Tänka rätt och tycka lämpligt : historieämnet i skärningspunkten mellan att fostra kulturbärare och förbereda kulturbyggare
- 2017
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This doctoral thesis describes the subject of history as being filled with suspense. On the one hand, that is, in the syllabus and the teaching plan, the subject of history seeks to create students who affirm a certain culture and a certain way of understanding the past. On the other hand, students are supposed to learn to think independently and critically. This tension has consequences for the way in which students use history in school, and the way in which history teachers interpret their assignment. Students have difficulties in distancing themselves from their own approach to culture, and to comprehend that history consists of interpretations and constructions. Instead, they perceive historical narratives as either true or false. This makes it difficult to deal with questions regarding the past that challenge their view on history and are difficult to handle ethically. The dissertation also shows that the students’ use of history is limited to that which is called the school’s value system, and a view of the past that results from this value system. In those cases in which historical narratives correspond with the students’ own views and opinions, often in harmony with those voiced by the school, they tend to believe in and affirm them. In those cases in which the narratives do not correspond with the students’ views, they do not believe in them and reject them. At the same time, teachers have difficulties with handling students’ use of history in those cases in which it differs from the value system’s premises, as well as from a version of history that can be regarded as established at the school in question. This became apparent in the teachers’ evaluations, in which they systematically gave student responses that were located outside of this framework poorer evaluations and tougher scrutiny. The findings of this thesis can be considered as important from a number of different perspectives. The instructions for teaching and learning history in school are inconsistent and therefore difficult to understand for both teachers and students. To be sure, this applies primarily to those who find themselves outside of the life-world defined within the framework of the school in question. Assessing the use of history in school, in particular in a formative way, may therefore become difficult for teachers. How are teachers, who dismiss certain uses of history based on ethical reasons that can be found in the value system, but not in the knowledge requirements, supposed to be able to argue for their dismissal based on the knowledge claims of the syllabus? Students whose work is dismissed based on invisible criteria can perceive themselves as misunderstood and unwelcome in discussions regarding history at school. They can also come to perceive that their historical narratives are not allowed to exist in this context. Therefore, this dissertation suggests the creation of evaluation criteria for the subject of history that take into account ethical aspects in regard to students’ use of history. With the syllabus as starting point, this can serve to provide a basis for more precise evaluations and more equal conversations between students and teachers. A fertile ground for a vibrant democracy, in which students are taught to take responsibility for their use of history.

När slutar invandrarna vandra? : Integrationsfrågan i statlig, kommunal och skolpolitisk diskurs 1967–2000
- 2023

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- During the last three decades of the 20th century Swedish immigrant policy went through a profound change. In the late 1960s immigrant policy were based on assimilation but during the 1970’s and 1980’s this policy was exchanged to multicultural guidelines. These multicultural guidelines were however abandoned in the late 1990s when integration became a key word in the debate about immigrants. This thesis investigates how these changes were made possible by a shifting understanding of immigrants in state and local discourse (the last represented by Malmö municipality) by operationalizing Carol Lee Bacchis What’s the problem represented to be analysis. Previous research has shown that the social category of immigrants during the first six decades of the 20th century understood immigrants as a threat towards the Swedish race and later the welfare state. From this perspective immigrant policy can be seen as the result of the creation of a problematized immigrant subject, a tendency that is also the case for later decades. The investigation shows that immigrants in the early 1970’s were mainly understood from a class and welfare perspective. During this period immigrants were seen as a threat towards the social cohesion of the welfare state as well as the social democratic ambitions of a raised standard of living for the working class. This understanding led to the development of a multicultural policy where immigrant culture was supported within state and local politics and by structural changes in the education system, aiming to include the category in civic life and improve their living conditions. In the years between 1976 and 1985 the understanding of immigrants however changed. During this period immigrants became increasingly problematized for their lack of employment and a cultural difference. During the end of this period the multicultural policy changed from an emphasis on culture as a resource for social inclusion to that some parts of of a Swedish identity were not subject of choice. Furthermore, this period also lead to increased efforts at the individual level, were the policy aimed to give individual immigrants increased chances at the labor market. During the last fifteen years the 20th century immigrant policy became increasingly politicized, and immigrants became understood as radically culturally different from swedes. In this period immigrant culture were constructed as oppressive towards women and outdated when compared to the modern Swedish culture. Furthermore, the notion of immigrants as unemployed from previous decades continued to play an important part and immigrants were also conceived as living segregated. This view resulted in the creation of integration policies aiming to not handle immigrants as a from the general population different group. Instead, immigrants should become integrated in Swedish society through the general welfare with an emphasis that not all parts of a Swedish identity were choose able.The result of the investigation show that European culture became increasingly normative in the development of Swedish migrant policy, thus excluding European immigrants from the problematized immigrant subject. Thereby the globalization of migration towards Sweden led to a development were immigrant policy shifted focus from class to cultural perspectives.

