Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article discusses the so-called verb-oriented method and its role in the research project Gender and Work in early modern Sweden (GaW), which is based at Uppsala University. It provides a presentation of the GaW-database, which has been designed to allow analysis according to the verb-method. Finally, the article points out that this method can be combined with a number of different theoretical approaches as long as the focus is on practices. It is therefore compatible with the approaches of e.g., Judith Butler, Michel de Certeau, and Amartya Sen. Work is defined as "time-use with the purpose of making a living" and the article discusses why data on time-use, or actual work activities, are better suited for research into early modern Swedish working life than other types of data. It shows that activities are usually described in the sources by verb-phrases, and explains how and from what sources verb-phrases are collected and analyzed within the project. In order to allow for generalizations the verb-method presupposes large amounts of data. This is the rationale for the GaW-database, which at present includes around 5000 verb-phrases and 75000 data posts.

Built cultural heritage in Antarctica : remains and uses of the first Swedish SouthPolar expedition 1901–1903
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In 1901, Otto Nordenskjöld led the first Swedish South Polar expedition with a multidisciplinary team of researchers in geology, geography, biology and medicine. The original plan was to hibernate in Antarctica and stay for one year to survey the land, measure the climate, and collect samples, but their ship was wrecked and the expedition came to last more than two years. Today, the remains from this expedition are protected as cultural heritage according to the Antarctic Treaty and they have been maintained by Argentinian efforts. Among five protected cultural environments, the wooden research station on Snow Hill Island stands out. Sweden joined the Antarctic Treaty in 1984 but has not actively engaged in the management of cultural heritage there until the CHAQ2020 expedition in 2020. The fieldwork presented in this report was carried out in Antarctica with the purposes of documenting and assessing the condition of the remains and providing a knowledge base for policy and decision-making concerning Swedish cultural heritage in Antarctica.

"Androm till varnagel-" : det tidigmoderna Stockholms folkliga rättskultur i ett komparativt perspektiv
- 1998

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The basic concept for my research is legal culture. Thus I do not confine my study to what has been labelled "historical criminology", but also include litigation in civil cases concerning economic conflicts. Though quantitative analysis is a necessary preliminary step, the focus of my interest lies in attitudes and values, mainly of the lower classes. The study of popular legal culture in Stockholm 1620-1720 is viewed in a comparative perspective with Chester and Bremen, two cities with legal systems belonging to the two main judicial traditions of Europe.At the basis of any theory of culture and cultural change should be the assumption that there is a relation between culture and the power structure in the society where that culture is situated. But power is not only the determinant of culture, legal culture also includes the way that power is structured, and the ways it is exercised. In the field of legal culture the main change with respect to power in the period I have examined is what has been labelled the judicial revolution. This concept is related to the process of the state taking control over legal system and establishing a monopoly of violence in society.Two main features may be discerned in the change of criminal pattern of Stockholm during the period 1620-1720. There is a distinct fall of the frequency of lethal violence and a rise of female criminality. In fact the early eighteenth century Stockholm is the only case known where more women than men are indicted and sentenced.The comparative study focuses on how the legal tradition coexists with different political and economic systems and with differences in the legal culture: values and attitudes concerning the law, especially the code of honour, which from a Swedish point of view seems to be a crucial element in the popular legal culture, the education and backgrund of the judges and lawyers as well as the participation of laymen in the legal system, the equality before law; the role of different kinds of argumentation in the legal discourse and finally the existence of popular sanctions outside the official system.The anglo-saxon system has maintained many arcaic and irrational elements, but on the other hand it has fostered a strong tradition of commersialization, pluralism and freedom to choose between different kind of courts, which may have aided the developement of a capitalistic economy. In Bremen the bürger-elite stayed in control of the political power, working for the autonomy of the city. But at the same time the city council gave place to a large number of judicially trained members and ranged itsef within the legal system of the empire.

Dolt i offentligheten : nya perspektiv på traditionellt källmaterial
- 2011
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vad vilar i det dolda, vad göms i arkivens vrår? Genom tryckfrihetsförordningen 1766 fick medborgare och historiker tillgång till allmänna handlingar och de senaste hundra åren har offentligt källmaterial använts i nästan alla avhandlingar. Det är tillgängligt, bekvämt och självklart. Sällan ställs kritiska frågor om vad det innebär. Till synes oändliga rader av dokument lockar forskarna att vandra i administrationens fotspår, att undersöka vissa teman. Samtidigt skapar sekretess, privatiseringar och myndigheters gallringar stora tomrum och håligheter. Vad hamnar egentligen i arkiven? Uppsatserna i denna bok behandlar riksdagsprotokollen som trycksak och medium, begreppshistoriska och biografiska frågeställningar, manligt och kvinnligt, historiografi och kommunarkivens rikedom. Tillsammans visar de hur nya perspektiv kan locka fram oväntade svar från bekanta källserier, men också att miljontals gulnade trycksidor och snörbundna dossiersamlingar fortfarande ligger där – orörda.

