Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Then Swänska Argus, a weekly journal in the Spectator pattern, was published in Stockholm between 1732 and 1734. Whereas the editor and author Olof Dalin (1708–63) has gained much fame for the enterprise, not much is known about the printer Benjamin Gottlieb Schneider (16??–1738). In this essay I focus on the available evidence about the printer and printing conditions, as well as on the fact that several essays and shorter segments in Then Swänska Argus are addressed to the printer or deal with printing issues. My thesis is that this content played a part in the identity formation of the medium, as it stands for the editor’s interest in the printer and related technology at a time when the moral weekly was new in Sweden. By displaying the making of the medium and the difficulties around it, these passages enable readers to witness the drama of production where the printer plays a leading role. Furthermore, as the narrator Argus is addressing the readers directly and pleading with them to be loyal followers in spite of the printing errors or other potential problems, Argus is also making them actively aware of their part in this drama. In so doing, an education of the readership in questions pertaining to the production process is taking place.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Personliga brev utgör traditionellt sett ett viktigt källmaterial inom alla de historiskt orienterade ämnena, exempelvis i biografiska studier. Under senare år har brev också uppmärksammats som en berättarform med särskilda kännetecken, som kan beforskas t.ex. från retoriska och narratologiska infallsvinklar. Bl.a. inom anglosaxisk poststrukturalistiskt inspirerad forskning och diskussion har synen på brevs textualitet också lett till ett generellt ifrågasättande av fakta- eller informationsvärdet eller av bruket av brev som dokument. Idag tycks intresset för brevutgåvor och för brev som biografisk källa åter vara stort i Sverige. Det aktualiserar frågan om hur brevdiskurser förstås och behandlas som historiska referenser. I artikeln framhåller jag risken för att de kulturellt inövade föreställningarna om brev som autentiska dokument och som sanningsbärare skymmer komplexa kulturhistoriska aspekter av brevpraktiken. Syftet är att problematisera vissa för-givet-taganden om brevberättandets direkta hänvisning till en historisk verklighet, till fakta eller sanning. Jag lyfter också fram exempel på forskare som på fruktbara sätt arbetat med brevs textuella, mediala och relationella aspekter, och som därmed visat på alternativa sätt att förstå brevets sociala roll.

Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The thesis deals with the early press of 'moral weeklies' in Sweden during the period 1730 to 1773, focussing on media technological conditions and the uses of the epistolary form. This genre, which initially followed the pattern of the English Spectator, emerged in the 1730s with nine journals produced in Stockholm. These were the first periodicals in Sweden that aimed to entertain as well as instruct. The study begins with the aim of finding explanations for their sudden emergence, by looking into the cultural and tech-nological conditions of the period; such as printing, distribution, censorship practices, and potential audiences (chapters 3–6). The fall of autocracy and the rise of an early parlamentarianism provided the background. Stockholm attracted printers and book dealers, and a new generation of literati made careers in the state adminstration. Among these were several of the journals’ editors, as well as potential readers. In the next part (chapters 7–8), the extensive and varied use of the epistolary form in these weeklies is analysed, as serving different purposes. A closer examination and interpretation is made of the epistolary material in Sedolärande Mercurius [Didactic Mercury] (1730-1731), edited by Carl and Edvard Carlsson, and Then Swänska Argus [The Swedish Argus] (1732-1734), edited by Olof Dalin. In Sedolärande Mercurius a number of letters explore the theme of problems with foreign trade; and in Then Swänska Argus satires in epistolary form paint a picture of ideas from abroad posing a threat to social life, and especially to married life. The last part (chapters 9–10) follows these trends further in time, by looking into the uses of the epistolary form in a couple of journals in the latter half of the 18th century: Bref Om Blandade Ämnen [Letters about a variety of subjects] (1754), edited by Carl Christoffer Gjörwell; and Brefwäxling [Letter Exchange] (1772–1773) by Catharina Ahlgren. Brefwäxling in particular differs substantially from the journals in the 1730s, a fact that is discussed in terms of a transition from oral culture to a more literary one, new trends in epistolary rhetoric, and the gender of the narrator. The methods used in the study are archival research and textual analysis.