Att höra det förflutna till : Adlig minneskultur och kollektiv identitet efter ståndssamhällets upplösning, 1869-1976
- 2021
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den här avhandlingen utgår från följande problemställning. Hur kunde adeln, en grupp i sådan hög grad påverkad av det äldre samhällets värld avprivilegier, börd och ståndsuppdelning, fortsätta att existera även under ochefter 1800- och 1900-talets moderna genombrott? Detta nya, framväxandesamhälles vägledande principer utgjordes ju snarare av sådant som jämlikhet, personlig förtjänst och tanken om medborgarskap, i mångt och mycket motsatsen till de ideal som tidigare varit förhärskande. I avhandlingenanläggs ett kulturhistoriskt perspektiv för att studera detta historiska problem, med utgångspunkten att det förflutna var av avgörande betydelse för att denadliga identiteten kunde upprätthållas efter ståndssamhällets upplösning. Dess syfte är att undersöka hur den svenska adelns kollektiva identitetupprätthölls och förändrades under perioden från det första adelsmötet, år 1869, till Riddarhusets 350-årsjubileeum, år 1976, genom att analysera denadliga minneskulturen. Källmaterialet som analyseras är huvudsakligenhämtat från adelns kollektiva verksamhet, i form av protokoll från periodensadelsmöten och medlemstidningen Arte et Marte. Avhandlingens teoretiska utgångspunkter är hämtade från memory studies-fältet. Avhandlingen består av tre delar, som studerar varsin aspektav den adliga minneskulturen: den performativa, den kommunikativa,respektive minneskulturens fixpunkter. Genom att analysera en rad olikafenomen relaterade till adeln, under mer än 100 år: statyer, historieböcker, jubileumsfester, privilegier, namnskyddslagar, herrgården och utdöendet avadliga ätter, undersöks gruppens minneskultur och den föränderliga adliga kollektiva identiteten

Vem äger tiden? : ett idéhistoriskt perspektiv på arbetstidsfrågan i Sverige 1880-1925
- 2017
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Frågan om att äga sin egen tid är av existentiell karaktär. Det har sin grund i jordelivets förgänglighet. Livet tar slut, och slutet är indi-viduellt. När jag dör är det bara mitt liv som upphör. Jag går ensam i döden. Hur jag förvaltar min levnadstid, och i vilken mån som andra har rätt att göra anspråk på denna tid, ter sig ur mitt enskilda perspektiv vara av monumental betydelse, och så är det rimligtvis också för varje annan människa. Arbetstiden har sedan industrialismens framväxt utgjort den dominerande tiden för lönearbetaren. Det är en tid som löne arbetaren inte själv äger, och det är därigenom också en tid som påverkar den enskildes möjligheter att råda över sitt eget liv. Syftet med föreliggande studie är att belysa arbetarrörelsens kamp för och arbetsgivarintressenas strid mot en förkortad och reglerad arbetstid på en arbetsmarknad som i stort sett saknade regleringar. Undersökningen är idéhistorisk till sin karaktär. Den granskar arbetarrörelsens respektive arbetsgivarintressenas argumentation kring och ideologiska förhållningssätt till normal-/maximalarbetsdagen under perioden 1880-1925. I slutändan kom kampen att handla om införandet av åttatimmarsdagen, där slagordet ”åtta timmars arbete, åtta timmars fritid, åtta timmars vila” i sitt historiska sammanhang utgjorde ett radialt och progressivt krav. Idag har åtta timmars arbete blivit den tillsynes oantastliga normen. Men det ter sig relevant att, som kammarrättsrådet Johan Österberg gjorde i riks-dagen 1919, ställa frågan ”var ligger rättvisan i att just bestämma en 8 timmars arbetsdag? Varför skall rättvisan ligga just i de 8 timmarna, och varför kan man icke bestämma vilken annan tid som helst?” Hans Dahlqvist är filosofie doktor i historia och har tidigare bland annat publicerat avhandlingen Fri att konkurrera och skyldig att producera. En ideologikritisk granskning av SAF 1902-1948 (2003) samt essäerna ”Finns det liv efter lönearbetet? En idéhistorisk framställning om synen på arbetets värde” (2010) samt ”Folkhemsbegreppet: Rudolf Kjellén vs Per Albin Hansson” (2002).

