Rome and the guidebook tradition : from the Middle Ages to the 20th century
- 2019
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Almost everyone has used a guidebook, when travelling or in the armchair at home. But how and when was the guidebook born? In this book, seven scholars from various disciplines argue that the guidebook emerged in Rome in the late Middle Ages, to form a surprisingly consistent model for guidebooks up to our time. The descriptions of must-see monuments, recommended routes, practical information and value-laden instructions have guided travellers to Rome through more than 1000 years.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- What is the relationship between the philosophical concept of the “autonomy of art” and the cultural policy-notion of “artistic freedom”? This article seeks to answer this question by taking the Swedish governmental report This Is How Free Art Is (Så fri är konsten 2021) and its reception in the Swedish main stream media as an emblematic example and by reading it symptomatically. Firstly, it traces the critical history of “artistic freedom” and the interrelated term “arm’s length distance”, primarily in the context of Great Britain. Secondly, it critically reconstructs the concept of the “autonomy of art” in the history of Western philosophy by making a critique of a fetishized notion of art’s autonomy in the name of l’art pour l’art. The main argument is that the idea about art’s autonomy, on which the Swedish report leans, resembles such philosophical and art historical idea of art’s autonomy. The claim is also that such an understanding of art does not tie up, either philosophically or historically, with the arm’s length principle, since they ultimately rely on different conceptions of art’s freedom.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The conquest and colonization of the northeastern Baltic Rim in the thirteenth century durably shaped religious and ethnic identities of and relations between the native population and the arriving crusaders. This article explores the codes and displays of hospitality in the anonymous ‘Livonian Rhymed Chronicle’, which are seen here as ways of conceptualizing the relationship and conflicts between the Teutonic Knights and the pagan or apostate people in Livonia. It asks what consequences the framing of the host-guest relations might have had for the self-comprehension of the chronicle’s author and his audience. The analysis of the chronicle is pursued along three lines: the first focuses on the questions of chivalry, courtesy, and conversion; the second explores different renditions of a miracle story of inhospitality from the 1220s ; the third focuses on the conceptual metaphors of hospitality as a way in which the Teutonic Knights’ accommodated their adversaries’ viewpoints. In its conclusions, the article argues how a broad focus on the institutions, concepts, and discourses of hospitality can help account for both confrontational and amicable attitudes between the colonizers and the colonized both on the Baltic frontier and among other European frontier societies.

Politics of Emotions and Empathy Walls in Thirteenth-Century Livonia

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter studies the representations and (self-)attributions of emotions to and of different social groups in two pieces of historiography penned in thirteenth-century Livonia, the Chronicle of Henry of Livonia and the Livonian Rhymed Chronicle. The processes of conversion and colonisation of Livonia in the thirteenth century durably shaped the relations between the native population and the arriving missionaries, settlers and crusaders, and formed the religious and ethnic identities of both groups. In order to access the emotional landscapes of thirteenth-century Livonia this study uses the only two locally penned historiographical accounts: The Chronicle of Henry of Livonia and the anonymous Livonian Rhymed Chronicle. The overuse of vro generates so much noise in this emotion’s data that it is difficult to isolate a meaningful signal. However, we can conveniently look at its less frequent but similarly attributed cognate, vreuden.

Angels in Scandinavia: Papal Legates and Networks of Nordic Elites, Twelfth-Thirteenth Centuries
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Nordic Elites in Transformation, c. 1050-1250: Volume II: Social Networks. Kim Esmark, Lars Hermanson, Hans Jacob Orning (eds.). - New York : Routledge. - 9780367901950 - 9781003023005 - 9780367709037 ; , s. 169-191

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter explores the itineraries and actions of several papal legates visiting Scandinavia in the course of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries in order to demonstrate how the members of the Nordic elites transformed their networks and power bases through contact with Rome’s deputies. Through the examples of Nicholas Breakspear, archbishops Absalon and Anders Sunesen, Gregorius de Crescentio, and William of Modena, the chapter traces the transformation and European expansion of the clerical, educational, and political networks of ecclesiastical and secular elites in Scandinavia. It is claimed that both locally appointed papal legates and those sent from Rome functioned as exceptionally potent nodes constricting or enabling interaction between an array of networks. They functioned also as influential mediators converting different types of capital: social, dynastic, educational, and symbolic. By representing and appropriating the symbolic power of the Roman pontiffs, papal legates constituted a hallowed fusion of the priestly ministerium and governmental mysterium. As a result, they offered the Nordic elites a new type of sacralized political technology of delegation of power to employ and emulate.
