Skogskris och resurskonflikt : Debatten om skogsödande i Sverige 1740–1820

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the eighteenth century, Sweden saw a fierce, elite-driven debate in Kungl. Vetenskapsakademien (Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences) and Kungl. Patriotiska sällskapet (Royal Patriotic Society) about the country’s wood shortage. It was echoed in several strict forest ordinances, introduced primarily to safeguard the interests of the iron industry. The elite tended to blame the peasantry and their supposed ”skogsödande” or squandering of forestry resources. If the waste of timber and fuel could not be halted, there would be no end to the misery that would befall the country for generations to come; however, were sustainable forestry practices and responsible wood use to be adopted, in accordance with the elite’s proposals, then there would be no limit to Sweden’s prosperity and success.The various explanations of the waste of forestry resources intersected with contemporary cameralism, but also drew on the traditional elite arguments about resource management, making a clear distinction between progressive, moral, patriarchal elite rule and the backward practices of recalcitrant commoners – a distinction that centred on the discourses of threat and solution. It was believed the peasantry were guilty of forest degradation and thus it was their responsibility to remedy it. Any and all of the peasants’ practices, no matter how minor, were thought evidence of their poor forest management and wasteful use of wood. This gave the elite the opportunity to frame such practices as against the interests of the nation and even the peasantry. Good governance by the elite was essential for the preservation of the woodlands, as well as optimising wood use and replacing wood with wood-saving alternatives. Only then could Sweden’s forests be made to flourish again.The peasantry countered the elite’s arguments by portraying themselves as both professional and patriotic foresters, who possessed all the skills for sustainable forestry. They contended that the cause of forest degradation lay not with the peasantry, but with overzealous legislators and officials, regulations, trade barriers, levies, and overambitious infrastructure projects. As such, the peasantry argued that only through deregulation and land reform to benefit privately owned forests would the Swedish state be able to mitigate the threat of deforestation and save one of its most precious resources.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Previous research has deemed the secretary of the peasant estate in the Swedish Riksdag of the Age of Liberty an important figure. Yet, historians have not scrutinized the secretaries, their function, or their influence over the peasantry. This article examines the incumbents, their ability to guide the peasant estate and vice versa, and their political and bureaucratic function in the Age of Liberty. The results have bearing on discussions about the peasantry's political influence in the early modern era, on the significance of parties in the Age of Liberty, and on the relationship between bureaucracy and politics within the early modern Diet. The results show that most of the secretaries had ties to the Council of the Realm, with education in and experience of legal and administrative matters. Secretaries were meant to control the peasantry but cannot be exclusively understood as an instrument for oppression or a facilitator of political mobilization; they served both purposes at the same time, although the emphasis varied over time and between issues. The results thus emphasize the complexity of political interaction in early modern Sweden. Additionally, the changing function and role of the secretary was very much caused by party struggle. Parties are, therefore, key in understanding the peasantry's political influence and position in the Age of Liberty. Lastly, the article reveals a rapid bureaucratization of the peasantry's political activities from the 1750s onwards. The chancery expanded manifold and diversified its tasks. This process played an important role in the peasantry's political mobilization towards the end of the period but has previously been largely unacknowledged. Thus, the article's results contribute to a vast, important, but generally understudied research field. Bureaucratization and specialization processes in politics are not only of relevance for the study of the peasantry and the Age of Liberty, but for the study of political history in Sweden and the world at large.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The number of Swedish citizens who migrated to Brazil between 1881 and1914 reached between 3,000 and 5,000. Most were labourers or peasants, hopingto find a better life in a new country. Although it did not compare to thesheer size of the migration flows to North America, it still received some attentionin the Swedish press. Newspapers often presented Brazil as an exoticdestination, but there were those who doubted whether it was appropriatefor Swedes to emigrate to Brazil.This article draws on Swedish migrants’ letters and diaries, written andpublished either while the writers were living in Brazil or, sometimes, afterthey had returned to Sweden. The narratives constructed an image of Brazilas a contact zone between cultures, and are best understood as a discourseand social practice in which the individual journeys played out. The textsprovide insights into people’s experiences of the kind we focus on in our analysis:daily life and