Från Kingston till Göinge : autencitet, identitet och representationer av det förflutna i svensk reggaekultur
- 2022
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis explores the role of history in popular culture with a particular focus on the Swedish reggae scene. It examines how cultural meaning applied to music bears strong connections to historical representations, and how individuals understand, communicate, and reproduce selective notions of the past in relationship to popular music. History is viewed as an essential cultural component in this thesis, a component equipped with the ability to articulate political resistance, and express a sense of identity and belonging. The overall purpose is to examine how history is constructed, represented and used in the Swedish reggae scene, and how notions of origin and authenticity are expressed. The empirical chapters examine how different representations of the past in Swedish reggae relates to notions of origin, place and authenticity. These representations are constructed through social interactions, but also through interaction with texts, objects, and cultural practices.As the thesis shows, different representations of pasts and notions of origins exists in Swedish reggae, connecting to various geographical, cultural, and historical contexts. The hybridization of reggae becomes an important factor that contributes to making Swedish reggae something special and unique. In the Swedish reggae scene, which is predominatly white, the hybridization can be understood as an attempt to free oneself from aspects of reggae associated with Black experiences of white oppression. The use of local, regional, and national cultural expressions and representations of the past creates a distance to the Jamaican reggae traditions, and the historical narratives of slavery, colonialism and racial discrimination that reinforces the Black identification in Jamaican reggae. Instead, by relating to Swedish historical milieus, traditions and events, a closer and more relatable understanding of reggae is created. However, the thesis also shows that not all actors who consume and produce reggae in Sweden identify with the Swedish hybrid version. In such cases, its typical Swedishness is seen as an undesirable departure from the history and traditions of Jamaican reggae. Jamaican reggae is then perceived as a cultural heritage that should be preserved and respected in its original form - not in a copied or remodelled version.

Vi bodde, bad och blev utbildade som om vi vore på skilda kontinenter : katolska och protestantiska arbetare i Belfast 1850-1914
- 2004
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- "Vi bodde, bad och blev utbildade som om vi vore på skilda kontinenter" är ett citat ur en äldre Belfastkvinnas berättelse om sin uppväxt i en protestantisk arbetarmiljö i Belfast strax efter sekelskiftet 1900. Citatet visar den starka segregation mellan katoliker och protestanter som hade utvecklats vid denna tid och som fortfarande lever kvar som en central del av Nordirlandkonflikten. I boken analyseras, mot bakgrund av den politiska, sociala och ekonomiska utvecklingen i Irland 1850-1914, framväxten av denna skarpa segregation och de identiteter som skapas i detta sammanhang. För att förstå identitetsskapandet och hur "vi och dem" grupper cementeras studeras människors hela liv. Det rör sig om arbetsmarknad och arbetsliv, boende, fritid samt facklig och politisk organisering. Därvidlag visas på ett komplicerat samspel mellan identitetsgrunder som klass, genus och etnicitet.

Den fjärde kvadrantens dilemma : Kunskapsbedömning i en föränderlig historiekultur
- 2021
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The purpose of this dissertation is to explore how history teachers in Swedish upper-secondary school perceive voluntary external tests in history. The study focuses on history teachers' perceptions of 1) the design of the tests, 2) the implementation of the tests, 3) the use of the tests and 4) the impact of the tests on their assessment practice. The overall aim is to investigate how historical culture, as it is expressed in the school subject of history, changes over time. The analytical focus for the study has been to explore the significance of knowledge assessment in general, and voluntary external tests in particular, for this change. The temporal focus for the study has been the 2011 Swedish school policy reforms manifested in the curriculum for upper-secondary school (Gy11).The theoretical framework combines theory of history didactics and theory of assessment. Historical culture and assessment culture are the central concepts of the study. The overall hypothesis of the study is that the relationship between the school's historical-cultural dimension and the assessment-cultural dimension contains a latent tension referred to as the dilemma of the fourth quadrant.The empirical material was collected from qualitative interviews with eight history teachers. The first sub-study included four teachers during the year 2009 who had used a voluntary external test named the History Teachers' Test (HLP). The second sub study included four teachers during the year 2016 who had used a voluntary external test named the Course Test in History (KP).The results show that history teachers perceive and handle the external tests in different ways. One possible interpretation of this difference is that the tests respond to different needs or problems. In the study, two such problem areas have emerged, the equivalence problem and the alignment problem. A conclusion based on the empirical results is that the HLP-teachers use the test results for a summative purpose to deal with an equivalence problem, while the KP-teachers use the test tools for a formative purpose to deal with an alignment problem. The results also show that there is strong a connection between the school's historical-cultural dimension and assessment-cultural dimension, manifested in the history teachers' different ways of perceiving and using voluntary external tests.

