The Emperor of All Maladies, the King of Terrors’
This article considers the current worldwide cancer epidemic as shaped through complex somatechnical intra-actions between the intimately fleshy suffering of individual bodies and structural violence exerted through carcinogenic necrotechnologies such as pesticides. Additionally, it unpacks the epistemologies of ignorance that characterise contemporary cancer imaginaries in the west by reflecting on how they operate through the widespread deploym…
The Queer Erotics of Visceral Prosthetic Connections
Living an African Feminist Life – Decolonial Perspectives
The interview conversation focuses on Victoria Kawesa’s take on African and decolonial feminism, discussed against the backdrop of her life story as an anti-racist, feminist activist, writer, and scholar. Victoria has been based in Sweden since she arrived there as a nine-year-old in 1984 together with her mother and siblings, coming as political refugees from Uganda, a country steeped in civil war at the time. As a practising Catholic, Victoria’…
More Posthuman Glossary
The notion of the posthuman continues to both intrigue and confuse, not least because of the huge number of ideas, theories and figures associated with this term. More Posthuman Glossary provides a way in to the dizzying array of posthuman concepts, providing vivid accounts of emerging terms. It is much more than a series of definitions, however, in that it seeks to imagine and predict what new terms might come into being as this exciting field c…
Vibrant Death
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 decolonia…
Et åbent øjeblik
Feminist historian, Pernille Ipsen’s book is a moving, nuanced and groundbreaking historical analysis of the early years of the Redstocking Movement and Lesbian Movement in Denmark. It is also a pa
Transversal Dialogues on Intersectionality, Socialist Feminism and Epistemologies of Ignorance
Through a personalized story, anchored in historical reflections on the formative years of feminist research in the Nordic context in the early 1970s, the article engages in transversal conversations. The focus is dissonances and resonances between intersectional feminisms and socialist feminisms, and their critiques of monocategorical (neo)liberal feminisms. The method is transversal dialoguing, implying that participants in politically conflict…
Queer Death Studies
This introduction to the Queer Death Studies special issue explores an emerging transdisciplinary field of research. This field critically, (self-)reflexively and affirmatively investigates and challenges conventional normativities, assumptions, expectations, and regimes of truths that are brought to life and made evident by current planetary scale necropolitics and its framing of death, dying and mourning in the contemporary world. It is set aga…
Decolonising Mourning
This article discusses death, mourning and decolonisation, focusing on the Selk’nam of Karokynka/Tierra del Fuego, Chile. Methodologically, it is grounded in feminist experiments of bringing creative and personalized writing into academic scholarship to challenge subject/object-relations, and to generate platforms for affective, world-making intra-actions and undoings of power. Through collaborative efforts of three differently situated co-author…
Making Live and Letting Die
With a focus on global cancer epidemics, the article discusses biopolitics in the Anthropocene against the background of a notion of dual governmentality, implying that efforts to make populations live and tendencies to let them die are intertwined. The conceptualization is based on postcolonial scholar Achille Mbembe’s notion of necropolitics and cultural critic Lauren Berlant’s notion of slow death, developing Foucauldian understandings of biop…
Queer Death Studies
This special issue aims to rethink death, dying and mourning through theoretical and methodological modes of queering. These modes are mobilised under three overarching themes: (1) queer (necro)politics, which focuses not only on regimes and technologies that subjugate “life to the power of death” (Mbembe 2003, 39), while rendering some lives more grievable than others, but also, on queer modes of resistance; (2) posthuman ethico-politics of deat…

