Honour, Masculinity and Corporality in the Officer Corps of Early Eighteenth-Century Sweden
2010
Military honour and physical commitment to serve king and fatherland played a central role in the ideals of the army of Charles XII of Sweden. These ideals were formed within a culture in which the role of the warrior, dictated by a code of honour, was constantly challenged. My main empirical primary sources consist of the archivale records of the Swedish Diet, which included Placement Committee records from the Diet of 1723. An honourable man had the right to a livelihood and a respectable position in society. My aim is to show that, in order to obtain such a position, a military man had to present himself as someone who had offered his body in the service of his king and country. An appea…
Democratic institutions and recognition of individual identities
2016
This paper draws from two central intuitions that characterize modern western societies. The first is the normative claim that our identities should be recognized in an authentic way. The second intuition is that our common matters are best organized through democratic decision-making and democratic institutions. It is argued here that while deliberative democracy is a promising candidate for just organization of recognition relationships, it cannot fulfil its promise if recognition is understood either as recognition of ‘authentic’ collective identities or as recognition of too atomistic or individualized subjects. If deliberative democracy is to be understood as successfully providing au…
Insults, humour and freedom of speech
2016
In this article we argue that freedom of speech should be understood as a social freedom. In the public discussion after the Charlie Hebdo attacks, it has often been understood as an absolute right to say anything – to offend, to make a fool of others and of oneself, and to express any opinion regardless of the consequences. We challenge this view and propose that advocating freedom of speech without understanding its social foundations is misleading and counterproductive. Based on the critical social theories of Erich Fromm, Charles Taylor and Axel Honneth, we show that there is an alternative tradition in which freedom is fundamentally rooted in social relations and therefore requires re…
The militarization of public order at the end of the reign of Charles III: The Instruction of 1784
2004
El gobierno de Carlos III, durante los últimos años de su reinado, involucra al Ejército en tareas policiales de persecución de la delincuencia y el contrabando, y responsabiliza a los Capitanes Generales de las grandes demarcaciones territoriales del mantenimiento del orden público en sus distritos. La Instrucción de 1784 regula esta nueva competencia militar. El presente trabajo analiza el origen de la Instrucción, los primeros años de su aplicación y el balance de resultados y problemas que realizan los altos mandos militares a instancia gubernamental en 1788. The Government of Carlos III, in the last years of his reign, assigned to the Army police tasks of pursuit of the delinquency and…