Mellan rörelse och stillhet : minne och flykt i unga människors berättande 2009-2021.
- 2023
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The purpose of this thesis is to highlight young people’s experiences of forced migration along irregular migration routes and to examine how they understand themselves in relation to different contexts in time and space. The participants consist of young people with experience of forced migration and of being categorized as ”ensamkommande barn” (unaccompanied minors) upon arrival in Sweden. Using oral and written sources, the thesis explores what and how they remember. The theoretical perspectives are connected by movement as an overarching metaphor. Movement refers to the physical movements made by the participants as well as the assumption that movement characterizes the process of remembering. This is connected to oral history theory and method and the exploration of the past as well as the relationship between past and present in everyday lives. The thesis also leans on several theoretical perspectives from cultural memory studies, which highlight the process in which an individual memory is shaped and reshaped depending on social context and over time. In order to explore how the participants remember different places and times, from origin to destination, a systems approach to migrant trajectories has been applied as a heuristic tool.The analysis shows that there are shared historical contexts despite the fact that the participants make a heterogenous group. During the period of investigation, migration to and within Europe has been characterized by restrictions and control. This means that the participants have travelled via irregular routes, and they have been confronted with strict border controls. When the participants arrived in Sweden, migration policy underwent significant changes that led to consequences for the participants themselves. Furthermore, those labelled ”ensamkommande barn” were at the center of the migration policy debate in the wake of the so called ”refugee crisis” in 2015. An important conclusion in this dissertation is that to a large extent, movements in time and space have led to a development of how the participants understand themselves. In addition to movements over time, shifts in social contexts bring changes to what and how the participants remember. To conclude, this thesis contributes to research on ”ensamkommande barn” as it illuminates the different ways in which the participants understand themselves and experience a sense of belonging. Another contribution is the thesis' approach to historical contextualization and the understanding of the participants as actors in relation to larger historical change.

Historia och nationalism : Sverigedemokraternas och Dansk Folkepartis historiska berättelser
- 2023
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis studies the relationship between history and nationalism as expressed by the political parties the Sweden Democrats and the Danish People's Party. The study focuses on how the Sweden Democrats and the Danish People's Party convey historical narratives in their party magazines, SD-Kuriren and Dansk Folkeblad, respectively, and in central party documents. The narrative theory being implemented is based primarily on the ideas of Paul Ricœur, Jörn Rüsen and David Carr. More specifically, their ideas about how people use historical narratives to understand and make meaning of their existence. The importance of a story's content resonating with its recipients, that is being able to recognize and decode the intended meaning of the story, is discussed using nationalism theory and a history didactic framework, the latter with a focus on historical culture. The results show that the historical narratives deployed by the Sweden Democrats and the Danish People’s Party exist at different levels. On the one hand, there are overarching stories that appear when the main narrative is put together. On the other hand, there are smaller narratives that are both part of and relate to the main narratives in different ways. Four main themes can be read in the historical narratives of the Sweden Democrats and the Danish People's Party. These motifs follow the chronology of the main narratives and form the basis of the disposition of the thesis. They consist, in turn, of origin stories, conquests and defeats, friends and enemies, and welfare stories. The Sweden Democrats' and the Danish People's Party's approach to history is both legitimizing and purposeful. Based on a narrative grammar, guided by the nationalist core doctrine, interpretations of the past are filtered to become part of their meaning-making practices. In their historical narratives, key symbols of historical culture are used to point out the importance of acting in the present for the future. Through a set of narrative strategies, they use history to indicate what they believe is wrong in contemporary social development, and how this fault may be corrected.

Identitet i en föränderlig värld : Sju nya historieskrivningar
- 2021
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Antologin visar nyansrikedomen inom det ämne som i vid mening kallas historia. Avståndet mellan texterna kan tyckas vara stort, då det rör sig om skildringar av hur vikingar gestaltas på museum, den svenska adelns förändrade identitet under 1800-talet, hur unga flyktingar i Sverige idag formulerar sin historiska självförståelse i sociala medier och analys av socialdemokraters memoarer som historieskrivning. Vidare berörs materialförvaltares professionalisering inom elitishockey, kulturarv och reggaeturism i Jamaica samt volontärorganisationers förändring till politiska rörelser i flyktingmottagandet 2015. Det gemensamma temat för antologin är frågor om hur individer eller kollektiv formar sin identitet i relation till de temporala sammanhang som de skriver in sig själva i.

