Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The ability to analyze, historicize, and examine images and image flows cannot be overestimated today. But how is it possible to take an analytical approach to contemporary and historical visual cultures, which are often characterized by a substantial fragmentation? In visual culture studies, the empirical possibilities can remain numerous, provided that it is above all the research questions and not a predetermined material – that drive the analysis. This book is aimed at those who wish to deepen and develop their knowledge of images and visual communication. Through empirically grounded texts, the book provides analytical tools to examine how images have been and are part of the construction, transmission, and consolidation of knowledge and experience, as well as how images can express values, ideologies, and aesthetic norms.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The overall aim with this article is to historicize the view from above, which is a recurrent view when the ecological crisis is being addressed within contemporary art and visual culture today. The view from above may be considered a reasonable way to picture environmentally harmful land use and its consequences. However, the view from above also contain a few, but essential, problematic traits. It correlates with an ideal viewing position established around the mid-19th century and responded, according to art historian Jonathan Crary, to a need for an objective perception. A starting point in the article is that this viewing position cannot be decoupled from an anthropocentric take on the world, through which man has been assigned hegemony over other beings and has become the measure of all things. But this ideal viewing position was not the only one developed during the 19th century. In both art and literature, a multi-sensory experience of nature and its landscape was articulated, one which anchored people to – rather than separated them from – their surroundings. Thus, a non-anthropocentric, holistic worldview was fashioned, one which we have reason to reactualize today.

Skåda all världens uselhet : visuell pedagogik och reformism i det sena 1800-talets populärkultur
- 2013

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This doctoral dissertation analyzes practices of looking within popular culture during the late nineteenth century. Visual attractions, illustrated press and traveling amusement shows included representations of social ills, such as poverty, criminality and prostitution. These representations were criticized in the Swedish public debate, because of their presumed negative impact on society. They were considered “far too realistic” and thus demoralizing, allegedly causing faulty ideals and creating inaccurate understandings of society. However, others emphasized the importance of beholding images, tableaus and depictions of this kind. I argue that by governing vision, certain practices of looking enabled otherwise problematic representations to become a valuable resource.While the governing of vision in educational contexts has been frequently analyzed, the way in which vision was also governed in popular culture is less well understood. This is not surprising. At the time, it was often assumed that popular culture endangered the attentive spectator, generating an uncaring, detached mind. In addition, popular culture contained various representations of social ills, which were not educational in any obvious way. However, I argue that even these representations were potentially instructional. They were part of the creation of an orderly, responsible citizen – aware of the social problems generated by the rapidly developing society and aware of his or her responsibility to actively engage in their solutions. Hence, I argue that the governing of vision within popular culture became a means of social reform during the late nineteenth century.

Zorn: A Swedish Superstar

Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- After visiting the exhibition Zorn: A Swedish Superstar at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, I was reminded of an earlier visit to the artist’s home in Mora. Zorn placed the lights in the dining room there directly above the rear end of the table, where he sat. This might very well have been mere chance, or for practical reasons, but in hindsight it reminds us that Zorn was well aware of being a superstar in the spotlight. As an artist however, Zorn managed perfectly well to shine on his own. This becomes clear during a visit to the exhibition.
