This Handbook aims to provide a comprehensive, international cartography of Queer Death Studies, offering broad, in-depth insights into the field and its emergence through tentacular transdisciplinary networking. Taking research and art-making on death, dying, mourning, and afterlife into new directions, it explores the multiple effects of contemporary necropolitics and the proliferation of death-worlds during the current period of Earth’s history, ‘The Anthropocene’ or ‘the Age of Man’.Informed by queer, critical posthumanist, decolonial, and feminist approaches, the Handbook presents a unique variety of both critical and affirmative reflections upon the world’s intersecting necropowers, and ethico-political potentials for social and environmental change. Contributors speculate on ways to reimagine life/ death-relations as vibrant entanglements. They also investigate modes of mourning differently, resisting necropolitical regimes that deem human and non-human individuals and populations to be disposable and non-grievable when they differ too much from the normative modern subject, Universal Man, in terms of intersections of gender, racialisation, class, sexuality, embodiment, embrainment, geopolitical positioning, or species.A thought provoking read, this Handbook is intended for broad global audiences of researchers, artists, teachers, students, death-professionals, (health)careworkers, activists, and NGOs interested in tools to rethink and reimagine death, dying, mourning, and afterlife from intersections of queering, decolonising, posthumanising, and feminist perspectives.

I denna bok presenteras feministiska teorier och begrepp tillsammans med fördjupande exempel på hur de kan tillämpas i forskning. Boken kan användas i diskussioner om kön, genus och feministiska perspektiv, men också som redskap då dessa frågor och perspektiv ska integreras med andra frågeställningar. I bokens första del beskrivs feminismens idéhistoriska och teoretiska utveckling. Här diskuteras begrepp som kön, genus och jämställdhet, vilken betydelse det materiella ges i olika teorier och varför kvinnliga teoretiker fått så lite plats i den sociologiska historieskrivningen. I bokens andra del läggs tyngdpunkten på tillämpning och empirisk forskning. Här ges exempel på hur begrepp och teorier har använts inom olika forskningsfält: sociala rörelser, kriminologi, arbetsliv, kropp och hälsa, familj, teknik- och vetenskapsstudier, emotioner samt migration.Feministiskt tänkande och sociologi ges här ut i en reviderad upplaga med nya exempel och hänvisningar till aktuell forskning och teori. Nya kapitel om kriminologi och våldtäkt samt sociala rörelser har också tillkommit. Boken vänder sig i första hand till studenter i sociologi och andra samhällsvetenskapliga ämnen, men också till dem som vill sätta sig in i hur genusperspektiv och feministisk teori kan förstås och tillämpas.

Knut är en medelålders författare som allt oftare blir förbisprungen av nya och mer spännande röster. För tjugo år sedan skrev han en framgångsrik roman som han därefter aldrig har lyckats följa upp. Den senaste boken var ett försök att bemöta kritikernas anklagelser om att han gick den vita, privilegierade medelklassens ärenden – men redaktören var inte imponerad och manuset gavs aldrig ut.
Nu har Knut bjudits in till litteraturfestivalen i Lillehammer, visserligen som ersättare i sista sekunden, men ändå. Han tänker göra det bästa av situationen, eftersom han äntligen har fått en andra chans.

Den snart sextioåriga parterapeuten Ida har förlorat sin mor, som hon minst sagt hade ett besvärligt förhållande till. Men det går bättre nu. Som död har modern tagit plats i Idas bröst, inte i hjärtat, utan någonstans bakom nyckelbenet. Där ligger hon och följer med i det som händer, en låg och stillsam röst. Sigurd, Idas vuxne son, har brutit med sin mor, och Harald, make nummer två, har lämnat henne. Men livet går vidare, klienterna fortsätter att komma, och med dem tidsandan, som Ida känner sig alltmer främmande inför. Och nu vill Sigurd plötsligt ha kontakt igen.

Ingrid och Jan har varit gifta i ett kvarts århundrade. Sönerna är stora nog att räknas som vuxna men uppför sig som hotellgäster. För Ingrid har både familjelivet och läraryrket mist sin glans. Jan, däremot, har blivit befordrad till departementschef och drömmer om sin femton år yngre kollega Hanne. Hanne som i sin tur är i färd med att bli förbisprungen på familjefronten när väninnorna gifter sig och skaffar barn.
Runt dessa tre individer kretsar Nina Lykkes träffsäkra och underhållande roman om medelålders medelklass och dess problem med kärleken, driften och meningen med livet. Nej och åter nej är en satir över privilegierade vuxnas dårskap, varm och svart som en välgörande espresso.

