Gods och landskap : Jordägande, bebyggelse och samhälle i Östergötland 1000-1562
- 2003
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This study examines landownership structures and settlement during the Middle Ages in the province of Östergötland in Sweden. It departs from a critical approach to the established view of social structure and property in the Scandinavian medieval society.The investigations are made at two levels. The first level is a cross section of the mid 16th century. This investigation shows that lay aristocrats and ecclesiastical institutions controlled most of the land, especially in the core areas of the parishes. The second level is a detailed investigation at the farm level in six parishes starting from the middle of the 16th century and working retrogresively to the early Middle Ages. This study shows that the landowning structure of the 16th century can be traced back to about AD 1300. For the early Middle Ages reconstructions are made through inheritance successions and genealogies of the aristocratic families. These reconstructions show that, in some parishes, most of the land was probably controlled by a few very rich families or dynasties during the early Middle Ages. The results lead to a question about the Viking Age and medieval society in general. This question is answered in a hypothesis stressing the development of the concept of land ownership in combination with the development of the land tenure system as one of the important factors for reproduction of local power during the Viking Age and early Middle Ages.

Climate extremes – a study of vulnerability, adaptation, and loss & damage in relation to the 2018 drought, focusing on Southern Sweden
- 2019
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The extreme weather in terms of drought and heat, which prevailed in Northern Europe during the growing season 2018, had serious consequences for agriculture and farmers in Sweden. Many questions regarding farm production came to a head as drought struck directly against farmers land, economy and wellbeing. This paper argues that it is essential to deeper investigate farmer’s and other land user’s experiences and actions during the drought period and the immediately following situation, also in a high-income country context. The overall aim is therefore to increase the knowledge on multiple factor vulnerability and adaptive capacities with insights across selected rural livelihoods, focusing on Southern Sweden. We emphasize questions such as who, when and how rural land users are affected. In the study, we interpret loss and damage as “limits to adaptation” and consider both economic and non-economic dimensions for crop growers, animal keepers and horse businesses. The study is mainly based on qualitative data collection methods, such as semi-structured interviews in combination with seasonal calendars, and complemented with questionnaires.Preliminary findings indicate that impacts on crop growers are highly related to possibilities for irrigation and access to water use permits, but also to soil quality. In comparison to animal keepers their experienced impact can be considered being ‘intermediate’ in temporal terms. For animal keepers the experienced impacts are simultaneously more immediate, due to acute fodder shortage, and more long term, because of changing stock compositions, animal health, and reproduction – possibly also giving rise to higher levels of concern and worry. In the paper we further discuss if, and when, rural livelihoods are potentially given up in the wake of extreme weather events. We believe that this study can help define factors of vulnerability, loss and damage in a Global North context.

Food systems and farmers’ behavior during an extreme event: : an analysis of actions and governance following the 2018 drought in Sweden
- 2020
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The extreme weather in terms of drought and heat, which prevailed in Northern Europe during the growing season 2018, had serious consequences for food production and farmers in southern Sweden. Many questions regarding farm production came to a head as drought struck directly against farmers land, economy and wellbeing and hence created vulnerability. This paper analyzes how farmers experienced the turbulent time of a climate extreme and focuses on how they related to the societal institutions that generally govern the agricultural sector. The course of events showed how the existing agricultural institutions were struggling with the situation and partly lacked the capacity to handle a crisis of this kind. By studying more closely how farmers in this situation solved the problems, among other things through increased collaboration, measures to improve adaptability can be identified. In the paper we relate to the distinction in climate literature between autonomous and planned adaptation. Autonomous adaptation is understood as more improvised adaptation measures taken by individual actors (e.g. farmers) to deal with changing demands and conditions, while planned adaptation refers to the deliberate creation and implementation of policies to deal with the impacts of climate change. Our empirical material consists of in-depth interviews with farmers in southern Sweden and a larger survey material collected during 2019.From these concepts and by studying these challenges from the land users' perspective, we gain an expanded understanding of needed governance interventions for increasing the resilience in modern agriculture.

József Eötvös and the age of Hungarian reform
- 2004

In: Modernisation and tradition. European local and manorial societies 1500-1900..
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The question at stake is to what extent could the Hungarian intelligentsia, here foremost represented by the author and political thinker József Eötvös, in the beginning of the 19th century, take in the ideas of the Enlightment and its notion of equality. By studying Eötvös' highly political novel "Village Notary" some conclusions are made regarding how Rousseau's political philosophy was understood in the Hungarian cultural and social context.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This is a study of the Danish nobility in the period 1450-1650. The aim is to show the changes in the socio-economic foundations of this group under advance during the period, and how this corresponded with changes in the methods and articulations which were used to create legitimicy för the nobility and its' resource claims. Among else we can see that the discourse supposed to ground the legitimacy of the Estate changed from a stress on the nobility as a group of protectors of their subjects to an increasing understanding of the nobility as an Estate of owners of private property. The idea of noble private property was at the same time to a large degree guaranteed by royal privileges, which complicates our understanding of the development of the idea of property.

