Making themselves heard : Women’s and men’s voice through the regional petitioning process in Sweden, 1758–1880
- 2024
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, thousands of women and men contacted the Governor’s Administration of Västmanland (Länsstyrelsen i Västmanlands län), handing in petitions concerning a wide range of matters. This thesis studies these cases to deepen our understanding of women's and men's ability and need to make themselves heard through the regional petitioning process. It also elucidates how this practice was intertwined with people's endeavours to make a living by focusing on the participation’s connection to resources. By studying petition registers and a corpus of nearly 3,000 surviving petition files, it contributes to existing scholarship in three important ways.First, the thesis introduces an extended theoretical conceptualisation of the regional petitioning process, where the relationship between petitioner and respondent is integral to the petitioning itself. This inclusion shows that the commonest reason why people needed to make themselves heard, thus establishing a relationship with the governor and his administration in the first place, was because of interactions and conflicts with other people over some resource, primarily credit, land or working roles. Everyday interactions led people to use the regional administration in legally regulated disputes, which ultimately had political implications. Second, by comparing the participation of women and men as well as that of labouring people to other groups, the thesis sheds light on how the ability and need to make yourself heard varied with gender, marital status and socioeconomic status. To participate in this manner was expensive, which undoubtedly affected poor people’s ability to do so. Nevertheless, we find people from the lowest rungs of society who vehemently protected their rights, sometimes as petitioners but more often as respondents. Women's participation at the administration, as in almost all official contexts at this time, was lower than men’s, sometimes only a fraction. Despite their low levels of participation, it nevertheless took many forms, a variety that continued into the nineteenth century.Third, the investigation studies how the ways people made themselves heard through the regional petitioning process evolved over time, making it one of few Swedish studies of petitioners and respondents beyond the beginning of the nineteenth century. Its temporal setting has yielded previously unknown insights into how the development of voice through the petitioning process was connected to administrative bureaucratisation, aspects of the judicial revolution, the gradual but non-linear disappearance of household culture and the emergence of a civil citizen.

The Nordic welfare city : Urban community and public services since 1850
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Nordic Welfare Cities. - New York : Routledge. - 9781032459110 ; , s. 1-16
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This introductory chapter argues for the use of the concept of ‘welfare city’ to understand and explain the development of modern public services and welfare systems. Previous research has hitherto put too much emphasis on the welfare state and on the period after 1945. This book calls for a shift in perspective, from the national level, to the local level, as well as a focus on the decisive period 1850–1940. Urban areas and cites were of paramount importance for the establishment of public services and welfare systems. The analytical framework deployed in this book, therefore, places urban politics in front of national politics and shifts the chronological focus to an earlier period in time. This theme and its adjacent argument are explored through studies of the Nordic countries. The chapters contain various examples on welfare and public services that includes infrastructure and housing projects, but also health care, education, outdoor life and entertainment. Together, the contributing authors claims that it is necessary to analyse local politics in order to explain the discursive changes that paved the way for a wave of investments in public services and social welfare in the period.

The Nordic welfare city – types and dimensions
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Nordic Welfare Cities. - New York : Routledge. - 9781032459110 ; , s. 209-221
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An important conclusion of this book is that the evolution of the Nordic welfare city was a process of several overlapping phases or dimensions. This chapter suggest that this development should be interpreted as a succession of different types of welfare cities with specific characteristics; the patriarchal, the economic, the social, the universal, and the neoliberal welfare city. The model covers the whole period from c. 1850 to the present, addressing municipal organization as well as political regimes. We also contend that it was not material infrastructure by itself, but rather the ongoing contestation and negotiation over a plethora of various welfare services that eventually contributed to a widening and strengthening of urban citizenship. The types of welfare cities suggested thus represent different outcomes from the ongoing struggle over material and cultural networks, involving paupers as well as politicians and professional experts.

Nordic Welfare Cities : Negotiating Urban Citizenship since 1850
- 2024
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book examines Nordic cities from 1850 and their transformation from traditional, oligarchic towns to modern, inclusive welfare cities.In the contemporary world, the role of cities as hotbeds for progressive change has become increasingly topical. Historical studies on how Nordic cities addressed social and environmental questions a hundred years ago and how they eventually created new and inclusive policies for the future is a useful contribution to the current debate. The concept of the welfare city is addressed and elaborated upon to analyse the attempts by urban authorities to solve the problems following industrialization and urbanization. From the late nineteenth century, municipal public services promoted the integration of new groups in the urban community including workers, immigrants, women and children. The contributions in this book analyse various examples of welfare and public services that include infrastructure and transport systems, health care, housing conditions, outdoor life and entertainment. The chapters highlight the arguments and considerations promoting welfare policies, while also addressing differences between the Nordic countries. The evolution of the Nordic welfare city was a process of several overlapping phases or dimensions.

