Relevance and Marginalisation in Scandinavian and European Performing Arts 1770–1860 Questioning Canons

Relevance and Marginalisation in Scandinavian and European Performing Arts 1770–1860: Questioning Canons reveals how various cultural processes have influenced what has been included and what has been marginalised from canons of European music dance and theatre around the turn of the nineteenth century and the following decades. This collection of essays includes discussion of the piano repertory for young ladies in England; canonisation of the French minuet; marginalisation of the popular German dramatist Kotzebue from the dramatic canon; dance repertory and social life in Christiania (Oslo); informal cultural activities in Trondheim; repertory of Norwegian musical clocks; female itinerant performers in the Nordic sphere; preconditions dissemination and popularity of equestrian drama; marginalisation and amateur staging of a Singspiel by the renowned Danish playwright Oehlenschläger also with perspectives on the music and its composers; and the perceived relevance of Henrik Ibsen’s staged theatre repertory and early dramas. By questioning established notions about canon marginalisation and relevance within the performing arts in the period 1770–1860 this book asserts itself as an intriguing text both to the culturally interested public and to scholars and students of musicology dance research and theatre studies. | Relevance and Marginalisation in Scandinavian and European Performing Arts 1770–1860 Questioning Canons

In Search of Vikings Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West England

In Search of Vikings Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West England

The Viking Age lasted a little over three centuries but has left a lasting legacy across Europe. These dynamic warrior-traders from Scandinavia who fought and interacted with peoples as far apart as North America Russia and Central Asia are some of the most recognizable historical figures in the western world. In the modern imagination they represent ruthlessness heroism adventurousness and a unique prestige embellished by the wondrous tales and poetry of the sagas. Yet the sum of evidence for the Viking presence is far less clear than their reputation implies. In Search of Vikings presents a collection of papers from experts in a broad range of disciplines including history archaeology genetics and linguistics to provide a detailed understanding of the Vikings in peace and in war. This book focuses on one particularly exciting area of the Viking world namely the north-west region of England where they are known to have settled in large numbers. North-west England was the crossroads between Ireland Scotland Wales the Isle of Man and the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. It was a battleground for distant powers and dynasties and its Irish Sea coastline created opportunities for trading and settlement. Silver hoards burials and Old Norse place-names attest to the Viking presence and Scandinavian DNA is detectable amongst the modern population. The 12 integrated studies in this book are designed to reinvigorate the search for Vikings in this crucial region and to provide must-reading for anyone interested in Viking history. | In Search of Vikings Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West England

Indigenous Rights in Scandinavia Autonomous Sami Law

Indigenous Rights in Scandinavia Autonomous Sami Law

This book contributes to the international debate on Indigenous Peoples Law containing both in-depth research of Scandinavian historical and legal contexts with respect to the Sami and demonstrating current stances in Sami Law research. In addition to chapters by well-known Scandinavian experts the collection also comments on the legal situation in Norway Sweden and Finland in relation to other jurisdictions and indigenous peoples in particular with experiences and developments in Canada and New Zealand. The book displays the current research frontier among the Scandinavian countries what the present-day issues are and how the nation states have responded so far to claims of Sami rights. The study sheds light on the contrasts between the three countries on the one hand and between Scandinavia Canada and New Zealand on the other showing that although there are obvious differences for instance related to colonisation and present legal solutions there are also shared experiences among the indigenous peoples and the States. Filling a gap in an under-researched area of Sami rights this book will be a valuable resource for academics researchers and policy-makers with an interest in Indigenous Peoples Law and comparative research. | Indigenous Rights in Scandinavia Autonomous Sami Law

German Pronunciation and Phonology

German Pronunciation and Phonology

First published in 1952. This book does not confine itself to German phonetics; it aims rather at showing by what processes and tricks of sound words have been shaped in the course of years; it is therefore a book on phonology as well. It should have a wide appeal to students of German. Moreover since the treatment of laws and sound processes is comparative it will be useful to students of other languages particularly of the Scandinavian group and Dutch. | German Pronunciation and Phonology