Att flytta Axis Mundi : Om det kyrkliga landskapets struktur och förändring i Strängnäs och Växjö stift 1780–1880
- 2004
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The investigation takes its point of departure in the Royal Ordinances which regulated church-building during the period 1780–1880 and how the bishops in the Dioceses of Strängnäs and Växjö, respectively, used these Ordinances to restructure and rationalize the parochial landscape, i.e. regulate the number of parishes and churches. The Diocese of Växjö is characterized by intensive church-building activity during the period, while in the Diocese of Strängnäs hardly any new churches were built. An important cause for this difference was major differences in parish structure. The Diocese of Strängnäs had a more uniform pattern than the Diocese of Växjö with regard to the area and population of the parishes for one thing, their internal organization into vicarages of different size on the other.An important factor, particularly in the Diocese of Strängnäs, was changes in the agricultural production system. An increasing use of cottager labour made for a more mobile population and increased social distances in the parishes. As land ownership regulated voting rights at the parish councils, the number of those who had any say in the joint concerns of the parish, such as church-building, went down at the same time as the estate owners became less and less interested in such matters. Planning and decisionmaking at the parish councils therefore were wanting and decisions to build a church could not be taken.Another important circumstance was that a real need for church renewal in the Diocese of Strängnäs was not at hand until towards the end of the 19th century. At that time a lower rate of church attendance together with the above-mentioned difficulties to reach decisions made for the old churches to be kept

Heritage as Landscape Manicure – Questioning Idealized Historical Landscapes as a Model for Sustainability. The Example of Toarp Ecovillage in Sweden
-
In: Heritage and Society. - 2159-0338.
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- When the ecovillage of Toarp was established in the peri-urban landscape of Malmö, Sweden, it was designed with inspiration from the historical regional landscape and its settlement forms. In the launching of the area the past was mirrored as more sustainable than the present. As demonstrated, the historical references in the planned and produced Toarp landscape are however made selectively and rather allude to an idealized historical past than to the processes that actually shaped the existing landscape. This, it is argued, is an aesthetization of the landscape heritage that is problematic because it uses constructions of the past–in this case to argue for sustainability–in a way that conceals the becoming and significance of fundamental landscape realities.

In Search of Nordic Landscape Geography : Tensions, Combinations and Relations

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Through tracing what ‘landscape’ has meant, and the political and intellectual work that ‘landscape’ does, we in this chapter explore the shifting nature of Nordic landscape geography. We thereby aim to introduce readers to the role of the landscape concept within Nordic scholarship and critically engage with contemporary debates over the nature and meaning of landscape. Landscape was an important political concept long before the advent of geography as a discipline in the Nordic countries, though what landscape denoted differed between various national and linguistic settings. Based in our mapping of the concept as it has evolved within geography and related disciplines, we centre on three strands of landscape scholarship today: mediations on a particularly ‘Nordic’ substantive landscape concept, attempts to utilise landscape as a concept to influence planning, and attempts to utilise landscape as a concept to grasp environmental issues. Scrutinising these current traditions leads us to primarily underline the necessity of relational approaches to steer the concept away from a problematic and narrow emphasis on the local scale. Yet, and importantly, various relational approaches take analysis in different directions, leading us to also underscore the necessity of critically scrutinising where particular relational approaches might lead landscape geography.

Kartan som spegling och produktion av rumslighet

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The map is not simply a representation of existing space, or a mirror of the earth’s surface. It is rather a multi-faceted instrument expressing that the power to represent is the power to order, and that the rationality of geometrical space could influence people’s lived spaces through its role as a planning tool. These issues are discussed with three examples from Swedish modernity; the production of land survey maps, the early economic mapping, and the map’s role in welfare planning. It is concluded that maps are important study objects if one wants to analyse the formation of modern society.

Landsbygdens egnahem : Egnahemsrörelsen, småbruket och landskapet i sydsvenskt perspektiv
- 1993
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The Swedish state-funded "own-home activity" lasted between 1904 and 1948. In this study the main focus is on the background and the early development og this activity on the Swedish countryside, i.e. on the creation of small-holdings. The dissertation gives the social and political background to the movement; shows the spread of state-funded small-holding in the Swedish countyside during the period 1904-45; gives examples of the impact the activity had on landscape and settlement in souternmost Sweden.
