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

Program info: MISTRUST: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC THEORY

16.00-16.05 Welcome from Antropologforeningen’s chairman Thomas Hughes

More info about the book:
Trust occupies a unique place in contemporary discourse. Seen as both necessary and virtuous, it is variously depicted as enhancing the social fabric, lowering crime rates, increasing happiness, and generating prosperity. It allows for complex political systems, permits human communication, underpins financial instruments and economic institutions, and generally holds society together. Against these overwhelmingly laudable qualities, mistrust often goes unnoticed as a positive social phenomenon, treated as little more than a corrosive absence, a mere negative of trust itself. With this book, Matthew Carey proposes an ethnographic and conceptual exploration of mistrust that raises it up as legitimate stance in its own right.
While mistrust can quickly ruin relationships and even dissolve extensive social ties, Carey shows that it might have other values. Drawing on fieldwork in Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains as well as comparative material from regions stretching from Eastern Europe to Melanesia, he examines the impact of mistrust on practices of conversation and communication, friendship and society, and politics and cooperation. In doing so, he demonstrates that trust is not the only basis for organizing human society and cooperating with others. The result is a provocative but enlightening work that makes us rethink social issues such as suspicion, doubt, and uncertainty.http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/M/bo26330914.html