Historia från kursplan till klassrum : perspektiv på lärares historieundervisning från Lpo 94 till Lgr 11
- 2020
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The thesis examines how history teachers perceive history teaching in Swedish lower secondary schools during a time-period when two different curricula were in use: Lpo 94 and Lgr 11. The overall aim is to investigate how history can be expressed through teachers' transformation of the subject, from syllabus to classroom. The study focuses mainly on the perceived and the operational curricula, according to Goodlad et als curriculum theory. Transformation and transformation factors, i.e. factors that influence teachers' transformation, are central concepts of the thesis. Those are based on Shulman's theory of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and teachers' knowledge base. The term transformation is used in a wide sense, including the process of planning, teaching, and evaluation. Theories from both German and Anglo-american history didactics are used to create an analytical model, including three dimensions of historical knowledge and three sets of historical concepts. The model is used to analyze the respondents' stories as content knowledge, disciplinary knowledge and functional knowledge.The empirical material was collected from qualitative interviews with twenty-one history teachers at six different lower secondary schools. In addition to the interviews, teaching material in the form of teacher planning, examinations and other documents were collected. These documents were used to support, or question, the findings in the interviews.The results show that teachers transformed the history subject in several different ways, using the syllabus as starting point. The main factors influencing the teachers' choice of goals, content and methods in their history teaching were the students, the text books and their knowledge base. For the teachers in the second sub-study, the new national test had a profound impact on the choices teachers made. The three dimensions of knowledge, dealing with content (substantive knowledge), metahistorical concepts and skills (procedural knowledge), and value related issues (meaning) in history proved to be important in history teaching, both before and after Lgr 11. Although the main emphasis on knowledge as content was a continuity, the disciplinary aspects have gained importance during the period. All teachers also took the dimension of meaning into their teaching. A specific result shows that teachers who taught in multi-cultural classrooms especially saw identity and democratic citizenship as important aspects of their teaching. Another important result is that the national tests had a great impact on teachers after Lgr 11. The study also showed that history teachers were affected by the educational context, i.e. accountability, a strong emphasis on the quality of education and increased control.

"Unity pervades all activity as water every wave" : principal teachings and philosophy of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
- 2014
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The major purpose of this thesis is to investigate some essential aspects of the teachings and philosophy of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (1917-2008) expressed during different periods of time. There is a primary focus on the teachings expressed in Maharishi’s translation and commentary on the didactic poem, Bhagavadgītā, with extensive references to Maharishi’s metaphorical language. The philosophy and teaching expressed in this text is investigated in relation to later texts. Since maybe the most significant and most propagated message of Maharishi was his peace message, its theory and practice, as well as studies published regarding the so-called Maharishi Effect, are reflected in the thesis. Maharishi’s philosophy and teachings are analysed using three categories: 1. Vision and Tradition, as Maharishi could be considered on the one hand, a custodian of the ancient Vedic tradition and is associated with the Advaita Vedānta tradition of Śaṅkara from his master. On the other hand, Maharishi could be considered an innovator of this tradition and a visionary in his interpretation of the Vedic texts in relation to modern science. 2. Consciousness and Experience are central concepts in the teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, as well as the relationship between them, which is evidenced by their use in Maharishi’s writing and lecturing. 3. Practice before Theory is a concept used because of the numerous instances in Maharishi’s philosophy and teaching indicating that he put practice before theory for spiritual development. The practice of Transcendental Meditation and the advanced TM-Sidhi programme is according to Maharishi in his vision of a better society most essential and he considered the application of a practice forgotten in many interpretations of texts like the Bhagavadgītā. The thesis thus considers Maharishi’s view on “Veda” and the “Vedic literature”, and on the Self, Ātmā, which could be considered the single most important concept in Maharishi’s world of ideas on which his entire teaching is based.

