Concurrent Imaginaries, Postcolonial Worlds : Toward Revised Histories
- 2017
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Brydon, Forsgren, and Fur’s Concurrent Imaginaries, Postcolonial Worlds demonstrates the value of reading for concurrences in situating discussions of archives, voices, and history in colonial and postcolonial contexts. Starting with the premise that our pluriversal world is constructed from concurrent imaginaries yet the role of concurrences has seldom been examined, the collection brings together case studies that confirm the productivity of reading, looking, and listening for concurrences across established boundaries of disciplinary or geopolitical engagement. Contributors working in art history, sociology, literary, and historical studies bring examples of Nordic colonialism together with analyses of colonial practices worldwide. The collection invites uptake of the study of concurrences within the humanities and in interdisciplinary fields such as postcolonial, cultural, and globalization studies.

A Nation of Women. : Gender and Colonial Encounters Among the Delaware Indians.
- 2009. - 1
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A Nation of Women chronicles changing ideas of gender and identity among the Delaware Indians from the mid-seventeenth through the eighteenth century, as they encountered various waves of migrating peoples in their homelands along the eastern coast of North America. In Delaware society, to be a woman meant to engage in activities performed by women, including diplomacy, rather than to be defined by biological sex. Among the Delaware, being a "woman" was therefore a self-identification, employed by both women and men, that reflected the complementary roles within Delaware society. Decades of interaction with other cultures gradually eroded the positive connotations of being a woman. To salvage some sense of gender complementarity men and women redrew the lines of their duties more rigidly. Some Delawares asserted a masculine identity as a warring nation, others sught ways to retain an older understanding of what it meant to be a women and peacemakers.

- In this chapter the already and always transnational links of indigenous peoples are focused as they became visible and utilized in 20th century European and international politics. An increasing academic focus on classification and developmental determinism painted indigenous peoples as static societies that hinted at European prehistory, and as the century progressed, stood in need of protection and special support in attempts to bring them into modernity. As relics of the past indigenous peoples - at least in certain parts of the world - were also perceived with nostalgia for an idyllic life lost in the rapid and ruthless scramble for industrialization. Indigenous peoples, however, were never just foils for European and Western imagination. Sami people in northern Scandinavia spanned four nation states, advocated for rights and forged transnational alliances already in the beginning of the 20th century. After World War II contacts increased between indigenous peoples in the north of the European continent and in North America. Individuals and groups crossed boundaries and travelled for leisure, for the purpose of labour opportunities, and in order to influence the political process. An international language of indigeneity grew out of these contacts, and demonstrated that while on the one hand marginalized and victims of Europe's colonial and imperial reach, indigenous peoples were also and always agents of change and reflection in a manner that both contributes to and challenges understandings of cosmopolitanism.

- I ett tal på urfolksdagen 1998 bad den svenska jordbruksministern om ursäkt för hurSverige behandlat samerna. Det är idag allt mer vanligt att regeringar och organisationerber om ursäkt för handlingar i det förflutna, både i Sverige och runt om i världen.Sannings- och försoningskommissioner söker komma till rätta med arvet efter historiskaövergrepp genom att lyfta fram dem i ljuset. Men vad innebar egentligen dennaursäkt till samerna och för vems räkning talade ministern? Artikeln behandlar ursäktersom framförts till andra urfolk, vad som skrevs i media i anslutning till att den svenskaursäkten framfördes och hur den sen diskuterats och använts. En motivering till behovetav ursäkter söks i förflutna handlingar som betraktas i ljuset av samtida internationellaöverenskommelser om urfolks rättigheter. En slutsats är att en verkningsfull ursäkt måsteta konsekvensen av hela kedjan mellan oförrätter, ånger, gottgörelse och en förändradrelation mellan grupper. För svensk-samiskt vidkommande borde det innebära att frågorom rättelse för bland annat tvångsförflyttningar och förnekandet av samiskt språk ochkultur måste diskuteras och internationella konventioner skrivas under och förbättras.Sådana handlingar skulle ha djupgående inflytande på nationens historia och tjäna sommodell för relationer till andra nationella minoriteter. Den nya berättelse som en ursäktinnebär, möjliggör en framtid som inte är förutbestämd av det förflutna.

