Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med föreliggande arbete har varit att undersöka statusen på nygjort glasmåleri från 1851-1955. Utgångspunkten har varit att detta glasmåleri oftast inte förekommer i konstens allmänna historia, trots att välkända konstnärer faktiskt gjort glasmåleri. Ett viktigt metodiskt grepp har varit att undersöka statusfrågan utifrån uppfattningar om glasmåleriets mediespeci
Africa has suffered two traumatizing events in history that have helped shape the present day individual, be it on the continent or in the diaspora. First there was the transatlantic slave trade that spanned from the 15th century to the late 19th century and saw the inhuman and forceful transportation of Africans to plantations and homes in the Americas. Then came colonialism immediately after sla

Historians of the universities have not always belonged to the avantgarde of historical research. On the contrary, many studies of the universities have tended to be rather traditional and narrow-minded. In recent years, however, the surge in the history of knowledge has opened up novel perspectives and given new impulses to how to write the history of the universities. In this presentation, Johan
This article presents the key findings of a Finnish memory-work project conducted in 2012 on consumer experiences and associations related to pornography. The memory-work material points to a high degree of reflexivity in definitions of pornographic preference as well as to drastic shifts in the ubiquity of pornography from the pre-1990s ‘age of scarcity’ to the current ‘age of plenty.’ At the sam
This chapter discusses the question of mind in space. It aims to lay the ground for an emerging research field, astrocognition, studying the origin, evolution, and distribution of intelligence in the universe. The first section concerns terrestrial intelligence, the cognitive phenomena involved in human search for extraterrestrial life and intelligence. Intelligence could be explained as a cogniti

The purpose of this volume is to show how different national contexts affected the proliferation of anti-Catholic messages over the course of four centuries of European history, from 1600 to 2000. Factors such as the legal status of various faiths and their opportunities for proselytising, the relation between state and church, transnational cultural relations, and the development of different med

In the eighteenth century, the portrait genre, previously restricted to royalty and nobility, became available to users from a broader social spectrum. All over Europe, physicians, scholars, writers, merchants, and proprietors had their portraits painted to mark their standing in society. However, not these grand paintings but their printed versions made the sitters known to the broader public. Bu
