Histories of Knowledge in Postwar Scandinavia Histories of Knowledge in Postwar Scandinavia Histories of Knowledge in Postwar Scandinavia uses case studies to explore how knowledge circulated in the different public arenas that shaped politics, economics, and cultural life in and across postwar Scandinavia, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. This book focuses on a period when the term “knowledge society” was coined and rapidly found traction. 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 concentration on knowledge rather than the welfare state, the Cold War, or the new social and political movements, which to date have attracted the lion’s share of scholarly attention, ensures the book makes a historiographical intervention in postwar Scandinavian historiography. Offering a stimulating point of departure for those interested in the history of knowledge and the circulation of knowledge, this is a vital resource for students and scholars of postwar Scandinavia that provides fresh perspectives and new methodologies for exploration. Johan Östling is a Wallenberg Academy Fellow and the director of the Lund Centre for the History of Knowledge (LUCK). Östling’s research encompasses the history of knowledge and modern European history. His recent publications include Humboldt and the Modern German University, Circulation of Knowledge, and Forms of Knowledge. Niklas Olsen is an associate professor at the Saxo Institute and Chair of the Centre of Modern European Studies, University of Copenhagen. His research interests address European history in the twentieth century. His recent publications include The Sovereign Consumer: A New Intellectual History of Neoliberalism. David Larsson Heidenblad is an associate professor and a deputy director of the Lund Centre for the History of Knowledge (LUCK). He has an interest in the societal relevance of various forms of knowledge. His publications include Circulation of Knowledge and Forms of Knowledge. Knowledge Societies in History Series Editors: Sven Dupré Utrecht University and University of Amsterdam, Netherlands, and Wijnand Mijnhardt Utrecht University, Netherlands The expertise of the history of knowledge is essential in tackling the issues and concerns surrounding present-day global knowledge society. Books in this series historicize and critically engage with the concept of knowledge society, with conceptual and methodological contributions enabling the historian to analyse and compare the origins, formation and development of knowledge societies.

  • Codebook Indiveu – Party Preferences
    Codebook InDivEU – party preferences European University Institute, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies December 2020 Introduction The “InDivEU – party preferences” dataset provides data on the positions of more than 400 parties from 28 countries1 on questions of (differentiated) European integration. The dataset comprises a selection of party positions taken from two existing datasets: (1) The EU Profiler/euandi Trend File The EU Profiler/euandi Trend File contains party positions for three rounds of European Parliament elections (2009, 2014, and 2019). Party positions were determined in an iterative process of party self-placement and expert judgement. For more information: https://cadmus.eui.eu/handle/1814/65944 (2) The Chapel Hill Expert Survey The Chapel Hill Expert Survey contains party positions for the national elections most closely corresponding the European Parliament elections of 2009, 2014, 2019. Party positions were determined by expert judgement. For more information: https://www.chesdata.eu/ Three additional party positions, related to DI-specific questions, are included in the dataset. These positions were determined by experts involved in the 2019 edition of euandi after the elections took place. The inclusion of party positions in the “InDivEU – party preferences” is limited to the following issues: - General questions about the EU - Questions about EU policy - Questions about differentiated integration - Questions about party ideology 1 This includes all 27 member states of the European Union in 2020, plus the United Kingdom.

Mari Torsdotter Hauge Masteroppgåve i historie Institutt for arkeologi, konservering og historie UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Hausten 2014 II Gud bevare meg fra noengang å fullføre noe. Hele denne boken er bare et utkast - nei, bare utkastet til et utkast. Å, tid, styrke, kontanter og tålmot! Herman Melville, Moby Dick (1851) III IV Føreord «Det verkar som du har trivst med skrivinga,» sa rettleiaren min, Øystein Sørensen, på den siste store manusgjennomgangen av denne masteroppgåva for nokre veker sidan, og han hadde heilt rett. Sidan eg starta på masterprogrammet i fjor vinter og famla meg fram i ukjende arkiv, har det vore ein fest og eit privilegium å få bruka såpass mykje tid på å fordjupa meg i ein organisasjon og ei gruppe fascinerande menneske som på mange måtar er gløymde i Noreg i dag, og det er mange som skal ha takk for at arbeidet har glidd framover og skrivinga har vore noko eg (for det meste) har trivst med. Først og fremst ein stor takk til rettleiar Øystein som fekk meg interessert i dette temaet, og som har ført meg inn på rett spor kvar gong eg har vingla litt ut av kurs. Eg skuldar også ein stor takk til det venlege personalet på Spesiallesesalen på Nasjonalbiblioteket, som har vist veg i arkivesker og kartotekkort. Å skriva master i historie hadde neppe vore like lett utan gode vener og humørspreiarar på pauserommet i 3. etasje på Niels Treschows hus. Takk til alle som har drukke kaffi i tide og utide dei to siste åra, og ein særleg takk til Ingrid, Maria og resten av Kvinnegruppa Ottar Dahl for å vera gode forbundsfeller i kampen for eit mindre mannsdominert historiefag.

    29. Swedes in French: Cultural Transfer from Periphery to Literary Metropolis Andreas Hedberg Literature, Uppsala University There is a long tradition of cultural exchange between Sweden and France.1 Typically, this exchange has been dominated by cul- tural phenomena moving northward, from Paris to Stockholm. However, in the context of understanding the relationship between the vernacular and the cosmopolitan, between the dominated and the dominating, one should not neglect the cultural products that have traveled the opposite route. Translations into French have played an important role for the continued mediation of Swedish fiction to the literary world. For instance, France was among the first major foreign markets for Stieg Larsson’s now world-famous crime novels.2 But there are several older examples. A French translation of the Swedish Nobel prize laureate Selma Lagerlöf’s debut novel Gösta Berlings saga (1891) was published as early as 1904 and marked the beginning of a half-century-long heyday for 1 Cf. e.g. Une amitié millénaire: Les relations entre la France et la Suède à travers les ages, L’historie dans l’actualité, edited by Marianne and Jean- François Battail (Paris: Beauchesne, 1993). 2 Sylvain Briens and Martin Kylhammar, Poétocratie.

The implications of the financial meltdown for labour markets and for sovereign debts have been immense, and, in turn, they have brought about changes in the EUs infrastructure and have deepened the commitment to European cooperation, such as the fiscal compact, the ESM and the European semester. At the same time, however, the effects of the crisis have been asymmetrically dispersed among - and within - the EU member states, where the ideas, realities and benefits of the EU are receiving new political and electoral focus. In this set of unusual circumstances, the perceptions and conceptualisations of European political cooperation may pass through periods of reaction, and possibly, more long-term changes in the definition of EU membership.
