Mannlighet og historie. Om mannsforskning som ny dimension i historisk forskning
Authors: Holter Øystein Gullvåg
Published: August 2018

Gender as a system of differentiation plays very diverse roles in different societies and at different ages. The paper distinguishes between gender systems and patriarchal structures, and outlines three different historical models for understanding masculinities in context: a 'household society' model, a 'master society' model and a 'gender society' model. By analysing gender relatively to societal conditions, the tendency to impose the modern conception of gender-as-power on very different historical phenomena can be avoided. Even if all equality barriers or patriarchal structures change the meanings of gender in society, the gender system is not neccessarily the main arrangement for patriarchal oppression, which may take place for example in terms of age and seniority instead. Due to ahistorical gender concepts, the late and protracted character of the transformation of the gender system in Western history has not been sufficiently acknowledged, along with a failure to identify the unique traits of the modern gender system. The article concludes by discussing modern 'phallic' masculinity linked to sexual reification and the submergence of patriarchal structures in economic relations.

Drengestreger - Studier i drenge, mænd og maskulinitet
Authors: Sørensen Anne Scott
Published: August 2018

The article outlines the new international research area, the so-called "Boyhood Studies" and the corresponding Nordic boyhood studies that are seen in interaction with on the one hand the recent men's Studies and masculinity research and on the other hand the more established women's- and gender studies. The field is described with references to central theoretical and methodological positions within the humanities and social studies during the last decades. On this background, advantages and disadvantages of the current differentiation and the many different concepts are discussed ad well as the future perspectives of the field.
Moderkærlighedens kriminelle dimensioner - Om krimi, melodrama og humanistisk kulturkritik i Kerstin Ekmans prisbelønnede roman "Händelser vid vatten"
Authors: Hejlsted Annemette
Published: August 2018

Kerstin Ekman is one of the greatest female authors in Nordic literature. In 1994, she was awarded the Nordic Council Literature Prize for her novel "Events by the Water". This article makes a study of Ekman's masterpiece, examining how the novelist - by combining the strategies of the crime novel with those of melodrama - focuses on the concept of maternal love as an inherent and given value. What Ekman offers, the article concludes, is a revised humanist basis for evaluating maternal love as well as humans' relationship with each other and with Nature, based on a rethink of the human subject as the sum of memories.
Køn og genre i TAXA: Følsom maskulinitet og mødre under anklage
Authors: Pedersen Vibeke
Published: August 2018

The article looks at the new Danish prime-time soap opera "Taxa", asking why a usually devaluated women's genre as the soap opera has succeeded in addressing the entire family in prime time on Sunday evening. The serial is discussed in the light of Christine Gledhill's statement that in the new prime-time soap "melodrama and realism, women's and men's culture, intersect (...) in a particularly productive way". I conclude that while it is true that the male characters in "Taxa" are multi-dimensional personalities, women in this Danish soap opera are not only almost absent as writers and directors, but the female figures are also highly mythologized. Thus the costs of the soap genre going mainstream are marginalization and trivilization of women.

Køn, krop og ånd i middelalderen
Authors: Wiberg Pedersen Else Marie
Published: August 2018

Very often, the medieval view on "gender" and "body" is depicted either unequivocally negative or just equivocal. According to this simplistic picture, a number of medieval men and women have been portrayed as alternately extremely misogynist and extremely submissive and self-suppressing. With the examples of Bernard of Clairvaux, Beatrice of Nazareth, Mechtild of Hackeborn, and Gertrud of Helfta, this article tries to differentiate more subtly the perception of the concepts "woman/female" and "man/male" by pointing to their function as symbols within the Christian tradition. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the view on body/soul is not an expression of simple dualism.

