More info about the book:
Westerners ‘know’ Palestine through images of war and people in immediate distress. Yet this focus has as its consequence that other, less spectacular stories of daily distress are rarely told. Those seldom noticed are the women behind the men who engage in armed resistance against the military occupation: wives of the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention and the widows of the martyrs. In Palestine, being related to a detainee serving a sentence for participation in the resistance activities against Israel is a source of pride. Consequently, the wives of detainees are expected to sustain these relationships through steadfast endurance, no matter the effects upon the marriage or family. Often people, media, and academic studies address the dramatic violence and direct affliction of the Palestinians. Lotte Buch Segal takes a different approach, and offers a glimpse of the lives, and the contradictory emotions, of the families of both detainees and martyrs through an in-depth ethnographic investigation.

No Place for Grief asks us to think about what it means to grieve when that which is grieved does not lend itself to a language of loss and mourning. What does it mean to “endure” when ordinary life is engulfed by the emotional labor required to withstand the pressures placed on Palestinian families by sustained imprisonment and bereavement? Despite an elaborate repertoire of narrative styles, laments, poetry, and performance of bodily gestures through which mourning can be articulated, including the mourning tied to a political cause, Buch Segal contends that these forms of expression are inadequate to the sorrow endured by detainees’ wives. No Place for Grief reveals a new language that describes the entanglement of absence and intimacy, endurance and everyday life, and advances an understanding of loss, mourning, and grief in contemporary Palestine.

Lotte Buch Segal teaches anthropology at the University of Copenhagen.

BEYOND CULTURAL RACISM: CHALLENGES FOR AN ANTI-RACIST SEX EDUCATION

Senior Lecturer Anna Bredström

The paper analyses sexual educational material in Sweden that aspires to a ‘norm critical’ agenda, i.e. which explicitly seeks to challenge norms regarding gender, sexuality, able- bodyness, race and ethnicity. Our analysis is interested in the ways the material attempts to move beyond racialised notions of immutable cultural differences. We argue that while the material avoids reproducing stereotypes, it fails to develop an alternative way of conceptualising culture and its importance for sexuality. It also falls prey to a liberal discourse in its attempt to bridge differences by aspiring to universal rights. A more fruitful alternative, we suggest, would be to turn to a transversal politics so as to develop a sex education that can accommodate conflicting values, yet treat culture in a non-essentialist way.

Lancering af Genre – Tidsskriftet Antropologis temanummer

I anledning af lanceringen af temanummeret om Genre, inviterer Tidsskriftet Antropologi til et åbent arrangement med talere fra redaktionen og forfatterene.

Det spændende program bliver moderet af Lotte Buch Segal fra KU:
– Velkomst: Jørgen Skrubbeltrang fra temaredaktionen
– (I og om) Fletværk: Jon Dag Rasmussen og Naja Dahlstrup Mogensen, AAU
– Multigrafi og det multigrafiske projekt: Perle Møhl, KU
– Utopia – Kort kollektive feltarbejde: Cecilie Jessen Hansen og Anders Blok, KU
– Afslutning: Inger Sjørslev, KU

Til sidst vil der være god tid til diskussion mellem oplægsholderne og publikum. Efter oplæg og diskussion byder Antropologforeningen som altid på forfriskninger.


Inspirationen til nummeret kommer fra MEGA-seminaret i 2015 , hvor arrangørerne slog et slag for en debat af antropologiske genreeksperimenter under rubrikken ‘alvorlig leg’. Målet for “Genre” er at fortsætte den ”alvorlige leg” med praksis og fremstilling. Nummeret vil derfor være en platform for forsøg med og refleksioner over nye etnografiske metoder og eksperimenterende fremstillingspraksis.

Temaredaktion: Jørgen Skrubbeltrang, My Madsen, Inger Sjørslev, Lotte Buch, Perle Møhl
