Sex instead of money
Research on the dynamics of corruption has rarely considered sex as a currency in corrupt transactions. This article puts forward the argument that the abuse of entrusted power in exchange for personal gain is relevant also when sex, rather than money, is the currency. It then contributes with a careful conceptualization of such transactions as sexual corruption. Anchoring our conceptualization in the abuse of entrusted power, the article defines…
Narrating Women’s Experiences of Gendered Violence
In this introduction to the special issue, we will take on the use and meaning of narrating experience in feminist politics, through its relation to media. Narration of experience is indeed a common thread that binds different fields/actors together long since feminism became one of the major lines of political thinking: By making women’s experiences visible, feminists intervened in the inequalities that women faced in their everyday lives and in…
From Icons to Emblematic Cases
Over the last few years Turkey has seen a changed media visibility of gendered violence, mainly reflected in news and discussions about femicides (murders of women). Once treated as fait-divers , such news now appears on the first pages, or is given the status of ‘special news’. In this process, some cases have become what we call emblematic: stories given an importance reaching far beyond the individual case and thus important in the production …
När mord blir emblematiska. Våld mot kvinnor i turkisk och svensk media
This article analyses how the murder of women, femicide, is framed and understood in today’s media landscape in Turkey. In focus stands the interaction between three actors on the media arena: feminists, the media and politicians, and the process through which these actors shape stories about gendered violence. During the last few years, Turkey has witnessed a growing media visibility of gendered violence, mainly reflected in news reporting and d…
Hederns försvarare. Den rättsliga hanteringen av ett hedersmord
In this article, we analyse the judicial handling of the murder of Sara in Umeål996. As point of departure, we use the verdicts from the district court and court of appeal, together with the preliminary investigation reports. In our analysis, we see connections between different forms of violence (e g threats, physical violence), violence used by different men (e g brothers, fathers, uncles), directed against different women (e g sisters, mothers…
Om hon lever vill människor se mer och mer”
“If she is alive, people want to see more and more”: Gossip, divided femaleness and honour among Swedish women from the Middle EastThis article analyses how Swedish women from the Middle East talk about gossip. In interviews, the women talk about a “good reputation” as something “necessary” and “very important”, and about “bad reputation” as something one has to avoid at any cost. Using a contextual and relational understanding ofthe concepts of …
The killing seemed to be necessary
This article discusses a Swedish verdict in which the cultural affiliation of an Arab man who has killed his own daughter is used as an extenuating circumstance. The meaning of gender functions as a point of departure from which the court's description of Arab and Swedish culture as opposites is called into question. That which, on an explicit level, is said to be an expression of opposite norms for gender might, if one takes a closer look, show …
Saddams kvinnor - stöttepelare och akilleshälar
Women in Iraq have become endowed with a symbolic function and linked to particular constructions of national identity in the official rhetoric. In this article, different themes treated by Saddam Hussein in his speeches to the women of the Party are analyzed from the point of view of constructions of gender and national identity. On a fundamental level, dichotomizations of gender are essential to the party rhetoric, in which women are endowed wi…
