Det nya gränsöverskridande våldet: Terroristen och den tidiga globaliseringen
No full textI bokens inledning skriver Birgitta Svensson och Anna Wallette: "Individen och staden spelade stor roll i diskussioner kring vilken väg man ville att samhället skulle ta. Skulle man följa exemplet från ryska nihilister och spränga fram en ny samhällsordning med våld? Industrin och teknikens framsteg, inte minst dynamitens landvinningar, utmanade politiken. I ”Det nya gränsöverskridande våldet: Terroristen och den tidiga globaliseringen” berättar teknik- och vetenskapshistorikern Mats Fridlund hur den revolutionära terrorismen fick genomslag då den presenterade sig själv som intellektuellt motiverad. Den var resonabel, då den var mer rättvist och effektiv än tidigare former av våld, och rationell då den var grundad i den moderna vetenskapen och tekniken. Den andra industriella revolutionen med dess tekniska nyheter var ett villkor för sådan terrorism. Den myllrande staden var en förutsättning för att attentatsmännen och -kvinnorna skulle lyckas i sina uppsåt. Det nya våldet passade inte för en okontrollerbar massa, och de nya attentatsmänniskorna skulle inte få förbli i ett namnlöst kollektiv. Porträtt av dem spreds i tidningar, vilket ledde till att även terrorister blev celebriteter. Men de var ändå våldsverkare som måste motarbetas för att samhället ska vara stabilt och tryggt. I en modern tid individualiserar man sina medborgare och gör således individen identifierbar. Tidens nya institutioner vidareutvecklade metoder för att uppnå detta mål.

Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director
