“Emotion is Another Kind of Information”
This review explores entanglements of the theoretical and affective impacts of an art exhibition called Caring Futures which was part of an interdisciplinary research project. The review is a qualitative analysis of the exhibition, and is interspersed with our experiential, affective, and creative reflections and responses to the exhibition. Creative and imaginative approaches inspire us as researchers and supported our interactions with this exh…

Epämukava, transformatiivinen ja rohkea museo
Museot ovat historiallisesti toimineet identiteettien, normien ja valta-asetelmien rakentajina, tulkitsijoina ja muokkaajina. Nykypäivänä museoissa suhtaudutaan kuitenkin usein kriittisesti niiden historialliseen rooliin. Yhä useammin museoissa pyritään toimimaan yhteiskunnallisen muutoksen tuottajina ja hyödynnetään toisinaan jopa aktivistisia toimintatapoja. Vaikea kulttuuriperintö, sen herättämät epämukavat tunteet ja niiden käsittelytavat näy…

Planetary activism at the end of the world
We are currently experiencing a planetary crisis that will lead, if worst comes to worst, to the end of the entire world as we know it. Several feminist scholars have suggested that if the Earth is to stay livable for humans and nonhumans alike, the ways in which many human beings – particularly in the wealthy parts of the world, infested with Eurocentrism, (neo)colonialism, neoliberalism, and capitalism – inhabit this planet requires radical, et…
Challenges and Solutions in Ethnographic Research
Challenges and Solutions in Ethnographic Research: Ethnography with a Twist seeks to rethink ethnography ‘outside the box’ of its previous tradition and to develop ethnographic methods by critically discussing the process, ethics, impact and knowledge production in ethnographic research. This interdisciplinary edited volume argues for a ‘twist’ that supports openness, courage, and creativity to develop and test innovative and unconventional ways …
Reconfiguring Human, Nonhuman and Posthuman in Literature and Culture
The time has come for human cultures to seriously think, to severely conceptualize, and to earnestly fabulate about all the nonhuman critters we share our world with, and to consider how to strive for more ethical cohabitation. Reconfiguring Human, Nonhuman and Posthuman in Literature and Culture tackles this severe matter within the framework of literary and cultural studies. The emphasis of the inquiry is on the various ways actual and fictiona…
Gender and the superhero narrative
As the title of the volume promises, Gender and the Superhero Narrative offers an insight into the ways gendered norms and ideals have been negotiated in superhero narratives. Yet this is not all i
Real Humans
According to the Swedish science fiction TV series Äkta människor (Real Humans, SVT and Matador film 2012-2014), humanoid robots called 'hubots' are replacing the human workforce in care work and assembly line industries. Against the backdrop of current debates about immigration and citizenship in the Nordic countries, this article does a close, contextual reading of the series, exploring how the hubots influence work and family life. We are part…
Promises, Monsters and Methodologies
Passing for Human in Science Fiction
This article discusses passing for human and constructions of humanity in the original and re-imagined versions of science fiction television series Battlestar Galactica and V. On the one hand, humanity is negotiated in the series through inhabiting “the right kind” of body; on the other hand, it is constructed by taking part in certain performances. The article examines the role that gender, sexuality, and race play in the process of passing for…
