Translated from Swedish by Gunnarsson.Additional informationNotes on contributorsAnna G. JónasdóttirAnna G. Jónasdóttir is professor emerita in Gender Studies at Örebro University, Sweden. Her research interests are critical analyses and constructive development of ideas in social and political theory, feminist and more generally. In particular, she considers (i) the recent emergence of serious questions and arguments in many academic disciplines about the significance of love as a social and political source of power in our time; and (ii) different understandings of power, especially the question whether/how the plural human powers/capacities fit in theoretically with common views of power.Lena GunnarssonLena Gunnarsson is Associate Professor in Gender Studies at Örebro University, Sweden. In her doctoral thesis and subsequent works she engages with Jónasdóttir’s theory of love power to further conceptualizations of the relationship between gender, power and love. She has also made interventions in the areas of feminist theory, social theory and philosophy of science, drawing on critical realist philosophy to challenge poststructuralist frameworks. Gunnarsson’s recent and current projects cover topics such as sexual consent, sugar dating and involuntary singlehood.","PeriodicalId":45485,"journal":{"name":"NORA-Nordic Journal of Feminist and Gender Research","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135855032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It contributes to current research on outsourcing social reproduction, which emphasizes the (re)privatization of public services, by situating outsourcing within the sphere of production. The analysis is based on in-depth qualitative research on employers of migrant care and domestic workers in Finland (N = 31). Developing an integrated link between migrant workers’ labour-power and employers’ labour-power, we demonstrate that the employers work a second shift of paid employment in the evening, enabled by the outsourcing of reproductive labour. We argue that outsourcing social reproduction often takes the form of purchasing inexpensive time, enabled by hiring migrant domestic workers, which those who outsource convert into productive labour-time, thereby subsidizing their own labour to increment economic value for capital. We analyse the ways in which outsourcing reproduction is organized to enhance the amount of productive social labour-time in a context where capital places increasing demands on labour.","PeriodicalId":45485,"journal":{"name":"NORA-Nordic Journal of Feminist and Gender Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135476215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This closeness can be claustrophobic for individuals who might not want to live by the accepted social norms of the community. Gossip and rumours can be used to keep such individuals in their place by enforcing social norms through social control. Shaming is crucial to this form of social control, where certain behaviour is punished and shamed through the spread of gossip. Shaming is gendered and is used more harshly against women than against men, particularly in regard to women’s behaviour in public and their sexual activity. This paper examines how gossip and shame are a part of gendered social control in small villages/towns in Iceland, and how it affects young women’s lives. The discussion here is based on interviews about gossip with young Icelandic women who either live in or come from small fishing villages. The main themes that were constructed from the analysis were the social control of women through shaming, reputation, and slut-shaming. The analysis shows that slut-shaming and the fear of shame control women’s behaviour and sexual activities.","PeriodicalId":45485,"journal":{"name":"NORA-Nordic Journal of Feminist and Gender Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48423187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This compilation of articles reflects the diversity of the fields of feminist and gender research in the Nordic countries. In Jennifer Hobbins, Elsa Kristiansen & Eric Carlström’s article Women, Leadership, and Change —Navigating between Contradictory Cultures the focus is on how women in leader positions navigate between two often dichotomous cultures, “cultures of masculine leadership ideals and societal expectations of femininity”. To illuminate the women’s experience of these positionings through changes over time, data were collected via working life biographical interviews with five women who held top leadership positions in Nordic emergency and crisis management sectors. Focusing on the tensions between the masculine and feminine expectations, the authors found that the women leaders developed throughout their careers and found ways to perform gender outside of the “homosocial norm”. In “Following the Views of Young Former Conservative Laestadian Women on Reproductive Freedom, Procreational Ethos, and Pronatalist Politics”, Teija Rantala discusses norms regarding reproductive practices as shaped by Laestadianism. Conservative Laestadians are a religious movement that holds some prominence in the Sápmi area in Northern Scandinavia. The movement endorses conservative and patriarchal values, with a heavy emphasis on motherhood. Rantala examines the views of five young women previously involved in the Conservative Laestadian movement, especially their views on reproductive freedom and the procreational politics of the movement. She considers their perception of the Laestadian procreational ethos and connections to nationalist and global pronatalist interests. Kaisu Hynnä-Granberg‘s article “Enduring Emotions. Fat Time and Weight Loss in the Finnish Body Positive Podcasts Jenny and the Fat Myth Busters and The Soft“is an analysis of two Finnish body positive podcasts: Jenny and the Fat Myth Busters and The Soft. The article explores the notion of fat time, or fat temporality, building on the notion of queer time. Hynnä-Granberg specifically looks at stories of weight-loss, associated emotions discussed in the two podcasts, and introduces the concept of “ugly feelings that stay”, with the aim of increasing understanding within fat studies and feminist studes of the relation of people of different sizes to body positivity. Carola Maria Wide’s “’Grandmas Do Worse:’ The Kristevan Feminine in Contemporary Versions of Little Red Riding Hood” (LRRH) seeks to explore “intergenerational female relationships through Kristeva’s work on daughtering and the role of the feminine. Through providing an alternative reading on multigenerational feminine relationships, Wide’s article engages with “the feminine dimensions","PeriodicalId":45485,"journal":{"name":"NORA-Nordic Journal of Feminist and Gender Research","volume":"31 1","pages":"207 - 208"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41983233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
