Syftet med detta arbete är att utforska hur Svenska Turistföreningen, i sina årsböcker mellan 1915-1919, förhåller sig i sina utsagor om människorna och landskapen till det regionala och det nationella. De frågeställningar som använts har varit: Vilka rumsligt anknutna utsagor finns om befolkningen i de olika landskapen och om landskapen som sådana? I vilken ut-sträckning bär dessa utsagor en regional eller nationell prägel? Sätts det regionala i kontrast till det nationella, eller ses det regionala som en del av det nationella? Hur talrika är dessa utsagor? Finns det en tendens att vissa landskapsskildringar innehåller fler eller färre av dessa utsagor? Finns det en förändring i dessa utsagor under den tid som undersökts? Källmaterialet har utgjorts av Svenska Turistföreningens årsskrifter mellan 1915-1919. Dessa behandlar Uppland, Småland, Bohuslän, Västmanland samt Skåne i den ordningen. För att uppnå syftet har en kvalitativ textanalys använts. Resultatet pekar på att det finns rumsligt anknutna utsa-gor i alla böcker men mängden och arten varierar kraftigt. Det finns alltså landskap som ges en starkare regionalitet, men i dessa fall knyter man detta landskap till nationen genom att t.ex. hävda att det regionala i landskapet är något utmärkande för hela landet.

Denna studie undersöker hur formuläret Organiserad Verksamhet i Renbetesfjäll inom förvaltning i Västra Jämtlandsfjällen förstås och används av människor som arbetar i besöksnäringen och i småföretagande. Med intervjuer som empiriskt material diskuterar studien hur begreppen funktion och struktur är relaterade till dominerande idéer i områdets förvaltning. Som teoretiskt perspektiv används Tim Ingolds dwelling-perspektiv. Studien når fram till att formuläret inte uppfyller de behov aktörerna har för att ha ett tillfredsställande samarbete med varandra och renskötarna. Formuläret för förvaltning är inte anpassat efter en lokal kulturell kontext, den är skapad utifrån idéen om landskapet som multifunktionellt vilket studien formulerar kritik gentemot.

Nationalism during the early 20th century, was often shaped around efforts to create feelings of fellowship within the frontiers. Fellow feelings was considered as a necessity to convince the people that their efforts served mutual goals. Beginning in the 19th century, the European nations experienced a great many projects for this purpose. In the early 20th century the efforts grew. The danger of war and the competition for economic power, contributed the increase of nationalist movements. At the same time, many influential intellectuals also expressed apprehensions about the urbanized way of life; measures were necessary to secure the future success of the nation. The national movements in Sweden, played a prominent role in the creation of a greater patriotic feeling. This paper is about one of these movements: Swedish Tourist Association (STF), founded in 1885. Around the motto “Know your country”, STF promoted Swedish tourism aiming to spread knowledge of the country and its people. Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities and Michel Foucault’s Discipline &amp; Punish has influenced the interpretation of STF’s yearbooks 1908-1916. This paper aims at explaining STF’s activities as a combination of efforts to create fellow feelings among the Swedes, and efforts to discipline them to a healthier way of life. STF’s vision was to construct mutual heartfelt emotions towards the Swedish nature. The sound nature was seen as a symbol for the sound nation. It was thereby desirable that the Swedes were given the opportunity to experience this nature. Tourism became a technique to solve both the need for Swedish fellowship and the need for healthy citizens. Tourism placed the Swedish bodies in the Swedish nature, which disciplined them to mutual patriotic feellings for their beautiful country, and at the same time gave them the healthy constitution and moral strength that should characterize every Swede.
