Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the late twentieth century, the emergence of late modernism and neo-liberalism, which have been characterised by consumption and individual expression, has made room for an individualisation of health. Following Nikolas Rose in 1999, the new modes of regulating health builds on self-management and a discourse of freedom of choice. Health and a fit body have emerged as metaphors for a good life and moral citizenship.This chapter examines the new discourse on health and the challenge it poses to previous public health regimes. Has the individual become responsible for the prevention of illness? What are the new ideals and standards regarding health and fitness, and how are agendas and frameworks set? And, what kind of space is there for individual agency and autonomy?The changes in health discourse are studied through empirical examples from media materials. We will look into the issues of commercialisation and individualisation of health through Swedish health and fitness magazines (1960–2010) and Finnish health journalism (2010–2016), and analyse the new norms in health management as well as the meanings and impacts related to it.

På damsidan : femininitet, motstånd och makt i svensk idrott 1920-1990
- 2015

Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Kvinnors idrott har historiskt sett ofta betraktats som opassande och osedlig, och ansetts kunna leda till ett skadligt ”förmanligande” av kropp och sinne. Svett, andfåddhet, muskler och tävlan uppfattades länge som själva motsatsen till idealiserad kvinnlighet, och kvinnors idrottsutövning utgjorde dessutom en ovälkommen konkurrens om ekonomiska resurser. Möjligen kunde kvinnornas deltagande också ha en feminiserande inverkan på själva idrotten.Historikern Helena Tolvhed undersöker spänningsförhållandet mellan å ena sidan idrott som en mansdominerad och maskuliniserad arena, och å andra sidan kvinnokroppar och femininitet. Genom studier av kvinnors friidrott på 1920- och 1930-talen, av den tidiga feministiska föreningen Svenska Kvinnors Centralförbund för Fysisk Kultur, av 1960-talets rallydrottning Ewy Rosqvist och av handbollsspelare som kämpat för jämlika villkor visar Tolvhed idrotten som en historisk arena för underordning och marginalisering, men också för gemenskap och frigörelse.Här placeras damidrotten mitt i de kultur- och genusvetenskapliga diskussioner som teoretiserat kroppen som kulturellt formad och levd men samtidigt materiell och del av identitetsskapande processer. I relation till 1900-talets allmänna samhällsförändringar vad gäller kvinnors villkor inom politik, arbetsmarknad och utbildning diskuterar Tolvhed hur genus har skapats, utmanats och omförhandlats på idrottens ”damsida”.

A Sound Citizen in a Sound Body : Sport and the Issue of Women’s Emancipation in 1920s Sweden

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article focuses on a rare phenomenon: a feminist sport federation active in Sweden during the 1920s. The analysis of rhetoric and ideas on women’s sport show how the association wanted to both politicize sport and enter the sport arena. Women’s sport was regarded as part of an ongoing modernization process, where women needed to develop physical strength and stamina. Through practicing sport, women would be “fit for society,” the Swedish Women’s Federation for Physical Culture (SKCFK) emphatically presented their vision of the female body as productive and capable, with strengths that should be further developed through exercise. Representatives of the federation spoke against biologizing statements about women’s fragile physique. When the activities of SKCFK faded out in the beginning of the 1930s, it meant the end of separate women’s sport in Sweden. It was not until the influence of the feminist second wave during the 1970s that gender equality was put on the agenda of the Swedish Sport movement.

Ewy Rosqvist, rally queen : Gender, identity and car racing at the beginning of the 1960s

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Ewy Rosqvist, born in 1929, is one of Sweden’s most internationally successful rally drivers. The peak of her career was winning the Argentina Grand Prix in 1962, defeating 286 carriages, all with male drivers and co-drivers. This article analyses how the press represented Ewy as a female rally driver, challenging historical notions of women’s weakness and passivity. The results show how the ‘gender trouble’ was negotiated through representing Ewy as a competent driver who was also genuinely feminine as soon as she got out of the car. Furthermore, I discuss Ewy’s subjective experiences, using her autobiography and my interview with her from 2013. The results indicate that she used the opportunities her femininity offered, while at the same time not accepting being limited by her gender – hence occupying conforming as well as subversive approaches. In hindsight, she attributes her accomplishments more firmly to her own individual skills and competitiveness, demonstrating the time-bound character of ‘doing’ femininity.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- During the last decades of the 1900’s, a commercial health industry transformed a previous Swedish public health regimen characterized by strong state control. Running and exercising at gyms are now widely practiced, and new products, diets and trends appear constantly. Part of this is a booming market of health- and fitness magazines, and this article examines one of the more popular titles on the Swedish market, iForm, during the years 1987, 1997 and 2007. An ideology of “healthism” has been identified as salient to neoliberal late-modern society, where health and a fit body are important lifestyle markers and metaphors for the good life. This includes historically new gender ideals – the well-trained female body and the appearance-oriented (“meterosexual”, or later “spornosexual”) man – closely associated with diet and exercise practices.This article discusses the “fit” woman as a historically new ideal and engages in the feminist debate on how to understand her: is she a norm-breaking emancipatory figure, or a post-feminist celebration of the strong individual communicating the message that there is no longer a need for feminist struggle?The study indicates that a discourse of individualism and personal responsibility gets more prominent during the time period. Sport and play are replaced by more “rational” forms of exercise, for example in the gym. The very definition of health becomes more narrow; areas such as sex and relationships has disappeared from the magazine in 2007, as has more general educational articles on the body. Instead, the focus on diet and exercise has increased.Furthermore, the study of iForm shows that the models used to represent “health” are conventionally beautiful, smiling, white and predominately thin rather than obviously muscular. This, I conclude, limit the destabilizing potential of the “fit” woman in iForm.
