Baltic Hospitality from the Middle Ages to the Twentieth Century: Receiving Strangers in Northeastern Europe
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Reflecting debate around hospitality and the Baltic Sea region, this open access book taps into wider discussions about reception, securitization, xenophobia, and attitudes towards migrants and strangers. Focusing on coastal and urban areas, the collection presents an overview of the responses of host communities to guests and strangers in the countries surrounding the Baltic Sea, from the early eleventh century to the twentieth. The chapters investigate why and how diverse categories of strangers, including migrants, war refugees, prisoners of war, merchants, missionaries, and vagrants, were portrayed as threats to local populations or as objects of their charity, shedding light on the current predicament facing many European countries. Emphasizing the Baltic Sea region as a uniquely multi-layered space of intercultural encounter and conflict, this book demonstrates the significance of Northeastern Europe to migration history.

Imagined Communities on the Baltic Rim, from the Eleventh to Fifteenth Centuries
- 2016
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Prior to the high Middle Ages, the Baltic Rim was largely terra incognita-but by the late Middle Ages, it was home to diverse small and large communities. But the Baltic Rim was not simply the place those people lived-it was also an imagined space through which they defined themselves and their identities. This book traces the transformation of the Baltic Rim in this period through a focus on the self-image of a number of communities: urban and regional, cultic, missionary, legal, and political. Contributors look at the ways these communities defined themselves in relationship to other groups, how they constructed their identities and customs, and what held them together or tore them apart.

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.

Domesticating St Adalbert: Episcopal Power and Holy Husbandry on the European Peripheries during the High Middle Ages

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This article explores the ways episcopal milieus on the northeastern peripheries of Europe created and renewed their identities and symbols of episcopal authority by domesticating their immigrant saints during the high Middle Ages. By comparing the examples of holy bishops arriving to Poland and Sweden (St Adalbert, St Sigfrid, St Henry) it studies the episcopal mythopoesis, that is, creation of foundational myths and mythologies as well as their adaptation to specific local needs and changing historical circumstances. The article further probes to what extent these mythopoetic efforts were original or imitative in respect of the Western European episcopal centers and other peripheries. How similarly or differently did the bishops in the “old” and “young” Europe respond to the question: what beginnings do we need today? And what role did the appropriation, commodification, and domestication of holy bishops’ images and body parts play in providing answers to this vital question?