observations about nature, the environment, and livingconditions as well as other peoples.There are not only extensive sources for how Swedish migrants reportedtheir attempts to ensure the success of their migration projects inthe European settler colonies in southern Brazil, but they are also sufficientlybroad and varied to provide a good overview, while the existenceof several series of letters by the same writers makes it possible to followindividual migration projects. The article explores the contradictions between migrants’ stories, the evolution of individual Swedes’ views onlife in Brazil, and how their known ideas about colonisation, nationalism,racism, and power related to the contact zone between Brazilianand Swedish society and history.By analysing the texts from an interdisciplinary perspective, consideringboth the Swedish and Brazilian contexts, we map Swedes’ migration projectsand contribute to the discussion of settler migration and its social andcultural implications. We find the Swedish migrants’ discourse to have beenheavily impacted by processes at a level that individuals rarely influence. Yetat the same time, their writings reflected the pragmatic realities of life as amigrant. We would argue that most Swedish migrants who wanted to defendtheir decision to emigrate (and perhaps never return) chose to present it inthe best possible light, whereas those who wanted to return and become partof the Swedish community again adapted their descriptions accordingly, offeringa negative picture of life in their new country and often of their ownemigration projects.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The article studies commercial actors and advertisements in the Swedish weekly press in order to trace how the transformed gender roles during the Second World War were handled and negotiated in the commercial sphere. Two key dimensions of consumer society constitute the objects of study: 1) the weekly press’ and advertising industry’s actions and promotion of the role of female consumers during the war; and 2) how commercial advertisements represented female consumers. The weeklies we study, Svensk damtidning, Hemmets Veckotidning and Vecko-revyn reached national readerships and were directed towards households and especially women. The paper concludes that although women were described as essential to national defenseby keeping up home front morale, the war was largely absent in the advertisements. Instead, the latter tended to remind consumers of peacetime affluence and family-based gender ideals. This meant that while many women’s everyday lives changed dramatically as a consequence of national wartime mobilization, their desires were commercially channeled just as they had been in peacetime: toward looking after their appearance, caring for the household and choosing the right consumer goods.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- I denna artikel studerar vi konstruktionen av kvinnliga konsumenter i andra världskrigets svenska nationella mobilisering. Analysen bygger på en studie av reklam- och veckopressbranschernas aktörer, liksom av annonser i veckopressen. Vi visar hur dessa kommersiella aktörer aktivt riktade sina budskap till olika grup-per av kvinnor, samt hur kvinnor uppmanades att göra sin plikt gentemot nationen genom att upprätthålla vardagen och fortsätta konsumera. Trots stora förändring-ar i människors liv, var till synes intet nytt på den kommersiella hemmafronten.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article contributes to the research on how the earliest Swedish workers’ associations formed and controlled the poor and politically marginalized classes. Previous research on the fostering functions of organized labour has emphasized that it created a self-governing, reformist and conscientious working class. These studies have largely been based on the educational activities and ideological programs of the movements. This article shows that the workers’ organizations, in their first liberal phase, also shaped the behaviour of their members by establishing a system of sanctions. Thus, the essay focuses on a technique of moral regulation that was part of the everyday practice of organizational governance. The system of sanctions is treated and analysed as a disciplinary mechanism in a Foucauldian perspective, focusing on the type of subjects that the system formed and promoted. The first empirical section describes and analyses the basis of the system: the codes of conduct and its regulations. Drinking and disorderly behaviour in general were condemned, as was not being able to follow the right political protocols for being a good member of an association that was based on representative government. Furthermore, the system of sanctions created a relationship of power between the representatives and the majority of members. The former, mainly the governing board and the disciplinary corps, acted as fostering and policing authorities. The authorities were also in charge of deciding the penalties for members who were suspected of breaking the rules.Sanctions came in the forms of warnings, fines and expulsions. An in-depth analysis of individual cases shows that immoral and disorderly conduct, inside as well as outside the organizations, was cause for exclusion. The article shows that the sanction system thus served certain political functions. The sanction system formed capable citizens with the knowledge needed to engage in collective organizational politics; and in the end, the knowledge required to take part in a liberal-capitalist society in development.