Remembering Chile : an entangled history of Hip-hop in-between Sweden and Chile
- 2016
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- What does it mean when Hip-hop artists in both Sweden and Chile claim a Chilean or Latino artist identity? How can these identities be understood against the background of the 1973 coup d’état in Chile and its immediate and long-term consequences? This study sets out to answer these questions by focusing on the intersection of Hip-hop culture and the Chilean diaspora in Sweden after 1973. Based on a close reading of lyrics, as well as interviews with Hip-hop artists in both countries, it traces the way in which the artists position themselves, and in turn are positioned in different historical narratives in, and in-between the two countries. In terms of a Swedish past, this study discusses their identities in connection to a narrative based on inclusion – the narrative of the good Sweden (det goda Sverige) – and a narrative based on exclusion – the narrative of the old Sweden (det gamla Sverige). In terms of remembering a Chilean past on the other hand, it discusses them in connection to narratives based on either remembering or forgetting the atrocities committed by the Pinochet regime. By using an entangled history approach, this dissertation adds an explicitly historical, cultural and transnational perspective to the study of the connection between Chile and the Chilean diasporization process in Sweden after 1973.

Historieundervisningens utmaningar : historiedidaktik för 2000-talet
- 2018. - 2
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- De utmaningar som historielärare står inför har blivit särskilt aktuella i och med den nya skolreformen och 2011 års omstrukturering av lärarutbildningen. Denna lärobok erbjuder en översyn av viktiga historiedidaktiska metoder, teorier och begrepp som har satt sin prägel på kursplaner i historia, historiedidaktisk forskning och undervisning. Bokens startpunkt är elevers, lärares och läroboksförfattares syn på ämnets syfte, identitetsformande inverkan samt de förändringar ämnet står inför i en kultur som präglas av ökad globalisering, migration, mångkulturalism samt ökat intresse för genusfrågor, normkritik och erkännandet av tidigare marginaliserade grupper och perspektiv. I boken har frågan ”Varför läsa historia?” och de metodologiska överväganden som lärarna ständigt ställs inför fått en central plats. I diskussionen har särskild plats gets de sätt intersektionalitet, normkritik och dekonstruktion kan användas för att förstå elevernas komplexa identiteter och utveckla deras förmåga att kritisk granska de sätt historia används för att beskriva samhälle. Utgångspunkten är att utan insikter om historiedidaktikens kärnfrågor i allmänhet (Varför? Vad? Hur? Vem?) och elevers, lärares och läroboksförfattares erfarenheter, samhällssyn och intressen i synnerhet är det svårt att förklara ämnets legitimitet i skolan samt förstå de didaktiska utmaningar som historieämnet står inför under 2000-talet.

I historiekanons skugga : historieämne och identifikationsformering i 2000-talets mångkulturella samhälle
- 2010
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sweden has on various occasions been described as a multicultural society. So-called multicultural social change has resulted in numerous implications regarding attitudes in respect of history as a subject taught at upper secondary schools. The aim of this study is to problematise the relationship between students' (ethnic) identification and their view of history as a subject. The study focuses on the affects of history teaching on the students' perception of ethnic identification. On the basis of interviews with students, teachers as well as authors of history textbooks I analyse attitudes regarding the content and aim of history as a school subject as well as student's understanding of their ethnic identification. In addition I ask what the aim of history teaching in so-called multicultural societies is, discussing what kind of historical knowledge the interviewees regard as relevant and studying processes of identification. Consequently, I attempt to show what is expected of history as a subject in order for it to be accepted as both applicable and significant within a so-called multicultural social context. Many students want to learn about the history of their parents' country of birth, regarding it as a part of their identification. According to many students, prevalent history is Eurocentric, disregarding the importance of other cultures. Despite this, the importance of transmitting knowledge about Swedish and Western European history is widely articulated. Students' views regarding the content and aim of history are affected by aspects such as, a global economy, the media's impact on their world-view, their food-habits, their common generational experiences, their plans to travel and study abroad. Moreover, students are affected by visits to and contact with their parents' country of birth, their parents' world-views, their own complex ethnic identification, their relationships with their friends as well as where they are geographically. In addition, I examine how emigration from Sweden between 1850 and 1930 and post war immigration to the country have been depicted. The latter is based on selected history and civics textbooks, all published in Sweden between 1962 and 2007. By and large, textbooks construct a ‘we group’, which is described as culturally different from the ‘them group’ (immigrants), that is to say those who are discursively constructed as a group which deviates from the cultural norms that are regarded as dominant and universal for Swedish society.

