Between the 1860s and 1930s, the peripheral port town Gothenburg was catapulted into industrial modernity. Public pleasures functioned as vector of spatial transformation and urban self-understanding, and as crystalizing point for urban (counter-) narratives.

1. Pleasure institutions and the (re)-making of inner city borders (1860-1923)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How were borders, particularly those between \u201cport districts\u201d and the \u201ccity centre,\u201d constructed, maintained and given meaning through institutions of pleasure, and how did these borders in turn shape the urban pleasure culture?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Deviant pleasure practices as counter narratives (1880s-1920s) <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deviant practices of pleasure by social and ethnic minorities are seen as counter-narratives to the contemporary modernity discourse dominated by disciplined popular pleasures and the liberal spirit of some bourgeois pleasures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Exoticizing and \u2018folklig\u2019 performances on Gothenburg\u2019s scenes (1880s-1930s)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The entanglement and tensions between \u201cthe exotic\u201d and \u201cthe folksy\u201d in public entertainment are investigated, tracing the transformation of their relationship in the context of the emerging industrial welfare city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
