Technology and Gender in Swedish Agriculture
When milking machines were introduced on Swedish farms during the first half of the twentieth century, milking and taking care of cows had long been women's responsibility, and adult men seldom entered the cowshed. As dairying became a commercial operation and the number and yield of cows increased, farm wives, daughters, maidservants, and hired milkmaids continued to perform this work. By the end of World War I, however, so many young women had …
Market growth, coordination problems and control – the timing of enclosures in East Central Sweden 1807–1892
The enclosure movement was a significant element of the agricultural revolution in Sweden. Legislation from 1749 onwards, opened up for Storskifte, which reduced the number of plots per owner, but did not touch the villages’ common field or housing structures. The edicts of Enskifte (1803–1807) and Laga skifte (1827), however, made possible the final dissolution of the open-field system. According to the Laga skifte legislation one single landown…
Why Do Middle‐Class Positions Matter? The Alignment of Short‐Term Rental Suppliers to the Interests of Capital
Underlying the idea of the middle classes there is a contradictory positionality, the relations of which ultimately enhance capital accumulation. By opening Marxist critique to Weberian approaches to class, we explain how the self‐ascription of short‐term rental (STR) suppliers to the middle‐class idea boosts exploitation and accumulation. Housing income, and recently that originating in STRs, has been used to maintain the symbolic and material s…
The controversy around agricultural rationalization and rural communities in post Second World War Sweden
This paper explores explanations, interpretations, perceptions and valuations of post war agricultural rationalization and the interlinked rural transformation and urbanization processes in Sweden. Both political and market driven factors are considered. Specifically, the local government reforms of the 1950s and 1960s are highlighted as they tended to put an end to the autonomy of rural communities. Political protests against these developments,…
La historia y los estudios rurales a partir de los sesenta
Este texto analiza el cambio temático en la historia rural desde los años sesenta del siglo pasado hasta nuestros días. Los primeros escritos se centraron en la transición del feudalismo al capitalismo, en el crecimiento de las condiciones previas del desarrollo industrial a través de desarrollos dentro de la sociedad agraria preindustrial y, en gran medida, en la agencia campesina. Más tarde, el enfoque cambió hacia los estudios que incorporaban…
Smallholders’ and large estates’ reaction to changed market conditions 1860–1910
Reduced transport costs and income growth in industrialising European countries changed the market conditions for European farmers in the late nineteenth century. Grain prices fell while dairy prices rose. It has been claimed that these price changes hit large grain farmers with vested interests in grain trade particularly hard, while owner-occupiers and smallholders fared better and with help of developing cooperative associations, came out as s…
Urban tourism via dispossession of oeuvres
Most of the anthropology of tourism has focused either on authenticity or on the commoditization of culture. Furthermore, tourism has been looked at as a service sector and, at most, as an urban strategy. Few authors have investigated the organization of (in)formal labor in the tourism industry outside the wage form. I address this gap by looking at the living and dead labor that the production of cultural heritage is about. I argue that the tour…

Making of Heritage
Imprisoning Ethnic Heritage in French Guiana
What kind of life can it be, I wonder, to produce this extraordinary fussiness, this extraordinary decision to call certain things culture and then separate them, as with a park wall, from ordinary people and ordinary work
Subsistence Crises during the Ancien and Nouveau Régime in Sweden? An Interpretative Review
Cet article interroge la pertinence des concepts d'Ancien et de Nouveau Régime pour analyser l'augmentation du niveau de vie en Suède au xviiie et au xixe siècle. Trois tournants sont identifiés. Dans les années 1720, on observe un phénomène de rattrapage après une longue période combinant famine, guerre, épidémies et crise démographique. Si la production agricole per capita augmente alors, le niveau de vie reste bas tout au long d'un xviiie sièc…
Fent barri
This paper explores the meanings of the local expression fer barri (neighbourhood making) in a gentrifying area located in the Historic Centre of Ciutat de Mallorca (Spain). After closely examining the relation of fer barri with tourism in Mallorca, I analyse the tensions between the urban planning schemes unleashed by the public authorities upon this heritage-loaded territory and the practices of its inhabitants. I argue that the concept of neig…
Eli F. Heckscher, the ‘food budgets’, and Swedish food consumption from the 16th to the 19th century
Open any general work of economic history that deals with food consumption among the ‘broad masses’, of the population of European countries, from medieval times to the beginning of the nineteenth century. If you find any references to conditions in Sweden, they are probably to Eli F. Heckscher's studies based on the ‘food budgets’, (utspisningsstater)of royal estates, manors, brukcommunities and the court. You will find that Heckscher's figures …
On the stratification of the Swedish peasant class
Two research projects conducted under the auspices of the Institute of Economic History at the University of Uppsala, viz. ‘Capital Formation in Sweden 1750–1860’, and ‘The Structure of Ownership and Cultivation in Swedish Agriculture 1720–1860’, have generated a number of papers, mainly by undergraduates. These papers are only limited pilot studies of individual parishes (socknar) or hundreds (härader), but they do suggest some patterns of a mor…
