(Re)assembling the ‘normal’ in neoliberal policy discourses
The purpose of this article is to explore through a reading of an official Swedish policy document what questions and challenges such a document poses for feminist theory by the way the 'normal' is (re)assembled in accordance with what others have called the risk politics of advanced liberalism. The intensified focus on risk in neoliberalism has seen responsibility move from the state to individuals, and old divisions between society and market a…

När genusforskningen blir ett hot mot jämställdheten
In this article, we study a current phenomenon where gender studies comes to be formulated as a threat to gender equality. In order to deconstruct how such an argument is discursively constructed, we analyse an opinion piece, published in the Swedish paper Göteborgs-Posten in April 2012 by Professor Bo Rothstein. He writes that the government in its efforts to focus on gender equality has invested significant resources in gender research in Swede…
The Paradox of a Gender-Balanced Workforce
Through a study of the narratives and practices in a gender-balanced social worksite, this article identifies institutionalized gender normalization processes. In the tales, the social workers told of their work, they reiterated the value of a gender-balanced workforce, together with the ideal of a gender-neutral profession. This view made it hard for the workers to see the ways in which the gender order they were involved in reproduces a gendere…
The power of positioning
This article presents a feminist reading of a Swedish social work academic textbook as a case study. We use a discourse analytic approach and positioning theory, focusing on author positions through different story lines. The aim is to make visible how differences are created and positions of the author/reader normalised in terms of gender, race/ethnicity and class. The analysis illustrates how the organisation of the book privileges a particular…
Thai‐Swedish Couples in the Swedish Daily Press—Discursive Constitutions of “the Other
This study examines discursive representations of Thai‐Swedish couples in the Swedish daily press. The sample studied includes 17 articles. The study shows that the couples are constituted as inherently “different” through interweaving discourses such as a romantic love discourse, a sex tourism discourse, and a normalizing discourse, and through intersecting power relations such as those of gender, “race”/ethnicity, class, and sexuality. The norm…
Discourse analysis of a childcare drama
This article presents a discourse analysis of a childcare drama. The purpose is to focus upon paradoxical discourses of social work that include different time orders. Social work seems to be carried out according to a linear time order implicitly assuming improvement over time. At the same time the social worker is supposed to assist the individual according to the individual's current subjective needs within a time order referred to as the time…
The Art of Living—or the Order of the Living Room Sofa
Maktrelationer och normaliseringsprocesser i välfärdsstaten
This article argues for the need of intersectional analyses within the field of social work in Sweden. Intersectionality offers an important theoretical tool for more complex understandings of power because it takes its point of departure in an understandingof power as multidimensional, where gender/sexuality, ethnicity/" race" and class are constitutive and bearing principals. Intersectional analyses aim to understand how these dimensions are cr…
