Bortom den rätta frågan : Metodologiska innebörder av att forska till... 
Arora-Jonsson, Seema
Journal article in Tidskrift för genusvetenskap;2 : Malmö högskola, Studentcentrum (2008)scientific
ARTICLE
English abstract: In the academy, a clearly defined question is the sine qua non of a good study. Theoretical, rather than practitioner knowledge, is valued. Theories considered to be neutral often have a male bias. Knowing all this, how does one link theoretical and conceptual categories with real change for women and men working with local development/forests and formulate a reasearch question useful not only to scientists but also to community members? I began my research wanting to analyze the dynamics of local forest management with special attention to how gender relations were negotiated in a sparsely populated village in northwestern Sweden. It was important that the research was relevant to the people that I worked with. This approach presented two challenges that I discuss in this article: to let the conceptual categories emerge from the research process rather than from prior theories and to bridge the gap between researcher and "research subjects". The methodology built upon designing a joint inquiry to which we brought our different interests and perspectives. As a researcher, the inquiry provided me with a means to go beyond looking at women’s customary absence from local organizations and how they may be able to get a foothold within them, to understanding how the women themselves framed their needs and issues. The women used the space of the inquiry to create a women’s forum, something that emerged in a process of dialogue with one another. They identified and unsettled practices that produced unequal relations in everyday life. While the process made obvious the differences in our positions as researcher and community members, for the duration of the research, it provided a space where academic research was open for scrutiny by those whom it sought to write about and where everyday questions became a part of social theorising. Swedish abstract: Ställer det akademiska skrivandet krav som försvårar viss kunskapsutveckling? Seema Arora-Jonsson menar att deltagande aktionsforskning kräver nya förhållningssätt. När hon studerade kvinnor i glesbygd lät hon de analytiska kategorier växa fram tillsammans med de kvinnor hon utforskade. Hon forskade med dem istället för om dem. Syftet var att kunskapen måste vara till nytta även för dem och inte bara för andra forskare.

Det tänkande skrivande subjektet : Reflektioner kring metodologiska p...
Livholts, Mona
Journal article in Tidskrift för genusvetenskap;2 : Malmö högskola, Studentcentrum (2008)scientific
ARTICLE
English abstract: This article is an experimental and critical text with the aim of addressing methodological issues of forms for academic writing in Swedish gender research. In the focus of interest lays a methodological paradox: at the same time as gender research sets out to analyse complex issues of power relations and normativity, dominance and homogeneity, mainstream theory has continued to dominate through traditional forms of academic writing. The thinkingwriting subject can be understood as a strategy for academic writing across genre, stile, time and space, and a commitment to critical reflexive research practice. The article applies a personal narrative approach and argues for a post/academic writing strategy, which make use of a style and tone to present authoring as active and powerful, and as a process between and beyond personal, essayist and discursive. The interweaving of textuality, visuality, spatiality and voice characterises the process of writing, and doubts are represented as an important impetus in relation to time and change. The question of what is an author is elaborated through the text, for example by seeking dialogue with other researchers through memory and letter writing. The reader is invited to reconsider moments where the methodological postulate is challenged. The article concludes by providing the reader extra material about the article and the author. Swedish abstract: Vad gör de vetenskapliga formerna och skrivnormerna med de genusvetenskapliga analyserna, frågar Mona Livholts. Med utgångspunkt i en personlig narrativ ansats inbjuds läsaren att reflektera kring det akademiska författarskapet, genrebegreppet och möjligheterna för post/akademiskt skrivande.

