- During the last decades, global spending on corporate sponsorship has grown rapidly. In Sweden, the case described in this chapter, sponsorship-deals in the world of cultural production and consumption was first established in the 1980s. This paper describes how the emergence of cultural sponsorship equipped actors in the business of art and museums with an expanding repertoire of narratives and practices formatting their ability to make their cultural capital calculable and transformed into financial capital. Cultural sponsorship, as a specific form of marketing practice, enabled actors in the business of arts and museums to create new alliances, framed and negotiated as mutual and market-oriented interests. Cultural sponsorship as legal agreements of mutual interests and obligations rendered social relations economic in new ways and we argue that sponsorship can be understood as a ‘market device’, used to establish a new market in marketing. We argue that the rise of cultural sponsorship in Sweden is an interesting case of market orientation of cultural institutions, but more generally illustrative for how specific forms of economic value are negotiated and constructed under specific historical and contextual circumstances.

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Det femte avsnittet av Samhällsanalysen är ett specialavsnitt som också var en del av Vetenskapsfestivalen i oktober 2020. Denna gång har Ann och Oskar inte bjudit någon gäst utan avsnittet är istället ett samtal dem emellan om hur man kan använda samhällsvetenskap för att vända och vrida på samtiden. Utgångspunkten för samtalet är erfarenheter från undervisning som de har bedrivit tillsammans och var och en för sig. Det blev till ett samtal om finansiell historia, genus, vad man kan använda teoretiska begrepp till och skönlitteratur.

A colonial cash cow: the return on investments in British Malaya, 1889-1969

- Historical rates of return on investments have received increasing scholarly attention in recent years. Much literature has focused especially on colonies, where institutions have been argued to facilitate severe exploitation. In the present study, we examine the return on investments in an Asian colony, British Malaya, from 1889 to 1969 for a large sample of companies. Our results suggest that the return on investments in Malaya might have been among the highest in the world during the period studied. Nevertheless, this finding fits badly with theories of imperial exploitation and can only to a limited extent be explained by a higher risk premium. Instead, we argue that the main driver of the very high return on investments in Malaya was rather the substantial rise in global market prices of the output of the two main sectors of the Malayan economy, rubber and tin. The way that the process of decolonization unfolded in Malaya did, furthermore, not lead to any major nationalization of foreign-held assets, and did thereby not disrupt the return on investment in the region in the same way as decolonization did to the return on investment in some other colonies.

Aednan och Bolaget: ett kolonialt perspektiv på gruvbrytning i Sápmi vid 1900-talets början : Aednan and the Company: A Colonial Perspective on Mining in Sapmi in the Early Twentieth Century

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Despite a growing international interest in the colonial history of indigenous people in general, and an emerging field of Sami-related history in Sweden in particular, the impact on the field of Swedish economic history is still very limited. This is somewhat paradoxical, given that the dominating narrative on the modernization of the Swedish economy during the 19th and 20th century still rests heavily on the exploitation of natural resources located in Sápmí. In this article we pose the question: to what extent can a colonial perspective further our understanding of the exploitation of mineral deposits in the northern part of Sweden? To pursue such an analysis, we specifically address the development of the iron ore mine in Kiruna during the late 19th and early 20th century. We use a combination of sources (press, government investigations and literature) to probe into the relationships between on the one hand the Sami people and on the other hand the private and public interests that were formed in the wake of the development of a mine, which in just a few years developed into the largest mine in Sweden and the dominating stock on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. We show that theoretical approaches developed in the tradition of colonial history can offer productive modes of analysis when it comes to further our understanding of the structural discrimination of the Sami people. We argue that these theoretical approaches can open up important new avenues for scholars in economic history to search for new sources or revisit old ones with new questions about the grand narrative of how the modernization of Sweden came about.
