En andlig terra incognita : spiritismen i det sena 1800-talets Stockholm
- 2024
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This dissertation analyses the role that spiritism played in Stockholm, Sweden, during the late 19th century, more specifically between the years 1887–1902. Spiritism was an international movement grounded in the belief that spirits of dead people existed and that it was possible to communicate with them. While spiritism in Sweden was a Christian movement, its followers claimed to be using scientific methods. It is this tension between scientific ambitions on the one hand, and the combined belief in Christianity and spiritism on the other, that is investigated in this dissertation. The source material consists primarily of a spiritistic periodical, notes from spiritistic seances, and three debates about spiritism. The theoretical framework is based on the sociologist Thomas Gieryn's concept of boundary-work, specifically David Hess's extension of it and his concept of the Self and both negative and positive Others. The study concludes that spiritists constructed science as both a positive and a negative Other, meaning that they wanted to be associated with science, while also stressing that they were doing something beyond science. In relation to this image of science as both a positive and a negative Other spiritists could construct their Self as a kind of scientific pioneer. The study also identifies a similar relationship to Christianity: spiritists emphasised their faith in a Christian God, used Christian symbols, and practised Christian rituals, but they also created their own belief system and criticized the church. Their approaches to Christianity and science were not, however, entirely similar. They did not turn to Christian institutions for acceptance, but rather strived to become part of the scientific community. These differences are interpreted as part of a larger shift in social status and position of science and Christianity.This dissertation has also identified a change in how spiritism was depicted in the press by its critics. At the beginning of the period, criticism against spiritism was mostly based on accusations of spiritists being imposters and their critics wanted nothing to do with them. As theories about the unconscious spread, however, the approach towards spiritism changed. Spiritistic phenomenon could now be investigated by scientists who wanted to learn more about the unconscious, even though they did not accept the spiritists explanations that spirits were behind them. By analysing both the spiritists’ relationship to science and Christianity and how spiritism was discussed in the press, this dissertation demonstrates that the belief in spiritism was an integrated part of Stockholm’s cultural landscape in the late 19th century.

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Axel Danielsson var redaktör för tidningen Arbetet och en av den tidiga svenska arbetarrörelsens viktigaste ledargestalter. Efter hans tidiga död 1899 vårdades hans minne inom den sydsvenska socialdemokratin under ett helt sekel. I denna artikel görs ett antal nedslag i denna minnesproduktion, från begravningen till Arbetets nedläggning. Danielsson studeras som en minnesplats vars innehåll förändrades med den mediala och samhälleliga utvecklingen.

Vad vilja vegetarianerna? : En undersökning av den svenska vegetarismen 1900–1935
- 2022
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Throughout human history, some people have chosen to abstain from eating meat – for ethical or religious reasons. But beginning in the mid-19th century, groups and organizations were formed in the West who identified themselves as “vegetarian”. With the establishment of Svenska Vegetariska Föreningen (SVF, or the Swedish Vegetarian Society) in 1903, Sweden became part of this international movement. A central claim in this study is that the formation of vegetarian practices in the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century should be understood as an expression of the emerging modern society. The purpose of this study, covering 1900–1935, is to contribute new perspectives and insights concerning vegetarianism in Sweden in the early 20th century. On the one hand, this study examines Swedish vegetarianism as a movement. On the other, attention is drawn to how closely connected it was to vegetarian movements on an international level.The main source material of this study is the Swedish Vegetarian Society’s member magazine Vegetarianen (the Vegetarian), and a variety of writings by Johan L. Saxon who was chair as well as the editor of Vegetarianen. The study shows that early 20th century vegetarianism was not just about excluding meat from one’s diet, it was also characterized by a variety of rules and restrictions. A key word in this is toxins. Meat was considered a toxin and therefore not to be consumed by humans, but it was far from the only toxin. Other toxins that a vegetarian must avoid were alcohol, tobacco, coffee, tea and various spices.The vegetarians’ self-perception, expressed in the examined sources, can be summarized as an understanding of themselves as the true core of several related movements, as vegetarianism also encompassed those endeavors. Vegetarians in this way related to the temperance, animal protection, and peace movements in the first instance. Vegetarianism was expected to imply the rejection of killing both animals and humans. As for the relation to the temperance movement, vegetarians understood meat and alcohol to be similar toxins: a vegetarian thus abstained not only from eating meat, but also from imbibing alcohol.
