  • Conservation Professionals and Religious Heritage
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: In T. Weir & L. Wijnia (Ed.). The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Heritage in Contemporary Europe. - London : Bloomsbury Academic. ; , s. 271-279
  • Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Theoretically, in a secular political system, legislation and governance are to be free from religious content, neutral to different religious affiliations, and should uphold the citizens’ right to religious freedom. Sweden took a critical step in this direction when formally separating the state from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the year 2000. However, the remaining institutional and legal bonds indicate an ongoing relationship that few appear willing to break. Today, as society is confronted with a great variety of religious belongings, the profound and very practical intertwinement of what is perceived as “culture” and “religion” has become clear. The field of heritage conservation is no exception. Conservation professionals in public service are, in their everyday practice, continuously managing this intertwinement—while at the same time, they are expected to follow legislative frames based on a clear-cut boundary between culture and religion. This chapter aims to take the Swedish situation as a point of departure to explore some of the critical challenges that conservation professionals face when handling church buildings as the cultural heritage of a secular state. It starts with a brief depiction of the historically close relationship between religious sites and professional heritage conservation in Sweden. It explores how contemporary post-colonial critique and bottom-up, user-oriented ideology have merged in the so-called living heritage approach now used in heritage practice. Finally, it delves into the legislative situation that shapes how conservation professionals view ongoing religious worship as a prerequisite for but also as a potential threat to safeguarding historic church buildings.

  • Maintaining the traditional churches of Chiloé
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Interaction between science, technology and architecture in timber construction. - Paris : Elsevier SAS. - 2842996054 ; , s. 405-421
  • Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The 16 churches of Chiloé in southern Chile, recently inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, represent the only example in Latin America of a rare form of ecclesiastical wooden architecture. They were built on the initiative of the Jesuit Peripatetic Mission in the 17th and 18th centuries and bear testimony to a successful fusion of indigenous and European culture and technical expertise. Most of these churches are in immediate need of restoration and maintenance. The present paper summarises experience and impressions acquired by the authors during a trip made to Chile in June 2002. The purpose of the trip was to establish contacts with people and organisations that are linked to the care and maintenance of the traditional wooden churches of Chiloé. In this context it has been of mutual interest to find out in what possible ways Scandinavian resources and know-how could be utilised and implemented in the process of restoring and maintaining these churches. The recently developed Maintenance Management System (MMS), capable of structuring condition surveys and assessments, as well as being an aid to plan and follow up conservation and maintenance work, might prove a suitable and elaborate alternative to traditional systems of building management and documentation. In addition, a brief description is presented of various tasks identified that could tentatively be the basis for mutual exchange of know-how, culture and traditions as well as of researchers, students and other resources, between the partners in Chile and in Sweden and Norway. These tasks address issues linked to aspects of both the physical maintenance of these churches and of their socio-cultural significance today and in the future.

  • Historically Based Room Acoustic Analysis and Auralization ofa Church in the 1470s
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Applied Sciences. - : MDPI. - 1454-5101 .- 2076-3417. ; 11:4
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Worship space acoustics have been established as an important part of a nation’s cultural heritage and area of acoustic research, but more research is needed regarding the region of northern Europe. This paper describes the historical acoustics of an important abbey church in Sweden in the 1470s. A digital historical reconstruction is developed. Liturgical material specific to this location is recorded and auralized within the digital reconstruction, and a room acoustic analysis is performed. The analysis is guided by liturgical practices in the church and the monastic order connected to it. It is found that the historical sound field in the church is characterized by the existence of two distinct acoustical subspaces within it, each corresponding to a location dedicated to the daily services of the monastical congregations. The subspaces show significantly better acoustic conditions for liturgical activities compared to the nave, which is very reverberant under the conditions of daily services. Acoustic transmission from the two subspaces is limited, indicating that the monastic congregations were visually and acoustically separated from the visitors in the nave and each other.

  • Medeltidskyrkan i Uppland : restaurering och rumslig förnyelse under 1900-talet
  • 2010
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The aim of this work is to illuminate the history of restoration in 20th century Sweden by studying restorations of medieval Uppland churches, in the hope of highlighting the debate and conflicts surrounding the ideologies forming the framework of church restorations and identifying the crucial considerations. It is an attempt to depicting church restorations with the focus of attention on the function of the church interior, but also on ways of achieving a credible design appropriate to the present. Theological and liturgical issues and their connection with usability constitute an important background. The study takes as its starting point the architect’s mission as the person in charge of the restoration project. The heritage conservation aspects and issues of principle concerning preservation are present as a basic precondition of every restoration assignment.The study demonstrates the complexity of the design of the various church interiors. The 20th century restorations have been concerned with modernisation, with questions of materials and with the character of the church interiors, but they have also hinged on individual architects and their differing attitudes towards preservation and new design, and on the relation between restoration and spatial renewal. This study encompasses the whole of the 20th century, but with special emphasis on the period between about 1920 and 1980. First of all a general count was taken of all major restorations in the province of Uppland. Their time-related character prompted a division of the 20th century into four periods, and one church from each period was chosen for closer study. The four churches chosen were Tensta, Skånela, Knivsta and Orkesta. More examples were then used to illustrate the complexity of the restorations. Studies of the church buildings, in the in-depth studies and in supplementary examples from the province as a whole, were then viewed in relation to overarching issues concerning restoration tradition, values and viewpoints held by the heritage conservation authorities, parochial needs for changes to the church interiors, but also discussions concerning the functional and artistic design of new churches and how those discussions were reflected in the historic churches.