Rethinking socialist and Marxist legacies in feminist imaginaries of protest from postsocialist perspectives
The article raises questions about the neoliberal discursive erasures of socialist and Marxist legacies in feminist histories and imaginaries of protest. However, far from promoting an uncritical recycling of feminist Marxisms and socialisms as they unfolded in feminist movements during the 1970s, the article instead reassesses these trends in feminist thought through the analytical lens of the revised notion of ‘postsocialism’ in focus of this s…
Assisted Reproduction Across Borders
According to Meira Weiss (2002) Israeli society is obsessed with fertility, in a way that not only focuses on “quality” and the so called quest for the perfect baby, but also on “quantity”. Israel’s assisted reproductive policies are considered to be highly pronatalist. It has more fertility clinics per capita than any other country in the world and Israelis are by far the biggest consumers of fertility treatment in the world. Assisted reproducti…
Inequity in waiting for cataract surgery - an analysis of data from the Swedish National Cataract Register
The differences between groups defined, for example, by gender, age, native country, income, education and retirement are statistically significant. We do not consider them as clinically significant, but we consider the consistent pattern that we have found noteworthy in relation to the principle of equity in health care
Er tiden inde til et skifte fra genus till genus
The article discusses naming in academic feminism, suggesting that institutionalising naming practices should take into account the multiplicity and diversity of what bears the name Gender Studies by attaching an asterisk: Gender* Studies. The idea is borrowed from Transgender Studies and politics which sometimes use an asterisk, “trans*” to spell out the problems of fixed and essentialising, binary gender identities. The asterisk signals an open…
Generationsfeminisme - nej tak
With a point of departure in the notion of disidentification, the article argues that it is simplistic and reductionist to understand the histories of feminism via a mother-daughter-metaphor. Also the wave-metaphor which is often used to conceptualize these histories, are criticized as homogenizing and problematic
Bits of Life
Feminist Studies
This book is a rigorous and timely mapping of the field of feminist studies (FS), which critically charts its different epistemologies, theoretical lenses, methodological approaches and ethical concerns. It convincingly argues that FS are able to claim the academic authority of a discipline while keeping up a ‘transversal openness and dialogic approach to all academic disciplines ’ (p. 8). It is an expanded version of the book Nina Lykke publishe…
Feminist Studies
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 pos…
Feminist technoscience studies
Feminist technoscience studies is a relentlessly transdisciplinary field of research which emerged out of decades of feminist critiques. These critiques have revealed the ways in which gender, in its intersections with other sociocultural power differentials and identity markers, is entangled in natural, medical and technical sciences as well as in the sociotechnical networks and practices of a globalized world. As the sociocultural embeddedness …
The Timeliness of Post-Constructionism
The article defines the notion of post-constructionism and argues for its relevance in Feminist Studies
To be a Cyborg or a Goddess
This article confronts North American feminist biologist Donna Haraway's recommendation of the cyborg (cybernetic organism, i.e., a creature of the modern high-tech world) as a locus of identification for feminist critiques of current social relations of science and technology, with the strategies advocated by the Indian physicist and ecofeminist Vandana Shiva. The author discusses the opposition between Haraway's cyborg ferminism and the spiritu…
Animal Performances
Feminist science studies have given scant regard to non-human animals. In this paper, we argue that it is important for feminist theory to address the complex relationships between humans and other animals, and the implications of these for feminism. We use the notion of performativity, particularly as it has been developed by Karen Barad, to explore the intersections of feminism and studies of the human/animal relationship. Performativity, we ar…

Nya perspektiv på intersektionalitet. Problem och möjligheter
In this artide Nina Lykke welcomes the continuation of the debate set off by her article in Kvt 1.03, "Intersectionality: A useful concept in gender research". Lykke argues that we have to remain vigilant to the risk that the concept of intersectionality may lose its ability to capture changing social relations and asymmetries of power if its exad definition or methodology is pinned down. Perhaps intersectionality is best understood as a provocat…
Intersektionalitet - ett användbart begrepp för genusforskningen
This article presents the concept of "intersectionality" and argues for its usefulness for feminist research. The concept is used in recent international feminist debates in order to theorize how gender and other sociocultural power differentials such as ethnicity, race, sexual preference, age and nationality interact in the construction of subjectivity and material conditions of subjects. The first part of the article introduces the concept, a c…

Between particularism, universalism and transversalism. Reflections on the politics of location of European feminist research and education
Against the background of the intense cross‐national networking activities, which have characterized feminist research and education in Europe since the beginning of the 1990s, the article discusses politics of national and regional location. Illustrated by a discourse analysis of three Europe‐based feminist research journals with an explicitly marked international scope, it is pointed out that it seems to be a difficult task to avoid the pitfall…

Posthumane visioner
The article is a discussion of two cyberfeminists, Donna Haraway and Sadie Plant, and their innovative posthuman approaches to feminist decontruction of the masculine connotations of cyberculture. The author compares Haraway's cyborg-figure that represents a post-gender, post-origin and post-nature position to the alliance of women and machines, promoted by Plant, who, inspired by Luce Irigaray, attempts to inscribe an embodied feminine subject i…

Mellem kunstig befrugtning og naturlig intelligens - om skiftende betydninger af køn og kvalitet
The article analyses two recent debates in the Danish parliament which both focussed on the sighificance of gender. One dealt with the idea that the government should earmark forty professorships for women since the percentage of women professors remains extremely low (6%). The proposal was met with strong objections mainly arguing that quality and gender are not related. The second debate evolved around the Bill on assisted reproduction. In cont…