Kvinders smag for mænd, mænds smag for kvinder. Heteroseksualitet som smagsfællesskab
Authors: Wøldike Morten Emmerik
Published: August 2018

Heterosexuality has been largely untheorised within both sociology, feminism and gay and lesbian studies, which have traditionally been focusing on hierarchical dichotomies between men and women, heterosexuality and homo- sexuality. As the most prominent tales of heterosexuality today, post-structuralism and queer theory have contributed fruitfully to the denaturalisation of heterosexuality, but have also gained a monopoly of telling stories which are neither necessarily productive in terms of the scientific integrity nor no longer helpful for people in general. The article puts forward a critique of these scientific tales, among others the work of Judith Butler, as contributing to a rather monolithic concep- tualisation focusing on heterosexuality as on- ly a ‘discourse’, an ‘institution’, an ‘identity’ or a ‘norm’. Moreover, by constructing a new binary between ‘queer’ and ‘normal’, queer theory fails to transgress the logics and con- cepts of dichotomies and identity. The article argues that people in late modern Denmark in fact no longer strictly conforms to a hete- rosexual norm and therefore, it alternatively suggests a tale of heterosexuality as ‘a tribe or community of taste’ inspired by the sociolo- gists Michel Maffesoli and Henning Bech, addressing perspectives and categories such as lust, taste, aesthetics, sociality, sensation and emotions. This new tale is not intended to re- place post-structuralism or queer theory, but as both an adequate and a very productive qualified tale, it should be supplementary in respect of the fact that heterosexuality is a multifarious phenomenon which must be studied from various angles in different con- texts.
Homoseksuelles medborgerskab i et retfærdigheds- perspektiv
Authors: Stormhøj Christel
Published: August 2018

The article discusses homosexuals’ citizenship in Denmark within a social justice perspective and raises doubt about the society’s sexual permissiveness and equality. Drawing on theories of citizenship and social justice, it establishes an analytical and normative framework for a just sexual citizenship based on the norm of participatory parity. Highlighting several institutional barriers for a just sexual citizenship, alongside their intertwinements, it argues for the need for changing the sexual status order and for linking economic, cultural and political remedies for injustice.
Skuespillerfaget som lønarbejde og kønskonstruktion
Authors: Sjørup Karen , Kirkegaard Charlotte
Published: August 2018

The article is based on a survey concerning gender equality among artists in Denmark, conducted in 2007. It particularly focuses on the situation of actresses as modern, well-educated and gender equality conscious women, placed in a dilemma between their own desire to deconstruct and reconstruct images of gender in their work and the traditional, gender-stereotypical roles offered to them. They moreover are the victims of late working hours and low salaries, making it very difficult to maintain themselves financially and to live a life as independent working mothers. Ageing is also a very difficult bodily experience for the actresses, who will often be excluded and replaced by younger actresses. There is however a battle going on between the gender equality oriented actresses and the primarily male directors and instructors, in charge of allowing modernisation of gender roles in films and theatre. In sum, the article explores how gender is constructed culturally and how femininity might be reformulated to challenge heteronormative gender stereotypes.
European Whiteness? A Critical Approach
Authors: Blaagaard Bolette B.
Published: August 2018

Born out of the United States' (U.S.) history of slavery and segregation and intertwined EUROPEAN WHITENESS? 21 with gender studies and feminism, the field of critical whiteness studies does not fit easily into a European setting and the particular historical context that entails. In order for a field of European critical whiteness studies to emerge, its relation to the U.S. theoretical framework, as well as the particularities of the European context need to be taken into account. The article makes a call for a multilayered approach to take over from the identity politics so often employed in the fields of U.S. gender, race, and whiteness studies.

"Man kan da ikke sidde rundt om et bord og diskutere løntillæg" - ligeløn, kultur og åbenhed
Authors: Reinicke Kenneth
Published: August 2018

“You can’t sit around a table and discuss salary” – Pay equity, culture and openness There is a tendency to apply the traditional instruments and strategies when the question of equal pay is on the agenda and equal pay discussions often develop into a “game” about figures and statistics. The article criticise the Danish Wage Commission for only providing an overall picture of the existing wage differences between men and women instead of putting an effort in disseminating knowledge and raise consciousness about hidden, gender-based wage discrepancies. Based upon findings from an EU project this article discusses if the current trend to- wards a more decentralised, individualised and performance related wage system in the public sector is problematic seen from the gen- der perspective? This question is getting more urgent because a larger part of the total wage sum in the future may be going to be negotiated in local settings.
Nye styringsformer og anerkendelseskamp - den vrede hjemmehjælper?
Authors: Dahl Hanne Marlene
Published: August 2018

