Homelands Lost and Gained : Slavic Migration and Settlement on Bornholm in the Early Middle Ages
- 2008
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This doctoral thesis examines early medieval Slavic migration to the island of Bornholm (Denmark). With a combination of interdisciplinary theories and approaches, which focus on human translocation and memory and identity construction, a holistic approach to the studies of migration in archaeology is proposed. It is argued that in order to address cases of migration it is necessary to consider the historical and social context that preceded such movements as well as to pay attention to the processes ensuing migration. Thus in this study attention is given to the contemporaneous historical events in the western parts of the Baltic Sea, which is followed by archaeological analyses of remains of household activities, burial rituals and objects related to female and male dress. These analyses form the basis for a discussion on the possible effects of resettlement on the creation of immigrant identity, immigrants’ perception of themselves, and their positioning between the homelands that they have recently lost and the new landscapes that they found themselves in. This thesis addresses several fundamental questions related to archaeological research on migration as well as to the processes that follow human translocations. The study considers how to approach prehistoric and early historical migrations in archaeology to account for the complexity of the subject. Inspired by the theory of practice and phenomenological thinking questions related to the role and the nature of routines, habits and everyday interactions with material things in human life and the way they might have been affected by translocation are touched upon. The process of “translation” of a foreign landscape into a homeland is also explored in the dissertation.

Mellan makten och himmelriket : perspektiv på Hallands medeltida kyrkor.
- 2009
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of the thesis is to discuss church building, the architectural design of Romanesque and Gothic churches and the use and symbolic interpretation of church buildings in the medieval period. It is suggested that churches were built for a variety of reasons, that the construction process may have been complicated and that the final result was not always the expected one. Many social groups were involved in the project, not only the elite. Churches may have acted as settings for the display of power, but they also facilitated the assessment and questioning of power. The church was an ambiguous building that people interpreted in different ways. The symbolic content of the church also changed over time. The mutability of the monuments is emphasized. The importance of considering the church’s religious significance is also stressed. Religion should not be viewed merely as an instrument used by the elite to promote power, but as an underlying ideology permeating the whole of society. Architecture can be viewed as an instrument to help make power more permanent and less dependent on individual agents. Churches can also be seen as venues for the staging of social encounters. The architectural design of the Romanesque church served to promote an idea of Christian authority and the universal power of the Church. It therefore acted as a suitable setting for elevating the groups whose place it was to maintain this divinely instituted regime on earth, that is to say, the clergy and the secular elite. The Gothicization of Romanesque churches meant that the character of the buildings was changed fundamentally, and that the hierarchical and aristocratic expressions were softened. The second part of the dissertation is an empirical application of some of the theoretical concepts outlined in the first part. The geographical framework is the province of Halland. The medieval churches in Halland can be considered a fairly neglected academic research subject. The thesies therefore also provides a general overwiev of the medieval church architecture in the province.

Den medeltida byns sociala dimensioner
- 2006
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This PhD thesis is made up of five independent studies and a comprehensive synthesis. The first three studies are published 2001 in the book Vem behöver en by? Kyrkheddinge, struktur och strategi under tusen år (pp. 1-95) (Who needs a village? Kyrkheddinge, Structure and Strategy During a Thousand Years). The remaining two parts and the synthesis are published in the volume Den medeltida byns sociala dimensioner (The Social Dimensions of the Medieval Village). The common factor which unites the five studies is that they all explore the social dimensions of the village from different perspectives. The studies deal with issues regarding the function of the villages, the relation between individuals and groups, the link between overarching ideologies, social processes and structures - and the living conditions of the individual. Other central concepts in the studies are the impact of space and the built environment on the social organisation, and the interaction between various aspects of society. The objective of the thesis was to explore the role and function of the villages in the development of medieval society, e.g. how humans, the landscape and the production were influenced and structured by the villages. A particular focus was placed on acknowledging the social dimensions of village life such as how gender relations were used to adjust the relationship between villagers and the surrounding world. Another aim was to assess the substantial village formation which occurred in Scania during the Viking Age and Early Middle Ages in order to see what social consequences were brought on by the change. Special attention was focusing on the archaeological investigation of Kyrkheddinge village in south western Scania. Results of several humanistic and social disciplines, such as archaeology, history, ethnology, sociology, human geography, art history and gender theory were used.
