Defining Dukeship : The Problem of Royal Spares and Dynasty Formation in Sweden, 1556-1622
- 2023
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This book examines how dukeship – the position of being a duke – was defined and negotiated in Sweden between the late 1550s and the early 1620s. The aim is to shed light on how the structural problem of royal spares, with dukes as pillars and perils of hereditary monarchy, influenced politics and the integration process of a ruling house. Through an institutional biography approach and a critical perspective on dynasty, the book considers how dukes, kings, and their associates interacted with dukeship by making claims to define its meaning, norms, and im-plications. These claims are seen as expressions of self-identification, categorisation, and legitimation, which are linked to processes of dynastic securing, centralisation, decentralisation, participation, and distanc-ing. In the study, a wide range of sources are examined: testaments, genealogies, ceremonial instructions and accounts, oaths, letters, Diet minutes and statutes, marriage contracts, speeches, sermons, court articles, and the material culture of burial sites. The book shows the diverse ways in which dukeship was continuously negotiated for as long as the ducal positions existed. The malleability and pervasiveness of structures and norms that characterised dukeship and its practices of negotiation are uncovered. The study also demonstrates how notions of lineages and houses – or dynasty – functioned as a symbolic resource in the political bargaining of rulership. The negotiation of dukeship was thus an integral part of the early modern bargaining state and shaped early modern integration processes of the state as well as the royal house. The critical dynastic perspective on dukeship challenges views of the early modern period and its political practices derived from purely statist outlooks. The study compels historians to critically rethink concepts, chronologies, and causes of change that are commonly invoked to make sense of early modern politics and integration processes.

Intellectual Collaboration with the Third Reich : Treason or Reason?
- 2019
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The book investigates the rather neglected "intellectual" collaboration between National Socialist Germany and other countries, including views on knowledge and politics among "pro-German" intellectuals, using a comparative approach. These moves were shaped by the Nazi system, which viewed scientific and cultural exchange as part and parcel of their cultural propaganda and policy. Positive views of the Hitler regime among intellectuals of all sorts were indicative of a broader discontent with democracy that, among other things, represented an alternative approach to modernization which was not limited to the German heartlands.This book draws together international experts in an analysis of right-wing Europe under Hitler; a study which has gained new resonance amidst the wave of European nationalism in the twenty-first century.

From Big Bang to Big Data : A History of the Media
- 2023
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- More than just newspapers, television, and social networks, media are the means by which any information is communicated, from cosmic radiation traces to medieval church bells to modern identity documents. Cultures are held together as much by bookkeeping and records as they are by stories and myths. From Big Bang to Big Data is a long history of the media – how it has been established, used, and transformed from the beginning of recorded time until the present. It is not primarily a story of revolutions and innovations, but of continuities and overlaps that reveal surprising patterns across history. Many media were invented as ways to store and share information, and many have served as powerful tools for administration and control. The concerns raised about media today, whether about privacy, piracy, or anxieties over declining cultural standards, preoccupied earlier generations too. In a playful style, accompanied by more than one hundred illustrations, the authors show us how every society has been a media society in its own way. From antique graffiti to last year’s viral YouTube clip, the past is only approachable through media. From Big Bang to Big Data provides a new way of thinking about media in history – and about human societies past and present.