New forms of Governance and Struggles about Recognition – the angry Home Helper? Struggles about recognition of care have evolved during the last decade in Western Europe. In Denmark struggles can be found within the field of elderly care and publicly employed home helpers. This mobilization seems to be related to the prevalence of a new form of governance, New Public Manage- ment (NPM), and is investigated from a top-down and a bottom-up perspective. A discourse analysis of political-administrative texts show a NPM inspired discourse that si- lences the qualifications of home helpers and reproduces misrecognition of care. Focus group interviews show that home helpers employ three different strategies towards this form of governance: the sweet, caring by the book and the professional home helper.
Au pair-strategier i danske familier - privat husarbejder eller maternalistisk mikrostyring
Authors: Stenum Helle
Published: August 2018

Au pair strategies in Danish host families – private domestic worker or maternalistic micro-management The concept of au pair is highly gendered, as it is historically rooted in a mixture of domestic work, family control and cultural education. The au pair system is a managed migration arrangement which has undergone a rather overlooked development in Scandinavia in recent years.In this article the aim is to shed light on rationalities and subjectivities performed in strategies characterizing the relations between au pair employer and employee in the private space of the family household. Based on an empirical study conducted in 2007/2008 including interviews with au pairs and host families in Denmark, the relation between the au pair and the host family is analysed as gendered house work typically organised as a female-to-female relationship between the extra EU, ethnical minoritized, temporary migrant woman and the Danish, ethnical majoritized citizen.
Guldpiger og Teknikdrenge – køn i teknisk skole og dets konsekvenser
Authors: Malthesen Tea , Sørensen Rikke
Published: August 2018

The article shows how gender works as an unnoticed principle of organization at a Danish technical school. We point out how ideas of subjects studied and gender are interwoven. As a consequence of this students are given different possibilities at the technical school depending on their choice of subject and their gender mark and the way they do gender at the technical schools. These uneven possibilities can only be understood in relation to the gendered labour market.
Nødvendig – Nyttig – Rettferdig? Likestillingsargumenter i offentlig debatt
Authors: Skjeie Hege , Teigen Mari
Published: August 2018

This article discusses the steadily stronger emphasize on diversity arguments which underscore ‘gender difference’ and diversity’s ‘utility’ as arguments in support of gender equality in Norwegian public debate. In both party political, femocratic and media mediated debates on gender equality, rights-based justifications seem largely to be replaced by a discourse prioritizing utility/profitability arguments. The article provides a series of examples of these strands of arguments in support of gender equality policies, and outlines a set of normative problems connected with the mixture of gender difference and utility based justifications. In contrast, we argue that comprehensions of ‘gender equality’ rather must be based on a principle of rights where understandings of gender differences are restricted to conditions for access: ‘an equal right to equal participation’. This discussion is supplemented with an analysis of attitudinal data from two surveys conducted as part of the Norwegian Power and Democracy Study (1998-2003), a large scale Elite Survey and a corresponding omnibus. One set of questions in both of these surveys asks people how they prioritize between different types of arguments in support of gender equality. The analysis indicates that the ‘diversity pays’ line of argumentation combined with a ‘rhetoric of difference’ mainly receives support on elite levels of Norwegian society.
Hverken lighed eller anerkendelse? Kvinder, mænd og skattelovgivning i Danmark
Authors: Ravn Anna-Birte
Published: August 2018

Taking its point of departure in Nancy Fraser’s redistribution-recognition dilemma, the article analyses the gendered impact of the Danish tax system 1903-83 and the debates over reform of the system during the formative years of the Danish welfare state, i.e. in the 1950s and 1960s. The author shows how tax laws since the early 20th century contributed to constructing a male breadwinner/female housewife family norm and how the female opponents of the gendered tax system – organized in the Danish Women’s Society, the National Council of Women in Denmark, Social Democratic Women’s Committees and the Federation of Danish Trade Unions – were caught in a dilemma between socio-economic redistribution in favour of labouring married women on one side and cultural recognition of women’s housework on the other.
Nancy Fraser i kritikkens landskap
Authors: Holst Cathrine
Published: August 2018

In part I of the article I introduce six different notions of social critique. In part II I connect positions in feminist theory to these notions of critique. Part III is a discussion of Nancy Fraser’s notion of critique. I argue that Fraser lately has defended feminist critique as a social critique in need of moralphilosphical justification, whereas she previously argued for ‘social criticism without philosphy’. In the latter part of the article I elaborate a few implications of Fraser’s shift.

