Il en résulte une conséquence très importante : c’est que, tandis que la formule byzantine reste immuable, le thème initial apparaît dans l’art d’Occident en voie d’évolution continue. » (Réau 1957, p. 584.) “Conventional wisdom takes one of the two polarized views regarding the relation of art and religion: either art is the handmaiden of religion, or else the artist is an autonomous agent working out of his or her own inspiration, which may or may not parallel the specific concerns of religion. But surely the relationship is much more complex than this simplistic opposition suggests….” (Morgan 1998, p. 2) 6 Abstract This study applies art sociological, Bourdieusian methodology in an analysis of the ap- pearance of revivalist Byzantine imagery in Swedish and Finnish Lutheran sacred spaces in 1960-2000, with a particular focus on the icon painter Erland Forsberg’s large and still continuing production. Forsberg is presented as a produced producer, as an agent related to the social, cultural and religious structures making his production, his influence, and his position-takings manifest and possible. These structures are discovered among several Lutheran ecclesiastical agents and movements such as the High Church and Retreat move- ments, and also amid the promotional and restrictive field of the Swedish language and culture. Generally, the opponents and supporters of this phenomenon were divided in their opinions in terms of the authenticity of the production and the right to adapt Byzantine/ Orthodox pictorial expressions into Lutheran usage. The promotional agents, in particular, intermingled theology and art history in an attempt to present the re-produced religious image as the original Christian one. Ultimately, Forsberg’s production is conceptualized as related to cultural currents: earlier rejection of Byzantine expressions (in Finland), con- temporary esteem, modernist and post-modernist ideas, and Protestant consumption of reproduced religious prints. The analysis concentrates on Finnish acquisitions of the implemented public works of Forsberg. Often placed as Lutheran altarpieces and realized in several instances as triptychs and polyptychs, Forsbergian icons represent an infusion of Byzantine pictorial materials. Additionally, several details adopted from historical works of church art and certain adapted structural and spatial solutions make the icons appear potentially suitable for Lutheran ritual use. In comparison to the diverse icons in Lutheran sacred spaces in Finland, such as those pertaining to the emergence of the Marian image, Forsbergian icons present unequaled solutions as pictorial position-takings. Keywords: art sociology, Bourdieu, Byzantine, contemporary, culture, Finnish, icon, lan- guage, Lutheran, the Mother of God, nationality, Orthodox, Pantocrator, position-taking, religion, ritual, sacred space, saints, Swedish 7 Preface It is, indeed, an enjoyable task to show my appreciation of all the encouragement and support I have benefitted from while bringing this study to completion. Several individuals and institutional representatives made significant contributions in terms of data and meth- odological and practical support. The Christian Foundation for Support to Science and Art (Tieteen ja Taiteen Kristillinen Tukisäätiö), the Church Research Center and the Ecclesias- tical Board of the Lutheran Church of Finland, the Finnish Academy project “Växelverkan och identitet” (“Interaction and Identity”), the Faculty of Theology and the Department of Practical Theology at the University of Helsinki, the Finnish Graduate School of Theology, and the Rector of the University of Helsinki all had a significant role in the funding of the study. Firstly, I am greatly indebted to my advisor, Professor Markku Heikkilä, for his insightful and inspirational encouragement and guidance during the various stages of the research process. I would like to thank Professor Heikki Hanka in particular for his thorough guidance on matters concerning art history and the sociology of art, Kari Kotkavaara, Ph.D., for his wide-ranging expertise on revivalist icons, Professor Eila Helander at the Finnish Graduate School of Theology for her inspirational support, Professor Jyrki Knuu- tila for his encouragement and support, and Professor David Morgan for his endorsement and thought-provoking ideas that influenced my studies from the very beginning. I owe my deepest gratitude to Mr. Erland Forsberg and his family: it was his friendliness, his great cordiality and his interest in my study at the very start that made it possible to realize this project. Furthermore, several friends and colleagues have made valuable contributions at all stages of this enterprise. Timo Pokki, Th.D., crucially enriched my studies with his

The debate on future changes in climate, measures for mitigating climate change, and opportunities for adaptation continues in various sectors. The connections between climate change and the cultural environment have also led to interest at the national, Nordic and international levels. In late 2007, the joint Nordic project Effekter av klimaendringer på kulturminner og kulturmiljö (The Effects of Climate Change on Heritage Sites and the Cultural Environment) was launched for the purpose of gathering and disseminating information on how climate change is expected to affect the Nordic countries, in particular, the specific impacts of climate change on the cultural environment and its care and administration.

