Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Under the heading Urban Archaeology in Central Sweden: present position, problems, and possibilities, this report examines the material collected in the course of the project work in the Lake Mälaren valley. We have made a survey to show the present position of archaeology. The possibilities of the existing material have been discussed. It has been used to demonstrate to what extent it can be instrumental in solving certain defined problems. There are gaps in the material, sometimes of a seriously hampering kind, but in many instances some progress should be possible. Some places where a holistic approach can be applied stand out as particularly important, but in most of the places discussed it is at all events possible to obtain a material which can answer at least certain aspects of important questions.To a large extent the work has been based on the assumption that it is essential to start from data elucidating chronology, topography, and structure. The character of the material is such that the topographical conditions have come to occupy a particularly prominent position. As a result it is important to emphasize that in our opinion, as has already been pointed out in the programme of the project, this should not be regarded as a goal in itself. Knowledge of the topographical conditions must also serve as a means to progress further. It becomes particularly important in periods which lack other kinds of more easily accessible material. We have maintained this opinion particularly on one point, namely the transformation which we think can be observed in many of the investigated towns in the early 13th century (Ch. 7). By bringing the finds into the discussion and making a thorough analysis, this mode of work can be developed. Particularly as regards structural problems it must be possible to cover more ground. In an analysis of this kind the elements of change become essential. If the Middle Ages are considered as a period of great changes as regards administrative, social, and economic conditions, an analysis of the archaeological material 69 concerned with what is immediately visible would contribute towards a more detailed knowledge about these general processes. Consequently we shall be forced to fit the town into a regional structure in quite a different way.Such an approach makes great demands on the treatment of the material. It compels us to decide how far the archaeological material can be used. Which are the possibilities of the urban archaeological material when it comes to elucidating conditions outside the town as well? Recent discussions have pointed to the paleobotanical material as particularly important in this context. But it should be possible to make use of studies concerning for instance changes of the town structure. The churches and their relation to the surrounding countryside will be of great importance. The collected objects can throw light on the supply of raw materials, contacts, manufacturing organization etc. It is, however, hard to survey all the possibilities at present. It is essential that a comprehensive discussion is kept going to give the necessary framework for keeping the work together and rendering syntheses possible.Undoubtedly the Lake Mälaren valley is very interesting in this respect. The physical geography of the region is comparatively uniform. It contains examples of the Viking Age as well as Early, High, and Late Medieval urbanization. During the whole period a high degree of economic expansion coupled with a developed social differentiation seems to have taken place. The central administration was increased on a large scale in the High Middle Ages. What does this expansive transformation signify? Which forms did it take? Which are the inherent consequences for the continued development? These are general historical questions. An important task for archaeology is to create the possibilities to deal with them.

Ars inventrix : En studie av Friedrich von Hardenbergs (Novalis') paraestetiska projekt
- 2003
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation is divided into three sections, and treats three essential ideas in the philosophical notes of Friedrich von Hardenberg (also known as Novalis): 1) the critique of the foundationalist tendency in the systematic philosophy of idealism and the development of a “logological” perspective on philosophy, language and art; 2) the formation of a romantic philosophy based on a theory of experimentation and invention; and 3) the creation of a universal encyclopaedia in order to explicate the inner unity of all sciences and arts. Taken together, these three ideas constitute a theory of creativity and inventiveness in Man that no longer serves as a theory of art or poetry proper. It broadens the concepts of philosophy, imagination and creativity and outlines a paraesthetic theory.The first part focuses on the concept of a philosophical system and Hardenberg’s disapproval of the idea that an unconditional first principle of philosophy will ground the system of the absolute held by his former teacher K.L. Reinhold and J.G. Fichte. His view that the nature of being is non-systematic led him to the conviction that no philosophy can capture the totality. Life, language and knowledge can be reflected upon only in terms of non-foundational principles and this reflection should be a “logological” approach to philosophy that ultimately forms a “transcendental poetry.”The second part investigates the product of the “logological” critique of Fichte, i.e. the romantic philosophy. This study stresses the influence of Spinoza and Plotinos in Hardenberg’s theory of the I and its creative potential. What Hardenberg identifies as “romantic” is a) the relation between the known and the unknown (as well as the relation between inside and outside, outwards and inwards) and b) an epistemological and cognitive operation preformed by the I in “series of variation.” The theory of the romantic operation leads to his theory of experimentation and invention. In Hardenberg’s view, experimentation is not only the task of scientific practice, it is the very experience and conception of reality that is experimental. This concept of experiment is considered in relation to his ideas about mathematics and combinatorics.The third and last part investigates how and why Hardenberg’s training at the mining academy in Freiberg and his acquaintance with the mineralogist A.G. Werner is important for understanding his attempt to construct a general encyclopaedia, Das Allgemeine Brouillon (The Universal Draft). Without any centre or fixed field of study, Hardenberg’s encyclopaedia is his answer to the systematic philosophers of his time, that it is possible to put “non-systematisation in a system.” The last part focuses on Hardenberg’s “revision” of his teacher Werner’s system of classification and its implications for the composition of the encyclopaedia as well as his interpretation of nature as a language and language as nature.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of the project: This report on the situation of urban archaeology in Falkenberg is written as part of the project The Medieval Town: Implications of Early Uvbanisation for Modem Planning under the auspices of Riksantikvarieämbetet and Statens historiska museer. The aim of the project is to make a detailed survey and docu mentation of the situation of urban archaeology and its implications for physical planning and make a scholarly evaluation of the uncovered material. The project deals mainly with those places which obtained town rights in the formal legal sense during the Middle Ages. The arrangement of the report: Chapters 1 and 2 give an account of a number of data which in various ways are important for the early development of the town. The information is collected from available literature (mainly as regards documentary material) as well as from primary material in the archives (archaeological data, records from borings). In the first-mentioned case no attempt has been made to correct possible faults through independent research. As regards the archaeological material, the aim has been to include all archaeological observations, even if for different reasons this has not always been possible. One important aim during work on the report has been to appraise and evaluate the archaeological material and to what extent it throws light on essential problems concerning urban history. The basic idea is that archaeological material can provide information about chronology, function, social structure and economic bases. The material has been arranged on the assumption that the form of settlement which took place and is reflected in the archaeological material is the result of a functional adaption to certain decisive prerequisites such as topography, communications, and economical-geographical conditions.The data have been chosen and structured on this basis. The selection gives both a general view of the available material concerning the development of the medieval town and a basis for further work on this material. This in turn will provide a foundation for the antiquarian evaluation in relation to future work.The English summary gives a broad outline of the contents, mainly based on the maps of the report. […]
