Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In The Archaeology of Knowledge Michel Foucault teaches us to discard or at least decentre the historical subject and to call all the unquestioned continuities by which we organize the discourses we want to analyse in question. The aim of this study is to discuss the implications of such a theoretical approach when it is applied to a scholarly project that focuses on a certain historical individual, the Swedish psychiatrist, Bror Gadelius, and his role in the formation of a specific discursive formation, early 20th-century psychiatry in Sweden.

Hemligheternas värld: Bror Gadelius och psykiatrins genombrott i det tidiga 1900-talets Sverige
- 2017
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this dissertation is to examine the transformation of psychiatry in Sweden in the early 20th century. At the turn of the century, 1800–1900, a form of psychiatry appeared that in many aspects sought to differentiate itself from the discipline as it had emerged during the previous century. Theoretically there was a shift in attention from the brain to the mind and measurers were taken to make the care for the mentally ill more humanitarian. To a great extent this was a result of the writings and actions of Bror Gadelius, Sweden’s leading psychiatrist at the time. This phase in the history of psychiatry is analyzed from the perspective of two intertwined processes, the medicalization of madness and deviance and scientific specialization; as well as the nexus of power and humanism characteristic for psychiatric discourse. It is suggested that the professed new identity of psychiatry formed an essential part of Gadelius’ strategies to spread a psychiatric view on human mentality in society and to safeguard the discipline’s borders against other medical specialties. The humanitarian aspects are investigated in patient records and the narrative representation of patients in case stories. One conclusion is that power in the asylum on the one hand was a condition for the humanitarian treatment of the mentally ill, but that on the other hand inherent norms and discipline put a limit to the free expression of the patient as well as the therapeutic potential in the patient-doctor relationship.

Med öppna armar eller armarna i kors : Om armlängdsprincipens historiska innebörd
- 2023
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The principle of arm's length distance in cultural policy is itself based on several principles that are important to understand when the concept is discussed. With the help of a brief overview of the origin and historical application of the arm's length concept in cultural policy, we will examine what the concept can, and cannot, mean today.

Towards a humanistic and culturally informed conception of suicide : On the relationship between the humanities and suicide prevention
- 2022
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- After a decline in the suicide rate for several decades, suicides are now increasing in Sweden and also in other western countries. Among young people, suicide is the most common cause of death, and in this group, mental illness is rising sharply. From the viewpoint of a planned research project, we ask how the humanities can help reverse this development?Suicide is one of the most researched human behaviors. However, despite all accumulated knowledge, suicidology is to a significant extent still lashing out in the dark. It has been speculated as to why the riddle of suicide has remained unsolved, that humans in modern society have been divided into three parts, into a psychic, somatic and social one, which are separately guarded by various disciplines such as deep psychology, psychiatry and sociology, with no substantial feedback going on in between.The humanities, like other fields of disciplines, are a characteristic part of modern society, where differentiation and specialization are a key feature of development. But in addition to the current empirical mapping and theoretical development, the view of knowledge within the humanities may to a greater extent also include the promotion of meta-perspectives, Bildung, empathy and the creation of all-encompassing syntheses, where humans are seen as more complex beings. Simply put, it can be said that the natural scientist studies causal objects that take physical place in time and space, and which are absolutely separated from the researcher, while a scholar of the humanities studies qualitative wholes, which are only comprehensible on the basis of personal experience.Two decades ago, suicidologist Jan Beskow, together with historian Arne Jarrick, suggested the elaboration of a humanistic suicide prevention, which would be based on existential conditions and culturally mediated metaphors and narratives. The aim was an approach that could include and meet suicidal persons and recognize and accept their “suicidality”". Thus, the sucidal person would be given the opportunity to raise in awareness about his or her unwillingness to live, which, paradoxically, may increase the chance that it can eventually be transformed into a will to live. This underlines the need for understanding and dialogue, which are actually the very theme of the knowledge tradition of the humanities.This paper approaches three different areas: 1) How can the humanities (with results and perspectives from studies of language, literature, history and philosophy) contribute to a solution of the “suicide enigma”?; 2) How can a “humanistic” prevention be developed at both a clinical and public health policy level, in order to reverse the increase of suicide and mental illness?; And 3), which historical examples of similar or corresponding prevention programs could be identified, and how do they relate to different notions of “humanities”, “human”, “humanitarian” and “humanism”, across different cultural and medical contexts?