Med Kvinderne til velfærdsstaten - Kvindeorganisering i Danmark 1920-1940
Authors: Christensen Hilda Rømer
Published: August 2018

The article deals with womens organized contribution to the making of the Danish Welfare State during the interwar period. It is argued that women contributed substantially to the debate and the level of decision making. Women's contributions are traced both at the local and at the national levels and documentation derives from a wide range of associations: From conservative, religious ones such at the YWCA to the radical: The Working Women's Association. In the absence of a strong Social-Democratic women's association, the womens rights movement, The Danish Women's Society, became the nexus for a strong coalition of elite women, a networking female elite, with different political backgrounds. They consolidated a longstanding pattern for cooperation among organized women, which also remained in the period after 1945. The stress in this women's rights community was laid in equality measures, which constituted women as individuals with equal rights rather than as gendered persons and in their capacity as mothers and wives.
Uppmärksamhed - Kan Simone Weil bidra till feministisk etik?
Authors: Holm Ulla
Published: August 2018

Simone Weil was certainly no feminist. Still her concept of attention may be helpful for feminists who want to go beyond some current orthodoxies, on the one hand modern theoretical-juridical models of ethics and on the other an impasse in feminist ethics between gynocentric and humanist ethical approaches where such phenomena as care and justice risk to become opposites. These phenomena need alternative moral understandings or frameworks and Weil provides at least a beginning to an open-ended alternative. The genesis of her concept of attention is traced from a material grounding and focus on natural necessities to her mature conceptual ecology and focus on normative necessities in human relations and in the very concept of a human being. An attentive mind can discern this normativity and allow refletion to move beyond partial perspectives. In suh a conception justice and care are not opposites, but rather presuppose each other.
Sexualitet og imperialisme
Authors: Kledal Anna Rebecca
Published: August 2018

The article deals with the construction of gender and sexuality in the colonial discourse. It is argued that sexuality is an important key to analysing relations between Europeans and non-Europeans, since sexuality was an area of institutionalization by the imperial administration. By deconstructing Western European imperialism, it is possible to identify many different, emerging discourses and the complex dependency between Western Europeans and non-Europeans.
Gendering Low-Carbon Life among Retirees in Urban China
Authors: Blichfeldt Nikolaj Vendelbo
Published: August 2018

The aim of this article is to examine how questions related to age and gender become articulated in a climate change mitigation campaign based in an urban residential community in Hangzhou in eastern China. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in the community, the article presents a case study of this campaign. A group of community officials and retired residents are promoting ‘low-carbon life’, their aim being to alter a range of everyday consumption practices. During the campaign, a handful of retired women emerged as campaign role models and leaders of campaign activities, as well as producing ‘low-carbon handicrafts’ made from reused materials. The campaigners are approaching low-carbon life as a set of enjoyable hobby-like activities where women in particular reactivate skills acquired during the Mao era, thus coming to be seen as role models by local officials and journalists. The study contributes to the emerging field of climate ethnography by illustrating how a group of Chinese citizens make sense of climate politics by recasting climate-related issues, connecting these to their everyday life concerns and engaging in practical campaign work anchored in local material culture.
Reconstituting Orders after Neo-liberalism? - The “Growth Fetish”, Gender and Environment in Sino-European Interchanges
Authors: Petersen Hanne
Published: August 2018

This article seeks to bring together aspects regarding issues of gender, legal pluralism, ecofeminism, sustainability, and globalization. I have been inspired by increasing interaction with interdisciplinary researchers in Denmark and China working on gender dynamics in a globalized and Asianized world, as well as by an interest in art as a source of understanding and expressing communal norms, values and conflicts. The article reflects upon the links between the high value of economic growth in both regions and art and artistic installations, which express increasing concern about the consequences of growth, amongst other things for economic inequality and sustainability.  Linking and assembling such critical concerns, practices and expressions might be a way of approaching a reconstitution of global and local orders, including ambivalent and uncertain gender orders in the near future.
Moren er Død, Moren, Leve...
Authors: Nebeling Michael
Published: August 2018