  • The Quest for an American Lutheran Theology: Augustana and Lutheran Quarterly by Maria E
    The Quest for an American Lutheran Theology: Augustana and Lutheran Quarterly by Maria E. Erling he Augustana Synod’s 1948 centennial commemorated the Tfounding of its fi rst congregation.1 The seminary’s theological journal, The Augustana Quarterly, marked the anniversary by introducing readers to their Swedish heritage. Historical essays by Hilding Pleijel and others on nineteenth-century church life in Sweden explained how Swedish rural piety shaped personal and social life. Gustaf Aulen and Anders Nygren brought Swedish theology, with its fresh approach to the post-war crisis, to Augustana’s fully Americanized readership. The Augustana Quarterly renewed the relationship between Sweden and America at a crucial time. Lutheran leaders, especially in Scandinavia, were emerging from the crisis of the war with a profound sense that the future of Lutheranism itself depended on a fresh articulation of its Reformation theological heritage. They wanted and needed an American audience, while Lutherans in the United States also sought to participate in this work of theological renewal. American Lutheran relief eff orts had convinced Europeans of the American reputation for activism, but Germans and Scandinavians were suspicious of activism in theology, even though quietism was now demonstrably far worse. A new articulation of Lutheran theology was a part of the reconstruction eff ort needed to restore the spiritual legacy of the churches in the wake of the seeming capitulation of German Lutheranism to the totalitarian Nazi state. The Augustana Quarterly and The Lutheran Church Quarterly (a jointly produced journal from Gettysburg and Philadelphia) both worked to reorient Lutheran theology to address the needs of the hour.

The model is reproduced from its two stellar occultation observations and six lightcurves between 1969 and 2011. The first stellar occultation was the occultation of TYC 234500183 on 1996 De- cember 17 observed from 13 sites in the USA. An elliptical cross section of (344.6 ± 9.6 km) × (306.2 ± 9.1 km), for position angle P = 73.4 ± 12.5˚ was fitted. The lightcurve around the occulta- tion shows that the peak-to-peak amplitude was 0.04 mag. and the occultation phase was just be- fore the minimum.

  • Claes-Göran Holmberg
    fLaMMan claes-Göran holmberg Precursors swedish avant-garde groups were very late in founding their own magazines. in france and Germany, little magazines had been pub- lished continuously from the romantic era onwards. a magazine was an ideal platform for the consolidation of a new movement in its formative phase. it was a collective thrust at the heart of the enemy: the older generation, the academies, the traditionalists. By showing a united front (through programmatic declarations, manifestos, es- says etc.) you assured the public that you were to be reckoned with. almost every new artist group or current has tried to create a mag- azine to define and promote itself. the first swedish little magazine to embrace the symbolist and decadent movements of fin-de-siècle europe was Med pensel och penna (With paintbrush and pen, 1904-1905), published in Uppsala by the society of “Les quatres diables”, a group of young poets and students engaged in aestheticism and Baudelaire adulation. Mem- bers were the poet and student in slavic languages sigurd agrell (1881-1937), the student and later professor of art history harald Brising (1881-1918), the student of philosophy and later professor of psychology John Landquist (1881-1974), and the author sven Lidman (1882-1960); the poet sigfrid siwertz (1882-1970) also joined the group later. the magazine did not leave any great impact on swedish literature but it helped to spread the Jugend style of illu- stration, the contemporary love-hate relationship with the city and the celebration of the intoxicating powers of beauty and deca- dence.

  • LUTHER Historical Significance Can Hardly Be Overstated
    FOREWORD BY ROBERT KOLB LUTHER historical significance can hardly be overstated. CARL R. TRUEMAN MartinKnown as the Luther’s father of the Protestant Reformation, Luther has had an enormous impact on Western Christianity and culture. In Luther on the Christian Life, AFTERWORD BY MARTIN E. MARTY historian Carl Trueman introduces readers to the lively Reformer, taking them on a tour of his historical context, theological system, and approach to the Christian life. on the Christian Life Whether exploring Luther’s theology of protest, ever-present sense of humor, or misunderstood view of sanctification, this book will help modern readers go deeper in their spiritual walk by learning from one of the great teachers of the faith. “This book illustrates again why Martin Luther remains a nearly inexhaustible resource. Trueman explains why Luther can be such a perceptive, encouraging, human, and even humorous guide to the Christian life.” MARK A. NOLL, Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History, University of Notre Dame “Carl Trueman has pulled off a tremendous feat: he’s not only given us a volume that is scholarly and historically nuanced while still accessible and refreshingly contemporary; he’s also managed to capture the brilliance and boldness of Martin Luther in a relatively short space.” KEVIN DEYOUNG, Senior Pastor, University Reformed Church, East Lansing, Michigan “If you think you know Luther, read this book. It is a remarkably edifying and illuminating piece of work. Displaying the interests of a pastor and the rigor of a historian, Trueman provides us with an analysis of Luther on the Christian life that is as ‘human’ as the German Reformer himself.” MICHAEL HORTON, J.

Review of Ludwig Qvarnström (ed.), Swedish Art History: A Selection of Introductory Texts, Lund Studies in Arts and Cultural Sciences 18, 2018. ISBN: 978-91-983690-6-9, 408 p. In his introduction to Swedish Art History: A Selection of Introductory Texts, its editor Ludwig Qvarnström asks, ’Do we need another national art history in these days of globalisation?’ He goes on to reply to his own question by citing the practical needs of, for example, exchange students who have come to study art history at the University of Lund. The history of Swedish art, any more than that of other Nordic countries, is not to be found in so-called general works of art history. For this reason, there has been a focus in all these countries on providing general presentations of the country’s art history, of either broader or more limited scope. English-language versions of these works, however, have been rare. With this in mind, it is understandable that the University of Lund has chosen to publish the book discussed here, especially since the previous general work on Swedish art history in English, A History of Swedish Art by Mereth Lindgren et al. (1987), has been out of print for many years. This new work presents Swedish art history from prehistoric times to the 21st century. The book’s heading, however, specifies that it is a selection of introductory texts by various experts.
