  • 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. I soon arrive at Stockholm Ström and see the Royal Castle to my right across the water and the famous Grand Hotel (2) and Nationalmuseum (3) to my left.

  • 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.

  • View Excerpt (PDF)
    PREFACE Torsten Gunnarsson, Chief Curator of Collections at the National Museum in Stockholm and widely respected author, has stated that the Swedish artist, Carl Larsson (1853–1919), ‘‘neither founded a school nor had any imitators,’’1 yet he is as popular now and possibly even more so given his international recognition, than he was a century ago in Sweden. At the turn of the last century, Sweden, along with most of Europe, was being transformed into an industrial- ized and modern society that made many citizens uneasy and uncomfortable. Larsson’s watercolors, on the other hand, represented the traditions of a peaceful and rural Swedish countryside as well as an uncomplicated existence, an idealized world. Through his works of art, Larsson depicted the comforts of home, the good life and happiness, surrounded by family, sunshine, and the beauty of nature. These paintings contributed to his exceptional appeal that led to his singular position in the realm of Swedish art that touched a universal chord. More importantly, the development of new techniques in color printing during his lifetime brought his work into Swedish homes and throughout Europe, particularly Germany, by means of his published albums, containing both his art and text, unusual in the art world. This is the Carl Larsson that most people know today, but the paintings within these albums have eclipsed the multifaceted and versatile artist he truly was. He was not only a gifted watercolorist, but also a talented illustrator, a fine portrait painter, a skillful graphic artist, and an original muralist. And perhaps, most interesting of all, he, along with his wife Karin, has had a direct influence on international design and interior decoration, which began during his lifetime, and has continued up to the present.

  • Midvinterblot: O Sacrifício Humano Na Cultura Viking E No Imaginário Contemporâneo
    Brathair 4 (2), 2004: 61-85 ISSN 1519-9053 Midvinterblot: O Sacrifício Humano na Cultura Viking e no Imaginário Contemporâneo Prof. Dr. Johnni Langer Universidade do Contestado, SC [email protected] Resumo O artigo pretende analisar o sacrifício humano na cultura Viking, especialmente o regicídio e sua representação no imaginário, refletido nas artes plásticas e nos textos literários. A principal fonte investigada foi a tela Midvinterblot, do sueco Carl Larsson, feita em 1915. Utilizando a teoria antropológica sobre sacrifício de René Girard e a metodologia do imaginário social de Bronislaw Baczko, o artigo demonstra que conotações pejorativas e moralistas sobre as religiosidades pré-cristãs, iniciadas na Antiguidade, ainda se mantém no mundo contemporâneo e mesmo do discurso acadêmico, prejudicando o verdadeiro significado das práticas de imolação nos tempos antigos. Palavras-Chave: sacrifício humano, religiões Vikings, Arte e imaginário.

  • A Heathen King
    Life and Biography in the Middle Ages: A Heathen King Life and Biography in the Middle Ages: A Heathen King The speaker at one of the literary lecture offered in the series 'Life and Biography in the Middle Ages' on the topic of 'A Heathen King' at the Faculty of Arts on the 29th of March was Dr. Rolf Stavnem, who lectures on Nordic medieval literature and languages at the Aarhus University in Denmark. A glance over the handout provided at the start of the session with extracts of various old Nordic texts made the recurring theme of the lecture become immediately clear – lines such as 'Hogni laughed as they cut out his heart', 'It was that gave that gramr his death' and 'Dagr, I heard, death's judgment' certainly signaled the tone of the lecture. Jokingly, Stavnem commented that the lecture for the week may more aptly have been titled 'Death and Biography' and later referred to one ancient King in particular with the simple note that their life was presumably “so uneventful that we know nothing of them but how they died”. The collection of extracts compiled by Stavnem began with Historia Norvegiae, a history of Norway written in roughly 1200, in which the author describes how the Kings of old were 'worshipped as gods by their posterity' before going on, in what seems like somewhat of a contradiction, to say nothing of the lives of these Kings, but rather to describe – in a rather matter-of-fact way – the manner in which they died: King Domaldi of Uppsala was hanged by the Swedes as a sacrifice to the goddess Ceres, Ingjaldr, another legendary ruler of early medieval Sweden, was killed in an act of fratricide, and their predecessor on the Swedish throne, Vanlandi, was smothered by a demon in his sleep.

  • Sveriges Mest Monumentala Målning? – Mediala Praktikers Betydelse För Formeringen Av Kulturarv
    _ Södertörns Högskola | Institutionen för kultur och kommunikation Magisteruppsats 30 hp | Idéhistoria | Vårterminen 2011 Sveriges mest monumentala målning? – Mediala praktikers betydelse för formeringen av kulturarv. En undersökning av 1987 års debatt om Carl Larssons Midvinterblot. Av: Tintin Hodén Handledare: Magnus Rodell Abstract This essay examines the debate that arose in connection to the sale of Carl Larsson’s monumental painting Midvinterblot in 1987. My main purpose is to examine which meanings the debaters ascribed Midvinterblot and in which way the debate influenced the paintings significance as cultural heritage. I will therefore argue that the debate initiated a renegotitation of the paintings meaning as cultural heritage. In the debate the debaters emphasized the National Museum’s responsibility over cultural heritage, Midvinterblots aestethic, the paintings economic value and its national implications. The controversies concerning the painting shows that its meaning as cultural heritage was not constituted by the painting itself but by the meanings which the debaters placed upon it. The debate also sheds light on that there may be a wide variety of opinions concerning what it is that constitutes as cultural heritage. The meanings the debaters ascribed Midvinterblot related, however, in a crucial way to each other. My examination of the debate also show how cultural heritage is created to fill a specific purpose, for example, to maintain cultural values, to attract tourists or as a resource in the formation of group identities. Keywords: cultural heritage, debate, canon, aesthetic values, tourism, national identity, Midvinterblot, Nationalmuseum, Per Bjurström, Carl Larsson. Innehåll 1.