- In 1874, Captain Jack’s riding (Modoc resistance leader) came to the Ethnographic Museum in Stockholm. How did the whip end up in a glass case in Sweden? What happened along its way across the Atlantic? What significance did it acquire and how did that change over time and space? Borderlands as cross-border relations emphasizes conceptual boundaries, fluidity and multiple identities. The whip twines together a history of colonialism; from its reminder of the Spanish introduction of the horse to its decontextualized enclosure in a museum showcase it offers an entry point for rethinking encounters between Swedes and American Indians.

Colonial Fantasies : American Indians, indigenous peoples, and a Swedish discourse of innocence

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines representations of American Indians in a Swedish family magazine from the 1860s/1870s, tying these ‘Indian stories’ to perceptions carried by emigrants to the Americas. It argues that these representations conveyed a certain notion of the colonial process that allowed Swedes to both participate in and disavow the more unsavoury aspects of what the magazine called ‘race wars’. An emerging discourse of innocence connected popular images with debates about emigration and scholarship in racial biology, which allowed both Swedes and Swedish-Americans to view themselves as modern and unconnected to the burdens of a colonial past.

- Historian Nils Ahnlund stirred a debate in 1937 by suggesting that Sweden was a weak and deficient coloniser. This outraged his listeners, who viewed seventeenth-century Sweden as a powerful nation. Such fault lines continue to suffuse characterisations of Sweden’s participation in global expansion. Suggesting that Sweden in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was a colonising power is controversial, but less so today than previously. Recently renewed interest in Sweden’s colonial past and present raises questions of scope and meaning. How have historians interpreted Swedish expansion, what is included, and what is the meaning of the re-evaluation occurring in contemporary scholarship? While often relating Sweden to a Nordic or European context, it remains common to insist on Swedish exceptionalism in terms of colonial experiences and elect not to discuss expansion into the north of the Scandinavian Peninsula or in the Baltic region in terms of colonialism. In general, postcolonial influences have tended to move the discussion from “no colonialism” to “post-colonialism” without ever stopping at a discussion of early modern Swedish involvement in colonial expansion and its consequences. This chapter investigates how Swedish colonial expansion has been dealt with in historical scholarship, but also discusses what historical and contemporary debates reveal about Sweden’s relationship to European modernity.

Different ways of seeing 'savagery' : Two Nordic travellers in 18th-century North America

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Andreas Hesselius and Pehr Kalm both spent time in eastern North America during the first half of the 18th century. Both came with an ardent desire to observe and learn about the natural environment and inhabitants of the region. Both produced writings, in the form of journals that have proved immensely useful to subsequent scholars. Yet their writings also display differences that illuminate the epistemological and sociological underpinnings of their observations, and which had consequences for their encounters with foreign environments. Hesselius, who served as pastor to the Swedish congregation in Philadelphia from 1712 to 1724, described his experiences and observations with what we might call a historical awareness, while Kalm, known as the first of Linnaeus's students to travel to the New World, primarily offered dehistoricized and denarrativized taxonomic ethnographic descriptions. At first glance, Hesselius and Kalm appear to illustrate perfectly Michel Foucault's description of the difference between Renaissance and classical epistemologies. Kalm's disembodied and decontextualized representations fit well with Foucault's description of natural history in the classical age as consisting 'of undertaking a meticulous examination of things themselves horizontal ellipsis and then of transcribing what it has gathered in smooth, neutralized, and faithful words'. This article, however, points out that while Hesselius and Kalm arrive at similar descriptions of plants and other-than-human beings by employing different methodologies, when it comes to describing indigenous peoples their respective methodologies lead to radically different approaches, with Hesselius writing them into history, while Kalm relegates them to ethnology in the sense of savage 'peoples without histories'.