Gay men are carrying a history as being suspected as potential pedophiles and non-suited parents, and while the reproductive technology of transnational gestational surrogacy makes it possible for gay men to become parents within heteronormative logics, the constructions of families without a mother are looked upon as problematic at best. Through field observations and interviews with gay men, who have been or who are involved in transnational surrogacy I explore how gay men fragmentize the notion of the mother in to several positions. The article argues that the gay men are reproductive vulnerable and are negotiating and fighting for the possibility to become legible as parents inside a heteronormative and homophobic framework. This relies on their ability to diminish the mother. By activating and using misogynic and colonial discourses and strategies, the gay men eradicate the kinship positions of the surrogate and the donor, thus giving discursive and affective life to gay men’s possibility to embody motherhood and parenthood.
Kunst, køn og nekropolitik
Authors: Frantzen Mikkel Krause
Published: August 2018

The concept of necropolitics, launched by Achille Mbembe in 2003, has had an increasing influence within various disciplines but not within arts, aesthetics and cultural studies. This is the point of departure for my article, which simply wants to address the following questions:What does a contemporary necropolitical art look like? My exemplary case is Mexican artist Teresa Margolles. In her work Lote Bravo (2005) she deals explicitly with a feminicidio that ‘officially’ began in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, in 1993 (since then the killings of women have not only continued but spread to the rest of the country). It is tragically clear that these killings of young women crystallize a cruel combination of capitalism, gender and death. Using spatiality, mediality and affectivity as a conceptual triad for analyzing this particular work and drawing upon the thinking of Judith Butler, I will show how Margolles re-frames (the representation of) the tragic event, which is what enables an aesthetic production of grief with real political effects.
More than "Add Women and Stir" - A Conversation with Karen Klitgaard Povlsen
Authors: Kjær Katrine Meldgaard , Leer Jonatan
Published: August 2018

More Than ‘Add Women and Stir’ – A Conversation with Carole Counihan.Food studies and the study of food and gender have been particularly strong scholarly currents in the US. Here, anthropologist Carole Counihan was one of the first scholars to work with the food-gender intersection. Over the past four decades, she has continued to work with the area in an array of different contexts. In this interview, Counihan describes how she has worked with the gendering of food culture. Along the way, she also offers her perspectives on working in changing academic environments and shares her suggestions for future areas of research.
Food, Gender and Media - the Trinity of Bad Taste: A Conversation with Karen Klitgaard Povlsen
Authors: Leer Jonatan , Kjær Katrine Meldgaard
Published: August 2018

Food, Gender and Media – the Trinity of Bad Taste:Since she began working in the field in the mid-1980s, associate professor in media studies at Aarhus University Karen Klitgaard Povlsen has been one of most important scholars in the field of cultural food studies in Denmark. She is particularly interested in food in relation to gender and media, and has published widely on the subject. In this interview, she provides a Danish perspectiveon the study of food and gender, including a brief history of the area and her thoughts on its current status and potentials. Povlsen argues that while gender studies do not enjoy the same prominence today as they did in the 1970s and 1980s, food studies has gained terrain and offers new ways of doing innovative, intersectional analyses of identity and everyday life in contemporarymediatized societies.
Class, Mothering and the Values of Food
Authors: Aamann Iben Charlotte
Published: August 2018

Class, Mothering and the Values of Food:The data analysed in this empirical paper stems from ethnographic fieldwork among new school parents at three Danish primary schools. I draw on empirically grounded theories on the cultural and subjective dimensions of class, inspired by the ‘English School’ of poststructuralist informed, feminist scholars, to explore how class matters. Using the values ascribed to food at social arrangements as a lens, I explore different ways of doing class and mothering: through the exchange values of the food, through its use value and through its healthiness. I conclude by arguingthat food studies hold a huge potential for the development of empirically grounded theories on class in Scandinavian society, where class hitherto has been ascribed as a thing of the past.
Gender in Global Studies
Authors: Horn Laura
Published: August 2018

