<p>This interview article brings together Dan Goodley, Yanki Lee, Jos Boys, and Sarah Glerup in conversation about an overall exploratory question of how we can create an inclusive society for all, taking the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and pledge to Leave No One Behind (LNOB) as point of departure. The panel embodies perspectives from different academic disciplines in disability studies and architectural design, but also knowledge based on lived experience from activist practices. In discussing themes of social inclusion, individualisation, methodology, representation, identity politics, normal space, disruption, and change; the panelists share their reflections on critical concepts such as neoliberal ableism, the super cripple, and equity tourism. Besides contributing with an interdisciplinary scholarly dialogue the article concludes by highlighting key insights from the interview on the relationship of contemporary societal and cultural disability issues in theory and practice.</p>Jannick Friis ChristensenEmil FalsterBarbara CarrerasSofie Skoubo

https://tidsskrift.dk/KKF/article/view/140459
<p>Welcome to our conversation about the complex entanglements of racialization and Islamophobia in Denmark. The following panel discussion was part of a <em>Gendering in Research</em> seminar which took place the 26<sup>th</sup> of May 2023 at Aarhus University. We invited three speakers from three different disciplines to offer their take on how race, or rather racialization, and religion intersect in different Danish contexts. Coming from the field of Educational Psychology Associate Professor Iram Khawaja from Danish School of Education spoke about <em>Muslimness as a racialized category. </em>In her talk she offered examples from her interview data about how religion and race intersect in Denmark, especially in the educational system where discourses contrasting religiosity and secularity govern. Professor Lene Kühle from the Department of the Study of Religion at the School of Culture and Society offered a talk entitled <em>Is the regulation of religious individuals and communities in Denmark discriminatory or racist?</em> As the title indicate she offered a more judicial take on how we navigate religion in a Danish context. And finally, we had Professor Christian Suhr from the Department of Anthropology at the School of Culture and Society offer the talk <em>Muslims,</em> <em>Muslims, Muslims: flimflam about Muslims in Europe</em>. Suhr’s talk was based on his experiences as a film maker, and he drew attention to how the framing of movies about minorities (like Muslims) shape our understandings of what it means to belong to a particular minority. So, this is where our conversation starts - welcome.</p>Lea Skewes

https://tidsskrift.dk/KKF/article/view/147461
<p>This comprehensive study examines the lived experiences of Muslim immigrant women in Norway, focusing mainly on the colonial wounds as a manifestation of the enduring impact of coloniality on daily lives. The research illuminates the profound influence of colonial legacies on social structures, cultural norms, and power dynamics through meticulous examination and analysis of in-depth interviews. The participants’ narratives, including Amal, Ayse, and Zahra, provide crucial insights into the challenges of marginalization, dehumanization, and the struggle to forge a coherent sense of self within a society shaped by colonial structures. This study underscores the normalization of dehumanization and sheds light on the constraints imposed by the majority society, resulting in feelings of non-relationality, suffocation, survival, resignation, and a loss of futurity. By addressing the intersection of coloniality, racism, and the lived experiences of Muslim minority women, this research offers valuable contributions to the academic discourse on decolonial feminist studies of affect, providing a nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics at play in contemporary Norway.</p>Nezihat Bakar-Langeland

https://tidsskrift.dk/KKF/article/view/143485
<p>The article suggests that government statements on anti-ghetto (2021) and security (2020) initiatives feature expressions of ‘white homesickness’ that manifest as longings for a national past and future with less or no migration to Denmark from outside Europe. The analysed statements justify the planned evictions of racialised-migrantised residents of social housing areas. The article argues that the statements also perform ‘affective evictions’ of racialised-migrantised members of society from the community of the imagined national home. Drawing on critical postmigration studies and a media-analytical approach to affect theory, two instrumentalised figures are accentuated as the haunting specters of this homesick politics: the fi gure of insecurity-creating immigrant boys and the figure of parallel societies inhabited by a ‘brown underclass.’ The article concludes that for racialised-migrantised residents of social housing estates in particular, the threat of ‘affective eviction’ paradoxically involves the material threat of eviction from society’s overarching welfare shelter, that is the threat of being deprived of the right to social security.</p>Anna Meera Gaonkar