- Att använda termen kolonialism om svensk expansion på Nordkalotten väckerdebatt inom akademin samt i lagstiftning och politik. Från och med 1600-taletstärkte kyrkan och kronan sin närvaro i lappmarkerna, och i försöken att omvändavad som betraktades som en hednisk och ociviliserad befolkning nedtecknadesvenska präster och protokollskrivare samiska berättelser och anspråk. Genomdessa dokument framträder en historia om kolonisation och kulturmöten i Sápmi.Denna artikel berättar om hur samer och svenskar påverkades av möten under1600- och 1700-talen och bygger på källmaterial som domböcker, prästberättelseroch reseskildringar. I fokus står kronans och kyrkans allt starkare intrång i samisktområde genom gruvverksamhet och etablering av marknadsplatser dit handel,tingsförrättningar och kyrkliga ärenden koncentrerades. Särskild betoning läggs påden kyrkliga organisationen och de krav den ställde på samer. Genom kyrkan nåddekronans krav in i varje enskild samisk individs liv och innebar allvarliga ingrepp i densamiska livsvärlden. Samiska reaktioner innefattade försök att begränsa den informationsom gavs till svenskar om samisk kultur och tro, såväl som aktivt motståndgenom att vägra sända barn till skolan eller genom att flytta över gränsen till Norge.Särskilt tydligt märks konflikten mellan samiskt och svenskt i kyrkans och kronansansträngningar att kontrollera de samiska äktenskapen.

- Is it possible to combine a struggle for universal epistemic justice with a fundamental acknowledgement of situatedness and bounded claims? All historians, not just all history, are situated - firmly located in time, place, and circumstance. This understanding comes from personal experience and from a professional study of histories of cultural encounters and indigenous peoples. I am unwilling to assume the universal applicability of certain historical practices, yet remain deeply concerned with dialogues between ciffeent communities of knowledge. This places the focus on encounters, on the necessity for asking real questions and for careful listening. Following the Kiowa novelist N. Scott Momaday, this article duly argues for a link between the spoken word, listening, and responsibility for action. This responsibility is sharpened by an awareness of complicity in the systems of inequality that the scholar wishes to address.

Painting Culture, Painting Nature : Stephen Mopope, Oscar Jacobson, and the Development of Indian Art in Oklahoma
- 2019
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the late 1920s, a group of young Kiowa artists, pursuing their education at the University of Oklahoma, encountered Swedish-born art professor Oscar Brousse Jacobson (1882–1966). With Jacobson’s instruction and friendship, the Kiowa Six, as they are now known, ignited a spectacular movement in American Indian art. Jacobson, who was himself an accomplished painter, shared a lifelong bond with group member Stephen Mopope (1898–1974), a prolific Kiowa painter, dancer, and musician. Painting Culture, Painting Nature explores the joint creativity of these two visionary figures and reveals how indigenous and immigrant communities of the early twentieth century traversed cultural, social, and racial divides.Painting Culture, Painting Nature is a story of concurrences. For a specific period, immigrants such as Jacobson and disenfranchised indigenous people such as Mopope transformed Oklahoma into the center of exciting new developments in Indian art, which quickly spread to other parts of the United States and to Europe. Jacobson and Mopope came from radically different worlds, and were on unequal footing in terms of power and equality, but they both experienced, according to author Gunlög Fur, forms of diaspora or displacement. Seeking to root themselves anew in Oklahoma, the dispossessed artists fashioned new mediums of compelling and original art.Although their goals were compatible, Jacobson’s and Mopope’s subjects and styles diverged. Jacobson painted landscapes of the West, following a tradition of painting nature uninfluenced by human activity. Mopope, in contrast, strove to capture the cultural traditions of his people. The two artists shared a common nostalgia, however, for a past life that they could only re-create through their art.Whereas other books have emphasized the promotion of Indian art by Euro-Americans, this book is the first to focus on the agency of the Kiowa artists within the context of their collaboration with Jacobson. The volume is further enhanced by full-color reproductions of the artists’ works and rare historical photographs.