Gender constitutes a fundamental intersection of social power relations in processes of globalization. As such, it could be expected that gender should be a prominent focus in Global Studies which is concerned with issues of inequality and human progress. This article discusses how this engagement remains troubled in many regards and the possibilities for more focus on genderinto Global Studies. Specifically, the article draws on the experience of teaching an intensive course on ‘Gendering Global Studies’ and discusses the pedagogy of teaching gender and the various challenges arising from this. Specific attention is given to the attempt to establish an inclusive learning environment; a balancing of a wide range of perspectives, particularly masculinitiesresearch and a strong conceptual focus on intersectionality; and a discussion of how a gender focus impacts on method and research practice. The article contributes to overall discussions about the nature of Global Studies; but more importantly it also seeks to highlight some of the ongoing challenges and opportunities in gender teaching in social sciences, and to offer concretesuggestions and pathways for bringing in a gender focus into Global Studies teaching.
Promoting Gender Sensitivity in Social Work
Authors: Henriksen Ann-Karina
Published: August 2018

The article reflects on teaching gender theory to students who are not enrolled in a gender programme. It argues that learning can be facilitated to social work students by tapping into their own gendered experiences and by linking gender to wider concerns about social inequality. The article draws on personal notes from teaching gender and social diversity to social work students. In this context, two main obstacles are identified: anti-feminism and individualization. Theseobstacles can be addressed productively. First by bringing students’ gendered experiences and social categorisations into play, and second, by demonstrating how social problems are shaped by gender structures and unequal power relations.
High Heels and High Expectations: Feminist Teaching in a Neoliberalist University
Authors: Penttinen Elina , Jyrkinen Marjut
Published: August 2018

This study aims to examine the suitability of feminist student-centred active learning pedagogy in large-scale classroom settings in a contemporary neoliberalist university context. In the current individualist culture in the academia where students implicitly have adopted a customer-like mind-set, they need to be rational in terms of what they study and how they use their time. Weargue that feminist values are what makes student-centred active learning successful and will enhance the academic expertise of students. However, the values of inclusiveness, low-hierarchy, co-construction of knowledge, and empowerment of feminist pedagogy need to be revisited in the contemporary context. Low-hierarchy may signal to students that they have the ‘upper’hand. Instead of engaging actively in the classroom, they challenge the course content and pedagogical practices. On the basis of our case study data, we claim that this attitude is inherently gendered. Thus, paradoxically, teachers in feminist classrooms need to be careful about the role of ‘service provider’ and assume more assertive leadership roles in order to ensure successful learning outcomes.
Konceptuel imperialisme og engageret sympati i forskning om kvindelige sexsælgere
Authors: Bjønness Jeanett
Published: August 2018

Conceptual imperialism and engaged sympathy in research on female sex-sellers: This paper investigates academic knowledge production on sex-sellers’ everyday life and strategies. Methodological discussions are first contextualized in public discourse on prostitution in Denmark characterized by a highly polarized debate often opposing ‘the victim’ to ‘the autonomous individual’ and second in the researcher’s autobiography. The paper discusses how the researcher’s ownclassed and gendered experiences affect the ethnographic research process. Does attempted identification with informants sometimes obscure valuable knowledge? Does it even sometimes lead to unintended kinds of ‘othering’ or ‘epistemological imperialism’? The paper builds on data from long term fieldwork in a drop-in center for marginalized Danish women, life history interviews, and a critical reading of contemporary debates on prostitution in Denmark.
Sekularitet - förstahet genom religion och kön
Authors: Berg Linda , Lundahl Mikela , Martinsson Lena
Published: August 2018

Secularities – firstness through religion and gender In this article we explore how positing religion as other simultaneously makes secularism a firstness. How is secularism embodied and reproduced as an objective and neutral space – a firstness. The secular subject is often represented as free and rational in contrast to an imagined religious, traditional, and often Muslim other. By studying Swedish contemporary debates about freedom of speech, veils, gender equality, and the in/tolerant society, we aim to unpack how secularism is done in a Swedish neoliberal contemporary context. Inspired by anthropologist of secularism, Talal Asad, we wish to contribute to the undermining of the tightly knit weave of secularism, reason and critique in Western discourse.
Smerte kræver øvelse. En undersøgelse af smerte, body suspension og førstehed
Authors: Mortensen Maria
Published: August 2018

