131	Decolonising the figure of Sophie : a Fanonian analysis of Mary Sibande’s contemporary visual artworks Nkosinkulu, Zingisa 12 1900 (has links) My study is a theoretical intervention of the South African contemporary visual art of Mary Sibande. It focuses on the figure of Sophie representing the maid in three series; namely, Sophie-Elsie, Sophie-Merica, and Sophie-Velucia. The study applies Frantz Fanon’s thought to the understanding of the figure of Sophie while emphasising the themes of naming, the human subject, and presence-absence. The theoretical framework of this thesis is a decolonial epistemic theory, which is used as a lens to understand Fanon’s political thoughts. I argue that the themes of naming, human subject, and presenceabsence are inherent in Fanon’s thought. These thematic areas give a better understanding of the existential questions of the figure of Sophie in the antiblack Manichean world. It is important to unpack the figure of Sophie as a Manichean figure who represents the crossing of two different worlds – the white world and the black world, Africa and Europe. The study highlights the importance and relevance of reviving Fanon’s thought concerning decolonial contemporary African art and establishing other tools of interpretation necessary to understand decolonial aestheSis. The thrust of this thesis is to deploy decolonial epistemic theory as a theoretical framework to the Fanonian understanding of the figure of the three Sophies that embody the modern/colonial predicament of the figure of the maid and blackness. / Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology / Ph.

133	I learn where I am : Decolonial exploration of institutional responses to diversity in Swedish universities Della Rosa, Asia January 2021 (has links) The work presented aims to analyse the dynamics of power and inequality within the Swedish academic space, and to do so considers the growing diversity of the Swedish academic composition, in the light of increasing internationalisation and a more recent commodification of higher education (HE). Through a critical discourse analysis of official documents published by the five largest Swedish universities, concerning internationalisation-oriented strategies, documents promoting equal opportunities and guidelines governing discrimination, I reflect on the spaces reserved for concepts such as diversity, interculturality and equal opportunities. To do so, I align myself with a decolonial approach, which questions places of epistemic enunciation, revealing inherent power dynamics represented by coloniality. I intend to argue that a decolonial perspective provides me with the lenses through which to analyse the power structures that still foster a colonial attitude in Swedish academia. The increasing internationalisation of Swedish universities and the way in which this internationalisation it is presented are, in my opinion, in tension with current policies that encourage and monitor equal opportunities. While on the one hand there is a tendency to build an increasingly international, global, and diverse university, on the other hand there is a lack of attention to diversity itself, to inequalities, equal opportunities, and potential discriminations. This tension helps to produce and reproduce power dynamics within the academic context, where the potentially global university does not invest enough resources in recognising and critically naming the differences that, even when unnamed, exist between all those who occupy the physical academic space. This tendency, I intend to argue here, is to be understood in the light of Swedish twofold tendency: on the one hand, a type of hegemonic feminism based on whiteness, heteronormativity and marginalisation of the other is produced and reproduced; on the other hand, such feminism, which proposes itself as the bearer of universal equal opportunities, contributes to the exclusion of other pluriversal subjectivities, excluded because they are racialised and do not belong to the nation-state in the strict sense - to which such feminism is in its nature closely linked.

134	Wait here and be grateful - The illusion of colonial hospitality and the decolonial resistance of asylum seekers in the Netherlands van Schaik, Valerie January 2023 (has links) This thesis addresses the pervasive influence of coloniality in the lived experiences of asylum seekers in the Netherlands. Based in intersectional and decolonial feminist theories and methodology, my aim was to centre the silenced narratives of this marginalised group. By highlighting the conditional nature of hospitality, which perpetuates the asymmetrical power imbalance between the superior ‘host’ and inferior ‘guest’, the aim was to show how coloniality impacts the social and ethical dimension of the lives of asylum seekers in the Netherlands. Simultaneously, I tried, together with the research participants, to find decolonial options to resist this coloniality, while proposing alternatives for a more humane and equitable decolonial otherwise. After conducting conversations with six asylum seeker men, I found that they face multiple colonial encounters on a daily basis, presenting in exclusionary patterns of racialization and victimisation, systems of control that erode their agency, while leaving them in a liminal state of uncertainty. With the use of thematic analysis, I concluded that decolonial resistance against this means the right to speak out, the right to refuse assimilation and the establishment of community that is grounded in relationality and pluriversality, rejecting the conditional nature of the existing colonial system, while welcoming everybody not as just guests, but as full members who are capable of co-creating a better, hospitable society and decolonial future.

