighet. Feministiska aktivister skapar berättelser som är förändrande. Genom aktioner, workshops, demonstrationer, vid möten och på festivaler, i texter och i samtal skapar feministiska aktivister konkreta förändringar - av språkbruk, pedagogiska modeller, lagstiftning, rekryteringsprocesser och kulturpolitik. Men de berättelser som feministiska aktivister producerar leder också till en förändring av oss som människor, av de relationer vi har till varandra och av samhället i stort.

I tre decennier har professor Jens Rydström varit med och format historieforskningen om marginaliserade grupper. Han har varit central i etablerandet av homo- och queerhistoria som forskningsfält i Sverige. Han har aldrig tvekat för de mest tabubelagda ämnen, och har varit med och lagt grunden för forskningsfältet sexualitet och funktionshinder i Skandinavien. Jens har även bidragit med banbrytande forskning om sexarbetares historia i Skandinavien. Denna bok presenterar en brokig samling bidrag av forskare som alla har inspirerats av Jens Rydströms vetenskapliga gärning.

Recognizing the novel ways in which queer and feminist struggles for change unfold today, Spaces, Bodies, Revolts: Emerging Digital Cultures, Feminist Struggles, and Global Change explores contemporary protest movements and the ambivalent nature of digital cultures carrying them forward. While feminist and LGBTI+ struggles for rights, livability, dignity and safety have always existed, what is new today, this book argues, is the ways in which these struggles emerge, spread and connect, and how they are co-shaped by digital cultures. The chapters of the book offer insightful analyses on key topics in contemporary queer and feminist debate, such as the fluidity of visibility/invisibility in queer lives and protests, the creation of emancipatory digital safe spaces, the role of the body in feminist digital cultures, and the memebodiment of present-day social movements. Contributions highlights the potential for resistance and digital innovation in the face of repression, and delves into the digital paradox, reflecting on the ways in which digital technology enables as well as regulate and control emergent social collectives. From the vantage point of how bodies become something more than flesh, this book offers innovative approaches to capture the changing conditions for queer feminist struggles and transformative change, by examining how exchanges between physical and digital space creates an entangled world.
