Stort tillykke til de to vindere af KRAKA-prisen for 2024 og 2025 🎉 (English below) Betül Özkaya modtager KRAKA-prisen 2024 for sin artikel “‘Don’t show them anger because then they think we are criminals’: unequal conditions of anger for minority ethnic young men”. Özkayas forskning kredser om et spørgsmål, der både er enkelt og dybt overset: Hvem har egentlig ret til at føle – og udtrykke – vrede? Med et empirisk afsæt i minoritetsetniske unge mænd i Danmark viser hun, hvordan vrede ikke blot er en individuel følelse, men en socialt reguleret og ulige fordelt ressource. Hendes forskning bringer et intersektionelt perspektiv ind i kønsforskningen og åbner for en forståelse af affektiv ulighed.

Diffractions of New, Queer, and Historical Materialisms”. Afhandlingen udmærker sig ved at udvikle en ny teoretisk tilgang, som Klitgård betegner som ‘queer materialisme’. Queer materialisme udvikles i krydsfeltet mellem queerteori, nymaterialisme og historisk materialisme for at adressere systemiske og sammenvævede kriser relateret til seksualitet, klima og kapitalisme. Samtidig demonstrerer Klitgård, hvordan disse teoretiske tankegange ligger i forlængelse af feministisk teori og metodologi.

Özkaya’s research revolves around a question that is both simple and deeply overlooked: who is allowed to feel – and express – anger? Drawing on empirical insights into racialised minority young men in Denmark, she shows how anger is not merely an individual emotion, but a socially regulated and unequally distributed resource. Her research brings an intersectional perspective into gender studies and opens a deeper understanding of affective inequality.

Diffractions of New, Queer, and Historical Materialisms”. The dissertation distinguishes itself by developing a new theoretical approach dubbed “Queer Materialism” by Klitgård. It is developed at the intersection of queer theory, new materialism and historical materialism to address systemic and overlapping crises in relation to sexuality, climate and capitalism. Klitgård demonstrates how these theoretical lines of thought align with feminist theory and methodology. Read Klitgård’s PhD thesis here 👉 https://lnkd.in/esU-dJxS
