Scripts of Kingship : Essays on Bernadotte and Dynastic Formation in an Age of Revolution
- 2008
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- When French Marshal Jean Baptiste Bernadotte was elected heir to the Swedish Throne in 1810, a dramatic dynastic venture commenced. In an age of revolutions, marked by political as well as cultural upheavals, the commoner from Pau was transformed into King Charles XIV John and the head of a new royal dynasty in Sweden and Norway. Although fraught with challenges, the venture proved successful. As restoration set in, and the Napoleonides of Europe fell one after the other, Bernadotte held fast, and today the dynasty is approaching its bicentennial on the throne.In nine illustrated essays, the formation of a dynasty is explored as it unfolded in media such as ceremonies, spatial arrangements, opera performances, publicity and panegyrics.

Laughter, humor and the (un)making of gender : historical and cultural perspectives
- 2015. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A fresh look at longstanding questions, across a temporal range (classical antiquity to the early modern) and a geographical range (Asia to Europe, Islam to Christendom). The optimistic investigators find gender subversion, women's agency, and men's self-criticism in comic forms from high (Homer) to low (folklore, burlesque, jokes, cartoons), imagining a complex audience.Humor is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. Throughout history, it has played a crucial role in defining gender roles and identities. This collection offers an in-depth thematic examination of this relationship between humor and gender, spanning a variety of historical and cultural backdrops. Bringing together a medley of case studies diachronically and across cultures, the book examines gendered humorous expressions from classical antiquity to the late eighteenth century and across visual culture, literature and performance in both European and Asian premodern contexts.

The Jewish-Christian Encounter in Medieval Preaching
- 2014
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book explores the complexity of preaching as a phenomenon in the medieval Jewish-Christian encounter. This was not only an "encounter" as physical meeting or confrontation (such as the forced attendance of Jews at Christian sermons that took place across Europe), but also an "imaginary" or theological encounter in which Jews remained a figure from a distant constructed time and place who served only to underline and verify Christian teachings. Contributors also explore the Jewish response to Christian anti-Jewish preaching in their own preaching and religious instruction. Contents:1.

Fear and Loathing in the North : Jews and Muslims in Medieval Scandinavia and the Baltic Region
- 2015
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Due to the scarcity of sources regarding actual Jewish and Muslim communities and settlements, there has until now been little work on either the perception of or encounters with Muslims and Jews in medieval Scandinavia and the Baltic Region. The volume provides the reader with the possibility to appreciate and understand the complexity of Jewish-Christian-Muslim relations in the medieval North. The contributions cover topics such as cultural and economic exchange between Christians and members of other religions; evidence of actual Jews and Muslims in the Baltic Rim; images and stereotypes of the Other.The volume thus presents a previously neglected field of research that will help nuance the overall picture of interreligious relations in medieval Europe.ContentsIntroduction1.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Historische Tatsachen und Naturgesetze mögen gegeben sein, aber zum Verständnis derselben sowie der Umsetzung in konkrete Handlungen bedarf es der Vermittlung, die dieses Wissen in menschliche Lebenswirklichkeiten übersetzt, überträgt und übermittelt. Erst dadurch kann es relevant werden. Erst in der Überschreitung der Grenze vom Gegebenen hin zum Verstehbaren entsteht menschliches Wissen. Ein solches Wissen ist immer historisch wandelbar und kann kulturell verschieden aussehen, denn es ist immer jeweils gegenwärtig gedeutetes und deutendes Wissen. Bei dieser Vermittlung kommt der Literatur eine besondere Bedeutung zu, da sie dieses Wissens nicht nur als Repertoire bedarf, sondern es immer auch veranschaulicht und damit wahrnehmbar macht. Eben dadurch wird Literatur zu einem unerschöpflichen Reservoir menschlichen Wissens.Die Beiträge des Bandes gehen der variationsreichen Beziehung von Literatur und Wissen in der deutschen, polnischen, russischen und tschechischen Literaturgeschichte nach, gerade auch um den transnationalen und transdisziplinären Charakter dieser Relation hervorzuheben, die im Zentrum einer mehrjährigen Kooperation zwischen dem Slavischen Institut der Akademie der Wissenschaften der Tschechischen Republik und dem »Forum für deutsche Gegenwartsliteratur und Deutschlandstudien« an der Universität Göteborg stand.

Seeing Like a Smuggler: Borders from Below
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The word smuggler often unleashes a simplified, negative image painted by the media and the authorities. Such state-centric perspectives hide many social, political and economic relations generated by smuggling. This book looks at the practice through the eyes of the smugglers, revealing how their work can be productive, subversive and deeply sociopolitical. By tracing the illegalised movement of people and goods across borders, Seeing Like a Smuggler shows smuggling as a contradiction within the nation-state system, and in a dialectical relation with the national order of things. It raises questions on how smuggling engages and unsettles the ethics, materialities, visualities, histories and the colonial power relations that form borders and bordering. Covering a wide spectrum of approaches from personal reflections and ethnographies to historical accounts, cultural analysis and visual essays, the book spans the globe from Colombia to Ethiopia, Singapore to Guatemala, Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, and from Kurdistan to Bangladesh, to show how people deal with global inequalities and the restrictions of poverty and immobility.