136	Surrogatmodern och den mänskliga värdigheten : En diskursanalys av den statliga utredningen om surrogatmoderskap, ur ett kritiskt postkolonialt feministiskt perspektiv Zanzi Ferrando, Diana January 2019 (has links) Uppsatsen undersöker hur ”SOU 2016:11 Olika vägar till föräldraskap” formulerar problemet med surrogatmoderskap, vilka subjektspositioner som kan urskiljas i utredningen och analyserar den ut ett kritiskt postkolonialt feministiskt perspektiv. Utredningen utgår ifrån mänsklig värdighet, autonomi och barnets bästa vilket uppsatsen belyser får konsekvenser för hur problemet med surrogatarrangemang porträtteras olika beroende på om surrogatmodern och barnet är från det globala syd eller det globala nord. Utgångspunkterna är centrala när surrogatmodern och barnet från det globala nord lyfts men får inte samma roll gällande surrogatmodern och det barn hon föder. Vidare undersöks hur subjektspositioner formuleras utifrån emotionell/icke-emotionell, sårbar/icke-sårbar, skyddsvärd/icke-skyddsvärd och blottlägger hur den svenska surrogatmodern och det inrikesfödda barnet konstrueras som emotionella, sårbara och skyddsvärda vilket skiljer sig från hur den utländska surrogatmodern och det utrikesfödda barnet konstrueras. Dessa omges att tystnad vilket får konsekvenser för hur de porträtteras och för vilka åtgärder som föreslås. Uppsatsen bidrar till en utveckling av tidigare forskning med ett tillägg av nyckelordet skyddsvärd för att undersöka konstrueringen av surrogatmödrar. Uppsatsen visar att begreppet är relevant genom att materialet visat på delvis konstuering av emotionell och sårbar men inte skyddsvärd och att detta påverkat resultat och åtgärder. Vidare stärker uppsatsen tidigare forskning som menar att utgångspunkten mänsklig värdighet verkar för en avhumanisering av surrogatmödrar från det globala syd samt att synen på biologi varierar beroende på var ett barn föds. Uppsatsen bygger vidare på tidigare forskning som menar att uttryckt rationalitet och brist på emotion resulterar i en avhumanisering, genom att blottlägga hur det kan räcka med att subjektspositionerna möts av tysthet för att uppnå samma resultat. Detta arbete belyser hur olika subjektspositioner framställs olika i den statliga utredningen och hur koloniala idéer hänger kvar och påverkar underlag till svensk lagstiftning, samt blottlägger vilka konkreta konsekvenser detta kan få för lagförslag och för surrogatmödrar i det globala syd samt de barn de föder. surrogacy surrogate Commissioning Parents pregnancy pride gay rights gay Deepak Deomampo Gondouin Gupta Lugones Mendes Lau Wilson Bacchi WPR Bauman Goodwin Mills Lewis Chavez Sittirak adoption structural adjustment program sap population control pregnant surrogate mother the coloniality of power pregnancy risks fertility tourism parental order surrogacy arrangements pregnancy risk intended mother assisted reproductive technologies surrogat surrogatmödraskap SOU 2016:11 avreglering fertilitet Insemination IVF provrörsbefruktning donator spermdonator biologiska barn infertilitet Assisterad befruktning livmoder mamma mamma barn barnlöshet ofrivillig barnlöshet pride Deepak Deomampo Gondouin Gupta Lugones Mendes Lau Wilson Bacchi WPR Bauman Goodwin Mills Lewis Chavez Sittirak surrogatmödrarna de nya surrogatmödrarna sexuella övergrepp mot barn barn barnkonventionen europakonventionen eu konstruering diskurs tilltänkta föräldrar surrogatmor surrogatmamma biologiskt band svensk exceptionalism fertilitet adoption klass ras etnicitet kön stratifierad reproduktion fertilitetsturism sap Sexindustri sexturism Malthusianism strukturer värdmödraskap moderskap maktförhållanden makt värderingar mäns våld mot kvinnor kritiskt kritik kritiskt postkolonialt perspektiv perspektiv feministiskt perspektiv reproduktiv hälsa mödraskap varat och varan barns rättigheter föräldraskap hälsa kvinnors hälsa barnets bästa kommersialisering kvinnors rättigheter Olika vägar till föräldraskap altruistiskt surrogatmödraskap fritt val det fria valet frihet surrogatmoderskap utredning mänsklig värdighet mänskliga rättigheter den mänskliga värdigheten kommersiellt surrogatmödraskap altruistiskt surrogatmoderskap sexuella övergrepp handel med barn barnhandel statlig utredning värdmoderskap feminism feministisk teori postkolonial postkolonial teori rasism jämställdhet sexuella rättigheter tredje världen utvecklingsstudier utveckling livmoder livmodershyra hyra livmoder rätt till sin kropp reproduktiva organ reproduktiva rättigheter graviditet riskfylld graviditet exploatering sexuell exploatering globala syd globala nord emotionalitet subjektsposition lagstiftning koloniala idéer kolonialism vientre de alquiler Political Science Statsvetenskap
