De medeltida målningarna i Arbrå kyrka : en typologisk tolkning

The aim of this essay is to investigate the murals in the church of Arbrå, what they portrait and how they can be linked to medieval typology as described in Biblia Pauperum (BP), the Poor Man?s Bible. The aim is also to find out what the purpose was to paint medieval churches and what the function of the paintings was. Arbrå Church was painted around 1520-1530, and almost all of the motifs from the Old Testament can be directly traced back to BP as can one motif from the New Testament. Together these paintings represent most of the important events which make out the foundation of the Christian Cult.

REX DVD : Om framställningar av kung David spelande på stränginstrument i bilder från tidigmedeltida manuskript

The purpose of this work was to investigate the early medieval view of the Bilical king David through the analysis of ten illuminations found in early medieval manuscripts in which he is depicted playing string instruments. First, a description of medieval manuscripts and king David and string instruments was presented, second, an analysis and a discussion of images as source material and an interpretation of the mythic and symbolic significance that is based on ideas presented by Paul Ricoeurs and Roland Barthes of the ten illuminations followed. The results showed that king David often was portrayed as a musical king, a dancer and a prophet that incarnated wisdom and justice; that king David served as a role-model for the Western regents, and that he was portrayed in an idealised and estethically appealing manner..

På besök i medeltiden : att levandegöra historien på ett museum

Museums are a part of the cultural sector that over the last couple of years had to compete with the steadily growing consumption of spectacles. New techniques to attract and amaze the visitors have evolved. Living History Museums has developed a method to simulate past times by building up an environment with reconstructions. History is a non-definite science, there will never be an exact answer to how it really was, for example during the Middle Ages.This essay deals with the difference between reconstructions and authentic artefacts and how they build up an illusion of the past. In what sense does it matter if the artefacts are genuine or not? How do these museums deal with anachronistic phenomena from today's modern world in the historic environment? Additionally I discuss whether or not these reconstructions - of environment, buildings and personal characters - have any influence on the historic narrative given by the museum.

Bilden av den kvinnliga stiftaren : en jämförande studie mellan 1100- och 1400-talets kvinnliga stiftarbilder på skånska kalkmålningar

In this study I compare the donor portraits on wallpaintings in Scanian churches from the 12th and the 15th century and relate them to medieval society.I find that women were equally capable of owning and donating land during the entire period. The image of the ideal woman changed during the 14th century from a married woman to the unreachable mistress of the chivalrous culture and the holy virgin. Women had a natural place beside their husbands in 12th century donor portraits, while single male donors are more frequent in the 15th century. While 12th century donors were supposed to show their position in society by offering plentiful donations directly to God, donors in the 14th century instead strived to present themselves as humble and pious. The individualisation of late medieval society meant that people had to depend on themselves to achieve salvation..

Hydropolis

Västertorp, ännu en ansiktslös Stockholmsförort, i stort behov av nya sim- och idrottshallar, samt i kanske ännu större behov av lite WOW-faktor. Hur åstadkommer man detta utan att frångå ett tämligen strikt program? Min utgångspunkt var att först fokusera på funktionalitet och därefter, när jag ritat ett fungerande bad, i detta hitta arkitektoniska kvalitéer jag kunde utveckla. Erkännas måste dock att detta var något slags nödlösning efter att jag under projektets första hälft gått vilse i Medeltiden och ritat på något så absurt som en badborg. Förutom funktioner så präglade symmetri och i viss grad realism projektet och slutresultatet påminner om något Santiago Calatrava och Albert Speer skulle kunnat samarbeta fram tillsammans med en funktionalist.

Dagligt liv i Dalarnas medeltid - Ett försök att se dagligt liv och social struktur i ett gränsland

This paper deals whit the problems concerning social organisation in the county of Dalarna in middle Sweden during the Middle Ages 1050- 1528. This paper also deals whit the every day ife in Dalarna during the same period. In the paper archaeology, ethnology, history and osteology is used in order to create a so accurate as possibly picture of every day life at the farm, the villa and the keep. Each environment is compared to each other in order to try to see the social structure of the county. The geographic frame for the paper is the part of Sweden above the border zone of Limes Norrlandicus, or lower Norrland.The results presented in the paper shows that Dalarna most probably had a flat social organisation in the meaning that the every day life and its artefacts was much the same in all the environments.

Om jag hade levt på medeltiden? : Historiemedvetandets utveckling genom högläsning av skönlitteratur, boksamtal och att skriva berättelser.

Abstract:According to the curriculum of the Swedish school the pupils should develop their historical consciousness. The aim of this study was to find out which pupils develop this consciousness by listing to an historical novel, talking about that book and writing stories. The study went on for four weeks and the subject of the teaching was the Middle Ages. 28 pupils took part and a variety of methods were used: 1: questionnaire about the lives of the pupils, 2: Making observations of their attitude to the teaching and 3: story writing. The results show that the social background does not influence the development of an historical consciousness.

Äganderätt till koncessionsmineraler

Sveriges gruvnäring har en lång historia som sträcker sig ända till Medeltiden. Lika länge har det funnits behov av en reglering för utnyttjandet av dessa naturtillgångar. Regleringens syfte har varit mångfacetterat. Det har bl.a. gällt att inpassa utnyttjandet i en marknadsekonomi samt stimulera upptäckt och utnyttjande av mineraler.

