Denna avhandling undersöker hur legitimiteten i Europeiska Unionens (EU) stöd för LGBTIQ-jämlikhet bör bedömas och hävdas mot bakgrund av ytterhögerns främjande av en konkurrerande vision för europeiskt samarbete som är rotad i anti-genderpolitik. Med utgångspunkt i agonistisk och queer-teori konceptualiseras EU:s stöd för LGBTIQ-jämlikhet som ett försök att skapa en europeisk pro-LGBTIQ-konsensusThis dissertation examines how the legitimacy of the European Union’s (EU) support for LGBTIQ equality should be assessed and asserted amid the far right’s promotion of a rival vision for European cooperation rooted in anti-gender politics. Drawing on agonistic and queer theory, the EU’s support for LGBTIQ equality is conceptualised as an effort to forge a European pro-LGBTIQ consensus, termed sex

Accounts given by former prisoners of Nazi concentration camps bear witness to the ubiquity of same-sex sexual activity in the camps, both consensual and non-consensual.

This dissertation explores the intimate relationship between irony and romantic subjectivity, by drawing on feminist psychoanalytical theory, via an examination of the shiftings of irony, and humor, in the works of the Swedish romanticist P. D. A. Atterbom (1790–1855). It looks at the critical role played by irony in the formation of Romantic subjectivity, and explores irony’s potential to undermi

Abstract in French:Au cours des dernières décennies, les études alévies se sont affirmées comme un champ interdisciplinaire, à la croisée de l’histoire, de l’anthropologie, de la sociologie, des sciences politiques et des sciences des religions. Si cette consolidation institutionnelle et académique représente une avancée majeure, certains aspects clés de l’histoire alévie restent sujets à débat, eOver recent decades, Alevi Studies has emerged as an interdisciplinary field drawing on history, anthropology, sociology, political science, and religious studies. While this institutional and scholarly consolidation marks significant progress, key aspects of Alevi history remain contested, particularly interpretations shaped by early 20th-century nation-building paradigms. Dominant binaries such

Reading engagement is widely recognised as critical for literacy development, yet its dynamic nature poses challenges for empirical analysis. This study examines reading engagement as a situated event within shared reading (SR) sessions involving 40 students, organised into four groups, in vocational upper-secondary education. The data consists of two video-recorded SR sessions per group, resultin

This study examines how environmental risk factors for assault are expressed across cities and demographic groups, using risk terrain modeling (RTM) applied to ten Swedish cities. The analyses identify recurrent environmental features, such as convenience stores, bus stops, restaurants that frequently concentrate assault risk. However, the magnitude, mechanisms, and spatial reach of these associat
