Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis aims to clarify how the merchant networks involved in the trade across the Baltic Sea interplayed with and contributed to create the economic culture of the Baltic Sea region. This is achieved by examining the economic, social, spatial and political aspects of the trade networks in relation to the social organisation of the early modern towns of Stockholm, Lübeck, Malmö and Reval (Tallinn) in the 16th century. The main conclusion is that the trade networks were deeply embedded in the social structures of the early modern towns, as security in trade- and credit networks was tied to property holding and membership in the sworn communities of the Baltic towns. Long-distance trade operated under conditions that set it apart from other ventures, involving a high level of geographic mobility; forming strong ties over political, legal and religious boundaries; and making great investments in risky enterprises. Yet, the merchants in the region shared common interests in safe, well-functioning and profitable trade, and this study shows that they came to develop similar conceptions of how trade relations should be arranged and conducted, which involved ideals about honesty, transparency and sharing profits and losses in a risk-bearing community. This study argues that the risk-bearing community of the trade networks formed a regional burghership, assimilating visiting members from other Baltic towns in the social structure of the towns by receiving them as guests in local burghers' households, while leaving those that were not established members of this community outside, literally as well as figuratively. Building a fragile web of credit relations on the security of the social standing of the members, the trade networks were subjected to the threat that those who had received their trust would default and run from their debts, causing a rift in the web that might drag others down with them. As a counterweight to this threat, wealthy merchants would extend loans to indebted merchants, likely in exchange for loyalty and support from the debtor as well as the community protected by these interventions, as these merchants and creditors can be found practising successful careers in the town councils. To conclude, the results of this study point towards the trade- and credit networks building upon and enforcing the hierarchical power structures already present in the Baltic towns.

- ”…among his Harmonic friends he was just a human”: The Harmonic Society in Stockholm 1820–1865, music and civil societyFor several decades, the Harmonic Society occupied a special place among the voluntary associations of early nineteenth-century Stockholm. During its heydays in the 1820s and 1830s, its combined forces of about 120 choristers and 40 musicians – all but a few amateurs – were hailed as the backbone of musical life in the capital.Drawing on evidence primarily from contemporary newspapers and letters, the article argues that the Harmonic society in its early phase provides a good illustration of a voluntary association as a key factor in an emerging civil society. In line with previous research on voluntary associations, it shows that the purpose guiding the musical society was to provide a haven for music-lovers – irrespective of estate or conviction. In their joint projects – in this case large scale choral works – everyone could come together, freed from other attachments or daily obligations.The Harmonic Society was founded by ten men who constituted a cross-section of the 1820s middle class, with a background as tradesmen, civil servants and professionals. They soon adopted a double mission of ”dilettantism”and ”reform”. The core activity was the social commitment to singing and playing, for the sheer love of music, in private or with invited guests. However, in the early 1820s the society also started a singing school for children, and (from 1824) gave occasional public concerts, sometimes for charity. Love of music should be for the benefit of society.In 1831, with the election of nobleman Bernhard von Beskow as chairman, the Harmonic society embarked on a different path. The aim was now to attract the attention of the royal court and nobility, thus elevating the Harmonic Society from its middle-class origins. This ambition proved successful in the sense that newspapers in the 1830s regularly reported on the activities of the society, dutifully stressing the attendance of royalties and high society. But these ambitions caused severe tensions within the society, with older members lamenting the loss of their unassuming comradeship and humbler gatherings.From the 1840s, the society met with new challenges. The public music scene was expanding and becoming more professionalized and commercialized.New genres, not least the male choir, often formed by workers’ associations, posed a new kind of competition. From c. 1850, most of its activities seems to have waned, after several failed attempts at revival. The cultural public sphere had moved on, leaving the bourgeois amateurs’