Elin har flyttat in på sitt mottagningsrum dit patienterna kommer i en strid ström med åkommor och brustna drömmar. I två decennier har Elin varit husläkare. Minst lika länge har hon varit gift med Aksel. Men före Aksel fanns Björn, som plötsligt tar kontakt igen via Facebook och vänder upp och ner på allt. Nu bor Elin på sitt jobb och tvingas gömma sig för vakterna när de går sina kvällsrundor. Och hemma i radhuset sitter Aksel och rasar, trots att han lagt sig till med nyskilda grannen Gro.
Nästa! är en roman om självinsiktens förbannelser och förnekelsens välsignelser. Med denna roman flyttar Nina Lykke gränserna för vad en läkarroman kan vara.

Since World War II, the biological and technological have been fusing and merging in new ways, resulting in the loss of a clear distinction between the two. This entanglement of biology with technology isn't new, but the pervasiveness of that integration is staggering, as is the speed at which the two have been merging in recent decades. As this process permeates more of everyday life, the urgent necessity arises to rethink both biology and technology. Indeed, the human body can no longer be regarded either as a bounded entity or as a naturally given and distinct part of an unquestioned whole.Bits of Life assumes a posthuman definition of the body. It is grounded in questions about today's biocultures, which pertain neither to humanist bodily integrity nor to the anthropological assumption that human bodies are the only ones that matter. Editors Anneke Smelik and Nina Lykke aid in mapping changes and transformations and in striking a middle road between the metaphor and the material. In exploring current reconfigurations of bodies and embodied subjects, the contributors pursue a technophilic, yet critical, path while articulating new and thoroughly appraised ethical standards.

Today, it often seems as though Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) have reached a stage of normalization, at least in some countries and among certain social groups. Apparently some practices – for example in vitro fertilization (IVF) – have become standard worldwide. The contributors to Assisted Reproduction Across Borders argue against normalization as an uncontested overall trend.This volume reflects on the state of the art of ARTs. From feminist perspectives, the contributors focus on contemporary political debates triggered by ARTs. They examine the varying ways in which ARTs are interpreted and practised in different contexts, depending on religious, moral and political approaches. Assisted Reproduction Across Borders embeds feminist analysis of ARTs across a wide variety of countries and cultural contexts, discussing controversial practices such as surrogacy from the perspective of the global South as well as the global North as well as inequalities in terms of access to IVF.This volume will appeal to scholars and students of anthropology, ethnography, philosophy, political science, history, sociology, film studies, media studies, literature, art history, area studies, and interdisciplinary areas such as gender studies, cultural studies, and postcolonial studies.
Writing Academic Texts Differently
Intersectional Feminist Methodologies and the Playful Art of Writing

This edited volume combines cutting-edge research on feminist and intersectional writing methodologies with explorations of links between academic and creative writing practices. Contributors discuss what it means for academic writing processes to explore intersectional in-between spaces between monolithic identity markers and power differentials such as gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality and nationality. How does such a frame change academic writing? How does it make it pertinent to explore new synergies between academic and creative writing? In answer to these questions, the book offers theories, methodologies, political and ethical considerations, as well as reflections on writing strategies. Suggestions for writing exercises, developed against the background of the contributors' individual and joint teaching practices, will inspire readers to engage in alternative writing practices themselves.

In this book, feminist scholar Nina Lykke highlights current issues in feminist theory, epistemology and methodology. Combining introductory overviews with cutting-edge reflections, Lykke focuses on analytical approaches to gendered power differentials intersecting with other processes of social in/exclusion based on race, class, and sexuality. Lykke confronts and contrasts classical stances in feminist epistemology with poststructuralist and postconstructionist feminisms, and also brings bodily materiality into dialogue with theories of the performativity of gender and sex. This thorough and needed analysis of the state of Feminist Studies will be a welcome addition to scholars and students in Gender and Women’s Studies and Sociology.