https://tidsskrift.dk/KKF/article/view/144008
<p style="font-weight: 400;">This paper explores the (non)representational aesthetics and politics of <em>Serpent Rain</em>, a 2016 Black feminist film inspired by the recovery of a Danish-Norwegian slave ship<em>.</em> Despite ample historical evidence, Scandinavia’s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade remains an underdiscussed topic; when the history is broached at all, it tends to be relegated to a distant ‘dark chapter’ already overcome. I argue that <em>Serpent Rain</em> rejects this binary of erasure vs. contained representation in its treatment of slavery, enacting instead another type of (non)representation that moves beyond “the limits of most available narratives to explain the position of the enslaved” (Hartman and Wilderson 2023, 184). Taking its meandering and associative form from <em>Serpent Rain’s</em> experimental aesthetics, this article draws on Black feminist theory—particularly Christina Sharpe’s <em>In the Wake</em>—to argue that the film unsettles visual and ontological certainty to dramatize the repetitive structure of racial capitalism and its ongoing reiterative violence, from the sunken slave ship to the ongoing extraction of oil on indigenous land. Ultimately, the film makes us question not only the hegemonic mediation of the enslaved, but also the orthography of the (white) Human and the seeming serenity of Norwegian oceanic landscapes.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong> </strong></p>Jenny Andrine Madsen Evang

<p>The history of abortion in the Faroe Islands is an under researched aspect of both local and Nordic gender history, and analyses of how abortion has taken place are still as absent as the legal right to elective abortion in the Faroe Islands. This is not due to a lack of historical records, but to their entanglements with the gendered, class-based and national power relationships defined by the Danish kingdom’s administration of the subject.</p> <p>This article focuses on the trial of Anna Maria Jacobsdatter who in 1843 was accused and acquitted for abortion in both the Faroese court and the Danish supreme court. Based on Jennifer Clary-Lemons arguments for material-rhetorical archival analysis (Clary-Lemon 2014), which build on Vicki Tolar Collins exploration of material rhetoric as feminist methodology, we focus on <em>rhetorical accretion </em>(Collins 1999), and how archival studies should emphasise the accumulation of meaning added by administrative and archival practices. Jacobsdatter status as a Faroese-speaking housemaid whose experiences are documented in Danish, attests to the rhetorical layers we as critics must address in cases such as these and how the documentation of biopolitical transgressions are reflective of their geopolitical context.</p>Turið NolsøeLena Nolsøe

https://tidsskrift.dk/KKF/article/view/143852
<p>Identifying a dominant affective polarization pertaining to contemporary trans discourse and the constraints this poses in accounting for trans experience, the article turns to the sphere of trans poetics. Through a reading of Havet i munden (2023) [The Ocean in Your Mouth] by Danish author Luka Holmegaard, the article discerns poetic strategies for navigating the politically pressurized present. The article argues that in troubling the relation between pleasure and pain, exhibiting representational<br />restraint, and attuning to bodily sensations, Havet i munden offers a renegotiation of trans affect, exhibiting the desire to move beyond the constraints of marked identity entirely.</p>Tais Terletskaja

https://tidsskrift.dk/KKF/article/view/141262
<p>This article analyses artworks by three non-binary or trans masculine artists: Kris Grey, No title (2019), Emmett Ramstad, The good ones (2006), and Marie Ahlberg Andersen, My Dick Clit has many forms (2022). I look at the corporeal traces the artworks display: wound scabs, blood drops, and crotch imprints, and find that they present a proof of trans becoming which, I would like to suggest, counters hegemonic narratives of transition and disturbs the notion of proof in relation to trans life; to highlight instead, the slowness, temporal multiplicity, and volatile uncapturability of trans embodiment. Through the article, I analyze Grey’s, Ramstad’s, and Andersen’s transition documentation as forms of counter-archiving, as well as how they function as t4t archival offerings – an invitation for other trans people to engage with their transition documentation and the potential of shaping their trans becoming through them. Through my personal narratives as refl exive, personal introductions to the analysis, the artworks, as a t4t archive, shed light on the moments and experiences that in small steps gets us, as trans people, closer to the way we want to be seen and feel about ourselves.</p>Storm Madsen

