Allmän rösträtt? Rösträttens begränsningar i Sverige efter 1921
- 2021
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- För hundra år sedan lyckades arbetarrörelsen och kvinnorörelsen driva igenom sina krav på allmän rösträtt i Sverige. I första världskrigets slutskede gav högern – skrämda av revolutionära krafter i Ryssland och Västeuropa – till slut upp sitt motstånd mot demokratiseringen och 1921 hölls det första valet med så kallad allmän och lika rösträtt.Men hur omfattande var den rösträtt som infördes 1918–21? I denna här boken tecknas rösträttens historia i Sverige efter den ”allmänna” rösträttens införande. Det visar sig här att rätten att rösta under 1900-talet inte alls omfattat alla befolkningsgrupper.Fattiga, gamla och konkursdrabbade har tidvis exkluderats, värnpliktsvägrare, fångar och omyndigförklarade likaså. Åldersgränserna har varierat, liksom relationen mellan rösträtten och det svenska medborgarskapet. Dessutom har reglerna för hur röstningen rent praktiskt ska gå till gjort det svårt för vissa grupper, bland annat renskötande samer, att utnyttja sin rätt.Den här boken handlar om den allmänna rösträttens föränderliga gränser och ställer frågor om demokratins räckvidd – i det förflutna och i vår samtid.

A Suitable Country : The Relationship between Sweden's Interwar Population Policy and Family Planning in Postindependence India

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article delineates a strong continuity, particularly in terms of personnel, between interwar domestic population policies and Sweden’s postwar participation in international and transnational population-control programs. It argues that Swedish engagement in population control and family planning in the emerging Third World, and particularly in South Asia, was motivated by the conviction that poverty and underdevelopment must be attacked on several fronts simultaneously, with population control being one of the most important. In its first bilateral aid programs Sweden would prioritize the promotion of birth control primarily because it was still too controversial to be promoted multilaterally, not least for religious reasons; and because Swedish experts were regarded as especially liberal, rational, and secularized. Sterilization expertise played no decisive part in this continuity. When first establishing themselves in South Asia, Swedish experts would recommend the rhythm method and other contraceptive methods that depended on self-control.

An agent of indirect propaganda : Normalizing Nazi Germany in the Swedish medical journal Svenska Läkartidningen 1933–1945

-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter explores how Svenska Läkartidningen (SLT) in the 1930s and 1940s, by way of its publication of travel reports, could function as an agent of “brown” or pro-Nazi propaganda – at the same time as it kept on representing the Swedish medical corps as a professional and scientific collective. SLT hardly ever included any editorials – the one in first issue was a bit of an exception. The number of travel reports dealing with Nazi Germany that were published in SLT suffice to show a strong German inclination, especially when set in proportion to the number of reports dealing with other countries, and in relation to comparable collections of travel reports. Arguably due to its editorial bias, a disproportionate amount of travel reports from Germany were published in SLT during the Nazi era. The individual writers sometimes appear as active agents of propaganda, sometimes as more passive mediators of propaganda directed at them in Germany or its occupied territories.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- An extra punishment: On felony as a ground for voting restrictionsEven today there are a number of countries where convicted felons lose their voting rights, including the USA. Until 1937 this was also the case in Sweden, where many criminals and former criminals had no voting rights. This loss of voting rights was linked to a special sanction, which constituted a modernized variant of older provisions on “defamation”, “loss of honour” and “loss of civic trust” that were associated with certain crimes. The sanction was finally abolished in 1937, due to a new, more prevention- and treatment-oriented view of correctional care that became dominant in Sweden during the first half of the 20th century. It clashed with an older view of crime and punishment, where the shame of being convicted was seen as a supplementary part of the sentence. According to this new view, the public mistrust created by preventing previously convicted criminals from voting was regarded as an obstacle to the reintegration of former criminals to full citizenship and productivity.

- Immature adults: On legal minority as a ground for voting restrictionsThe last voting restriction to be abolished in Sweden was that which pertained to adults that had been legally declared to be minors. It was connected to meritocratic arguments about democratic maturity, rational thinking and sufficient knowledge as necessary conditions for suffrage, as well as to arguments that voters had to be independent. The restriction disappeared as a result of the fact that the possibility to declare people legally minor was abolished in 1989. Only then was the right to vote extended to all adult Swedish citizens.