Feminist Reconfigurings of Alien Encounters reclaims the notion of alien encounters together with strange but queerly loved companions: Vulgar slugs, diatoms (micro-algae), and familiars (spirit guides of witches). The book’s three human co-authors ask: what would it take to establish more-than-human, bio- and geo-egalitarian co-existence on a planet in trouble?This playfully crafted mixed-genre book is informed by feminist posthumanisms and co-created with a spectral community of more-than-humans who are respectfully summoned to contribute with their perspectives. In focus of the entangled artistic-philosophical-poetic investigations are questions of ethics, aesthetics, and methodologies to co-exist response-ably rather than based on modern human beliefs in exceptionalism and entitlement to sovereignty, control, and conquest of more-than-human worlds. Feminist Reconfi gurings of Alien Encounters is intended for broad global audiences of researchers, teachers, professionals, NGOs, politicians, students from undergraduate to postgraduate levels, artists, writers, activists, and artivists who are interested in entangled artistic-poetic-philosophical modes of understanding the world as well as in ecology, new feminist materialism, critical posthumanism, and questions about radically rethinking and reimagining human/more-than-human relations on Earth.

Pluriversal Conversations on Transnational Feminisms

This edited volume brings transnational feminisms in conversation with intersectional and decolonial approaches. The conversation is pluriversal; it voices and reflects upon a plurality of geo- and corpopolitical as well as epistemic locations in specific Global South/East/North/West contexts. The aim is to explore analytical modes that encourage transgressing methodological nationalisms which sustain unequal global power relations and which are still ingrained in the disciplinary perspectives that define much social science and humanities research. A main focus of the volume is methodological. It asks how an engagement with transnational, intersectional, and decolonial feminisms can stimulate border crossings. Boundaries in academic knowledge-building, shaped by the limitations imposed by methodological nationalisms, are challenged in the book. The same applies to boundaries of conventional ・ disembodied and ethically unaffected ・ academic writing modes. The transgressive methodological aims are also pursued through mixing genres and shifting boundaries between academic and creative writing. Pluriversal Conversations on Transnational Feminisms is intended for broad global audiences of researchers, teachers, professionals, students (from undergraduate to postgraduate levels), activists, and NGOs, interested in questions about decoloniality, intersectionality, and transnational feminisms, as well as in methodologies for boundary transgressing knowledge-building.

Vibrant Death links philosophy and poetry-based, corpo-affectively grounded knowledge seeking. It offers a radically new materialist theory of death, critically moving the philosophical argument beyond Christian and secular-mechanistic understandings. The book’s ethico-political figuration of vibrant death is shaped through a pluriversal conversation between Deleuzean philosophy, neo-vitalist materialism and the spiritual materialism of decolonial, queerfeminist poet and scholar Gloria Anzaldua. The book’s posthuman deexceptionalizing of human death unfurls together with a collection of poetry, and autobiographical stories. They are analysed through the lens of a posthuman, queerfeminist revision of the method of autophenomenography (phenomenological analysis of autobiographical material).Nina Lykke explores the speaking position of a mourning, queerfeminine ”I”, who contemplates the relationship with her dead beloved lesbian life partner. She reflects on her enactment of processes of co-becoming with the phenomenal and material traces of the deceased body, and the new assemblages with which it has merged through death’s material metamorphoses: becoming-ashes through cremation, and becoming-mixed-with-algae-sand when the ashes were scattered across a seabed made of fiftyfive million-year-old, fossilized algae. It is argued that the mourning “I”’s intimate bodily empathizing (theorized as symphysizing) with her deceased, queermasculine beloved life partner facilitates the processes of vitalist-material and spiritual-material co-becoming, and the rethinking of death from a new and different perspective than that of the sovereign, philosophical subject.

Cancer Ecologies: A Queer Femme Portal invites readers on a journey through the tangled roots of the current cancer epidemic. Moving between personal accounts and eco-critical reflections, the Nina Lykke and Camila Marambio ask: What if cancer is not just a personal tragedy or monstrous invader, but a symptom of Earth in distress – a message from the planet itself? Challenging the idea of cancer as an isolated enemy to be eradicated, this book sees it as a manifestation of the toxic entanglements of the Anthropocene: capitalist extraction, colonial exploitation, and environmental degradation.Through an eco-ethics of softness, the authors – one living with cancer, the other a carer to a partner who died from it – explore how cancer might be approached as a portal: as a conversation between pain and possibility, between necropolitics and vibrantly ongoing life. Encouraging readers to understand themselves not as separate from Earth, but as lovers entangled with peatmoss, the microalgae, diatoms, and other humble creatures that sustain us, Cancer Ecologies experiments with a genre-bending methodology: part poetic story-telling and part eco-philosophical analysis. The book offers a transformative rethinking of cancer: less as a battle, more as an invitation to compost grief and cultivate ongoing cycles of life and death, rooted in relationality, shared vulnerability, and practices of joy.