Redan Karl XII kämpade för Ukrainas självständighet

Ingår i: Dagens nyheter. - 1101-2447.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Vladimir Putin och Ryssland har åberopat historien för att motivera sitt pågående krig i Ukraina. Hänvisningar tillbaka till Kievriket på 800-talet används för att forma en berättelse om det storryska riket som Ukraina sägs tillhöra. Putins påståenden är klassisk propaganda och historiskt felaktiga. Från flera håll har också den ryske presidentens beskrivning av historien kritiserats. En som inte skulle hållit med Vladimir Putin är till exempel Karl XII. Vid sekelskiftet 1700 bedrev den svenska kungen en aktiv politik, och förde ett krig, där ett av målen var ett självständigt Ukraina. För Karl XII och svenskarna var Ukraina inte en del av Ryssland – det var en egen stat.

The Hurricane of Passion : Popular Politics and Emotion in Late Georgian England 1792-1812
- 2022
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This book casts new light on the struggle over reform in Britain following the French Revolution by studying how Georgians from across the social spectrum sought to enlist popular passions, either in defence of the established order – or in order to subvert and challenge it. Inspired by the history of emotions, practice theory, and social movements theory it introduces the concept of ‘emotional tactics’, defined as the language, material objects, and practices used to encourage emotions for political purposes. Using a wide range of source material including controverted election cases, campaign material, newspapers, letters, ballads and prints, this book analyses events of political mobilisation in three English cities: the rapidly industrialising textile town of Nottingham, the imperial capital of London, and Liverpool, Europe’s largest slave trading port. It asks what emotional tactics were used to encourage or discourage political mobilisation, and how they were adapted and deployed depending on local context. The results of this analysis are organised into four ideal types of emotional tactics that were crucial to late Georgian popular politics: 1) Tactics fostering anger; 2) terror tactics; 3) shaming tactics; and 4) tactics fostering loyalty, love and community. This book shows that people in Georgian England were aware that emotions could be manipulated for political gain. It was an established part of the political game. For those who engaged in politics, knowledge about how to influence feelings and passions was a crucial skill, as was the ability to adapt their emotional tactics to the demands of the local community. To the persons studied in this book, contemporary understandings of emotionality were the go-to frame of reference to make sense of the political convulsions of their time. Radicals and government loyalists alike viewed the struggle over reform as a fight to control the hurricane of passions unleashed by the French Revolution. While emotional tactics could achieve powerful results, the persons studied in this book also grappled with the challenge of sustaining emotions over time as a mobilising force. This study finds two ways that Georgians sought to overcome this difficulty: 1) The creation of memory cultures in which the re-telling of stories of past abuses was used to evoke their emotional charge; and 2) the use of re-occurring events of mobilisation to sustain the emotional energy of the participants of a movement. Rather than a history of top-down repression or bottom up protest, this book maps the emotional interaction that linked the national and regional levels of politics, that united and divided socially and ideologically diverse groups of people, and upon which all political mobilisation depended. By bringing passion back into politics in a more balanced and nuanced way, it changes the narrative of popular mobilisation in the Age of Revolutions. It shows both elite and plebeian actors as rational actors who consciously and calculatingly appealed to emotion. Yet it also casts them as driven by emotion and shows examples where people from both spheres were caught up in escalating spirals of radicalisation with unintended consequences.

Changing of the Guards: Certificate and Public Key Management on the Internet

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Certificates are the foundation of secure communication over the internet. However, not all certificates are created and managed in a consistent manner and the certificate authorities (CAs) issuing certificates achieve different levels of trust. Furthermore, user trust in public keys, certificates, and CAs can quickly change. Combined with the expectation of 24/7 encrypted access to websites, this quickly evolving landscape has made careful certificate management both an important and challenging problem. In this paper, we first present a novel server-side characterization of the certificate replacement (CR) relationships in the wild, including the reuse of public keys. Our data-driven CR analysis captures management biases, highlights a lack of industry standards for replacement policies, and features successful example cases and trends. Based on the characterization results we then propose an efficient solution to an important revocation problem that currently leaves web users vulnerable long after a certificate has been revoked.