De samhällsbesvärliga : Förhandlingar om psykopati och kverulans i 1930- och 40-talens Sverige
- 2018
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- Besvärliga människor är möjligen ett evigt problem. Vem som ansetts som besvärlig har däremot varierat över tid. Hur omgivningen har valt att definiera och handskas med besvärligheten har varierat ännu mer. I mellankrigstidens Sverige fungerade den psykiatriska diagnosen psykopati som ett kontroversiellt men kraftfullt verktyg för hantering av människor som inte lyckades leva upp till de medborgerliga idealen. Diagnosen byggde på föreställningar om ett brett spektrum av biologiskt grundade störningar i gränslandet mellan normalitet och egentlig sinnessjukdom. Störningarna antogs ta sig uttryck i exempelvis homosexualitet, hysteriska anfall, mytomani eller allmän hållningslöshet. En annan kontroversiell diagnos var kverulansparanoia, en sjukdom som kopplades till framväxten av den moderna rättsstaten, och vars främsta uttryck antogs vara ett omåttligt klagande över oförrätter. Här handlade det alltså snarare om ett överdrivet utnyttjande av ens medborgerliga rättigheter. Ett särskilt dilemma var att det slags beteende som vanligtvis låg till grund för diagnos och påföljande tvångsintagning på sinnessjukhus, nämligen idogt brevskrivande till myndigheter, också var det som krävdes för att ta sig ut. I De samhällsbesvärliga undersöker idéhistorikern Annika Berg hur patienter beskrivna som psykopater eller kverulanter kunde förhandla om utskrivning med läkare och myndigheter i 1930- och 40-talens Sverige. Det här var en tid då den psykiatriska vården byggdes ut kraftigt till följd av ett upplevt behov, men också skapades om till en mindre sluten apparat med möjligheter till försöksutskrivning och öppnare vårdformer. Det var också en tid då psykiatrin angreps från olika håll, och anklagades för att spärra in folk på lösa och oklara grunder. Mot bakgrund av detta, hur gick hanteringen av psykopater och kverulanter ihop med tidens tankar om medborgerliga frioch rättigheter? Hur betraktade patienterna sig själva? Och hur påverkades förhandlingarna i enskilda fall av föreställningar om exempelvis klass, kön och sexualitet?

Den gränslösa hälsan : Signe och Axel Höjer, folkhälsan och expertisen
- 2009
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation investigates the mutual life project of Signe (1896-1988) and Axel Höjer (1890-1974), a married couple who were key actors in the construction of the Swedish welfare state. It emphasises the ways in which they went about asserting a special public health expertise in different contexts. As starting points I take the malleability of the concept folkhälsa (people’s health or population health) and the centrality of expertise in the governance of modern societies. Theoretical concepts such as gender, policy transfer, biopower and governmentality are central to the analysis. The dissertation includes three parts. The first part investigates how the Höjers agreed to coordinate their work and how they, with reference to ideas picked up in France and England at the end of World War I, attempted to reform mother and child health care in Sweden. Their strategies where rhetorical but also practical, using Hagalund outside Stockholm as their experimental ground. The second part investigates, firstly, how Axel Höjer, as General-Director of the Medical Board of Sweden (1935-52) asserted a sociomedical expertise, integrating the emerging social sciences and universalist views on the organisation of the welfare state into the realm of medicine, in order to launch ideas of a thorough reorganisation and expansion of the Swedish health care system. His focus was on preventive medicine and health care, with the complete physical, mental and social health of the whole population as an explicit goal. Secondly, it explores how Signe Höjer at the same time tried to launch ideas on health and wellbeing as a social politician and a public committee member. She also tried to define family policy as a specific policy area. However, despite her training as a nurse and a social worker, she was largely confined to asserting a particularly ”female” expertise, which made her position rather ambiguous in terms of authority. The third part investigates how the Höjers, in the 1950s and 60s, worked with international health, Axel mainly for the WHO in India and Ghana, Signe as a policy entrepreneur, primarily in the fields of childcare and family planning. My findings partly confirm theories that see development aid as an extension of domestic social policy, but they challenge the view of aid as a simple one-way process. I demonstrate how the Höjers at least tried to adapt their projects abroad to meet local circumstances, and also show how they brought lessons from the third world to a domestic public. In the latter case they did not primarily act as experts of Swedish-style social policy, but as experts on the developing countries and on development aid.

The People’s Health, the Nation’s Health, the World’s Health : Folkhälsa and folkehelse in the Writings of Axel Höjer and Karl Evang