Pain takes practice. A study of pain, body suspension and Firstness. This study examines the Firstness of pain as an understanding of pain as isolating and destructive, as well as entering the debate about the lack of intentionality of pain. In the article I draw on two empirical examples from fieldwork conducted at body suspension events in Copenhagen in 2014/2015. Throughout the article I apply a theoretical framework from the field of affect theory and new materialisms, in the form of Sara Ahmed and Robin Bauer. The analyses of the empirical examples show how pain can work as a way of diverting attentiveness from the bodies surrounding the body in pain, as well as creating transgressive bodies, which exceeds the singular body in pain. I hereby argue that the object of pain should not be limited to the singular body. Instead we must understand the object of pain, as well as the body in pain, as multiple and situational. Pain works both inside bodies, outside bodies and between bodies.
Hvid mælk - om racialisering af mælk og laktoseintolerans i forbindelse med transnational adoption
Authors: Kim-Larsen Mette A. E.
Published: August 2018

White Milk. In Denmark, ‘lactose intolerance’ refers to a medical diagnosis and a condition where the person is unable to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products. However, 75% of the world’s population is considered lactose intolerant which raises the question: under which circumstances is lactose intolerance considered a disease in Denmark? In order to answer this question, this article examines different subjectifying processes in relation to health, race,ethnicity, and the consumption of food, and the relation of all of these factors to milk. The analysis focuses on a publication by the Danish adoption organization Adoption og Samfund (Adoption and Society), a special issue on food. Influenced by the work of Butler (1990, 2004), Omi & Winant (1986) and Myong (2009), I find that milk comes to determine whiteness and Danishness in the publication. Consequently, lactose tolerance functions as a figure for the normalizedbody belonging to the white adopter, who is framed by firstness and situated in the Global North. At the same time, lactose intolerance functions as a figure for the deviant, weak, medicalized body belonging to the adoptee of colour who is framed by otherness and situated in the Global South. Hence, drinking milk (or not) positions the subject either as part of a privileged majority or an underprivileged minority.

Online Violence in Adolescent and Young Adult Couples: The Role of Anxious Attachment and Hostile Sexism in a Dyadic Analysis
Authors: Lorente‐Anguís Antonia , del Castillo David Vilariño , Lopez‐Zafra Esther
Published: November 2024

This study explores how anxious attachment moderates the relationship between hostile sexism and online violence in adolescent and young adults' partners. Two hundred thirty heterosexual couples (total n = 460) participated in a dyadic design study. Both partners answered a questionnaire about online violence, hostile sexism, and anxious attachment. Results show that both members' hostile sexism positively correlates with the perpetration and victimization of online violence in boys and girls, but not in all the dimensions. However, actor‐hostile sexism has a greater effect on both perpetration and victimization for both members than partner‐hostile sexism, except for control perpetration and victimization of girls. Results also show that the actor‐anxious attachment positively moderated the relationship between their hostile sexism and perpetration and victimization for both members, only when it was higher than average, and negatively when it was lower. In girls, when the anxious attachment is high, the relationship between the boys' hostile sexism and the girls' direct aggression perpetration becomes weaker. The opposite occurs between the boys' hostile sexism and boys' direct aggression perpetrated when their girlfriends' anxious attachment increases. In sum, anxious attachment and hostile actor and partner sexism play an important role in online violence in adolescent couples. Therefore, the protective effect of low levels of anxious attachment should be studied among other psychosocial factors and online violence.
Why Sitting by in Cyberbullying: The Measurement and Influencing Factors of Outsider Behavior

Bystanders play an important role in cyberbullying, yet the majority of bystanders remain silent as outsiders. To date, research on the measurement and influencing factors of outsider behavior in the context of cyberbullying is lacking. This research first adapted a valid and reliable instrument to measure this construct and then examined its influencing factors based on the arousal: cost‐reward model. In Study 1, a total of 901 participants (55% female, mean age = 20.84) were randomly divided into two subsamples: one for exploratory factor analysis (n = 450) and the other for confirmatory factor analysis (n = 451). The final eight‐item measurement had good reliability and validity with a three‐factor structure of self‐disengagement, cautious avoidance, and victim blaming. Study 2 investigated the relationships among the severity of cyberbullying incidents, empathic concern, cost for help, and outsider behavior. Among 331 participants (57% female, mean age = 21.08), 168 participants were randomly assigned to the high‐severity group. Results found that the severity has indirect effects on the three outsider behavioral orientations through the empathic concern. Severity also has indirect effects on outsider behaviors of cautious avoidance and victim blaming through the influence of empathic concern on cost for help.