Grendels Skatt : Återskapad tidig medeltid och gränslanden mellan historia, sanning och fiktion. Och om att hitta (på) en sagolik skattgömma
- 2024
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Historia kan i grunden sägas vara ett återberättat urval av förflutenhet. Det innebär att historia aldrig är detsamma som förflutenhet utan en bearbetning av densamma. Syftet med studien är att undersöka de spänningsfyllda gränsytorna mellan historia, sanning och fiktion. Detta görs genom att undersöka ett publikhistoriskt konstprojekt i gränslandet mellan hantverk, konstnärskap, berättarkonst, historia och myt.Konstprojektet handlade om sökandet efter en fantastisk skatt, Grendels skatt, såsom den omnämns i det tidigmedeltida Beowulfkvädet. Det handlade med om att hitta (på) en skatt från sagans värld genom att återskapa utvalda föremål som om de var verkliga artefakter från den forntid där hjälte- berättelsen om Beowulf utspelar sig.Beowulfkvädet uttolkats i mängder av sammanhang alltsedan medel- tidens slut. Det finns en lång rad nya uttolkningar bara i det sena 1900-talet och det tidiga 2000-talet. Bland annat har kvädet genom Beowulfkännaren J. R. R. Tolkiens litterära verk kommit att influera den moderna fantastiken på ett högst påtagligt sätt. Som ett nutida kulturfenomen är Beowulfkvädet i allra högsta grad någonting levande.Grendels skatt-projektets uttolkning av Beowulf utgör den analytiska ingång varifrån gränsytorna mellan historia, sanning och fiktion ska undersökas i denna studie. Utöver detta studeras även historiska återskapanden av den slags tidigmedeltida europeiska germanska elitkultur där Beowulf en gång framförts. Här undersöks återskapanden och deras sanningsanspråk i mötet mellan nuet och det förflutna. Boken berör framför allt tidigmedeltida germansk elitkultur i norra Europa under tidsperioden 500- 700-tal, samt olika uttryck av dess (åter)skapanden i tidigt 2000-tal.Teoretiskt används i boken en kulturanalytisk ansats där kultur definieras som de praktiker och system i kommunikationen människor emellan där mening skapas. Kvädet är inte bara en levande kulturskatt, det kan även sägas ha samhällsrelevans. Den bär således fortfarande på mening idag kring olika slags beständiga dilemman, såsom kärlek, död, hjältemod, maktmissbruk, offervilja, krig, vänskap och girighet.

"Striden ägde rum i Malmö" : Möllevångskravallerna 1926: en studie av politiskt våld i mellankrigstidens Sverige
- 2009
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- During a few days at the end of November 1926, the Möllevången neighborhood in Malmö was the scene of violent confrontations between thousands of demonstrators and a large part of the city police force. Behind these demonstrations lay an industrial conflict, begun early in July that year at A. W. Nilsson factory. The workers went on strike, and a week or so later the factory owner employed a local recruiter of strike-breakers. From the very first, trouble arose whenever there was an encounter between the strike-breakers and the striking workers. Day and night, the workers had pickets standing outside the factory and from the very beginning there were almost daily demonstrations outside the factory, attracting nearly two hundred participants. Whenever the strike-breakers moved outside the protecting walls of the factory, they were harassed in a menacing way. More than once, the police had to interfere, because the situation had become even more menacing and outspokenly violent. On the night between the 10 and the 11 November something took place which would worsen the tense situation outside the factory. In the street, a strike-breaker and a striking worker were having an argument, which led to the former giving the latter a blow to the head. Just over a week later he died of complications caused by the blow. Within the Social Democratic movement in Malmö no one doubted that the blow to the head and the ensuing death were directly connected. As soon as the news of the death of the striking worker was published in the newspapers, there were several thousands participants in the demonstrations outside the A. W. Nilsson factory. When the police after a few days, ordered to restore order, started trying to force the increasing numbers of demonstrators to leave the vicinity, these resisted, thus causing several days of violent confrontation in the Möllevången area. 10 The strike at A. W. Nilsson factory was not the only conflict in Malmö at this time where the employer used strike-breakers, the encounters between these and the striking workers causing violent demonstrations. Nor did such confrontations occur only in Malmö during the interwar period. The purpose of this thesis is to study the boundaries of collective violence within politics in inter-war Sweden. Five questions are asked: Where did the local social democratic movement draw the boundaries of collective violence within politics during the industrial conflict at the A. W. Nilsson factories in Malmö? How was collective violence used during the conflict? How did representatives from the social democratic movement discuss this use of collective violence? How was this collective violence being discussed in the public debate that took place in the newspaper press? In what way has this collective violence used during the industrial conflict come to be seen in the writing of history? What happened in Malmö in 1926-1928 may be considered to be part of a protracted period of escalating labor disputes between the employed and the employer on the Swedish labor-market, lasting between 1925 and 1932. A similar period can furthermore be said to have occurred between 1908 and 1917. This violence, however, has only seldom been emphasized in Swedish research. On the contrary, the research on working-class history in particular, has stressed the absence of violence. It is true that large-scale collective violence occurred but rarely, even though the events described above, occurring during the period of escalating conflicts in the late 1920s and early 1930s, may be considered to be events where more large scale violence was used. Still, violence occurs in Sweden as well. True, it is arguably mostly smallscale, but till obviously collective in its character, like the more or less daily confrontations between the strike-breakers and the striking workers taking place outside the A .W. Nilsson factory in Malmö. This violence is collective as well, the workers and the strike-breakers being more or less equally responsible for the acts of violence. The workers used to harass the strike-breakers, a form of collective violence in connection with industrial disputes, more or less tolerated by the union as well as by the political leadership within the Social Democratic labor movement. It is acts of violence, which, though they occurred openly 11 in those days, have been more or less forgotten in Swedish research on industrial action. In latter years this has been explained by the fact that this research remarkably often has been focused on explaining ”the Swedish Model” with its spirit of mutual understanding and willingness to compromise, as well as by its historical roots, thus giving Swedish historical research a teleological tendency, conflicts having been played down, while putting stress on and emphasizing mutual understanding. Keywords: Political conflict, contention, collective violence, labor movement, strike, strike-breaking, “the Swedish model”, repression, teleological history.

