CONTACT:Dr Natalia Mora-Sitja
DESCRIPTION:The object of the talk is to discuss the formation of the self
  in relation to space\, gender and property in the early modern period usi
 ng the example of the pulling down of "dishonest houses" in Stockholm in J
 uly 1719. Through court proceedings and inventories of lost goods we can f
 ollow not only how thirteen houses were attacked a summer night\, but also
  how the crowd used a gendered conception of space in legitimizing their a
 ttacks\, how public and private issues were blurred and entwined with perc
 eptions of property when the local community restored order afterwards\, a
 nd how the attacked women used their claims to their lost possessions as a
  means of refashioning themselves after the attacks.
