  • A Walkabout Around Historical Blasieholmen and Nybroviken in Stockholm Along the Baltic Sea Water Inlet to Stockholm
    A Walkabout around historical Blasieholmen and Nybroviken in Stockholm along the Baltic Sea water inlet to Stockholm. Our walkabout will start at Kungsträdgården (King’s Garden) and continue along the streets around Blasieholmen towards Nybroviken (New Bridge Bay), where we will view many objects of interests. We will receive more value from the walkabout if we develop a better un- derstanding of the local history of an area when we are viewing the many visual objects. Area around Blasieholmen and Nybroviken Photo: Arlid Vågen I’m arriving at Kungsträdgården Metro Station (1), located in the district of Norrmalm. The platform is located approximately 115ft (34m) under ground. During the exit from the metro station I see several relics rescued from the many buildings demolished, during the some- times tragic redevelopment period of central Stockholm during the period of the 1950s and 1960s. I continue walking along the Birgit Nils- son Allè towards the Stockholm Ström water- front area. Birgit Nilsson was the Swedish world known dramatic opera soprano excelling Walking map for this Walkabout in Wagner style operas. The park Kungsträdgården is divided into four distinct spaces: Square of Charles XII; Molin’s Fountain; Square of Charles XIII and “Fountain of Wolodarski”. My absolute favorite is Charles XII statue, on my right in the middle of the park, with his arm pointing eastward. The story is that he had some un- finished business with the Russians (what’s new...). During the spring time Kungsträdgården presents a stunning view of flower- ing cherry blossoms for the visitor.

  • Stockholm's Archipelago and Strindberg's
    Scandinavica Vol 52 No 2 2013 Stockholm’s Archipelago and Strindberg’s: Historical Reality and Modern Myth-Making Massimo Ciaravolo University of Florence Abstract The Stockholm Archipelago is ubiquitous in the prose, poetry, drama and non-fiction of August Strindberg. This article examines the interaction in Strindberg’s oeuvre between the city of Stockholm as civilized space and the wild space surrounding it, tracing the development of a literary myth of Eden in his work. Strindberg’s representations of the shifting relations between city and nature, it is argued, played (and still play) an important role in the cultural construction of mythologies of the loss of the wild space. The environments described in Strindberg’s texts are subject to changes, shifts and repetitions with variations, such that the archipelago in itself can be read as a mirror of the polyphony of points of view, the variability and the ambiguities we find in his oeuvre at large. Keywords August Strindberg, Stockholm Archipelago, city in literature, nature in literature, mythologies 52 Scandinavica Vol 52 No 2 2013 August Strindberg’s home town of Stockholm, together with its wilder counterpart, the archipelago or skärgård (literally meaning group, or circle, of islands and skerries), plays a large part in Strindberg’s literary universe as well as in his life. The archipelago is ubiquitous in his oeuvre; it occurs in prose as well as in poetry and in drama, and it characterizes both fiction, autobiography and non-fiction (essays, letters and diaries). It can sometimes provide the setting to whole works, but in a series of other works it can be included as one of the settings, or even be mentioned peripherally.

  • Flying Daggers, Horse Whisperers and a Midwinter Sacrifice Creating the Past During the Viking Age and Early Middle Ages
    199 Flying Daggers, Horse Whisperers and a Midwinter Sacrifice Creating the Past during the Viking Age and Early Middle Ages EVa Stensköld This paper sets out to trace the life history of a horse skull found in a bog in Scania in the year 1900.A parallel is drawn between the find of the horse and the famous painting, "Midwinter Sacrifice" by Carl Larsson. The story of the horse has opened up a discussion on how material culture is created and recreated in time and space, resulting in completely new communicative fields. The manifestation of the past and the reuse of Stone Age places and artefacts are brought into focus when the author discusses the location where the horse skull was originally found. Eva Stensköld, Department of Archaeology, Stockholm Uni versity, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden. Key words: Neolithic, Viking Age, Early Middle Ages, material culture, ritual, remembrance, memory, temporality, space, place. OUTSET In the autumn of the year 1900 a strange object was recovered from the bank of the Ullstorp creek, which flows between the parishes of Ullstorp and Kverrestad in Scania. The finder was a man named J.A. Sjögren (Fig. 1), and the object consisted of the forepart of a horse skull. Protruding from the skull, in the middle of the forehead, was a fragmented Late Neolithic flint dagger (Fig. 2). By tracing the horse skull's different historically situated roles, several parallel stories evolve. One story sheds light on why a horse in late Viking Age Scania was killed by means of a Stone Age flint dagger and then placed in a bog.

Over the last 100 years in Sweden, John Bauer’s fairy tale illustrations have maintained a strong grip on that nation’s popular imaginary through over thirty reprint editions, museum exhibits, stamp collections, and, of course, stylistic imitations. While their century-old narrative contexts remain relatively unknown and uninteresting to contemporary audiences, his beautifully blonde children, enchantingly ugly trolls, and stark, Swedish landscapes continue to be bought, sold, and validated as embodying a typically Swedish relationship to nature.

    For the Future: The Swedish Pavilion at the Panama Pacific International Exposition of 1915 JAMES M. KAPLAN he planning, building, and running of the Swedish Pavilion at the Panama Pacific International Exposition of 1915 was one Tof the greatest accomplishments in the history of Swedes in California. One can look back to 1894 for the roots of this project. Early that year there was a moderate-sized Midwinter Exposition in San Francisco. That event, with its small but plucky Swedish exhibit and Sweden Day, was a catalyst for the formation of the Swedish American Patriotic League, an organization that was later to play a key role in the development of the Pavilion. It was built in a period, roughly from the end of the European political upheavals of 1848 to World War II, that was a high-water mark in the international vogue for World's Fairs and diverse expositions. Across the developed world, there was a rapid succession of inventions and technological devel• opments that included the airplane, the automobile, motion pic• tures, electric light, the telephone, the gramophone, and the radio. Countries came together in friendly emulation to show off these new developments, expand commerce, and view each other's cultural landmarks. A pretext seems to have been essential to have a World's Fair, and so there were many more or less compelling commemora• tions: the one hundredth anniversaries of the American and the French Revolutions, the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus's JAMES M. KAPLAN is a regular contributor to the Quarterly. Re holds a Ph.D.