Från grekisk till islamisk filosofi : exemplet Avicenna

I min uppsats har jag sökt visa hur den grekiska filosofin har påverkat den islamiska genom att koncentrera mig på Avicenna/Ibn Sina (cirka 980-1037), en av de främsta bland islams filosofer. Jag har lagt särskild vikt vid relationen mellan Avicennas och Aristoteles tänkande, men spårat inflytandet via översättningsverksamheten med centrum i Vishetens hus (Bayt al-Hikma) i Baghdad och tidigare tänkare som al-Kindi och al-Farabi. Jag har också beaktat självständiga inslag i Avicennas filosofi och antytt dess senare inflytande, inte bara på hans anhängare utan också på kritiker som al-Ghazali och, via Suhrawardi och andra, på den fortfarande livskraftiga illuministiska traditionen. Avicennas skrifter har också starkt påverkat den västerländska filosofin; de var under en del av Medeltiden en huvudkälla till kunskap om Aristoteles tänkande..

Jakten på det svunna Löddeköpinge. En studie av hälsa, karakteriserad av artros, kroppslängd samt trauma, i det medeltida Löddeköpinge

The purpose of this study is to assess the state of health of the individuals living in Löddeköpinge during the middle ages, whose remains were excavated by Chintio, H., 1975-80. The location is thought to have been a trading community that ceased to flourish towards the end of the Viking age. The main focus of the essay is to examine the occurrence of osteoarthritis (sv. artros), trauma, and analysis of stature, in order to understand population health during this time period. Osteoarthritis has never been researched in Löddeköpinge and the analysis showed that, of the 60 skeletons examined, 68,3% demonstrated some change in the skeletal joints, which is much higher than in the comparative material obtained from Lund and Sigtuna.

Det skånska svärdet från 800 till 1300 e.Kr. : Fallstudie av 8 svärd

This essay discusses the development of swords in the southern region of Sweden, Skåne. It attempts to locate the areas in Europe where the swords were first made and, in doing so, trace the communication routes by which people traveled. The essay deals with aperiod of a few hundred years, from the late eighth century to sometime around 1300. In that sense, it is therefore also a time study tracing the cultural changes and developments in Skåne during the era of Christianization. Does the development of swords follow the overall changes in society, from an isolated pagan district to a Catholic European community, or not? In answering this question, eight swords were selected and put under closer observation.

Den medeltida stadshamnen : Om strandområdets topografi och funktion i tre Öresundsstäder

This essay focuses on the function and development of city harbors during the middle ages in the Scanian part of Öresund. The purpose of the survey is to take a closer look at topography, development and activities on the shores in three coastal cities along the west coast of Scania. The cities that has been part of the survey are: Skanör ? Falsterbo, Malmoe and Landskrona, three cities that follows each other chronologically and that show both similarities and differences in appearance, function and urbanization.The cities of Skanör ? Falsterbo and Malmoe were important market places for the medieval Scania market with the herring fishery in focus. The cities? birth has to be looked upon in relation to these activities.

Renens domesticering

Domesticeringsprocessen innebär bland annat en beteendemässig förändring hos djur genom avel och skiljer sig från tämjning då tamhet innebär att en individ under sin livstid lär sig beteenden som gör den hanterbar av människan. Syftet med det här arbetet är att ta reda på när, varför och hur renen blev domesticerad och ifall något annat djur hade kunnat ersätta renen som husdjur. Renen (Rangifer tarandus), som lever i världens nordligaste delar, har varit en viktig födokälla för människan sedan stenåldern. Det finns bevis på att renen används som transport- och mjölkdjur sedan åtminstone 5000 år tillbaka, vilket kan vara början till dess domesticering. Vissa författare menar dock att det var först senare, på Medeltiden när samerna började övergå till storskalig betesdrift (pastoralism), som domesticeringsprocessen började. Att man övergick till ett pastoralt system berodde främst på ekonomiska förändringar i Skandinavien och Ryssland.

Ny Falkenberg ? En skenföreteelse? : Om Falkenbergs svaga urbaniseringsprocess och dess roll som stad i Hallands medeltid

This essay deals with the weak and unstable urbanization process of the town Falkenberg. The aim has been to explore how a new town could be established just a kilometre away from the town (Old) Falkenberg and what kind of meaning the town had in relationship to the towns Halmstad and Varberg. This was made through the study of the political situation in Denmark and Sweden during the 15th century and through a comparison of the town churches. The archaeological material of Falkenberg is very small and thus I had to trust the available historical literature about the town.Not much of the oldest history of the town is known, but a conflict between the landed aristocratic family Thott and the king Kristian I in Denmark has been interpreted as a reason to the establishing of the town. In conclusion the survey showed that the king probably established New Falkenberg in purpose to limit the trading possibilities of Thott and to, at the same time, increase his own power in the district.

"Vatten gifver gräs" : Ängsvattning i Sverige och i synnerhet i Malmöhus län

Ängsvattning kan ha förekommit i Sverige under Medeltiden men blev vanligare först efter 1800. Föreliggande arbete visar dock att omfattande kunskap om, och faktiska vattningsängar fanns redan på 1760-talet.Tidigare studier rörande den senare utbredningen har främst rört Skåne under perioden 1865-1911 och baserats på Hushållningssällskapens statistik. Denna statistik är problematisk och till stora delar felaktig på grund av återkommande felrapporteringar, varför ängsvattningens omfattning under perioden måste revideras.För Malmöhus län reduceras de tidigare uppgifterna med 75 % vilket får konsekvenser även för anläggningstrenden över tid. Efter reduceringen återfinns ingen dominerande topp i anläggningstakten och hela ängsvattningsperioden kan förlängas in i tidigt 1900-tal. Ängsvattningens roll i den agrara revolutionen var således troligen mindre än vad som tidigare antagits.