  • Tracking Position and Orientation Through Millimeter Wave Lens MIMO in 5G Systems
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: IEEE Signal Processing Letters. - 1070-9908 .- 1558-2361. ; 26:8, s. 1222-1226
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Millimeter wave signals and large antenna arrays are considered enabling technologies for future 5G networks. Despite their benefits for achieving high data rate communications, their potential advantages for tracking of the location and rotation angle of the user terminals are not well investigated. A joint heuristic beam selection and user position and orientation tracking approach is proposed. First, the user location is tracked in the uplink by joint beam selection together with time-of-arrival (TOA) and angle-of-arrival (AOA) tracking at the base station (BS). Then, the user rotation angle is obtained using the location information by joint beam selection and tracking at the mobile station (MS). The beam selection, TOA and AOA tracking, at the BS and MS are performed during the data transmission phase. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method performs close to the estimated position and rotation angle in the training phase with reduced complexity and reduced number of required pilots for the estimation.

  • Review: Methods for Studying Video Games and Religion
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: CyberOrient. - 1804-3194. ; 14:2, s. 107-109
  • Recension (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The edited volume Methods for Studying Video Games and Religion (2017) by Vít Šisler, Kerstin Radde-Antweiler, and Xenia Zeiler takes the study of religion and video games seriously and recognizes the widespread usage of religious themes in the world of games. The book can be read as an exposé of the state of research in the field of Game Stud-ies with the specific focus on methods for researching how religion is represented in games and how religious traditions change and serves as inspiration for religious practices and beliefs.

  • On Historical Climate in Swedish Stone Churches
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Energy Efficiency in Historic Buildings. - Visby : Gotland University Press. - 9789186343118 ; , s. 245-259
  • Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Archival sources and historical methods have so far been underutilized in the research on past indoor climates in historic buildings. Before we can build a base of empirical knowledge, we need to discuss and develop the methodology. How would one go about researching the climate history of a building over the course of 50, 100 or 200 years? The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of archival sources when attempting to reconstruct the climate history of an historic building. Knowledge of the long term indoor climate of a church may support strategic decisions for a more sustainable use of resources. In order to show the feasibility of this, the paper will examine the maintenance and restoration of two medieval stone churches: Levide church on Gotland and Strängnäs cathedral.Levide is a small rural parish in which the church has never had central heating or mechanical ventilation. Using documents spanning a time period of more than 200 years it becomes evident that the church has always been a very humid environment with mould and rot appearing time and again. Already in the beginning of the 19th century, the diocese urged the parish to obtain a heated vestry in order to increase the thermal comfort of the priest and the school children, and to preserve the liturgical objects. This and other statements show that the diocese, but not necessarily the parishes themselves, showed an interest in indoor climate in the 19th century. A stove and chimney were installed in the beginning of the 20th century. Findings show long term problems with keeping parish records, the mass robe and other liturgical objects in this humid climate. Water leakages, the buffering capacity of the thick walls and traditions in managing the church, such as airing in spring and summer, have been strainful to the building itself. Although the level of thermal comfort has improved, it is doubtful whether intermittent electrical heating, introduced in the 1950s, has had positive impact on the conservation of the building.Strängnäs is a cathedral and a burial church for some of the members of the royal Vasa family. The church is thus both a historically important monument and a sanctuary. In contrast with the small parish church the cathedral was in almost daily use, and also visited by tourists. When Guerneys ovens were introduced in Sweden by Bolinders in the 1870th, as many as six where installed to heat the church. In the same period a larger restoration of the church was planned. The planned restoration was however delayed. When the restoration were about to be executed some 25 years later, the new techniques for heating had been established and the old ovens were deemed obsolete for several reasons. An interesting debate on what techniques, steam, hot air or a water based system took place. The discussions concerned the convenience of the installations, maintenance and economy of the different systems, the comfort of the churchgoers, the esthetical effects and archaeological matters.

  • Rethinking Advaita Within the Colonial Predicament : the "Confrontative' Philosophy of K. C. Bhattacharyya (1875-1949)
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: Sophia. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0038-1527 .- 1873-930X. ; 57:3, s. 405-424
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • I shall examine in this paper the distinctive way in which the prominent Indian philosopher Krishnachandra Bhattacharyya (1875-1949) engaged with Advaita Vednta during the terminal phase of the colonial period. I propose to do this by looking, first, at ways in which Krishnachandra understood the role of his own philosophizing within the colonial predicament. I will call this his agenda in confrontative' philosophy. I shall proceed, then, by sketching out the unique manner in which this agenda was successfully enacted through his engagement with the Advaitic notion of self-knowledge. Finally, I will suggest that putting K. C. Bhattacharyya's thought into the historical perspective of cross-cultural philosophy will reveal a number of shortcomings that need to be revised in a postcolonial setup.
