The Hurricane of Passion : Popular Politics and Emotion in Late Georgian England 1792-1812
- 2022
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This book casts new light on the struggle over reform in Britain following the French Revolution by studying how Georgians from across the social spectrum sought to enlist popular passions, either in defence of the established order – or in order to subvert and challenge it. Inspired by the history of emotions, practice theory, and social movements theory it introduces the concept of ‘emotional tactics’, defined as the language, material objects, and practices used to encourage emotions for political purposes. Using a wide range of source material including controverted election cases, campaign material, newspapers, letters, ballads and prints, this book analyses events of political mobilisation in three English cities: the rapidly industrialising textile town of Nottingham, the imperial capital of London, and Liverpool, Europe’s largest slave trading port. It asks what emotional tactics were used to encourage or discourage political mobilisation, and how they were adapted and deployed depending on local context. The results of this analysis are organised into four ideal types of emotional tactics that were crucial to late Georgian popular politics: 1) Tactics fostering anger; 2) terror tactics; 3) shaming tactics; and 4) tactics fostering loyalty, love and community. This book shows that people in Georgian England were aware that emotions could be manipulated for political gain. It was an established part of the political game. For those who engaged in politics, knowledge about how to influence feelings and passions was a crucial skill, as was the ability to adapt their emotional tactics to the demands of the local community. To the persons studied in this book, contemporary understandings of emotionality were the go-to frame of reference to make sense of the political convulsions of their time. Radicals and government loyalists alike viewed the struggle over reform as a fight to control the hurricane of passions unleashed by the French Revolution. While emotional tactics could achieve powerful results, the persons studied in this book also grappled with the challenge of sustaining emotions over time as a mobilising force. This study finds two ways that Georgians sought to overcome this difficulty: 1) The creation of memory cultures in which the re-telling of stories of past abuses was used to evoke their emotional charge; and 2) the use of re-occurring events of mobilisation to sustain the emotional energy of the participants of a movement. Rather than a history of top-down repression or bottom up protest, this book maps the emotional interaction that linked the national and regional levels of politics, that united and divided socially and ideologically diverse groups of people, and upon which all political mobilisation depended. By bringing passion back into politics in a more balanced and nuanced way, it changes the narrative of popular mobilisation in the Age of Revolutions. It shows both elite and plebeian actors as rational actors who consciously and calculatingly appealed to emotion. Yet it also casts them as driven by emotion and shows examples where people from both spheres were caught up in escalating spirals of radicalisation with unintended consequences.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den som vill undersöka politiska konflikter genom historien, eller analysera politiska beslut i skilda frågor, vänder sig ofta till protokollav olika slag. Debatter från våra gemensamma beslutande politiskaorgan är ett vanligt källmaterial för historiker som vill undersöka en mängd olika företeelser. Lokala frågor finns nedtecknade i sockenstugans protokoll medan det storpolitiska spelet kan följas i riksdagens mångordiga debatter. Material från olika tidsperioder ger omfattande, livfulla och innehållsrika källor att arbeta med.Kapitlet är avgränsat till protokoll som innehåller politiska debatter. En enkel definition är att det är protokoll från beslutande politiska församlingar, till exempel riksdagen, landstingen och kommunerna, men i någon mån också de centrala myndigheterna, som riksrådet och kollegierna under äldre tid, samt ämbetsverk och affärsverk under modern tid.

Radicalism in the old regime : the challenge of parliamentary sovereignty in Sweden, 1769–70

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article analyses how notions of parliamentary sovereignty, were posited against universal principles of the separation of powers, using the debate in the Swedish Diet (Riksdag) in 1769 on the Act of Security as an example. The act was launched as an attack on the prevailing parliamentary sovereignty. Since the mid- eighteenth century, the Riksdag had established itself as the sovereign power in Swedish politics and its critics argued for the need of personal and material security. The analysis shows how egalitarian ideas and democratic elements became part of the political discourse. This article argues that this debate was decisive for the coming end of the Swedish Age of Liberty (1719–72), and that it exemplifies a political conflict between radicals and conservatives. It also shows how the debate was a battle for alternative paths of state formation. Either a strong state, dominated by elite groups with capacity to control policy, or a more participatory government, with traces of early democratization. The analysis draws on two key analytical concepts: the ‘rule of law’ and ‘political participation’. In the debate, the rule of law became an instrument for limiting political participation when the aristocracy tried to strengthen its powers.

Redan Karl XII kämpade för Ukrainas självständighet

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Vladimir Putin och Ryssland har åberopat historien för att motivera sitt pågående krig i Ukraina. Hänvisningar tillbaka till Kievriket på 800-talet används för att forma en berättelse om det storryska riket som Ukraina sägs tillhöra. Putins påståenden är klassisk propaganda och historiskt felaktiga. Från flera håll har också den ryske presidentens beskrivning av historien kritiserats. En som inte skulle hållit med Vladimir Putin är till exempel Karl XII. Vid sekelskiftet 1700 bedrev den svenska kungen en aktiv politik, och förde ett krig, där ett av målen var ett självständigt Ukraina. För Karl XII och svenskarna var Ukraina inte en del av Ryssland – det var en egen stat.
