2. A Methodology In The Becoming: Examining The Possibilities Of Diffractive Watching Through A Feminist New Materialist Lens
University essay from Karlstads universitet/Centrum för genusforskning (from 2013)Abstract : In this Thesis, influenced by Geert’s and van der Tuin’s (2016) diffractive reading of Beauvoir and Irigaray, I propose the methodology of diffractive watching and watching diffractively as another tool for film analysis while engaging in an exploration of the potentials and limitations presented in the process. I find the concept of diffraction to be of significant merit within feminist new materialist research and to that end, I am interested in assessing the concept’s versatility and in verifying its methodological value.

5. The Workers of Society – the Artist, the Housewife and the Nun : A Feminist Marxist Analysis on the Intersections of Art, Care Work and Social Struggles
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Genus; Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakultetenAbstract : What do art workers, nuns and care workers have in common? How can these commonalities be conceptualised from the perspective of feminist Marxism? How would such conceptualisation open up intersectional and transversal perspectives for social movements struggling against precariousness? Departing from an auto-ethnographic account on activist experiences originating from the art workers’ movement in Tallinn, this thesis aims to theorise the intersection of precarious labour and gender. By using the thinking technology of diffractive reading, it places the debates around unwaged labour within art and care sector into the context of autonomist Marxist thinking. READ MORE