Objective

Venous outflow (VO) impairment predicts unfavorable outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion (AIS‐LVO). Prolonged venous transit (PVT), a visual qualitative VO marker on CT perfusion (CTP) time to maximum (Tmax) maps, has been associated with unfavorable 90‐day functional outcomes despite successful reperfusion. This study investigates the association between PVT and percent change on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) among AIS‐LVO patients who have undergone successful reperfusion.

Methods

We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from consecutive adult AIS‐LVO patients with successful reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 2b/2c/3). PVT+ was defined as Tmax ≥10 s in the superior sagittal sinus, torcula, or both. The primary outcome was continuous NIHSS percent change and dichotomous NIHSS percent change ≥70%. Regression analyses were performed to assess the effect of PVT on NIHSS percent change.

Results

In 119 patients of median (IQR) age 71 (63–81) years, the admission and discharge NIHSS scores were significantly higher in PVT+ patients compared to PVT− patients (17 [14–23.5] vs. 13 [9.5–19], p = 0.011, and 7.5 [4–12] vs. 3 [1–7], p < 0.001, respectively). After adjusting for age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, administration of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Scores (ASPECTS), mTICI 2c and/or 3, Tmax >6 s volume, and hemorrhagic transformation, PVT+ was significantly associated with lower NIHSS percent change (B = −0.163, 95%CI −0.326 to −0.001, p = 0.049) and was less likely to achieve higher than 70% NIHSS improvement (OR = 0.331, 95% CI 0.127–0.863, p = 0.024).

Interpretation

PVT+ was significantly associated with reduced neurological improvement despite successful reperfusion in AIS‐LVO patients, highlighting the critical role of VO impairment in short‐term functional outcomes. These findings further validate PVT as a valuable adjunct imaging biomarker derived from CTP for assessing VO profiles in AIS‐LVO.

The era of an energy economy driven by “carbon neutrality” is putting forward stricter requirements for the use of carbon resources and the governance of CO2. Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide reaction (CO2RR), driven by renewable energy, is a practical energy storage technology with broad application prospects. It can reduce CO2 into carbon‐based fuels and chemical products. Among them, multi‐carbon (C2+) products have higher energy density and larger market size, and can significantly reduce the global demand for fossil fuels and close the artificial carbon cycle. Introducing additional active sites into Cu‐based catalysts to prepare dual‐site tandem catalysts can regulate the electronic and geometric structure of the catalysts, break linear scale relationships, reduce reaction potential barriers, and bring superb and stable catalytic performance. Various types of dual‐site tandem catalysts are developed, and the understanding of the tandem effect is pushed to a higher level. This paper reviews several typical dual‐site tandem catalysts: atom–atom dual‐site tandem catalysts, atom‐particle dual‐site tandem catalysts, particle–particle dual‐site tandem catalysts, and heterogeneous interface dual‐site tandem catalysts. It then deeply analyzes the reaction mechanism and research progress of these advanced catalysts in CO2RR. In addition, the challenges and opportunities faced by such catalysts are also discussed.

Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) have become a promising energy storage device due to their low cost and high security. However, the severe dendrite growth and side reactions on metallic zinc (Zn) anode hamper their commercial implementation. Herein, a strongly electronegative trifluoroborate anion (─BF3−) functionalized polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAME) is well‐designed and constructed as the quasi‐solid‐state electrolyte to overcome these obstacles. The PAME chain segments terminated with strongly polar functional groups promote the conversion of water molecules from free water to bound water through the enhanced hydrogen bonding interaction to alleviate the side reactions. Furthermore, the PAME electrolyte featured with hierarchically porous structure and enhanced electrostatic interaction among the ─BF3− groups, and Zn2+ ions homogenizes the high‐flux Zn ion transport and induce the uniform deposition to restrain dendrite growth. Consequently, the assembled Zn‖PAME‖Zn batteries deliver remarkable cycling stability over 1800 h at 1 mA cm−2 and 900 h at 15 mA cm−2. Additionally, the constructed Zn‖PAME‖MnO2 full cells achieve a reversible capacity of 202 mAh g−1 at 2.0 A g−1 with a capacity retention rate of 91.4% over 500 cycles. This work sheds light on constructing the strongly polar hydrogel electrolyte to boost free‐dendrite Zn anodes for long‐lifespan AZIBs.
