Rome and the guidebook tradition : from the Middle Ages to the 20th century
- 2019
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Almost everyone has used a guidebook, when travelling or in the armchair at home. But how and when was the guidebook born? In this book, seven scholars from various disciplines argue that the guidebook emerged in Rome in the late Middle Ages, to form a surprisingly consistent model for guidebooks up to our time. The descriptions of must-see monuments, recommended routes, practical information and value-laden instructions have guided travellers to Rome through more than 1000 years.

Bouncing off Ove : Old men's readings of the novel A Man Called Ove as a cultural representation of ageing masculinity
- 2022

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In recent years, there has been a rise in portrayals of greying protagonists in popular fiction, often featuring older people in humorous and heart-warming stories. An emerging genre within this literature is the “geezer and grump lit”, a genre where older people are active protagonists, and while often portrayed as grumpy “’usually turn out to have a heart of gold’” (Swinnen, 2019). A notable example of a book in this genre is the internationally bestselling novel A Man Called Ove (2012) by the Swedish author Fredrik Backman. Telling the story of the 59-year-old Ove who sets out to take his own life, the novel can be understood not only as a cultural representation of ageing, but more specifically a cultural representation of ageing masculinity. But how is this popular novel read and responded to by old men themselves? This article builds on a focus group study with Swedish men aged 65–92 who read and discussed A Man Called Ove. The aim of this article is thus to explore how men read the novel and how these readings function as ways of constructing, negotiating and challenging ageing masculinity and the old man as a gendered and aged position. Findings of the study show how discussion of the novel generated a variety of “imaginary positions” through which the participants made sense of what it means to be an old man in contemporary Sweden, including positions such as the active aspiring ageing man, the passive lonely old man, the embodied and vulnerable old man, and the dutiful old man. Future research should explore how other literary genres may provide ways of understanding how old men's gendered and aged subjectivities are constructed.

Politics of Emotions and Empathy Walls in Thirteenth-Century Livonia
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Anu Mänd, Marek Tamm (eds.), Making Livonia: Actors and Networks in the Medieval and Early Modern Baltic Sea Region. - London : Routledge. - 9780367481285 ; , s. 113-142, s. 113-142
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter studies the representations and (self-)attributions of emotions to and of different social groups in two pieces of historiography penned in thirteenth-century Livonia, the Chronicle of Henry of Livonia and the Livonian Rhymed Chronicle. The processes of conversion and colonisation of Livonia in the thirteenth century durably shaped the relations between the native population and the arriving missionaries, settlers and crusaders, and formed the religious and ethnic identities of both groups. In order to access the emotional landscapes of thirteenth-century Livonia this study uses the only two locally penned historiographical accounts: The Chronicle of Henry of Livonia and the anonymous Livonian Rhymed Chronicle. The overuse of vro generates so much noise in this emotion’s data that it is difficult to isolate a meaningful signal. However, we can conveniently look at its less frequent but similarly attributed cognate, vreuden.
