Affective interventions and ‘the hegemonic other’ in runestones from Västergötland and Södermanland, Sweden

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the eleventh century AD, the Scandinavian countries were in the final stage of the process of conversion to Christianity. Local and regional processes of negotiations towards a Christian hegemony took various courses in different parts of Scandinavia. There are few substantial indications that social tensions resulted in violence. Rather, archaeological evidence indicates a gradual change. This paper highlights how these processes of negotiations were expressed by counter-hegemonic groups that took advantage of the affective affordances of runestones. By raising specific runestones, these non-Christian groups were part of an agonistic political process, as described by the political philosopher Chantal Mouffe.

Art as entangled material practices : The Case of Late Iron Age Scandinavian Gold Foil Figures in the Making
- 2019
-
In: Artistic Practices and Archaeological Research. - Oxford : Archaeopress. - 9781789691405 - 9781789691412 ; , s. 21-30
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper discusses Late Iron Age gold foil figures from Scandinavia. The figures can be described as tiny humanoid beings stamped on very thin gold foil. They date to c. AD 550–800, and are commonly interpreted in representationalist ways, and as being symbols. By contrast, this paper starts from the assumption that art and imagery are simultaneously material, affective and emergent. As a consequence the gold foil figures are seen as to be continuously in the making, where Karen Barad’s concepts of intra-action and agential realist ontology are especially helpful to illuminate the open-ended and generative character of the figures.

Härjad hög i Hallunda : Arkeologisk undersökning av anläggning 34 från yngre järnålder på gravfält RAÄ 75, Hallunda, Botkyrka sn, Södermanland
- 2000
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- På ett gravfält, RAÄ 75, beläget ca 200 meter sydost om Hallunda gård, Botkyrka sn, Södermanland, upptäcktes att en gravhög, nr 34, ca 9 m i diameter och 1 m hög, i mitten hade en kraftig grop, där såväl ett fåtal brända ben som keramikskärvor var fullt synliga i gropens ytskikt. Därför genomfördes en utgrävning av hög nr 34, då det befarades att graven i sitt utsatta skick snart skulle vara helt förstörd.Gravhögens plundringsgrop synes ha uppkommit dels i omedelbar nutid och dels i äldre historiska tider då den fungerat som potatiskällare. Trots högens omfattande skador eller mångskiftande användningsområden (och därmed mångtydigheter), var en liten del av brandlagret intakt. Här anträffades rikligt med brända ben, flera järnföremål, såsom nitar och stift, keramikskärvor samt kamfragment och textilfragment av silke av hög kvalitet, där textilanalys utförts av Anita Malmius. Utifrån analyser av fynden har gravhögen daterats till vikingatid.

Introduction
- 2020

In: Images in the making. - Manchester : Manchester University Press. - 9781526142849
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This introduction addresses and challenges long held assumptions concerning archaeological art and images, and offers new ways to approach and understand them. It is less concerned with the thorny question of defining art, and instead primarily focus on images. We develop approaches that enable us to follow images in their making, their unfolding, their transformation, their multiplicity. We also discuss how images can be understood, given that they appear to be in constant motion.

Materials of Affect : Miniatures in the Scandinavian Late Iron Age (AD 550-1050)
- 2013
-
In: Archaeology after interpretation. - Walnut Creek, California : Left Coast Press Inc.. - 9781611323412 ; , s. 325-344
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper discusses Scandinavian gold foil figures – small human-like figures hammered or cut out of thin foil – from the early part of the Scandinavian Late Iron Age (AD 550--1050) from a relational perspective. Earlier interpretations largely approach them as symbols and representations, which downplays a practice or performative role, and results in static or embalmed objects. In this paper the affective dimensions of the figures are discussed as well as some of the myriad rhizomatic relations that were generated through processes of making, manipulation and visual encounter. It is argued that during the Late Iron Age in Scandinavia certain human beings and gold foil figures were ontological equivalents. It is further argued that ontological equivalence also included other spheres; these were considered equivalent because the same desirable properties of wealth and regeneration were seemingly produced by different technical processes with different materials. Hence the processes of formation were primary, not states of matter. Seen this way gold foil figures go far beyond our contemporary understanding of representations.

Images in the Making : Art, Process, Archaeology
- 2020
-
Editorial collection (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This book presents a study of material images and asks how an appreciation of the making and unfolding of images and art alters archaeological accounts of prehistoric and historic societies. With contributions focusing on case studies ranging from prehistoric Britain, Scandinavia, Iberia, the Americas, and Dynastic Egypt, and including contemporary reflections on material images, it makes a novel contribution to ongoing debates relating to archaeological art and images. The book offers a new materialist analysis of archaeological imagery, with an emphasis on considering the material character of images and their making and unfolding. The book reassesses the predominantly representational paradigm of archaeological image analysis and argues for the importance of considering the ontology of images. It considers images as processes or events and introduces the verb ‘imaging’ to underline the point that images are conditions of possibility that draw together differing aspects of the world. The book is divided into three sections ‘Emergent Images’ which focuses on practices of making; ‘Images as Process’ which examines the making and role of images in prehistoric societies; and, ‘Unfolding Images’ which focuses on how images change as they are made and circulated. The book features contributions from archaeologists, Egyptologists, anthropologists and artists. The contributors to the book highlight the multiple role of images in prehistoric and historic societies, demonstrating that archaeologists need to recognize the dynamic and changeable character of images.
