- The movement of plants, animals, and microorganisms by humans, consciously or unconsciously, has changed both ecosystems and societies throughout history. This article focuses on one such transformative species, lodgepole pine, and its relocation from northwestern America to northern Sweden in the mid-twentieth century. A cultural biography of the lodgepole pine’s existence in Sweden examines how this tree has been linked to different value regimes, which creates a historical pattern. Through so-called ‘thinning processes’, powerful actors, in both production forestry and the environmental movement, have tried to reduce the importance of the species to a limited meaning and context. At the same time, more arguments, knowledge and changed contexts have made the lodgepole pine a ‘thick thing’, with superimposed values and meanings. Although the tree has moved far geographically, from one continent to another, its importance has continued to be framed by interacting international, national and local perspectives. The lodgepole pine, however, is not just an inert thing that is determined by cultural discourses. It is a living tree, with its own ability to act and whose life in a foreign land has created a dynamic that crosses the border between nature and culture.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The International Congresses have played an important role in the history of genetics. The Eighth International Congress, which in 1948 was held in Sweden, celebrated the conclusion of the war against Nazism and many new decisive scientific advances. It also signaled a hardening of the fight against Lysenkoism, which was growing in strength in the Soviet Union. A rare document is available from the Congress-an amateur film made by a young delegate, Nils Nybom. With its help a living description can be given of the scientific and political melees in which the delegates were involved.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Genetic counselling in Sweden may be traced to the eugenics movementin the early twentieth century. A rudimentary form of what we might call geneticcounselling today was practised within the state governed Medical Board in the1940s and 1950s by the scientific advisor Nils von Hofsten. In the 1950s, Jan ArvidBöök, professor of medical genetics at Uppsala University, realised the importanceof studies in broadly distributed genetic diseases. At the same time as he establisheda modern laboratory for chromosome analysis, he also held genetic counsellingsessions. In B€o€oks’s ways of navigating between the older traditions of eugenicsand the new movement towards individual choice, there are signs of both continuityand discontinuity in relation to the Swedish eugenic project and population policyof the 1930s and 1940s. When the correct chromosome number of man wasdemonstrated in 1956, medical genetics as well as genetic counselling changed inmany ways. New types of diagnosis could be made and new at-risk groups wereidentified. The geneticists trained at B€o€ok’s department contributed significantly totransfer both laboratory research and counselling activities from the academicsetting to the clinic. Development of medical techniques like amniocentesis andprenatal diagnosis further increased the need for more systematised geneticcounselling within the healthcare system.In this chapter we provide an overview of the beginning of genetic counselling inSweden. More specifically, we analyse the ways in which the first three generationsof genetic counsellors constructed their roles as medical and genetic experts and thenorms and values that characterized their counselling activities. We argue that this period was characterised by the development of a professional ethos that, whileemphasising the importance of individual autonomy, also underscored the psychological and socioeconomic benefits of new diagnostic technologies to decrease the number of genetically diseased children. During the period, there was a markedshift from state-controlled eugenics to individual autonomy. However, we want toemphasise that not only did the individual autonomy increase but also the individualresponsibility. At-risk individuals and families were supposed to make informedchoices about their reproduction. And even if the individuals were at the centre,societal interests were clearly present, both as norms and values about whatconstituted a good life and as economic calculations within the healthcare system.