<p>During the 2010s, video game content and subsets of the gaming community have been diverging in polarized directions regarding LGBTQ topics in video game culture. On the basis of these discourses,<br />this study utilizes framing and discourse analysis to examine how video game publications frame LGBTQ topics in gaming. Analyzing 269 articles published between 2002 and 2020, it fi nds that 57,2% of articles utilize framing characterized by egalitarian equality, compared to 0,7% that use traditionalist morality framing, while 36,1% use neutral framing. A majority of articles likewise deploy politically loaded keywords in a sincere manner rather than a veiled manner, in which these words function as stand-ins for conservative views. Further, the study points to conservative discourses like Gamer-Gate affecting the output of articles between 2014 and 2015 and charts the potential construction of a journalistic paradigm in which journalists do not utilize slurs. This paradigm and high levels of egalitarian and neutral framing differ from previous findings regarding framing in game journalism.</p>Kim S. P. Minuva

<p>Analyzing the Danish media reception of Greta Thunberg’s speech at the UN’s climate action summit in 2019, this article illustrates how anger sticks to Thunberg and the youth climate movement, as well<br />as how ‘their’ anger is problematized and pathologized. The anger ascribed to Thunberg is framed as a symptom of her autism spectrum diagnosis; as a ‘mental problem’ rather than a reaction to a political problem. Further, ‘her’ anger is portrayed as contagious, posing a risk to the health of other children, and ‘her’ anger becomes the source of ‘our’ concern. The article illustrates this by drawing attention to the emergence of the fi gure of ‘the impossible child’: an angry fi gure who is denied the positive affective status of the Child even though her childishness is constantly emphasized. She is not the innocent Child who must be protected but a problematic child whose dysregulated, pathological anger must be regulated to protect other children from her.</p>Frida Hviid Broberg

https://tidsskrift.dk/KKF/article/view/143850
<p>This article discusses the political potential of sharing comics and cartoons on Instagram when that practice lies in the intersection of autobiographical art, feminist activism, and for-profit influencer work. Through a case study of cartoonist Mary Catherine Starr, aka @momlife_comics, and the 2022 viral campaign against her work known as ‘Peachgate,’ the article discusses whether Starr’s work participates in a juxtapolitical intimate public or whether it holds the potential to incite more radical transformation of the gender dynamics it criticizes. Investigating Starr’s visual style and aesthetic strategies, as well as the platformed visibility labor she engages in, the article argues that Peachgate can be seen as an indication of the potential for this work to transform from an intimate public to an affective public, although only if allowed to circulate beyond the intentions and preferred interpretations<br />offered by Starr.</p>Charlotte Johanne Fabricius

<p>The Slut, the Academic and the Manifesto. A rhetorical analysis of genre experiments and speaking-positions in two newer Danish manifestos. This article nvestigates how feminist personas in Denmark are experimenting with the manifesto genre today, to renegotiate speaking positions within the public debate on gender and equality. Since the first wave of feminism, the manifesto genre has been used as an activist tool by feminists in the West. However, the genre, being traditionally both masculine and masculinist, is causing resistance when adapted by feminist agendas. Through a close textual analysis and a rhetorical genre analysis of two current feminist manifestos, LUDERMANIFESTET from 2017 and “Writing Victimhood” from 2021, I thus investigate the challenges and opportunities of such feminist adaptions of the manifesto genre. The analysis focusses on experiments with genre through embeddings and combinations, the act of reclaiming, and the possibility for feminist speaking-positions to be created as a result. The aim is to investigate how these genre experiments affect what can be said, how this can be said, and ultimately who gets to speak.</p>Kira Skovbo Moser
