Subjective emotions, political implications: Thinking through tensions and contradictions in feminist knowledge production

Författare

Summary, in English

Based on an ongoing research project in which we explore practices, strategies and
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.
