I samband med VR:s internationella postdoktorsbeslut är vi glada att kunna meddela att Ellen Suneson anställs vid HT-fakulteterna. Ellen presenterar sig så här:
”My three-year long postdoc project To show but not tell: on themes of passivity, submission, and internalization in 1970s Nordic feminist art explores a number of artworks and performances produced in Denmark and Sweden during the late 1960s and 1970s. The project is based on themes developed in my doctoral thesis Portraying unease: the art and politics of uncomfortable attachments (2022). The importance of my postdoc project lies in constructing a new theoretical and methodological framework for analysing visual representations of the experience of subordination. This framework, in turn, proposes both new interpretations of already recognized feminist artworks produced by artists based in the Nordic countries during the 1960s and 1970s as well as suggests the artistic importance of a number of previously largely overlooked artworks and performances from the time. During the first two years of the project I will be based at the Department for Art and Cultural Studies at Copenhagen university. The last year will be spent at the Department for Art and Cultural Sciences at Lund University.”
Välkommen till HT, Ellen!