Fångsamhället som inte skulle finnas : Överlevnad och anpassning i fängelse under åren 1890–1920
- 2019
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation studies how prisoners could affect and influence their life in two different prison systems and what it meant for how the systems worked in practice. The systems in question are the Philadelphia system (the separate system) and the Auburn system (the congregate system). To a large extent, these are studied from the example of the central prison at Långholmen, which used both systems. Other Swedish prisons also form a part of the study, mainly through prison biographies. The research period is 1890–1920. This was when the separation system peaked in Sweden with the longest isolation penalties.The main question of the thesis is: in what ways did prisoners try to manage and influence their life in prison, how did those actions affect their everyday situation in prison, and how does the importance of those effects appear for the prisoner?In earlier research we can, to some extent, observe a hidden world behind the prison walls where it is obvious that things differed significantly from how they were supposed to work. In order to reach this hidden world, a prisoner-centered perspective has been used, which in this book means a systematic focus on the prisoners' actions and experiences. The result of this approach can be summed up in what I call a prison community that should not have existed. To a large extent, it is this community that we see in the prisoners' actions documented in interrogation protocols and described in prisoners’ biographies.The most important result of this dissertation is that there was a prison community even among isolated prisoners. This is important because the separate system was built upon the idea of isolation, it was the very foundation of the model, and it was a system widely spread internationally. The prisoners' forbidden acts produced a community that was not meant to exist. The dissertation has also studied other ways for prisoners to affect their situation, for example: simulations of ill health, self-harm actions, stimulation strategies, smuggling and illegal production, bribes and thefts.

Stökiga studenter : Social kontroll och identifikation vid universiteten i Uppsala, Dorpat och Åbo under 1600-talet
- 2001
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The thesis focuses upon three universities in Sweden during its ‘Age of Greatness’, Uppsala, Dorpat and Åbo, with a special emphasis upon the universities academic jurisdiction. On the whole the universities saw State intervention as a useful tool in local conflicts with the surrounding town community but opposed that very same form of intervention when it tried to interfere in internal university matters. Only minor reforms however, in the face of often fierce State criticism as to the lack of discipline among the students, were instituted but left the universities’ prerogatives untouched.Relations with the local authorities were at times quite stormy and characterised by intense if brief disputes. The main areas of dispute between the universities and the local city authorities was the public peace and the rights to titles and ranking in Church during Mass. The results of the study show a marked difference between the three case studies in both areas which had important consequences for the relative success of social controls in general.The thesis has also investigated the internal relationship between the three universities themselves and the conclusion is that there was considerable difference between formal statures and actual practical jurisdiction. The relationship between professors and students were mutually dependent and beneficial. There were surprisingly few cases of them either verbally or physically abusing their lecturers. As for the students themselves the thesis looks at two vital aspects namely age and geographic distribution of origins. This illustrates the problem that some students were picked upon and punished or degraded because of their age or origins. Hardly any students responsible for these activities were however charged or punished for their actions.

Svenska städer i medeltidens Europa : En komparativ studie av stadsorganisation och politisk kultur
- 2006
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- How did the Swedish towns compare to the surrounding world during the late Middle Ages concerning town organization and political culture? Previous research has claimed a strong German influence on the Swedish town life, but in this dissertation the Europeanization is being put forward as the explanatory factor for the extensive international similarities that can be identified during the Middle Ages. The towns were part of an international town culture that was highly integrated. Differences between towns are foremost analysed as a result of different local conditions such as population size, social structure and relationship to the town lord. Since preserved sources from all towns of medieval Sweden (including Finland) have been examined in a joint study and been placed in a wider context, the dissertation presents renewed and deepened knowledge about the Swedish towns. The study includes Danish, English and German towns and thus compares regions with each other that rarely have been compared before, and thereby presents new perspectives on each respective area. The aspects of the organization that are being systematically compared are the creation of councils, the number of aldermen and mayors, the rotation of offices and functions of the town lords, bailiffs, councils, mayors and chamberlains. Regarding political culture, it is investigated how the councils expressed their group cohesiveness and power in the town and how they defined the border between themselves and the town population. Furthermore, the expectations the town populations placed on the officials and their perception of their own part in the rule of the town is being examined. Finally, the political interaction between council and town population in different towns is compared and analysed.
