The Historian-Filmmaker's Dilemma: Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius
ACTA UNIVERSITATIS UPSALIENSIS Studia Historica Upsaliensia 210 Utgivna av Historiska institutionen vid Uppsala universitet genom Torkel Jansson, Jan Lindegren och Maria Ågren 1 2 David Ludvigsson The Historian-Filmmaker’s Dilemma Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius 3 Dissertation in History for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy presented at Uppsala University in 2003 ABSTRACT Ludvigsson, David, 2003: The Historian-Filmmaker’s Dilemma. Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius. Written in English. Acta Universitatis Upsalien- sis. Studia Historica Upsaliensia 210. (411 pages). Uppsala 2003. ISSN 0081-6531. ISBN 91-554-5782-7. This dissertation investigates how history is used in historical documentary films, and ar- gues that the maker of such films constantly negotiates between cognitive, moral, and aes- thetic demands. In support of this contention a number of historical documentaries by Swedish historian-filmmakers Olle Häger and Hans Villius are discussed. Other historical documentaries supply additional examples. The analyses take into account both the produc- tion process and the representations themselves. The history culture and the social field of history production together form the conceptual framework for the study, and one of the aims is to analyse the role of professional historians in public life. The analyses show that different considerations compete and work together in the case of all documentaries, and figure at all stages of pre-production, production, and post-produc- tion. But different considerations have particular inuence at different stages in the produc- tion process and thus they are more or less important depending on where in the process the producer puts his emphasis on them.

Wandering in a Sea of Ice: Voyage, Narrative and Resonance in the Photographs of Nils Strindberg
CROSSING BORDERS, SHIFTING BOUNDARIES – THE AURA OF THE IMAGE ISSN: 2183-8976 [PRINT] 2183-9468 [ONLINE] Volume 1, Issue 1 | Publication year: 2016 DOI 10.24840/2183-8976_2016-0001_0001_05 © SCOPIO EDITIONS HOMEPAGE: HTTPS://WWW.SOPHIAJOURNAL.NET WANDERING IN A SEA OF ICE: VOYAGE, NARRATIVE AND RESONANCE IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF NILS STRINDBERG Eduardo Brito Abstract Nils Strindberg (1872-1897) was a Swedish photographer that took part in Salomon August Andrée’s Balloon Expedition to the North Pole in 1897. The expedition failed – three days after the departure, the balloon landed on frozen sea and the three men tried to walk homewards for three months until they died. Thirty-three years later, their remains were found and, among them, Strindberg’s camera and exposed films. This article considers not only the questions that arise when we first see Strindberg’s images – how did this photograph survived and came to us? What happened after the balloon disappeared in the horizon? – but also aims to contextualize this photographic set in the history of Arctic imagery and to analyse its semantic resonances on artistic and authorial creation, thus demonstrating its importance, beyond an historical approach. Keywords: Photography, Artic, Salomon August Andrée, Narrative and Resonance WANDERING IN A SEA OF ICE: VOYAGE, NARRATIVE AND RESONANCE IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF NILS STRINDBERG Written by Eduardo Brito Introduction At 1:55 pm July 11th, 1897, the hydrogen balloon Eagle took off from Danes Island, on the Svalbard archipelago, towards the North Pole. Aboard, the photographer Nils Strindberg, meteorologist Knut Frænkel and chief engineer Salomon August Andrée. Thirty-three years later, the remains of the expedition were found at Kvitøya Island, 260 miles east their departing point.

By Victor Nilsson
SWEDEN BY VICTOR NILSSON HISTORY OF SWEDEN CHAPTER I Sweden in Prehistoric and Early Historic Times—Archæological Finds and Classical Testimony The Swedes, although the oldest and most unmixed race in Europe, realized very late the necessity of writing chronicles or reviews of historic events. Thus the names of heroes and kings of the remotest past are helplessly forgotten, and lost also the history of its earliest religion and institutions. But Mother Earth has carefully preserved most of what has been deposited in her bosom, and has repaid diligent research with trustworthy and irrefutable accounts of the age and various degrees of civilization of the race which inhabited Sweden in prehistoric times. Thus it has been proved that Sweden, like most other countries, has had a Stone Age, a Bronze Age, and an Iron Age. But there is absolutely no evidence to prove the now antiquated theories of various immigrations into Sweden by different races on different stages of civilization. On the contrary, the graves from the remotest times, through all successive periods, prove by the form of the skulls of those buried in them that Sweden has, through all ages, been inhabited by the same dolichocephalic, or long-headed, race which constitutes the overwhelming majority of her people to-day. Sweden, physically considered, is not of as high antiquity as some countries of Europe. Yet it has been inhabited during the last four thousand years, at least. In the quaternary period the Scandinavian peninsula was a centre of a glacial movement which spread its disastrous influences over Western Russia, Northern Germany and Holland.

Strindberg's Star
S t r i n d b e r g ’ s S t a r Jan Wallentin 1 2 13th May 1896. A letter from my wife, who has read in the newspaper that a Herr Strindberg is to journey to the North Pole by balloon. I advise her of the error, that it is the son of my cousin who intends to risk his life in the cause of a great scientific discovery. (August Strindberg, Inferno, Purgatory) That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out? (Ecclesiastes 7:24) 3 4 * t h e i n v i t a t i o n His face had definitely sagged and despite all the efforts of the TV make‐up girl nothing could disguise the fact. She had tried hard: fifteen minutes with sponge, brush and peach‐coloured mineral powder. Now, after she had replaced his pilot glasses, instead of having black rings under his eyes he had pink. It looked unhealthy against his grey cheeks. She patted him gently on the shoulder and said: “That’s it, Don. The presenter will come and fetch you soon.” Then she smiled at him in the mirror and tried to look satisfied. But he knew what she was thinking. Ein farshlepteh krenk, a lingering sickness, that’s what aging was. His shoulder bag was resting against the foot of the swivel chair and after the make‐up girl went out, Don bent over and started rummaging around in its contents of tablet containers, hypodermics and blister packs. He extracted two round 20mg tablets of diazepam.