Applying recent thinking on gender and the environment to original research in science and technology, this unique book explores postcolonial relationships with ‘the wild‘ using the US and Russia as examples. The authors analyse contemporary categorizations of ‘human self‘ versus ‘wild other‘ through three twentieth century icons that best illustrate ambivalent ideas about self and other: spaceships, horoscopes and dolphins. The book includes interviews with astrologers, wilderness guides, dolphin trainers and academic staff of space agencies from both Russia and the US.The interviews highlight some interesting differences between these two cultures in ideas both about gender and about self/other boundaries. The authors also look at representations of the space race in film and science fiction in both cultures, as well as New Age and other texts on dolphins, astrology and space travel.Cosmodolphins shows how all three icons partly reproduce and partly alter the earlier, colonial self/other dichotomy of woman, native and nature against the ‘civilized‘ technologically masterful male self. We see how a particular icon of the wild - the dolphin - is elevated to mythological status, how a secularized society looks for spiritual fulfilment in the `beyond‘ - astrology - and in its own technological advances - space travel. Theoretically innovative, this book represents an alternative approach to ecofeminist themes linking them up with studies of new technocultures and cyborgs. It forms an excellent exemplar of feminist cultural studies.

Denna bok är en ovärderlig introduktion till feministisk statsvetenskaplig forskning. Här presenteras feministiska teorier och empiriska analyser som tillsammans tecknar en bild av ett kreativt forskningsfält som samlas kring vikten av att använda kön som analytiskt verktyg, och som rymmer både konstruktiva teoretiska debatter och intressanta empiriska resultat.Boken innehåller introduktioner till feministisk forskning inom de statsvetenskapliga subdisciplinerna politisk teori, svensk politik, jämförande politik och internationella relationer samt fördjupningar i de för fälten centrala begreppen kön, representation, medborgarskap och säkerhet. Dessutom presenteras exempel på empirisk forskning. Läsaren får här veta mer om hur närbyråkrater för omsorgsetiska resonemang, hur svensk familjepolitik drabbar ensamstående mödrar, vad som karaktäriserar olika typer av könskvotering och hur ritualerna kring begravningar av kvinnliga soldater som har dött i striderna i Afghanistan återskapar den manliga soldaten som norm. Politik och kön vänder sig i första hand till studenter i statsvetenskap och genusvetenskap.

Välkommen till framtiden! Men vilken framtid? Framtiden som begrepp är både mångtydigt och politiskt laddat. Å ena sidan framställs den som en naturlig förlängning av det förflutna och som något som kan planeras, styras och förutses. Å andra sidan öppnar begreppet framtider i plural för en kamp mellan olika visioner och en omförhandling av de historieskrivningar som legitimerar vissa framtider framför andra. I den bemärkelsen handlar framtiden inte bara om tiden som ligger framför oss, utan också om att omskriva förfluten tid för att göra vissa framtider tänkbara och andra otänkbara. I nummer 86–87 av Fronesis utforskas framtidsbegreppet i en tid då grundvillkoren för politiskt arbete drastiskt förändrats. Vi står inför det som kallas en metakris: klimatförändringar, växande auktoritära krafter och skenande ojämlikhet som alla är förbundna med varandra. Numret problematiserar den västerländska modernitetens linjära framstegstanke och granskar hur »smarta framtider« och accelerationspolitik riskerar att fördjupa samtidens kriser. Men här erbjuds också alternativ genom perspektiv som betonar långsamhet framför acceleration och kollektiv omsorg framför individuell överlevnad. I numret publiceras en intervju med den belgiska filosofen Isabelle Stengers om snabb och långsam vetenskap, en klassisk text av den brittiske marxisten Raymond Williams om hur överlevnadskalkyler ersatt framtidstro och den tysk-nigerianske psykologen Báyò Akómoláfés reflektion över aktivism och aktörskap. Här finns också texter av bland andra aktivisten adrienne maree brown, kollektivet Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures (GTDF), författaren Ursula K. Le Guin, forskaren i miljöhumaniora Kati Lindström och teologen Jayne Svenungsson.