Biopolitical preparedness : The impact of the behavioral science research of the Swedish National Defense Research Establishment (FOA) on Swedish crisis preparedness

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- During the post-war period, major research investments were made to improve military and defense capabilities both in Sweden and abroad. Much remains undone as to exploring the impact of the Swedish National Defense Research Establishment (FOA) on Swedish state and society. Historians have primarily explored the development and impact of technological and natural science research and its connections with e.g. the military industry. This article provides new insights into the societal and political significance of Swedish defense research by studying the human sciences at FOA. At the same time, new insights are gained on the knowledge provision in Swedish preparedness efforts. The aim of the article is to provide new knowledge about the influence of Swedish defense research on the Swedish civil defense and crisis preparedness in the late 20th century. The purpose of the article is to explore the significance of behavioral science research at the Department of Human Sciences (FOA 5) in relation to a process at the end of the Cold War in which crisis and preparedness were framed as problems pertaining to population behavior and risk awareness. The analysis is inspired by the theory and research on biopolitics, originating in the works of Michel Foucault. I examine the influence of FOA's behavioral science research in relation to what I call “biopolitical preparedness, ” which refers to an assemblage of research or knowledge about human life, health and behavior, and political governance. Empirically, the article explores Swedish governmental commissions (statens offentliga utredningar) and FOA reports.

Totalförsvarets livspolitik : Kunskapsförsörjningen i den svenska livsmedelsberedskapen

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the Cold War, Sweden’s total defence extended to all parts of society. Preparations for war were a normal part of daily life. Military history has received more attention in historical research, but Sweden’s civil defence has recently attracted increasing interest. This article sheds new light on the knowledge supply and political governance of the total defence. We focus on Swedish food security and preparedness (livsmedelsberedskap), which was part of the economic defences that fell under the country’s civil defence system. We examine governmental investigations into the changes in Swedish agricultural production deemed necessary to reach the Swedish government’s planned level of preparedness. Two forms of what we term ”life politics” are charted in the studies commissioned or carried out by the Swedish Board of Agriculture in the late 1970s and early 1980s. We examine how these investigations made possible political interventions targeting the human population as well as the life of plants and the cultivated land. We provide new perspectives on Sweden’s civil defence by studying the significance of nonhuman life forms to Swedish public preparedness, which have received significantly less attention from historians than the human population and the development of, for example, new defence technologies and weapon systems.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Focusing on different interpretations of the ideal of scholarly objectivity, this article examines books and reviews dealing with Nazism written by American, British, and French scholars between 1935 and 1939. After the rise of the Nazi regime in 1933, scholars in three of the Western democracies that later faced Germany in the Second World War sought to explain the character and goals of Nazi ideology and the Nazi state. Some already specialised in German history, others gravitated towards the topic because of political developments. Often, their research and reviews led them to reflect on scholarly objectivity, impartiality, and neutrality.One notable example was the American political scientist Frederick Schuman who visited Nazi Germany in 1933. Schuman argued, while claiming to strive for an honest, undistorted depiction, that Nazi ideology, since it demanded either rejection or acceptance, rendered impartiality and neutrality impossible. His American colleagues, mainly political scientists and historians, took him to task for being overly critical of a regime which in their view had positive aspects. Émigré scholars in the US and France such as Fritz Ermarth, Fritz Morstein Marx, and Harald Mankiewicz, who had been forced to flee the Third Reich, were expected to set their experiences aside, allowing Nazi authors to speak unchallenged. While Schuman was criticised for his approach, Ermarth, Morstein Marx, and Mankiewicz were lauded for a form of objectivity which implied refraining from critical comment.The reception of Henri Lichtenberger’s L’Allemagne nouvelle, first published in French in 1936 and in English translation the following year, is another case in point. Lichtenberger was one of the founding fathers of German studies in France and worked for French–German understanding during the 1930s. In his book, he went to great lengths not to criticize the Third Reich and its leadership. Although several scholars, especially in the US, praised Lichtenberger’s impartial approach there were also dissenting voices who took exception to his reticence. In 1938 and 1939, ever more scholars argued for the importance of taking sides in response to a state which in their view posed problems greater than the question of scholarly objectivity. In this context, the sociologist Aurel Kolnai’s indictment of Nazism, despite making no pretence to being dispassionate, seemed more attuned to the situation. The ideal of scholarly objectivity and impartiality proved not only its persistence in the scholarly encounter with Nazism, but also its inadequacy as a response to the challenge posed by the Third Reich. It was only when that regime appeared as an immediate threat to other countries that scholarly discourses changed.