(Un)contested Heritage. Archives, Museums and Public spaces
- 2023
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This anthology is the result of an international workshop with the aim to initiate new discussions and new research on cultural heritage – contested as well as uncontested. The workshop was held at the Department of Society, Culture and Identity at Malmö University, in October 2022. Contested heritage, sometimes also referred to as “dissonant heritage” or “difficult heritage” has been discussed, explored and studied by cultural heritage scholars from various disciplines over the last two decades. However, there is still limited knowledge about what contested or dissonant heritage is. How, when and by whom heritage can be contested and how it is related to or understood in relation to uncontested heritage are also unresolved questions. The contribution of this anthology thus falls at an intersection between the process-perspectives of critical heritage studies of cultural heritage, the empirical-historical studies of power and agency in social and cultural history (after the archival turn), and the conceptual fields that examine the use of history and history mediation. It rests firmly on the collective expertise drawn from historians and other scholars, at different stages of their careers, from researchers with theoretical proficiency as well as practical experience from cultural heritage work, both within and outside of traditional cultural heritage institutions. The result, if not a comprehensive rendering, is a range of multifaceted insights into research on why and how cultural heritage can be both contested and (un)contested.

Cities in decline? : a comparative history of Malmö and Newcastle after 1945
- 2007
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This book grew from the development of research links between Bill Lancaster in Britain and Peter Billing and Mikael Stigendal in Sweden over a decade ago. Their mutual discussions about the possibility of comparing Malmö and Newcastle resulted in a doctoral studentship sponsored by the University of Northumbria, which was completed in 2000. I thank all three for their advice and guidance since I commenced research in 1997. Particular thanks are extended to Bill Lancaster for his lively enthusiasm and firm belief in the benefits of comparative history. As an exercise in international comparative history, this work has involved many people in both cities. In Malmö I would like in particular to thank the staff of Malmö Stads Arkiv and Arbetarekommunens Arkiv and the City Library and University of Lund Library. Their counterparts at the Tyne and Wear Archive Service, Research Section of the City Council in Newcastle and the Trade Union Studies and Information Unit in Gateshead were equally helpful and supportive. In Newcastle particular thanks are extended to the Newcastle City Library Local Studies Section staff for their invaluable knowledge of, and enduring enthusiasm for, the history of Newcastle upon Tyne. I thank Swedish scholars and colleagues, in particular Peter Aronsson and Katarina Friberg of the University of Växjö, especially Katarina for reading and commenting on many of the chapters, as well as Lars Berggren, Fredrik Björk and Mats Greiff of the Universities of Lund and Malmö. In Britain I benefited from comments and insights from David Byrne, Don MacRraild, Patrick Salmon, Keith Shaw and John Tomaney, in addition to participants and convenors of the research seminars at the School of Humanities at the University of Northumbria. I would also like to thank all my former students of the University of Northumbria. Thanks are also extended to the late Pat Mather of Northumbria University’s Additionally, I would like to thank members of my family in Sweden for their hospitality and support during my research visits to Malmö and my family in Britain for their support and patience and for reading several draft chapters.Slide Library.
