“…Agriculture was tremendously important to the economy of the local peasants, because there were practically no secondary occupations in the area. For this reason, the decisions made in the enclosure process were of great consequence for the peasant households (Laine, 2020).…”

“…However, enclosure was a complex process with many considerations. For example, Laine (2020) shows that enclosures can reveal a lot about individual decision-making and ways of making compromises. Studies on enclosure often completely bypass the role of womenor the lack thereof.…”

“…The meaning of the village community in people's lives changed as a consequence; however, the process also came with many agreements that enabled economically affordable cooperation between the villagers, even though the land-use system that supported this cooperation was being abolished. The decisions concerning enclosure involved many major and minor questions regarding costs, use of labour, productivity of land, and risks of annual crop variation (Laine, 2020). Because the productivity of agriculture was low (Ojala & Nummela, 2018), choosing the wrong solutions could have been fatal for households, especially in years of crop failure.…”

This article studies gender roles in the economic decision-making of peasant farms in Southwest Finland in the late eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century. This is a new perspective on enclosure and a new context to study gender roles in economic matters. Decisions concerning enclosure were primarily made by male household heads. Exceptions to the decision-making norm open up a perspective onto a more detailed picture of gendered responsibility in economic matters in peasant households. The results show that the responsibility of a male head of a household for making decisions regarding the land was binding. Whereas men used representatives in extremely exceptional circumstances only, a half of the female household heads used a representative at least at some point. Both men and women primarily trusted the younger generation when it came to choosing representatives. Women attended enclosure meetings rarely, but when they did, their participation was not questioned. Women acted just like other stakeholders at the meeting.

“…The main purpose of this reform was to dismantle narrow plots of scattered fields and combine them into larger entities, to create a more cohesive and efficient system for food production. 69 It entailed a rather mandatory cooperation and the standardisation of farming methods, work schedules, and the size, number and divisions of blocks per farm, thus resolving matters of land, fences, and gates. 70 While its regulations were strict, many peasants embraced the system, as they sought to negotiate between the needs of the community and their own interests in a pragmatic way.…”

“…between May Day {vappu} and Michaelmas {mikkelinpäivä} (29 September). 73 Even if a farm did not share a common fence with others, its inhabitants needed to participate in the maintenance of the village fence. 74 The basic principle was that if anyone failed at doing their part, it affected others.…”

This article examines the material and socio-cultural mechanisms by which everyday urban and rural walking is controlled, regulated, limited, or affected, as seen through the lens of nineteenth century visual arts with support of literary and historical accounts. Inspired by the interdisciplinary research on walking, I discuss three cases of different cultural and historical backgrounds and examine therein the instances in which the experience of walking cannot fully take place, or its movements are shaped or controlled by real or imaginary forces, either external or internal, or even by other modes of transportation: 1) C. G. Carus’ socially constrained travelling in Italy in 1828, leading up to his painting Erinnerung an Neapel, 2) the history of the Pont Neuf and the use and regulation of Paris footways through lithographs and ‘impressionist’ paintings in the Third Republic, and 3) the motif of the ‘riukuaita’ (round-pole fence) in lithographs, landscape paintings and photographs during the Golden Age of Finnish Art. Thus, art objects are considered as both artworks and historical documents that illuminate the imaginary and actuality of historical events related to migration, bordering processes, and control of mobility.

From panic to business as usual: What coronavirus has revealed about migrant labour, agri‐food systems and industrial relations in the Nordic countries

et al. 2023

This article focuses on migrant labour in Nordic agriculture, wild berry picking and food processing. The starting point is the fear of a food crisis at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic (2020) because of the absence of migrant workers. The question was raised early in the pandemic if food systems in the Global North are vulnerable due to dependence on precarious migrant workers. In the light of this question, we assess the reactions of farmers and different actors in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden to what looked like an unfolding food crisis. In many ways, the reactions in the Nordic countries were similar to each other, and to broader reactions in the Global North, and we follow these reactions as they relate to migrant workers from an initial panic to a return to business as usual despite the continuation of the pandemic. In the end, 2020 proved to be an excellent year for Nordic food production in part because migrant workers were able to come. We discuss reasons why the Nordic countries did not face disruptions during the pandemic, map out patterns of labour precarity and segmentation for migrant labour in agriculture and food production in the Nordic countries and propose questions for further research.
