Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This study explores the biography of spoils through analysing cases of cultural looting by Gustavus Adolphus and Carl Gustaf Wrangel during their seventeenth century military campaigns. Today, such artefacts are in general described as “war booty”, although this expression (“krigsbyte”) first occurred in the Swedish language in 1712. Hence, this study argues that the meaning of the term “war booty” and the objects that it designates, are historically contingent and by examining different material processes, this study reveals how cultural loot was created; the ways in which spoils were interpreted and given meaning by the Swedish elite and officials during the seventeenth century, and how different collections were affected by their presence.The study applies theories of materiality in combination with cultural historical research on elite collecting during the early modern era. The analysis illuminates how qualities and identities such as geographical origin, genealogical connections, material substances, confessional belongings, and temporal assets were all crucial components in the shaping of spoils. These properties determined how the booty was handled and perceived from the battlefield to the archive, library, and museum collections. An object biographical method is used in order to explain the movements and transformations of spoils. Special attention is given to collection practices, in particular how things were classified and organised but also the variations in how they were used, viewed, touched, displayed, maintained, and preserved.This study concludes that the seventeenth century spoils, which were not primarily understood as such at the time when they were made, transformed into national symbols of a lost empire during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Therein lie the complexities of their history and biography, which are revealed within this study.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The productive secrecy of foetal experimentation: Medical research and white lies in 1960s and 1970s Sweden: In recent years, secrecy and openness in science and related questions about the selective flow of knowledge and the production of ignorance has emerged as an important topic in historical and social studies of science. This paper deals with the circulation of information and knowledge about medical research on aborted human foetuses in Sweden, primarily during the 1960s and the 1970s. The aim is to investigate how individual and institutional actors developed and made use of strategies for “selective openness” about foetal experimentation, and the implications for the control of information and public debate. Drawing on media coverage, official documents, letters and interviews the analysis shows that governmental authorities and medical experts tried to influence which knowledge became available to whom. Yet, they still had to interact with and respond to public criticism. A central argument is that secrecy is a productive phenomenon that generates various sorts of social effects. By relating to the experiments as a secret worthy of protection, and helped by some media, the medical researchers developed a “moral economy”. Another aspect is the amount of conflicting information and knowledge claims about “life”, “death” and “viability” that were produced in the wake of public protests and negative attention around the research. The secret, it turns out, had a multifaceted character.

Från medicinskt avfall till rättighetsinnehavare : Framväxten av värdekonflikter kring aborterade foster i Sverige

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article examines value conflicts around fetuses from legal abortions in a longer historical perspective. It aims to investigate various kinds of handling, defining, and regulating aborted fetuses in Sweden during mainly the 20th century. Drawing on the concepts of “reproductive governance” and “reproductive bioeconomy” we highlight how subject positions for women as well as values and meanings attributed to aborted fetuses not only shifted over time but also within and between different areas of society. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which central actors have raised issues about values, interests, and rights in discussions and practices regarding abortion materials in medical research, abortion care, legislation, state regulations, and political debates. We trace the conceptualization of aborted fetuses as medical waste to the work of embryologists around 1900. Then we go on to discuss how this “waste regime” was challenged and gradually undermined as the fetus gained a greater visibility in the public domain and in some contexts was attributed with individual rights. By placing the handling of aborted fetuses in focus this study adds to previous research on abortion history. It demonstrates that the rights of women and fetuses emerged in tandem and were related to each other in Sweden over the 20th century.

In the light of media : Mass miniature radiography surveys for tuberculosis in Sweden, c. 1940–1970

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper aims to highlight the medical and medial relationships that were established and negotiated through the mass X-ray surveys for tuberculosis in Sweden from the early 1940s to 1970. In particular it focuses on three interrelated aspects. Firstly, it shows how mass miniature radiography was developed through the pairing of old X-ray technology with new photographic technology. Secondly, it demonstrates how the survey campaigns enabled connections between medical and media institutions and professional groups. Thirdly, it discusses how the mass surveys helped to create and mediate relations between doctors and patients, experts and lay people, sick and healthy people, participants and objectors. In conclusion, it argues that these three aspects together are crucial if we wish to understand the mediatisation of the medical sphere as well as the medicalisation of everyday life during the twentieth century.

Lennart Nilsson’s A Child Is Born : The Many Lives of a Best-Selling Pregnancy Advice Book
- 2015

In: Culture Unbound. - 2000-1525. ; 7:4, s. 627-648
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article examines the circulations and transformations of photographer Lennart Nilsson’s pregnancy advice book Ett barn blir till (A Child Is Born) through its five Swedish editions from 1965 to 2009 as well as some of the translations in English and other languages. Published by Bonnier, the leading media company in Sweden, the book combines images and texts to dramatise the story of conception, foetal development and pregnancy. In particular, the aim is to explore how various commercial, cultural and material processes have co-produced and changed the identity of A Child Is Born. Inspired by research on the biography of things, the article traces the life-course of the book and the photographic material it includes. Two principles of transformation are emphasised. In the first process, the book, although undergoing significant changes, preserved a material and discursive unity and moved in relatively fixed domains. This movement occurred in relation to an origin that can be understood in terms of creativity, authorship and copyright. The second process did not require the integrity of a creative work. Rather, it was the intense features of the book and its images, their affective and iconic power, which enabled the circulations and appropriations. It is argued that Nilsson’s book could be described as a thoroughfare for images and texts in constant motion, instead of a fixed and stable object. Entangled in a culture of circulation, it has taken on a dynamic of its own and has moved as much through accident as through design. In these changes, the book has become self-reflexive in its adjustments over a range of arenas and milieus. The life of (the images in) A Child Is Born encompasses many lives, each ensnared in the trajectories and transformations of others.
