Dis(re)membering Spaces: Swedish Modernism in Law Courts Controversy
- 1999
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The dissertation addresses the public controversy, as reflected in newspaper coverage, over the 1936 Law Courts Annex in Göteborg, Sweden. The controversy is conceived as a tension-filled, multi-layered conjuncture of urban rivalry within the nation-state. The politico-differential pair modernism/conservatism and the spatio-differential pair Stockholm/Göteborg are traced out and shown to be formative for subject positions both in the controversy, and in scholarly work during the subsequent six decades.To disentangle the conjuncture, subjects’ spatial sense-making is contextualized with respect to a politicized built environment, and to practices characterized by polysemy, contestation and resemanticization, through which volatile meanings and identity effects are continuously renegotiated. This understanding is elaborated in relation to a notion of power as concerning asymmetries of spatial reach with regard to individuals’ influence and control over practices.From this position, the law courts controversy is unfolded through a multi-factor analysis on several spatial scales, from the nation-state to architectural solutions. It is demonstrated that in the Swedish 1930s, no building but the Law Courts Annex was executed in overt modernism on a site of key symbolico-political significance. The established projection of modernism onto Stockholm and conservatism onto Göteborg is deconstructed. The study shows how the law courts project crystallized into a unique conjuncture entangled in questions of: national and local struggles between fractions of the dominant class; governmental efforts to impose new norms and forms of dwelling and discipline; aesthetic purification and élitism; and conjoined interests of real estate capitalists, functionalist planners, and reformist politicians.The law courts controversy is shown to have been embedded in transpositions of ethics, politics, space and aesthetics. New spaces of commoditized visibility were related to the Law Courts Annex, and a gendered imagery of buildings and female human bodies as homologous were invoked together with notions of sexual and bodily hygiene. The controversy is unfolded as concerned with conditions of identity formation and subjectivity in a space of unseen visibility, and the building is unveiled as a classed and gendered space for the production of humans as mass ornaments with apractic postural models.In conclusion, established scholarly discourse on the Law Courts Annex and the controversy is unveiled as a third-order simulacrum through which the annex since the late 1930s has been produced and preserved as a counterfeit, as a historical simulacrum of the particular imagery of a discourse disconnected from existing traces of the past.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The article is a symbolic excavation of the Vänersborg Museum, located in the town of Vänersborg, Sweden. The museum opened in 1891 and re-opened as a ‘museum of museum history’ a hundred years later. Through a theorized recontextualization, the museum is displayed as a polysemic spatio-patriarchal marker for the rich donor on par with the buildings of the national state and church; as a token of a private villa; and as a public museum. In this multi-layered object, the practice of bourgeois flânerie in the central part of town is repeated by the gazing flâneur in the museum exhibits. The spatialized elevation of the museum function and of the individual donor and practices of his class are related to possible effects on the asymmetries of museum practices with regard to the ‘social’ other within the local context, and with regard to the framing of the colonized ‘cultural’ other exhibited and domesticated in the museum. The article suggests that forgotten and repressed effects and meanings should be unveiled in a ‘museum of museum history’ in a politicized effort to understand the role of the museum in producing social inequalities and racialized prejudices in Sweden, past and present.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Artikeln visar hur föreställningar om hygien och formandet av kroppar under 1930-talet applicerades såväl på halvnakna skyltdockor som på kvinnligt könade halvnakna byggnader. Tidsperioden kännetecknades av omfattande förändringar, bland annat i den byggda miljön. Artikeln söker påvisa hur en patriarkal heterosexism med hygienistiska drag bidrog till att forma föreställningar om effektivitet och skönhet på en mängd olika områden i en rummets sexualpolitik.

- Få projekt har skapat sådana konflikter i Stockholms stadsplanehistoria som citysaneringen. De skiljaktiga meningarna skar rakt igenom partier och privata organisationer. Politikerna och näringslivets företrädare förhandlade och gjorde bytesaffärer. Av de 52 hektar som skulle totalsaneras enligt Cityplanen 1967 blev endast 24 förverkligade.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The ideal of scientific openness - i.e. the idea that scientific information should be freely accessible to interested parties - is strongly supported throughout the scientific community. At the same time, however, this ideal does not appear to be absolute in the everyday practice of science. In order to get the credit for new scientific advances, scientists often keep information to themselves. Also, it is common practice to withhold information obtained in commissioned research when the scientist has agreed with his or her employer to do so. The secrecy may be intended for ever, as in the military area, but also temporarily until a patent application has been made. The paper explores to what extent such secrecy is undesirable, as seems to be suggested by the ideal of scientific openness. Should this ideal be interpreted as having certain exceptions which make the above-mentioned practices acceptable? Are there, on closer inspection, good arguments for the ideal of scientific openness, and for officially upholding it? Possible versions of the ideal of scientific openness is explored and the issue is found to be rather complex, allowing for wide variations depending on the acting parties, beneficiaries, types of information and moral requirements involved. We case that the arguments usually given in favour of this ideal are weaker than what seems to be generally believed, and that, on closer inspection, they leave plenty of room for exceptions to it. These exceptions only partly cover the actual practice of withholding scientific information, and there may still be good reason to advocate, teach and enforce the ideal of scientific openness within the scientific community.
