Knowing How: Estate Management, Practical Knowledge, and Agency among Aristocratic Women in Early Modern Sweden
In the seventeenth Century, Swedish aristocratic women successfully acted as managers of landed estates, mills and iron works, and exerted agency in politics. Making qualified decisions and overseeing complex enterprises, their actions in many ways contradicted the prevailing patriarchal ideology. While explanations for this agency have stressed several intersecting factors, the role of learning and practical knowledge has been less developed. In…
Servants as Creditors: Navigating the Moral Economy of an Early Modern Aristocratic Household
In this article, we argue that servants working for Count Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie (1622–1686) were part of an intricate system of economic and social dependencies. Focusing on the indebtedness of the aristocracy to its workers, we examine how deferred payment of wages opened up for negotiations between servant and master, and suggest that servants became de facto creditors to their master. In a moral economy built on trust, credit and the ide…
Gender and Materiality in Early Modern English Gloves
This article explores the complex interactions of gender with the materiality of the processes of becoming and being a glove in the early modern period. Through an investigation of gloves, glove parts, and their ephemeral presentation (through leather, embroidery, and perfume), we argue that gender and materiality act in dialogic ways to produce power relations, and that considerations of gender, power, and materiality are central to our understa…
Gendering Objects at the V&A and Vasa Museums
This article presents two case studies, which are the result of the application of a gendered interpretative tool to the collections at the Victoria & Albert Museum (London) and the Vasa Museum (Stockholm). Objects and their gendered narratives within the museums’ collections were researched across their lifecycle, from commission and manufacture to consumption and display in a museum setting. This research was developed in close co-operation bet…

Gender and Political Culture in Early Modern Europe, 1400–1800. Un article de la revue Renaissance and Reformation / Renaissance et Réforme (Volume 42, numéro 2, printemps 2019, p. 7-270) diffusée par la plateforme Érudit
Facing Otherness in Early Modern Sweden: Travel, Migration and Material Transformations, 1500–1800, ed. Magdalena Naum and Fredrik Ekengren
The chapters in this volume edited by Magdalena Naum and Fredrik Ekengren are a welcome contribution to the connected history of early modern Sweden. It aims, with an international audience in mind, to present a picture of transformation and mobility in early modern Sweden, as well as exploring the increasingly global connections of which Sweden was part during this period. By building on new scholarship in post-medieval archaeology and a new int…
Gender and Political Culture in Early Modern Europe, 1400─1800
Gender and Political Culture in Early Modern Europe investigates the gendered nature of political culture across early modern Europe by exploring the relationship between gender, power, and political authority and influence. This collection offers a rethinking of what constituted ‘politics’ and a reconsideration of how men and women operated as part of political culture. It demonstrates how underlying structures could enable or constrain politica…

Nazism som forskningsobjekt
How is research and teaching on Nazism best conducted? Despite the nearly universal condemnation of an unsanctioned "lecture" by a member of a Swedish Nazi party held at Umeå University in December 1997, a number of complex questions have been raised about the role of the researcher and the research object, as well as about the qualitative difference between conducting thorough-going research into Nazism, past and present, and allowing Nazi ideol…
De homosexuella rollerna: Om underordning och osynliggörande i TV-serier
The article deals with female and male homosexual characters in 41 TV-series shown in Sweden from the 1970's until today. Most of them are American, British or Australian. There were no gays or lesbians in TV-series before 1976. After that, a period followed with few, male and ridiculed characters. The 1990's however have changed much: today homosexuality is treated in a more realistic way, and there are more lesbians in TV-series. The homosexual…
