Fra #metoo til sex i arbeid(et)
metoo er kvinnekamp og kvinnebevegelse her og nå med samme glød, humor og dristige uttrykk som det vi forbinder med 70-tallets feminisme. Denne bølgen av #metoo hvor seksuell trakassering – mitt gamle forskningstema – er satt i fokus, startet via Twitter i USA oktober 2017, men bare et par måneder etterpå kom ringvirkningene i Norge. I november 2017 stod 600 norske kvinnelige skuespillere frem og vitnet om seksuell trakassering under #stilleforop…

Memory Work: Exploring Family Life and Expanding the Scope of Family Research
Can memory work be used as an approach in the exploration of family life that not only expands the domains of family research but also transforms the resulting knowledge? In this article it is argued that using the approach of memory work on everyday situations, other issues and themes are made visible than those we tell when asked about the story of our life. Exploring these themes has the potential to offer other pictures of individual and coll…
In the Homes of Others: Exploring New Sites and Methods When Investigating the Doings of Gender, Class and Ethnicity
What role does the experience of being in and observing other people's homes play in the forming of gender, class and ethnic identities and family aspirations? And how can it be explored? Using written memory stories as illustrations, it is argued in this article that by taking the perspective of the child, the door is opened to other important sites for learning acts of gender, class and ethnicity. It is further argued that use of alternative me…

Disciplinization of Gender Studies. Old Questions, New Answers? Nordic Strategies in the European Context
The old question if—and then how—to make a discipline out of Women's Studies is raised anew in Europe in 2005/6 as a result of the restructuring of the higher education system brought about by the Bologna agreement. Based on material from an on‐going EU project on interdisciplinarity between the social sciences and humanities, this article argues that in the long run institutionalization and disciplinization actually go hand in hand with the inte…

Embodying Modern Times: Investigating tiredness
We argue that the way time is organized affects bodily habits and emotions. Drawing on a variety of qualitative and quantitative studies from my large-scale research project with Ulla-Britt Lilleaas, 'The Sociality of Tiredness: The Handling of Tiredness in a Gender, Generation and Class Perspective' (presented in Lilleaas and Widerberg, 2001), we focus on class and gender aspects of bodily habits and customs generated in work life and family lif…
Institutional ethnography – towards a productive sociology. An interview with Dorothy E. Smith
Norsk könssociologi – från problemorienterad empirism til poststrukturalistisk empirism? Några betraktelser från en «outsider within»
Kunskapens kön - ett generationsperspektiv
The argument of this artide is that feminist analysis of the gender of knowledge would profit by using a generational perspective. By making use of Sandra Harding's concepts of structural, symbolic and individual gender, I suggest that it is possible to track down the structural dilemmas and the symbolic climate, specific to any one generation. This is done by positioning them in relation to their subjectivity and the epistemology they embrace. I…
Harriet Holter: A Pioneer in Gender Studies and Sociology
Harriet Holter was ahead of her time, and influenced heavily all the research areas she ventured into, such as sex roles, family, sexualized violence, resistance to knowledge and gender perspectives on research and politics. In this article these contributions are presented, illustrated and discussed. It is further argued that the explanation for her particular voice and outstanding contribution to sociology and women's research can be found in h…
Translating gender
Translating understandings of gender implies eliminating some contextual understandings and concepts that can be expressed in one's native language, in favour of the foreign language and its concepts, which may express other (contextual) understandings. "Going international" changes the voice as well as the story. In this article, a case of translation is used to illustrate the kinds of issues, dilemmas and problems encountered, but also to indic…

Women ‘s experiences ‐text or relation? Looking at research practices from a sociological and feminist perspective
As a paradoxical result of the very developments within women's research, the whole notion of “women's experiences” is now being questioned. In this article it is argued that this question should be dealt with not only on the metatheoretical or theoretical level, but also on the level of actual research practices. Starting with the level of research practices, we can find theoretical and methodological arguments for regarding experience as a prop…

