Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study concerns the plague that hit Karlskrona and the navy alike in 1710, and which would come to threaten the navy’s very existence. Its theoretical basis is the Foucaultian field of research on disease and disease control as a part of a shift in the balance of power, for it demonstrates that it was doctors, not priests, who stood at the Admiralty leadership’s right hand as advisors and experts. Religious rhetoric, as an explanatory model, was indeed in evidence, but played a subordinate role. The subsequent systemization centred on a belief in human – or rather learned doctors’ – powers of observation and ability to draw conclusions. Categorization, separation, and control were the key-words in the process. Against this was the populace’s grass-roots, religiously inspired behaviour; behaviour that in their rulers’ eyes was a threat to the natural order and had to be suppressed. Doctors with their ‘science’ and the military with their brute power made for a powerful combination in the struggle against what they saw as disorder. On the heels of this battle against the plague, the navy furthermore appeared in the guise of the defender of fundamental ‘welfare’, to use a modern expression. At the peak of the crisis, the naval base was the lone institution able to offer the promise of food and medicine. The first basic hospitals also began to take shape. The issue is studied as one of many possible ‘tracks’ or steps in a Swedish modernization process.
