Moderna kvinnor : Modernitet, femininitet och svenskhet i svensk veckopress 1921 -1933
- 2018
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- De moderna kvinnorna med korta kjolar och ännu kortare hår som jazzade sig igenom 1920-talets nöjesliv är en bild som reproduceras i populärkulturen än idag. Men de moderna kvinnorna sågs i sin samtid inte endast som nöjeslystna kommersiella produkter, utan användes som en arena för att diskutera frågor om nationalitet, rasbiologi, genus, kropp och det moderna samhällets utmaningar. De moderna kvinnorna ifrågasatte nämligen traditionella genusstrukturer, genom att idrotta, köra bilar, ställa nya krav på äktenskapet eller helt enkelt välja bort giftermål till förmån för ett självförsörjande singelliv. Samtidigt politiserades och granskades deras kroppar, korta kjolar och livsstil. Under 1920-talets första år i Sverige hade kvinnor uppnått rösträtt och juridisk likställighet i äktenskapet och nya lagar gav dem större utrymme på arbetsmarknaden. Hur skulle ett modernt framtida samhälle se ut där kvinnor uppförde sig, såg ut som, och ställde samma krav på frihet som män? Det är hur denna fråga debatterades i veckopressen som undersöks i denna bok. De moderna kvinnorna var ett globalt fenomen under 1920- och 1930-talen, men tog sig olika uttryck i olika länder. I den svenska debatten framhölls Sverige som ett jämställdhetens förlovade land, på samma gång som det ansågs viktigt att sätta gränser för femininiteten och moderniteten för att värna om och bevara svenskheten. Det är tongångar som känns igen än idag, när nationalistiska vindar, som vill begränsa kvinnors utrymme, sveper över Sverige.

Exkludering, assimilering eller utrotning? : "Tattarfrågan" i svensk politik 1880-1955
- 2015
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Since the 16th Century, there has been Travelling families in Sweden, earning their living by itinerant trades such as horse-trading, scrap-metal-dealing and tinplating. The authorities often labelled these families “tattare”. They suffered from severe discrimination, and authorities as well as scientists claimed that they were a threat against society. These claims were often made with a racialized rhetoric. In the period ca 1880-1955, there was a heated debate on what kind of political measures should be taken against these families. This debate, which is the subject of this thesis, was sometimes referred to as the ‘tattare question’. Three main political strategies were proposed or adopted in the ‘tattare’ question. In the countryside, small rural districts invented a variety of techniques in order to exclude Travelling families, such as imposing fines on persons who accommodated them. Government authorities and philanthropist saw assimilation as a goal rather than exclusion. They proposed various types of programs, e.g. establishing orphanages in which children labelled as ‘tattare’ should be detained and transformed into “decent” and “hard-working” citizens. Especially in the 1930’s and 1940’s, there were also proposals for a policy of more or less complete extinction of the whole group. In these proposals, persons labelled as ‘tattare’ were to be systematically sterilized. Although none of these extreme proposals were carried out, the debate did without a doubt influence the implementation of the general sterilization and childcare acts. Many persons whom the authorities labelled as ‘tattare’ were sterilized or detained at closed institutions for children and juveniles in the 20th century.

Utmaningarna mot demokratins skola : Den svenska lärarkåren, nazismen och sovjetkommunismen 1933-1945
- 2016
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Swedish teaching profession, Nazism and Soviet Communism from 1933 to 1945 The “Democratic School” was a concept that Swedish teachers used regularly to describe the school that they had participated in building up. In the interwarperiod, the Democratic School was confronted with two major challenges, i.e. German Nazism and Soviet Communism. This thesis has, in a comparative form, investigated how the Swedish teaching profession dealt with these challenges, the argumentation strategies they used and how these challenges affected the collective identity and ideals of the teaching profession. Nazism was rejected on the basis that it conflicted with Swedish teachers’ own ideals and identity. It was not a question of whether a repudiation should be made but rather how it should be presented to its members and Swedish society, without deviating from the political neutrality that the teacher profession was fostering. In the Soviet case, this thesis uncovered more of a passivity and silence. When the Communist ideology was compared with the Nazi ideology on a more fundamental level, they were both rejected as a threat to the democratic school. However, the rapid modernization of Soviet society was met with respect as a utopian challenge to imitate. Teachers in Sweden recognized themselves in and picked out those aspects of develop-ments in Soviet Society that they regarded as positive and accepted those which fitted with their own ideals. Nazism and Soviet Communism were used to strengthen the teacher profession´s own identity, but in a completely different way. Admiration for sections of the Soviet Communism experiment strengthened the belief of Swedish teachers in utopian educational reform, where schools would be able to change society. The definite rejection of the Nazi dystopia was utilized as a frightening measure to strengthen the teacher professions’ own democratic identity.

Historia i futurum : Progression i historia i styrdokument och läroböcker 1919-2012
- 2018
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Facing an unknown future, the meaning of history is not primarily a fixed set of knowledge about the past, but a well-developed historical consciousness. This is a generic skill, emanating from an understanding of history as something that we are, and at the same time as something that we create. From a historical-cultural perspective, the learning process can be described with a point of departure in questions stemming from the life- and experience-world, looking genealogically toward the past. With a point of departure in pedagogical theories of the learning process, and a development described as fact, interpretation and consciousness, the question follows as to how the development is expressed in the curricula and textbooks in school between 1919 and 2012 and how studying history can contribute to the progress as it is described above. A number of dichotomies have been identified as tools of analysis, describing the space of interpretation between history as science and history as life- and experience-worlds. The goal is a well-developed historical consciousness defined as the ability to simultaneously interpret the past, understand the present and have perspectives on the future.