- This chapter investigates and compares the concepts of folkhälsa and folkehelse (literally, ‘people’s health’ in Swedish and Norwegian, respectively) in the works of two highly influential twentieth-century medical actors in Sweden and Norway, Axel Höjer and Karl Evang. Both were key actors in the construction of the welfare states in their respective countries. Both served as Chief Medical Officer: Höjer held this position in Sweden from 1935 to 1952, while Evang held it in Norway from 1938 to 1972. They were also both involved in international health work: At the end of the Second World War, Evang was one of the initiators behind the World Health Organization (WHO), and in the late 1940s and 1950s both he and Höjer were prominent actors in that organisation, where they also cooperated strategically on certain issues. In the 1950s and early 1960s, Höjer also worked with health issues in the field in India and Africa, mainly for the WHO.How did these two actors use and understand the concepts of folkhälsa and folkehelse in their publications? What were the historical roots of the concepts, and how did they evolve over time? How were they understood in relation to different national and international contexts? And how, if at all, did the Swedish and Norwegian conceptions of ‘people’s health’ differ from each other?Both Höjer and Evang published extensively, and we have also been able to build on unpublished source material from their comprehensive personal archives.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter deals with challenges encountered when writing history of psychiatry from a patients’ perspective, using source material at least partially produced by patients. More fundamentally, it discusses the tension between, on the one hand, the problem of other minds, e.g. the impossibility of “getting into the head” of another living being, on the other hand, the historian's irrefutable need to try to understand how the world appeared to historical actors – even though their lives may have been very different from her own. This tension may be particularly well illustrated by attempts to study psychiatry from the patients' point of view, but it also entails a more general dilemma. The chapter criticizes inlevelse, a word that connotes a very strong experience of “walking in someone else’s shoes”, as an unattainable methodological ideal that, if taken at face value, would ultimately render all historical research impossible. In arguing for a more skeptical view on the possibility to pinpoint the situated viewpoints of other people, the author suggests that the work involved in trying to do this should be seen as a process of contextualization – albeit not the only kind of contextualization needed.

Att styra genom känslor : Regeringskonst i tre gustavianska projekt
- 2023
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The eighteenth century is sometimes referred to as the Age of Sentiment. Emotions were attributed great importance, both as driving forces for human behaviour, and as a moral compass. They were also important in political rule. This also pertains to Sweden and the reign of Gustav III. Gustav (1746–1792) became king in 1771. One year later, in 1772, he staged a coup d’état, reintroducing a strong royal power after almost half a century of parliamentary rule. Two decades later he was assassinated by political opponents. This dissertation analyses ideas of government and human nature that were actualized in this late eighteenth-century context. More specifically, it examines discussions about technologies of government and subject formation in relation to three royal projects, launched in different periods of the reign of Gustav III: the Order of Vasa (1772), the National Dress (1778), and the Swedish Academy (1786). In the analysis, I am inspired by Michel Foucault's concept of governmentality. I particularly draw on Foucault’s description of a historically specific breakthrough – starting in the mid-eighteenth century – for a type of exercise of power that can be called liberal. I also draw on the research fields of History of Emotions and National Identity. In the discussions surrounding the three projects, one can see expressions of a type of logic of government that I, based on Foucauldian theory, call liberal. By this I mean that the population was regarded as constituted by subjects whose self-interested driving forces in the form of emotions and desires could be put into play – activated and channelled by the state in order to achieve various objectives. As long as these goals were perceived as beneficial for the society, the inherent morality of people’s desires was considered of less importance. However, other and older ideas of the best way of governing self-interested emotions and desires, such as what I call virtue-oriented politics of emotion, were also at play, interfering with the new, “liberal” ideas in various ways. In claiming that Gustav III’s politics of emotions can to some extent be characterized as liberal, I do not imply that the king had a liberal worldview or that he believed that society should be structured in an egalitarian manner. However, this dissertation argues that Gustav III and some of the people surrounding him experimented with government according to a liberal logic. I claim that the king made use of enlightenment ideas not only as inspiration for reforms or as means of branding himself as an enlightened monarch, but also as tools for theorizing about effective governance of the population. This shift in focus complicates the picture of the emergence of liberal government in Sweden. My examples show that liberal government may sometimes be preferred purely on the basis of the idea that it is effective, and on that basis even an eighteenth-century sovereign could experiment with it. This dissertation thus contributes to a more complex picture of the rule of Gustav III, as well as to a refined understanding of the history of liberal government.

- An elevated level of total plasma homocysteine (tHcy) has been associated with risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). The level of tHcy is affected by lifestyle, in addition to genetic predisposition. The methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C>T polymorphism (rs1801133) is among the strongest genetic predictors of tHcy. We examined whether the association between tHcy and CHD is modified by the MTHFR 677C>T polymorphism.

An Unfinished Suffrage Reform : Voting Rights in Sweden After the ‘Democratic Breakthrough’
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of History. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0346-8755 .- 1502-7716. ; 49:3, s. 376-396
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines the complex and non-linear process of democratization in Sweden after the introduction of so-called universal suffrage in 1921. The research questions address the excluded groups post-1921, the reasons for their exclusion, and the historical processes that led to further expansions of suffrage rights. The study shows that the expansion of suffrage rights in Sweden after 1921 was not guided primarily by a desire to broaden voter inclusion and/or rectify the limitations of the1921 legislation. Instead, the motivations were embedded in a more intricate and multifaceted tapestry of political aims and alliances as well as situational factors that included various social, economic, and cultural shifts. The article concludes that the history of suffrage in Sweden after 1921 has been one of continuous negotiations, transformations, and adaptations, and that this provides valuable insights for addressing challenges of political inclusion and representation in the present and future.