Vikings of the Steppe Scandinavians Rus’ and the Turkic World (c. 750–1050)

Vikings of the Steppe Scandinavians Rus’ and the Turkic World (c. 750–1050)

This book explores the relationship between Vikings Rus’ and nomadic (mostly Turkic) steppe dwellers during the course of the Viking Age (c. 750–1050) in a geographical area stretching from Eastern Scandinavia through the Kievan Rus’ Byzantium the Islamic world to the Western Eurasian steppes. The primary focus is the steppe influence on the development of Scandinavian-Rus’ culture. It illustrates the effects of Turkic (nomadic) cultures on the evolving Scandinavian-Rus’ communities in their military technology and tactics as well as in everyday customs ritual traditions and religious perceptions whilst paying attention to the politico-commercial necessities and possible communication channels tying these two cultures normally considered to be distinct together. The arguments are supported by a multi-disciplinary analysis of diverse historical and archaeological materials occasionally supplemented with linguistic evidence. The result is a comprehensive evaluation of the relations of the Scandinavians active in the ‘East’ with Turkic groups and brings (the so far neglected) steppes into Viking studies in general. The book will fill a serious scholarly gap in the field of Viking studies and will be read by both academics and students interested in the archaeological and historical sources concerned with the traditions of the ‘Eastern Vikings’. | Vikings of the Steppe Scandinavians Rus’ and the Turkic World (c. 750–1050)

Vikings Across Boundaries Viking-Age Transformations – Volume II

Vikings Across Boundaries Viking-Age Transformations – Volume II

This volume explores the changes that occurred during the Viking Age as Scandinavian societies fell in line with the larger forces that dominated the Insular world and Continental Europe absorbing the powerful symbiosis of Christianity and monarchy adapting to the idea of royal lineage and supremacy and developing a buzzing urbanism coupled with large-scale trade networks. Presenting research on the grand context of the Viking Age alongside localised studies it contributes to the furthering of collaborations between local and ‘outsider’ research on the Viking Age. Through a diversity of approaches on the Viking homelands and the wider world of the Vikings it offers studies of a range of phenomena including urban and rural settlements; continuity in the use of places as well as new types of places specific to the Viking Age; the social significance of change; the construction and maintenance of social identity both within the ‘homelands’ and across large territories; ethnicity; and ideas of identity and the creation and recreation of identity both at home and abroad. As such it will appeal to historians and archaeologists with interests in Viking-Age studies as well as scholars of Scandinavian studies. | Vikings Across Boundaries Viking-Age Transformations – Volume II

Nordic Design Cultures in Transformation 1960–1980 Revolt and Resilience

Nordic Design Cultures in Transformation 1960–1980 Revolt and Resilience

Covering the 1960s and 1970s this volume explores new ways of investigating comparing and interpreting the different domains of design culture across the Nordic countries. Challenging the traditional narrative this volume argues that the roots of the most prominent features of Nordic design’s contemporary significance are not to be found amongst the objects for the home collectively branded as ‘Scandinavian Design’ to great acclaim in the 1950s but in the discourses institutions and practices formed in the aftermath of that oft-told success story during the turbulent period between 1960 and 1980. This is achieved by employing multidisciplinary approaches to connect the domains of industrial production marketing consumption public institutions design educations trade journals as well as public debates and civic initiatives forming a design culture. This book makes a significant contribution to current international agendas of historiographical critique focusing on transnational relations and the deconstruction of national design histories. This book will be of interest to scholars in design design history and Scandinavian studies.

In Scandinavia society’s relationship to rational forms of knowledge became vital to the self-understanding and political ambitions of the era. Taking advantage of contemporary discussions about the circulation arenas forms applications and actors of knowledge contributors examine various forms of knowledge – economic environmental humanistic religious political and sexual – that provide insight into the making and functioning of postwar Scandinavian societies and offer innovative studies that contribute to the development of the history of knowledge at large.

