  • 16. Stockholm & Brussels 1911 & 1912: a Feminist
    1 16. STOCKHOLM & BRUSSELS 1911 & 1912: A FEMINIST INTERNATIONAL? You must realize that there is not only the struggle for woman Suffrage, but that there is another mighty, stormy struggle going on all over the world, I mean the struggle on and near the labour market. Marie Rutgers-Hoitsema 1911 International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA) became effective because it concentrated on one question only. The Alliance (it will be the short word for the IWSA) wanted to show a combatant and forceful image. It was of importance to have many followers and members. Inside the Alliance, there was no room to discuss other aspect of women's citizenship, only the political. This made it possible for women who did not want to change the prevalent gender division of labor to become supporters. The period saw an increase of the ideology about femininity and maternity, also prevalent in the suffrage movement. But some activists did not stop placing a high value on the question of woman's economic independence, on her economic citizenship. They wanted a more comprehensive emancipation because they believed in overall equality. Some of these feminists took, in Stockholm in 1911, the initiative to a new international woman organization. As IWSA once had been planned at an ICW- congress (in London in 1899) they wanted to try a similar break-out-strategy. IWSA held its sixth international congress in June in the Swedish capital. It gathered 1 200 delegates.1 The organization, founded in opposition to the shallow enthusiasm for suffrage inside the ICW, was once started by radical women who wanted equality with men.

  • In Airplane and Ferry Passenger Stories in the Northern Baltic Sea Region
    VARSTVOSLOVJE, Risk, Safety and Freedom of Journal of Criminal Justice and Security, year 18 Movement: no. 2 pp. 175‒193 In Airplane and Ferry Passenger Stories in the Northern Baltic Sea Region Sophia Yakhlef, Goran Basic, Malin Åkerström Purpose: The purpose of this study is to map and analyse how travellers at an airport and on ferries experience, interpret and define the risk, safety and freedom of movement in the northern part of the Baltic Sea region with regard to the border agencies. Design/Methods/Approach: This qualitative study is based on empirically gathered material such as field interviews and fieldwork observations on Stockholm’s Arlanda airport in Sweden, and a Tallink Silja Line ferry running between Stockholm and Riga in Latvia. The study’s general starting point was an ethno-methodologically inspired perspective on verbal descriptions along with an interactionist perspective which considers interactions expressed through language and gestures. Apart from this starting point, this study focused on the construction of safety as particularly relevant components of the collected empirical material. Findings: The study findings suggest that many passengers at the airport and on the ferries hold positive views about the idea of the freedom of movement in Europe, but are scared of threats coming from outside Europe. The travellers created and re-created the phenomenon of safety which is maintained in contrast to others, in this case the threats from outside Europe. Originality/Value: The passengers in this study construct safety by distinguishing against the others outside Europe but also through interaction with them. The passengers emphasise that the freedom of movement is personally beneficial because it is easier for EU citizens to travel within Europe but, at the same time, it is regarded as facilitating the entry of potential threats into the European Union.

  • THE LIBERATION of OSLO and COPENHAGEN: a MIDSHIPMAN's MEMOIR C.B. Koester
    THE LIBERATION OF OSLO AND COPENHAGEN: A MIDSHIPMAN'S MEMOIR C.B. Koester Introduction I joined HMS Devonshire, a County-class cruiser in the Home Fleet, on 16 September 1944. For the next nine months we operated out of Scapa Flow, the naval base in the Orkneys north of Scotland which had been home to Jellicoe's Grand Fleet during World War I and harboured the main units of the Home Fleet throughout the second conflict. It was a bleak, uninviting collection of seventy-three islands—at low water—twenty-nine of them inhabited, mainly by fishermen and shepherds. Winters were generally miserable and the opportunities for recreation ashore limited. There was boat-pulling and sailing, weather permitting; an occasional game of field hockey on the naval sports ground; and perhaps a Saturday afternoon concert in the fleet canteen or a "tea dance" at the Wrennery. Otherwise, we entertained ourselves aboard: singsongs in the Gunroom; a Sunday night film in the Wardroom; deck hockey in the Dog Watches; and endless games of "liar's dice." Our operations at sea were more harrowing, but only marginally more exciting, consisting mainly of attacks on German shore installations on the Norwegian coast. We rarely saw the coastline, however, for the strikes were carried out by aircraft flying from the escort carriers in the task force. At the same time, we had to be prepared for whatever counterattack the Germans might mount, and until Tirpitz was finally disabled on 12 November 1944, such a riposte might have been severe. That and the ever-present threat of submarines notwithstanding, for most of us these operations involved a large measure of boredom and discomfort.

  • Queen Christina's Esoteric Interests As a Background to Her
    SUSANNA ÅKERMAN Queen Christina’s Esoteric Interests as a Background to Her Platonic Academies n 1681 the blind quietist, Francois Malaval, stated that Queen Christina of Sweden late in life had ‘given up’ [Hermes] Trismegistos and the IPlatonists, in favour of the Church fathers. The statement does not ex- plain what role the Church fathers were to play in her last years, but it does show that Christina really had been interested in the rather elitist and esoteric doctrine of Hermetic Platonic Christianity. In this paper I shall look at her library to show the depth of this Hermetic involvement. Her interest serves as a background to her life as ex-queen in Italy after her famous abdication from the Swedish throne in 1654, when she was 27 years old. Christina styled herself as the Convert of the Age, and she set up court in Rome where she held a series of scientific and cultural acad- emies in her palace. Her Accademia Reale was staged briefly in the Palazzo Farnese in her first year in Rome, 1656, but was revived in 1674 and was held for a number of years in her own Palazzo Riario.1 Also, Giovanni Ciampini’s Accademia dell’Esperienze, also called Ac­­ cademia Fisico-mathematico, gathered there for their first founding meeting in 1677. Furthermore, she was protectress of the Accademia degli Stravaganti in Collegio Clementina from 1678 and in Orvieto for the Accademia dei Misti. (Christina 1966: 377, cited below as NMU.) Her inspirational presence and resources were valued by many liter- ary figures. After her death in 1689, she was chosen to be a symbolic figurehead, Basilissa (Greek for Empress), by the poets that formed the Accademia dell’Arcadia (D’Onofrio 1976).

Things that we used to take for granted, such as spending time with friends, grandchildren and elderly relatives or travelling have been made impossible by the pandemic. In some parts of the world, people’s ability to spend time outside has been limited in an attempt to stop the spread of the covid-19 virus. The pandemic has left deep scars. Lifes has been lost far too soon and loved ones are mourned. Others have become depressed as a result of social isolation or seen their life’s work destroyed due to a faltering economy. We have all been affected in some way. From a socio-economic perspective, many countries have suffered signifcant economic losses as a result of decreased tourism and lockdowns. The fact that we now have several vaccines that can be used to fght covid-19, and that the process of immunising the population has begun, offers hope for the future. We now have the opportunity to build something new, and cities will play an important role in this respect. Vision 2040 Stockholm – City of Opportunities clearly states that the city aims to be a leader when it comes to implementing the 2030 Agenda. Given the effects of the pandemic, it is more important than ever for major cities to continue to work towards achieving the goals relating to economically, socially and environmentally sustainable development.

Drawn by the warm climate, sea views and incredible ruins Athens has to offer, searches for stays in the city increased by 400% from April to October 2020. Other popular metropolitan destinations featured in the most searched for travel locations include: Stockholm, known for fikas and hygge interiors which experienced a 371% increase in searches through Hostelworld; Fashion capital Milan, which saw a 174% increase in searches; and Edinburgh, which came in fourth with a 140% increase.
