Subjective emotions, political implications: Thinking through tensions and contradictions in feminist knowledge production
Författare
Summary, in English
visions within feminist activism in a Swedish context, this paper emerges from experiences
during fieldwork with feminist activist groups. Focusing on tensions and contradictions
encountered during fieldwork, this article problematizes the social and emotional dimen-
sions of research. Through a discussion of our interactions with the research participants as
subjective relationships and as relationships of power, this article suggests that a closer
engagement with the research subject, and with what she can learn from the relationship
with the research object, can challenge researchers’ implicit assumptions and emotional
attachments, contributing to a destabilization of power relations in knowledge production.
