    Nordic Fascism

    Nordic Fascism Investigating the Political Project Behind Bollhusmötet Master’s thesis (45 credits) Author’s name: Erik Blohmé Name of supervisor: Heléne Lööw Semester: Spring 2021 Date of Submission: May 17, 2021 HISTORISKA INSTITUTIONEN Abstract This thesis investigates the political project behind the infamous tennis hall meeting, commonly referred to as Bollhusmötet, that took place in February of 1939 in Uppsala, Sweden. Gathering in the local tennis hall, the members of the Uppsala Student Union decided to send a resolution to the Swedish king protesting the reception of Jewish refugees into Sweden in the wake of the 1938 November Pogrom. The protest was widely influential, spurring similar resolutions at other universities and arguably influencing Swedish refugee policy on a national level. The event itself was orchestrated by a group of nationalist students as part of a political project aiming to establish a Nordic power bloc with Sweden as the central power. This political milieu rejected the geopolitics of both England and Germany to promote a specific form of Nordic fascism. Antisemitism was a central part of their ideology, both regarding short- and long-term goals, and antisemitism was also the ultimate motive behind the tennis hall meeting. The architects of these events joined the mainstream conservative milieu in 1940 as part of a strategy to abolish the Swedish political system from within and restructure the Swedish state according to a fascist model bearing many similarities to national socialism. Keywords: Bollhusmötet, Heimdal, Den Svenska Linjen, Arvid Fredborg, fascism, antisemitism, national socialism, Nazism. Acknowledgments I would like to express my gratitude to Heléne Lööw who has supervised this thesis with patience, honesty, and great care.

    Uppsala 2016-10-26 UPPSALAS STUDENTNATIONER Genom samarbete i Kuratorskonventet Antagen av Kuratorskonventet 2009-12-16 Ändrad 2016-11-16 Policy om nationsstatus Syfte Denna policy har till syfte att för nationerna, Uppsala universitet och övriga intressenter deklarera vad en nation är, vilken verksamhet nationerna bedriver och vad som i övrigt berättigar till status som nation, utöver vad som föreskrivs i Högskolelagen (1992:1434). Omfång Denna policy har antagits enhälligt av nationernas samarbetsorgan, Kuratorskonventet, som innefattar samtliga nationer vid Uppsala universitet. Policyn omfattar detta dokument. Bilagor gäller ej som policy. Nationer vid Uppsala universitet är: Stockholms nation, Uplands nation, Gästrike-Hälsinge nation, Östgöta nation, Västgöta nation, Södermanlands-Nerikes nation, Västmanlands-Dala nation, Smålands nation, Göteborgs nation, Kalmar nation, Värmlands nation, Norrlands nation och Gotlands nation. Bakgrund Nationerna vid Uppsala universitet har under lång tid, allt sedan 1600-talet, haft en stark koppling till Uppsala universitet. Den studiesociala verksamheten, Inspektorsämbetena, medverkan vid akademiska ceremonier och andra samverkansformer har historiskt sett markerat samhörigheten med Uppsala universitet. Kår- och nationsobligatoriets avskaffande den 1 juli 2010 föranledde att nationerna vidtog en rad åtgärder för att långsiktigt säkra sin fortlevnad. Att tydligt deklarera vad som är en nation och vilken typ av verksamhet en nation bedriver visar varför nationerna vid Uppsala universitet är allmännyttiga. Nationerna utgör sammanslutningar av studenter inom vilka individens rätt att organisera sig och utforma sin egna studiesociala situation oavsett bakgrund, kön och ålder tas tillvara. Nation vid Uppsala universitet ska - Rikta sin huvudsakliga verksamhet mot och vara öppen för studenter som bedriver eftergymnasiala studier vid universitet eller högskola i Uppsala. - Vara politiskt och religiöst obunden.

    Arkiverande studenter Om arkivhanteringen vid studentnationerna i Uppsala Mikael Larsson Institutionen för ABM Uppsatser inom arkivvetenskap ISSN 1651-6087 Magisterexamensarbete, 15 högskolepoäng, 2010, nr 64 Författare/Author Mikael Larsson Svensk titel Arkiverande studenter – om arkivhanteringen vid studentnationerna i Uppsala English Title Archiving students – on the archival management at the Student Nations in Uppsala Handledare/Supervisor Reine Rydén Abstract The purpose of this study has been to examine the archival management at the 14 Student Nations in Uppsala. This may be relevant to study to extend the research in the field that Berndt Frediksson calls “empirical archival science”. Another reason is that the Student Nations hold a unique position as organisations and their archivists holds a unique position from a professional point of view as they mostly consist of students without professional archivist training. I have mainly focused on why the archival management at the Nations looked as they did. The main method that was used in the study was semi-structured interviews where I interviewed the archivists at all of the Nations. The functions of the archives of the Nations were the same as for other societies, with the exception that these archives also were used by officials and other members as a support for finding ideas about how to run the Nation today in several ways. The archival regulations and practices that were generally followed by the Nations were the same as for societies in general, that is, among other things, the use of “Allmänna arkivschemat” (the Swedish standard archival finding aid subject heading system) and other Swedish archival standards.

Vi vill även rikta ett varmt tack till alla förste kuratorer som deltagit i studien. Uppsala den 14 januari 2010 John Eriksson Tomas Wahlgren Sammandrag Uppsatsen tar sin utgångspunkt i att kår- och nationsobligatoriet den 1 juli 2010 ska avskaffas. Det blir då frivilligt för studenter vid Uppsala universitet att vara medlem i någon studentnation. Uppsatsen syfte är att undersöka Uppsalas studentnationers uppfattning av deras marknadsposition och hur väl deras strategier inför kårobligatoriets avskaffande överensstämmer med denna. Syftet är även att utifrån ett teoretiskt perspektiv rörande tjänsteleverantörers strategier i samband med avregleringar, analysera vilka strategiska åtgärder nationerna prioriterar i samband med kårobligatoriets avskaffande. En teoretisk referensram rörande tjänsteleverantörers strategiska åtgärder har använts i detta syfte och operationaliserats i uppsatsens metod. Uppsatsens forskningsansats är av kvalitativ natur och personliga semistrukturerade intervjuer har utförts med förste kuratorer på sex av studentnationerna. Studiens resultat visar att det finns en relativt hög överensstämmelse mellan nationernas uppfattning av deras marknadsposition och deras strategiska åtgärder inför kårobligatoriets avskaffande.

En kvalitativ studie av Norrlands nations image och positionering) Number of pages: 41 (43 including enclosures) Author: Ida Hansson Käll Tutor: Peder Hård af Segerstad Course: Media and Communication Studies 30hp Period: Fall 2008 University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Information Science, Uppsala University Purpose/Aim: The purpose of this essay is to identify what students in Uppsala and the management of Norrlands nation think of the activities at the nation's daily schedule. The image of Norrlands nation will be compared to the nation's profile and identity, its currently profile and position in Uppsala. Proposals of preventive measures will also be presented. Material/Method: I've done two interviews with the management of Norrlands nation and two focus group interviews with three students in each group. During the interviews I have focused on the image, profile and identity of Norrlands nation and its strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities to compare in a SWOT-analysis. I've used a semantic differential to compare Norrlands nation to the two second biggest nations in Uppsala. Main results: Norrlands nation is mostly aware of its strengths and weaknesses that the students accentuated during the interviews.
