- Svappavaara is a small Swedish mining town located above the Arctic Circle. Here, in the 1960s, Ralph Erskine had the opportunity to apply a scheme for a model Arctic town that he presented at CIAM'59. The concept for adapting modern housing, and commercial and community uses, to the harsh subarctic climate, envisaged a south facing town, to maximise exposure to the sun. A sequence of wall buildings on the northern outskirts of the town shielded northern winds. The only parts of Erskine's ambitious plan that he designed and that materialised were the 197 metres long wall building known as Ormen Långe (the Long Snake) and some smaller single-family houses. Focusing on the history of the apartment block, Ormen Långe, this paper will show the tensions and struggles between a modern architectural utopia and a local peripheral context. The shrinking population, together with a low appreciation and problematic maintenance, led to premature obsolescence of the building and half of it being demolished in 2010. Since then, new users have appeared on the scene. Following the refugee crisis, a number of immigrants from all over the world moved to and are now living in Svappavaara, including Ormen Långe. Even in its current mutilated condition, Ormen Långe is still a precious surviving element of Erskine's legacy in the northernmost part of Sweden. © of the edition, docomomo International © of the images, their authors and © of the texts, their authors.

What does it mean to Know Computer Science? Perspectives from Gender Research
- 2006

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The epistemological basis for computer science (CS), on which research and education as well as development of applications are founded, are fundamental for its production of knowledge. In this paper we raise the issue of how gender research developed within science and technology can be used within computer science, to approach and discuss foundations of the discipline, and what the implications of this reflection are for CS education. After an introduction, which serves to motivate the questions raised, we discuss issues concerning the foundations of computer science. We then introduce gender research, as we use it, and present some points where this type of research can contribute to the question “What does it mean to know CS?”.

Blekinge : gränslandets politiska geografi
- 2008
-
Ingår i: Blekingeboken. - Karlskrona : Blekinge hembygdsförbund. ; , s. 63-93
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Det blekingska gränslandet har ofta i en äldre historieskrivning infogats i politiska konflikter som beskrivits utifrån ett nationalistiskt perspektiv där kulturella, politiska och etniska skillnader varit viktiga begrepp. Denna artikel tar fasta på gränslandets position i både det danska och det svenska riket under tidigmodern tid med avsikten att pröva de långa historiska utvecklingslinjer som formar ett mönster som sträcker sig över nationsbytet 1658. Med detta perspektiv framhävs en politisk geografi där gränslandets möjligheter och utsatthet präglas av ekonomiska och säkerhetspolitiska realiteter.

Breed and ”Booze”, naval demand and early modern production
- 2012
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This investigation discusses the connection between military supply needs, or more specific the navy capability to supply, primarily bread and alcohol, and the transformation from small-scale to large-scale production during the early modern period. Three questions are addressed: the significance of the relationship between burghers and military representatives to this transformation; the significance of military experience, including military techniques, to this transformation; and finally, whether or not early modern military production can be linked to modern industrialization. Together these questions can begin to answer the question about the connection between the nations military past and the shape of the modern industrial and political landscape. The period after the founding of the naval base Karlskrona in the south east of Sweden in the 1680´s was marked by repeated negotiations, disputes and severe production problems. The burghers could not always meet the growing demands of the Navy. This situation is investigated as an incentive for the Navy to begin the production of foodstuffs. In 1752, a Crown bakery could produce 100 000 pieces of so-called “succarie-breds” a day. The creation of a Crown distillery is another example of a state-operated manufacture at the time. Some of the ventures could be described as more successful than others. The Success and failures of these examples is studied in relation to the experience of military administration, the technical skills developed at the Naval base, as well as the importance of an “institution” that could mobilize labour forces and economic resources, to early modern Swedish production. At another level those questions is related to the Navy as a modernization force in confrontation with older forms of production in the hands of the guilds – and the Naval city as a possible “nod” for modernization in general. The connection between the early modern military production pattern and the long-term impact for the modern industrial landscape in the region is discussed in relation to the fact that this region became the leading industrial producer of alcohol and the leading grower of potatoes needed for this industry. Later on the potatoes became the base for the modern starch industry in the region.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Artikeln går igenom den forskning som under senare år behandlat inkorporeringen av de forna östadanska provinserna Skåne, Blekinge och Gotland i det svenska riket under 1600-talet. en jämförelse mellen de olika områdena lyfter fram gemensama drag och särarter. Fokus riktas mot vad som går att utläsa om människors rumsliga erfarenheter och deras förankring i rummet. Denna problematik diskuteras utifrån teoretiska utgångspunkter i teorier om rum och hur rumsliga konstruktioner ser ut.

Präst, lokalsamhälle och statsmakt i det blekingska gränslandet vid 1600-talets slut

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I denna artikel om prästen lokalsamhället och statsmakten i det blekingska gränslandet vid 1600-talets slut argumenterar författaren för att de konflikter som blottlades i lokalsamhället strax efter övergången från Danmark till Sverige inte var grundade i etniska, kulturella eller nationella föreställningar. Exemplet hämtade från prästernas värld visar hur ståndsmotsättningar och ytterst konkreta vardagliga frågor färgade de konflikter som uppstod. Statsmaktens strävan var att knyta till sig präster som var lojala och skickliga oavsett tidigare rikstillhörighet.

The Plague, crises and interaction between military and civilian in the early 18th century Sweden, the case of Karlskrona.
- 2008
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Plague, crises and interaction between military and civilian in the early 18th century Sweden, the case of Karlskrona. The plague in 1710, the naval base and the city. The plague reached the German North Sea coast in 1709. The following year, in the summer or early autumn it hit the capital of Sweden, Stockholm. Later on, in October 1710, the plague reached the naval base in the south of Sweden. In March 1711, this wave of the plague faded out. It is not possible, due to the gaps in the sources, to estimate the exact figures of the dead in the city or at the naval base. However notes in the dead book from one of the three parishes in the city mention 6 000 dead. If we estimate the figures of dead people from different oral sources written down in the Admiralty colleague’s protocol, the rate of dead would be between 50 and 75 %. The numbers of death was, as every where else, a human catastrophe. This was a grave set back for the Swedish fleet at a time when the Swedish position in the Baltic Sea was challenged by the Russian and the Danish fleets. At the time when the plague hit the area around the Baltic sea, the Swedish Great Power lost several important bridgeheads on the east side of the Baltic sea to its enemies and the Swedish main land was in danger of being invaded. In the year 1709, the Danish army tried, but failed, to invade the south of Sweden (the former East Danish provinces, lost to Sweden in1658). These circumstances, the threat from the plague and the enemies at the same time, should have been a strong incentive for the authorities to act together and with force. The Swedish Great Power, the military state at that time, is often described as one of the truly centralized European states of the time. But did the state act as a centralized power and did civilian and military authorities act together? When we looking back it is obvious that the authorities were rather anxious and uncertain and if they acted at all it happend too late. The cooperation between different parts of society was never effective - according to modern standards. Another question is, if this intracity crisis also created a meeting between civil and military authorities with consequences beyond the present plague problem. One effect of this 18th century city crisis that will be discussed is the crisies as an incitement for, or a move towards growing urbanity. This was a process that implicated the development of the city, the organisation and resources needed for this project could not be found in the countryside. The interaction during the crisis tended to strengthened the division between the “own” city and the strangers from the outside or from the other city or from the countryside. In this way the crises, and the enforced interaction between military and civilian sectors, became one piece in a jigsaw puzzle which we can name the early modern urbanization process.
