Targeted by Persuasion: Military Uniform and the Legal Matter of Killing in War

In this paper, we argue that the legitimation of killing in war is not simply formed by adherence to certain legal requirements that exist apart from and prior to war; instead, we suggest, the law of armed conflict in itself cannot but operate through admitting certain materials onto the battlefield as distinctively legal materials. Using the theory of legal materiality, we show that the military

Hegemonic Feminism Revisited: On the Promises of Intersectionality in Times of the Precarisation of Life

Intersectional studies are expanding and generating vital and much-needed theoretical debate in the discipline of feminist/gender studies. The aim of this article is to contribute to the debate through a critical reflection over the process of translation through which the concept has been introduced, interpreted and acted upon in Swedish gender studies. The purpose is also to bridge the concept o

A quantitative model of cellular decision making in direct neuronal reprogramming

The direct reprogramming of adult skin fibroblasts to neurons is thought to be controlled by a small set of interacting gene regulators. Here, we investigate how the interaction dynamics between these regulating factors coordinate cellular decision making in direct neuronal reprogramming. We put forward a quantitative model of the governing gene regulatory system, supported by measurements of mRNA

ICT access and use among elderly people in the European High North

Digitalisation is rapidly changing the availability of information and services online. This is accompanied by cutbacks to physical services in an attempt to save costs and increase efficiency. Digital skills have thus become critical to accessing and benefiting from developments in the digital age. This may have implications for social inclusion in geographically peripheral and sparsely populated

Poverty and Gender : gender helpdesk assignment about the Occupied Palestinian Territories for Sida

This paper examines how Palestinian men and women are affected by poverty related to violent conflict. By acknowledging socio-cultural understandings of gender relations, it shows how men and women become vulnerable in different ways. To counter poverty, both women and men are dependent on viable social networks. It is however clear, that females, especially those in female-headed households, have

Marxist-Feminist Theories and Struggles Today Essential writings on Intersectionality, Labour and Ecofeminism

This vital new collection presents new Marxist-Feminist analyses of Capitalism as a gendered, racialized social formation that shapes and is shaped by specific nature-labour relationships. Leaving behind former overtly structuralist thinking, Marxist-Feminist Theories and Struggles Today interweaves strands of ecofeminism and intersectional analyses to develop an understanding of the relations of

Concerning UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) : gender helpdesk assignment about the Occupied Palestinian Territories and UN Security Council Resolution 1325

This study concerns UN Security Council’s Resolution 1325 and its relevance in the OPT. By reviewing statistics and reports as well as acknowledging socio-cultural understandings of gender relations, it shows how men and women become affected by violence in different ways. In general, women are affected more indirectly than men by violence committed by the Israeli Defence Forces. However, the viol

The ‘Hardship’ of Ordinary Crises: Gendered Precariousness and Horizons of Coping in Vietnam’s Industrial Zones.

This article focuses on the ways in which women employed in Vietnam’s heavy industry, mitigate and cope with crises at the workplace and in social life. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, which I have conducted in the Industrial Zones of northern Vietnam in the international corporations called Xylan and Yate, I examine how women who are working on the floor manage crises entanglements as an under

Special Issue on Critical Explorations of Crisis: Politics, Precariousness, and Potentialities

In a crisis-ridden world, it has become increasingly pertinent to understand the breadth and depth of ‘crisis’. On a daily basis, we are alarmed by crisis reports concerning hurricanes and floods; economic and financial uncertainties; political instability; armed conflict; desperate refugees and migrants; persisting poverty; and outbreaks of aggressive global diseases such as Covid-19. This specia
