Erfarenheter och reflektioner, beskriver och reflekterar tio lärare kring hur de arbetar med seminarier i exempelvis lärarutbildning, etnologi och forskarutbildning. Teman som diskuteras är: seminariets rum, historia och pedagogiska atmosfär. Men även hur seminarieledaren kan arbeta med skriftlig respons, gruppreflektion, gestaltning samt studenters muntliga diskurs och metakognition.

Journal transition to an Open Access platform

So far, three peer-reviewed journals from the humanities and social sciences have completed their transition onto the platform. In this episode, the editors of the journals describe the rationale behind the transition process and reflect upon the economics, workflows, technicalities and not least the long-term strategic goals of their journals in an international open science landscape. The journals are Current Swedish Archaeology (founded 1993), Kulturella Perspektiv: Svensk etnologisk tidskrift (i.e., Swedish journal of ethnology, founded 1992), and Tidskrift för litteraturvetenskap (Journal of literary studies, founded 1971). The four interviewees are editors of the three journals. First published online: December 9, 2021.
Contemporary Political Theory, 2021

As we shall see, the semantic and etymological resonance between 'property' and 'propriety'-both of which have made their way into the English language through the linguistic genealogy of the Latin word pro¯prieta¯s-serves in his work as an aperture for identifying a dual theoretical problem, related on the one hand to ownership and on the other to 'propriety' (as in 'being right', 'appropriate'). Returning to a number of 'questions bequeathed to us by Marx' (p. 53) but offering a set of responses that are not 'strictly Marxist', Devenney raises a few challenges for post-foundationalist theorists, probing us to think again about how property structures and reproduces inequalities, and how to resist the hegemonic force of property in ways that are not reducible to representation, signification and identification. Considering how central property is to every facet of politics, from previous financial crises and the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic to colonial violence and climate change, the task of reinvigorating this debate is urgent. These questions deserve, and require, continued debate. In this Critical Exchange we have gathered five scholars, all engaged in post-Marxist and post-foundationalist traditions in different corners of the world (Argentina, South Korea, Sweden, UK and USA), to take up this challenge-and raise some challenges for the author, to which he has had the opportunity to respond. The result is best described as a transnational theoretical plurilogue in which the contributors do not always agree, but that may hopefully mark the beginning of future discussions on hegemony, property and post-foundationalism. Jenny Gunnarsson Payne Marx, democracy and magic: Disorienting impropriety Mark Devenney opens Chapter Four of Towards an Improper Politics with a reflection on Brian Friel's play Translations set in 19 th Century Ireland. He pauses over the character of Doalty, who, on his way home from the pub in the evenings, sabotages the British Army's colonising attempts to map Irish land. Each night Doalty shifts the soldier's measuring chains just enough to throw them into confusion, causing them to take their survey instrument apart, thinking the measuring device itself is broken. This is an example of Devenney's improper politics. Rather than confront domination head on, improper politics resists indirectly. It demonstrates that the arkhe, upon which a proprietary order is based, can no longer function. Yet Devenney's text carries an air of melancholy that casts doubt on the extent to which improper politics can bring meaningful change. Although it may never lead to the elimination of assemblages of order, I argue that the story of Doalty indicates how improper politics creates conditions for a radical reassembling. Crucially, this starts with our propriety, our everyday behaviours, that through conformity uphold the assemblages that dominate our lives.

Moving images, transforming media: The mediating communitas of HallonTV and DYKE HARD

Particular attention is paid to an integral dimension of the constitution of such a political collectivity, namely its affective features. It is concerned with how a sense of ‘community’ comes to be ‘experienced’ by those who are involved, first-hand, in the development and extension of its messages to a wider public. Theoretically, the article proposes that these features will be better appreciated through both a harnessing of the discourse theoretical framework of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe as well as a reworking of the anthropologist Victor Turner’s idea of communitas.

Not only have assisted reproductive technologies developed and spread throughout the world at a rapid pace, but this significant development has also given rise to a global market of cross-border reproductive care (CBRC). This article seeks to investigate CBRC between Sweden and the Baltic states, in which Swedish infertility patients travel to private fertility clinics as recipients of egg donation. This article argues that the restructuring of the European space (occurring in and through both the so-called 'transition' of the former Eastern Bloc and the expansion of the European Union) constitutes crucial conditions of emergence for the trans-European market of infertility care, which not only results in new modalities of reproductive mobility but also articulates a new set of interrelated European gendered reproductive subjectivities. Particular attention will be paid to the ways in which such 'new reproductive subjectivities'-here exemplified by a sample of crossborder donor egg recipients-are articulated in relation to notions of 'choice' and what I call 'biodesirability', and how such notions cannot be exempt from its specific postsocialist European context.
Transgendering Mother's Day: blogging as citizens' media, reproductive rights and intimate citizenship
Citizenship Studies, 2013

This article approaches the topic of transgender citizenship by investigating empirically how the practice of blogging has served as a way of claiming, or practicing, intimate citizenship for transgendered people. Theorization of intimate citizenship helps us to further our understanding of the ways in which our most private decisions and practices are inextricably linked with public institutions, law and state policies. Significantly, this development is also tied up with other characteristically late modern technological advancements, ranging from new reproductive technologies to new Information and Communication Technologies. In the case of transgender politics, such interlacings become particularly perspicacious, not only due to modern discourses concerning diagnosis and treatment, but also because the presence of social media resources affords new possibilities for the sharing of personal and political narratives about ‘being transgendered’. In this article, I investigate an event in the Swedish blogosphere, namely the way in which the national celebration of Swedish Mother's Day became a site for the contestation of the current limitations of the reproductive legal rights for transgendered people, providing an opening for a more general debate on transgender reproductive rights.
