Skrifter utgivna av Avdelningen för litteratursociologi vid Litteraturvetenskapliga institutionen i Uppsala, 64, Uppsala 2012, 224 pp. Swedish text. Abstract: This study examines the boom in Swedish crime fiction from a statistical perspec- tive. Theoretical input and methods are derived from the fields of sociology of literature, book history, and bibliometrics. With a quantitative approach, all Swe- dish crime fiction published in 1977–2010 (just over 1,700 titles) are compiled to identify patterns over time. The main source for bibliographical information and delimitations is “Deckarkatalogen” (an annual bibliography published by the Swe- dish crime fiction magazine Jury). Main results: Nearly 2.5 times as many first editions of crime fiction were is- sued in Sweden in the first decade of the 2000s, compared to the 1980s. The in- crease was particularly vast in the years following the turn of the millennium. All kinds of publishers have contributed to this expansion, but two types stand out: major publishers and self-publishers. The share of crime fiction written by women increased in the same period of time from between 10 and 20 percent to just over 30 percent. Furthermore, the gender balance among the bestsellers of crime fiction in the 2000s is nearly even.

    Turnaround Towns: International evidence 27 Case Study 8: Altena, Germany and Pori, Finland The evidence around successful turnaround towns in Europe is limited. However, the cases of Altena, Germany and Pori, Finland feature a number of characteristics that are relevant to this study, so we have included them as illustrative short overviews. Pori and Altena are two of the towns involved in the European Commission’s URBACT II programme, which aims to foster sustainable and integrated urban development.

    Notes For complete author names, titles, and publication data for works cited here in short form, see the Works Cited list at the back of the book. Introduction 1. It is problematic to use the term “emperor” to describe the monarch throughout most of Japanese history. As Joan R. Piggott reminds us in The Emergence of Japanese Kingship, “The term empire is strongly associated with a martial political formation founded on conquest” (8). For most of Japanese history, Japanese monarchs did not preside over empires. The monarchs of Imperial Japan (1890–1945)did rule over an empire that came to include numerous overseas possessions, however. In the case of Hirohito (r. 1926–89), he ascended to the throne as the sovereign of an empire, and thus the term “emperor” is an appropriate title for him for the period from 1926 to 1945. Strictly speaking, the term “emperor” does not describe Japan’s monarch since 1945, for Japan no longer has an empire and the monarch does not even remain sovereign. In the end, however, I decided to use the term “emperor” (as well as terms such as “monarch”) for the postwar period in part because it seemed confusing to switch back and forth between “emperor” for the prewar period and, say, “king” for the postwar period, and also because it served to highlight one of the most important transwar continuities regarding the Japanese throne: Hirohito, who ascended to the throne with the mindset of a sovereign emperor, remained on the throne even as the Japanese empire collapsed and the politico-legal system defining his position underwent sweeping reform.

  • German-Jewish Migration to Sweden - Interdisciplinary Perspectives on History, Identity & Religion
    German-Jewish migration to Sweden - Interdisciplinary Perspectives on History, Identity & Religion English abstracts for papers given in German Thursday, November 6 Keynote II: Professor Dr. Helmut Müssener, UU: Schwedisch-deutsch-jüdische Beziehungen. Eine Desideratenarie Swedish-German-Jewish Relations. A Desideratum. In my lecture, I incorporate the current state of research and compose a catalog of various questions that, as far as I know, are still awaiting an answer. I postulate that the formulation in the invitation to the conference, which speaks of frequent connections between Swedish and German Jewry (italics mine) is an understatement. Rather, we should be speaking about very close and regular contacts, which were the case for a large percentage of Swedish Jewry up until World War II. Moreover, the question will be raised as to how and by whom the object of research is to be defined. The first three sentences from the memoirs of Gunilla Palmstierna Weiss play an important role here: I’ve often asked myself why Peder Herzog, my great-grandfather on my mother’s side, is never mentioned in the research on the history of Jews in Sweden. Why did the established citizenry of Stockholm consider him a Jew, but not the Jews themselves, who, like him, began settling in Stockholm in the mid 19th century? He was born in Niederwiesen/Oppenheim near Mainz in 1838. Then I will present a short bibliographic overview of Swedish secondary literature up to now and segue to open questions about the history of Jewish immigration from German-speaking Central Europe from its very beginnings, though I will first deal with the years after 1933.
