Happy New Year and welcome to the first issue of 2020! We have an exciting year ahead of us, with two special issues and several interesting contributions from Nordic and international gender and feminist researchers, already lining up. In Finland, our own Gender Studies unit at Tampere University will, moreover, be hosting the annual Gender Studies conference 12 and 13 November. The topic will be “Reclaiming Futures”. Keynotes will be given by Cecilia Åsberg (KTH Royal Institute of Technology/Linköping University, Sweden), Roman Kuhar (University of Ljubljana, Slovenia) and Kyla Schuller (Rutgers University, USA). Keep up to date by following NORA on Facebook and Twitter. We encourage participation from feminist scholars in other Nordic countries and beyond! With this issue, we are thrilled to present five interesting articles. These deal with a range of topics, and engage with diverging temporalities, contexts and methodologies. Kathrine Bindesbøl Holm Johansen, Bodil Maria Pedersen & Tine Tjørnhøj-Thomsen ́s explore with the difficult experiential and discursive line between sexual consent and non-consent in Denmark. Solveig Laugerud dives into Norwegian court rape verdicts to explicate how common sense and gendered body-norms shape the discursive justification and common sense reasoning in the evaluation of rape claims. Mari Pajala & Susanna Paasonen explore the relationship between gay liberation and gay consumer culture in their article about lifestyle and politics in a 1980s Finnish gay-porn magazine. Jenny Säilävaara also focuses on the Finnish context, but with a contemporary gaze towards the embodied experience of long-term breastfeeding among Finnish mothers. Finally, Birgit Sauer & Birthe Siim engage in a comparative study of Denmark and Austria, focusing on the responses of civil society groups to intersecting migrant, race, gender and sexuality excluding right-wing politics. Johansen et al. article explores empirically and theoretically the relationship between (un)wanted sex and sexual consent. Empirically, the analysis is based on fieldwork—comprising participant observation and interviews—conducted at two youth centres, two upper-secondary schools, a vocational training school and a production school in Denmark. Theoretically, the authors draw inspiration from Lena Gunnarsons (2018) argument that sexual experience is constituted in the “dialectic between discourse and experience”, arguing that there is an ontological dimension to sexual experience, which relates to human “needs as sentient beings” and cannot be reduced to discursive structures. In unpacking this, the authors turn to Andrew Sayer ́s notion of “emotional reasoning” and “situated sensing”, as better equipped to capture the complexities of consent, than for instance “(lack of) communication”. The authors further develop the concept of “embodied contradictions” in order to get closer to an understanding of the “experiential dimensions of consenting”. This theorizing of consent and non-consent allows consideration of the relational context, in which caring and “sensing” may be directed towards own individual pleasure or the recognition from friends, as well as towards the wants and needs of the sexual partner. Laugerud ́s study is based on the discourse analysis of written rape verdicts handed down by Norwegian courts. The author explores how the “female victims body is portrayed”, and how gendered body norms, in terms of shape and size, are discursively constructed. Laugerud, moreover, explores how these constructions are used in making “common sense” evaluations of the likelihood of rape taking place. Common sense is defined as “practical, pragmatic and experience-based NORA—NORDIC JOURNAL OF FEMINIST AND GENDER RESEARCH 2020, VOL. 28, NO. 1, 1–3 https://doi.org/10.1080/08038740.2020.1721170

新年快乐,欢迎来到2020年第一期!即将过去的一年是令人兴奋的一年,北欧和国际性别与女权主义研究人员已经发表了两期专题,并发表了几篇有趣的论文。此外,我们在坦佩雷大学的性别研究部门将在芬兰主办11月12日至13日的年度性别研究会议。主题将是“回收期货”。主题演讲将由CeciliaÅsberg(瑞典皇家技术学院/瑞典林雪平大学),Roman Kuhar(斯洛文尼亚卢布尔雅那大学)和Kyla Schuller(美国罗格斯大学)进行。通过在Facebook和Twitter上关注NORA来了解最新信息。我们鼓励其他北欧国家及其他国家的女权主义者学者参与其中!鉴于此问题,我们很高兴提出五篇有趣的文章。这些涉及一系列主题,并涉及不同的时间,上下文和方法。KathrineBindesbølHolm Johansen,Bodil Maria Pedersen和TineTjørnhøj-Thomsen的研究探索了丹麦的性同意与不同意之间的艰难体验和讨论界限。索尔维格·劳格鲁德(Solveig Laugerud)深入挪威法院对强奸案的判决,以阐明在对强奸案索赔进行评估时,常识和性别身体规范如何塑造话语辩护和常识推理。Mari Pajala和Susanna Paasonen在1980年代的芬兰同性恋色情杂志上有关生活方式和政治的文章中探讨了同性恋解放与同性恋消费文化之间的关系。珍妮·塞拉瓦拉(JennySäilävaara)也着眼于芬兰语,但是,当代人凝视着芬兰母亲长期母乳喂养的实际经历。最后,比尔吉特·绍尔(Birgit Sauer)和比尔·西姆(Birthe Siim)进行了丹麦和奥地利的比较研究,重点研究了民间社会团体对不包括右翼政治在内的移民,种族,性别和性行为相交的反应。Johansen等。这篇文章从经验和理论上探讨了(不想要的)性与性同意之间的关系。根据经验,该分析基于在丹麦的两个青年中心,两所高中学校,一所职业培训学校和一所生产学校进行的实地调查(包括参与者的观察和访谈)。从理论上讲,作者从Lena Gunnarsons(2018)的论点中汲取灵感,该论点认为性经验是“话语与经验之间的方言”构成的,认为性经验存在一个本体论方面,它涉及人类的“需要作为有情生物”,不能被归结为话语结构。在解开这些内容时,作者转向安德鲁·萨耶尔(Andrew Sayer)的“情感推理”和“情境感知”概念,比例如“(缺乏)交流”更好地捕捉了同意的复杂性。为了进一步了解“同意的体验维度”,作者进一步发展了“具体矛盾”的概念。这种关于同意和不同意的理论允许考虑关系的背景,在这种情况下,关怀和“感觉”可以针对自己的个人快乐或朋友的认可,以及性伴侣的需求。Laugerud的研究基于挪威法院对强奸判决书的话语分析。作者探讨了如何描绘“女性受害者的身体”,以及如何以形态和大小来建构性别的身体规范。此外,劳格罗德(Laugerud)探索了如何使用这些结构对强奸发生的可能性进行“常识”评估。常识被定义为“实用,务实和基于经验的NORA——《北欧女权与性别研究期刊2020》,第一卷。28号 1,1–3 https://doi.org/10.1080/08038740.2020.1721170 探索如何使用这些结构对强奸发生的可能性进行“常识”评估。常识被定义为“实用,务实和基于经验的NORA——《北欧女权与性别研究期刊2020》,第一卷。28号 1,1-3 https://doi.org/10.1080/08038740.2020.1721170 探索如何使用这些结构对强奸发生的可能性进行“常识”评估。常识被定义为“实用,务实和基于经验的NORA——《北欧女权与性别研究期刊2020》,第一卷。28号 1,1-3 https://doi.org/10.1080/08038740.2020.1721170