Show some emotion!
Bränström Öhman, Annelie
Journal article in Tidskrift för genusvetenskap;2 : Malmö högskola, Studentcentrum (2008)scientific
ARTICLE
English abstract: The article "Show some emotion!" invites the reader to a dog-walk through the leaking and cracked up theoretical and emotional landscape of contemporary feminist academic writing. It also pays a short visit to the (in Sweden) ongoing debate on the consequences of adapting to a so called "excellence culture", especially for critical feminist research in the humanities and social sciences. What is the cost for "passing"? And, due to the less debated requirements of "writing in English" as equivalent for "internationalisation": what is possibly gained – and what is lost in translation, from the inside-perspective of a "small" language/mother-tongue such as Swedish? Along the way, the dog-walking and talking of the text finds its inspiration both in theoretical and in literary texts. It tries to make use of a hybrid, "leaking" and experimental stylistic attitude, which strives to be both polyglot and polyphonic; both democratic and emancipatory in its effects on the reader. Thus, the overall aim of the article is to explore and challenge the notion of academic writing and knowledge production as an rational, ungendered and unemotional activity. In addition to the so-called "surplus of knowing", that is said to be a gain for the individual researcher, the article argues that we also ought to pay attention to the unrecognized "emotional leakage" that occurs alongside in all intellectual work. In feminist and gender theory the emotional experiences of gendered power relations in academia have often been derived from personal and psychological factors – instead of a plausible result of an emancipatory and anti-hierarchical epistemological claim. The improductivity of the dichotomies between reason and emotions, as well as between academic and literary writing, is demonstrated, drawing on three "emotional leakage" - situations in the works of three pathbreaking feminist theorists: bell hooks, Sara Ahmed and Donna Haraway. hook’s "passionate feminist politics", Ahmed’s illuminating analysis of "the cultural politics of emotion" and Haraway’s daring challenge to use "dog writing" as a metonym for feminist writing, altogether highligths the importance of style as method and as a potentially emancipatory strategy. Swedish abstract: Är akademiskt skrivande och kunskapssökande verkligen så rationella, icke känslostyrda aktiviteter som vi inbillar oss? I den här artikeln bjuds läsaren att följa med på en hundpromenad genom det samtida feministiska skrivandets spruckna och läckande teoretiska och emotionella landskap. Tass bredvid fot, tanke bredvid svans.

Texten, du och jag
Eduards, Maud
Journal article in Tidskrift för genusvetenskap;2 : Malmö högskola, Studentcentrum (2008)scientific
ARTICLE
Swedish abstract: Hur ska kvinnliga akademiker som skriver feminism bli tagna på vetenskapligt allvar utan att riskera att texten förknippas för mycket med dem som personer? Det är dags att skapa handlingsutrymme genom obekväm och gränsöverskridande forskning!

Vem är du? Förundran som forskningsmetod
Löyttyniemi, Varpu
Journal article in Tidskrift för genusvetenskap;2 : Malmö högskola, Studentcentrum (2008)scientific
ARTICLE
English abstract: This article is an attempt to apply Luce Irigaray’s notions of difference and the other as the methodological attitude in reading narrative or autobiographical interview data. According to Irigaray, to communicate with the other as truly different requires that we keep wondering about the other and that we speak in a language which does not presume a shared world or a common linguistic code. Instead, the way – or method – of love speaks a poetic language of rhythm and melody of the one who is speaking to the other. From the encounter between two persons, both turn back to themselves, and their identities are in the continuous state of becoming when they move between themselves and the time-space where they meet. In this article, the researcher meets with a physician she has interviewed for the purposes of her study on general practitioners’ identity. She starts her analysis with her own feeling of wonder, and she speaks to the physician while moving back to her own self and asking what she could become thanks to the narrative words given to her by the interviewee. She then asks what the motives are for scientific writing in the language of love and, further, what can be said about the cultural origins of personal narrative and professional identity if their analysis is based on the not-shared, the mysterious, the negativity of not knowing. Swedish abstract: Allt vetande startar hos oss själva. För Varpu Löyttyniemi börjar processen med förundran. Med stöd i Luce Irigarays begrepp skillnad och den andre skriver hon om självbiografiska intervjudata. Att med kärlekens språk skriva till någon, inte om någon, är en metod som prövas för att kunna tänka skillnad och låta den andra vara en annan, att inte tvinga in kunskapen i en gemensam kod.