The Nordic Economic Social and Political Model Challenges in the 21st Century

The Nordic Economic Social and Political Model Challenges in the 21st Century

The Nordic Model is the 20th-century Scandinavian recipe for combining stable democracies individual freedom economic growth and comprehensive systems for social security. But what happens when Sweden and Finland – two countries topping global indexes for competitiveness productivity growth quality of life prosperity and equality – start doubting themselves and their future? Is the Nordic Model at a crossroads? Historically consensus continuity social cohesion and broad social trust have been hailed as key components for the success and for the self-images of Sweden and Finland. In the contemporary however political debates in both countries are increasingly focused on risks threats and worry. Social disintegration political polarization geopolitical anxieties and threat of terrorism are often dominant themes. This book focuses on what appears to be a paradox: countries with low income differences high faith in social institutions and relatively high cultural homogeneity becoming fixated on the fear of polarization disintegration and diminished social trust. Unpacking the presentist discourse of worry and a sense of interregnum at the face of geopolitical tensions digitalization and globalization as well as challenges to democracy the chapters take steps back in time and explore the current conjecture through the eyes of historians and social scientists addressing key aspects of and challenges to both the contemporary and future Nordic Model. In addition the functioning and efficacy of the participatory democracy and current protocols of decision-making are debated. This work is essential reading for students and scholars of the welfare state social reforms and populism as well as Nordic and Scandinavian studies.

The Corruption of Co-Design Political and Social Conflicts in Participatory Design Thinking

The Corruption of Co-Design Political and Social Conflicts in Participatory Design Thinking

Designers are often depicted as social change agents that serve the good in the world. Similarly co-design tends to be described as a democratic mode of creativity that is somehow beyond reproach. But is change a virtue in itself and do participatory practices always produce socially beneficial outcomes? Such questions are becoming more pressing as co-design has emerged as a dominant practice in planning and urban design while also informing corporate management and public administration. In this book Otto von Busch and Karl Palmås suggest that designers tend to overemphasize the place of ideals in design leaving them ill-equipped to deal with a social world of power-wielding and zero-sum games. Seeking to reorient the concerns of the Scandinavian tradition of participatory design they suggest that co-design processes are rife with betrayals decay and corruption and that designerly empathy has morphed into a new form of cunning statecraft. In putting forward Realdesign as an alternative conception of design practice von Busch and Palmås ask: What hard lessons about the social must today’s designers learn from realists like Machiavelli? | The Corruption of Co-Design Political and Social Conflicts in Participatory Design Thinking

Carlisle A Frontier and Border City

Carlisle A Frontier and Border City

Carlisle charts the city's emergence as an urban centre under the Romans and traces its vicissitudes over subsequent centuries until the high Middle Ages. Arguably the most important theme that differentiates its development from many other towns is its position as a 'border' city. The characteristics of the landscape surrounding Carlisle gave it special significance as a front-line element in the defence of the Roman province of Britannia and later at the frontier of two emerging kingdoms England and Scotland. In both cases it occupied the only overland route in the west between these two kingdoms emphasising the importance of understanding its landscape setting. This volume sheds light on the processes of urbanization under the Romans beginning with a fort developing into a major nodal hub and ending as the capital city of the local tribe the Carvetii. The story continues with the collapse of Roman rule and the city’s re-emergence first as a monastic centre then as a proto-town in the period of Anglo-Scandinavian settlement. Finally the Norman Conquest confirmed Carlisle’s importance with the establishment of a castle a diocese and an Augustinian Priory as well as the granting of specific rights to the citizens. Carlisle uses a combination of archaeological discoveries and historical data to explore the history and legacy of this fascinating city. | Carlisle A Frontier and Border City