Om patriarkat: En Kritisk Granskning
Vad menas egentligen med patriarkat och vilken relation råder mellan patriarkat och kapitalism? Frågor av detta slag behandlas i denna artikel, där olika sätt att teoretiskt och empiriskt bestämma patriarkatets innehåll diskuteras. Syftet är att visa vilken kunskap dessa olika 'bestämningar'ger oss om kvinnoförtryckets orsaker. Kunskap som kan och bör få konsekvenserför utformandet av kvinnopolitiska strategier
Samtal kring prostitutionsutredningen
Elisabeth Brunnberg, jurist, och Karin Widerberg, rättssociolog, har träffat en av sekreterarna i prostitutionsutredningen, Hanna Olsson, för att samtala. Utredningen har blottlagt en grundstruktur i samhället som är extremt tydlig i prostitutionen men som ytterst handlar om den 'normala' relationen mellan könen. Samtalet tar också upp hur utredarna själva påverkats av sitt arbete och betydelsen av deras inlevelse och respekt för de intervjuade k…
Sverige - gammalt patriarkat i ny förklädnad
Prostitution och våldtäkt är logiska uttryck för vårt samhälles patrikalt definierade och organiserade sexualitet. Karin Widerberg skisserar här den historiska bakgrunden till dess utveckling. Hon tar särskilt upp de rättsliga uttrycken för den modernisering av patriarkatet som sker i dag. Med hjälp av en strukturell och en individualpsykologisk ansats söker hon ge en förståelse av 'det erotiska kriget mellan könen

Har kvinnoforskningen med jämställdhetspolitik att göra
Jämställdhetspolitiken fokuserar lönearbetet - inte reproduktionen - och ser kvinnan som "problemet". Den har ett ovanifrånperspektiv och ger en föreställning om likhet mellan könen. Kvinnoforskningen har däremot ett inifrånperspektiv och arbetar med olikheter, skriver Karin Widerberg. Hur kan de båda samverka
Till en teori om kvinnoförtryck - barriärer och öppningar
Försöken att formulera en övergripande teori om kvinnoförtryck har till stor del avstannat. Karin Widerberg argumenterar här för värdet av en sådan teori, och menar att det är nödvändigt att på allvar konfrontera de barriärer som rests av den dominerande vetenskapen och av kvinnoforskarna själva
Abjektion - könets och samhällets drivkraft
Karin Widerberg gör i denna artikel en läsning av Julia Kristevas bok Powers of Horror. Utifrån Kristevas abjektsbegrepp och utifrån sin egen praktik som samhällsvetare söker hon grunden för en helhetsförståelse, som både inbegriper samhället och individen samt förklarar könsförtryckets drivkrafter
Catrine och rättvisan
Var Catrine-rättegången en extrem rättssak, eller var den vanlig och allmängiltig i det att den inrymde alla de slag av sexuella övergrepp som riktas mot kvinnor och barn, men här riktade mot ett offer som inte kunde och inte fick försvara sig
Hur mycket kvinna får jag vara som vetenskaps-man
Minnesarbete kallas en forskningsmetod som går ut på att forskarna använder sina egna minnen. Karin Widerberg har prövat metoden i en förstudie i samband med ett forskningsprojekt om sexuella trakasserier. Resultatet fick henne att reflektera över sin egen socialisering till forskare. Hur mycket kvinna - och vad för slags kvinna - är det tillåtet att vara som vetenskaps-man
Vi behöver en diskussion om könsbegreppet
Engelskans Gender motsvarar vårt begrepp socialt kön, till skillnad från Sex som, förknippas med det "naturliga " könet. Men Sex är också en konstruktion eftersom det är vi som bestämmer vad som är "natur" och "icke-natur". Det är tydligt att vi behöver en diskussion om vårt könsbegrepp. När och hur kan vi använda ordet kön ? Eller bör vi kanske undvika det
