Upploppskulturer: Stockholm och landsort i svenska 1800-talsupplopp

Sammanfattning

This article categorizes all 96 known riots in Sweden between 1793 and 1869, from the perspective of the goals of the participants. Three quarters of all riots were either reactions to actions by government agents or based on a moral economy as discussed by E. P. Thompson in his classic article. Such riots, common in the provinces, were next to non-existent in Stockholm, however. In the capital, riots were instigated to affect current political issues, such as parliamentary reform or discussions on political right reforms, or to fight with the police and garrisons. The conclusion is that not only was the riot a wellestablished and flexible way of doing popular politics in Sweden, even as late as the 1860s, but also that there were two rather distinct riot cultures in the country, one more traditional in the provinces and one more explicitly political and contentious in the capital.
