Gender and status competition in pre-modern societies
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This innovative volume of cultural history offers a unique exploration of how gender and status competition have intersected across different periods and places. The contributions collected here focus on the role of women and the practice of masculinity in setting as varied as ancient Rome, China, Iran and Arabia, medieval and early modern England, and early modern Italy, France, and Scandinavia, as well as exploring issues that affected people of all social rank, from raillery and pranks to shaming, male boasting about sexual conquests, court rituals, violence, and the use and display of wealth. Particular attention is paid to the performance of such issues, with chapters examining status and gender through cultural practices, especielly specific (re)presentations of women. These include Roman priestesses, early Christian virgin martyrs, flirtation in seventh-century Arabia, and the attempt by an early modern French woman to take her place among the immortals. Together this wide-ranging and fascinating array of studies from renowned scholars offers new insights into how and why different cultures responded to the drive for status, and the complications of gender within that drive.

Berättelsen om drottning Margaretas märke : Känsla, kön och politik i den svenska propagandan mot Danmark under 1500- och 1600-talen

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article explores the tale about the Danish queen Margareta who, during her regency of Sweden (1389-1412), was thought to have struck a coin with a mark of her female genitals to the eternal shame and ignominy of the Swedes. This tale was first told in Chronica regni Gothorum, a chronicle written by Ericus Olai in the 1470s, and was later repeated and commented on in the 16th and especially 17th centuries when the Danes were described as the hereditary foes of Sweden. The aim is to analyse the offensive meanings of the story from the analytical perspective of the history of emotions, and more precisely to examine how negative emotions like contempt, scorn and disgust were mobilized and communicated in connection with the tale. The analysis begins from a close reading of the chronicles and commentaries to uncover emotional reactions and terms to be further analysed in the broader contexts of propaganda and early modern Swedish society. A further aim is to make a critical contribution to the discussion about the role of genitals, emotions and biological sex in premodern notions of gender.

- In distinguishing desire-as-appetite from romantic or ‘true love’, William Reddy has posited what he claims to be a unique Western conceptual dualism that first evolved during the High Middle Ages.[i] While desire-as-appetite conforms to the Christian concept of the flesh, romantic love was according to Reddy an attempt to overcome this polarization by spiritualizing and moderating sexual desire into a sublime, purified feeling of ‘true love’. Reddy’s study encompasses the period 800-1200. With the Reformation, celibacy was no longer an ideal, though the distinction between what was seen as spiritually passionate love and indiscriminate carnal desire continued to be of relevance not the least in terms of gender. The aim of this paper is to provide examples of how male sexual desire was problematized within three arenas in early modern Sweden – medical theory, the courts of justice and literary culture. It will be claimed that the early modern period saw a shift in all these arenas, toward a more pronounced understanding of male sexual desire as irrefutable and imperatively compelled to find an immediately outlet. Woman as temptress was overshadowed by the male seducer. The freer rein given to male sexual lust was however tempered by new threats from masturbation and venereal disease, both real and imagined

Changing discourses of marital violence in Sweden from the age of reformation to the late nineteenth century

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article analyses how public attention to marital violence in Sweden changed from a question of maintaining good order and ambitions to discipline self-indulgent house tyrants into responsible masters of households in the seventeenth century, to the vanishing of the house tyrant as a cultural stereotype in favour of the female shrew in the eighteenth century, following the formal abolition of the husband's legal right to chastise his wife and an equalisation of liabilities and responsibilities. It also traces the beginnings of the social marginalisation and silencing of marital violence in the nineteenth century as a phenomenon associated with the lower classes and regulated by the law as a case for private action only when committed within the household circle.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- ‘You are lying like a thief and rogue’. Verbal abuse cited before the courts in 17th and 18th centuries southern and middle parts of Northern SwedenThe aim of this article is to investigate the frequencies and meanings of abusive words cited before the town courts of Gävle and Härnösand, and the district courts of Hälsingland and Ångermanland respectively, during the periods 1665–69 and 1745–49. The main questions at issue concern gendered meanings and to what extent the words honesty and dishonesty had different meanings than today. ‘Thief’ and ‘rogue’ were the most common abusive words directed against men, and ‘whore’ and ‘thief’ against women. ‘Whore’ was, however, also strongly associated with lying and deceiving whereas the expression ‘you hit me like a thief and rogue’ could be used to blame the violent attack of an antagonist as unfair and dishonest. Thus, the abusive triad ‘thief’, ‘rogue’ and ‘whore’ indicate a much broader yet fundamentally similar meaning of dishonesty as today.
