It was then when Stockholm became an exacting issue to be transformed from the Swedish capital to a leading metropolis. A crucial point in the planning history of Stockholm was the Lindhagen’s plan in 1866 which more or less set the guidelines on how the city would reshaped towards a more healthy, beautiful and functionable space. Open and public spaces were addressed as an important social resource and an essential apparatus to ameliorate health conditions. The dramatic reconstruction of the city centre started in the 1950s and 1960s with the regularization of the city’s core. Lower Norrmalm the core of Stockholm’s business district faced a near total renewal over the period that expand from 1950s to the early 1980s. It’s been characterized by the demolition of hundreds of buildings, construction of the underground hub, a tunnel for cars and approximately over 1.5 million square meters of new but non-residential floor space. -

Urban Planning
Leonid Lavrov, Elena Molotkova, Andrey Surovenkov — Pages 29–42 ON EVALUATING THE CONDITION OF THE SAINT PETERSBURG HISTORIC CENTER DOI: 10.23968/2500-0055-2020-5-3-29-42 Urban Planning ON EVALUATING THE CONDITION OF THE SAINT PETERSBURG HISTORIC CENTER Leonid Lavrov, Elena Molotkova*, Andrey Surovenkov Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering Vtoraja Krasnoarmeyskaya st., 4, Saint Petersburg, Russia *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Introduction: This study was prompted by the introduction of the urban environment quality index into the system operated by the Russian Ministry of Construction Industry, Housing and Utilities Sector (Minstroy). We note that the ˝environment-centric˝ methodologies were already worked on and applied to housing studies in Leningrad as far back as during the 1970–1980s, and that the insights from these studies can now be used for analyzing the current state of the urban environment. Purpose of the study and methods: The information reviewed in this article gives us the first glimpse of the tangible urban environment in the historic center of Saint Petersburg. Many features of this part of the city are reminiscent of other European metropolises, but the fact that the historic center is split into three parts by vast waterways, that the construction began from the ground up in the middle of the wilderness, and that the active urban development phase lasted only a century and a half (from the 1760s to the 1910s), has a major part to play. Results: We use quantitative data to describe the features of the Saint Petersburg historic center and compare our findings to the features of European metropolises, across such parameters as spatial geometry, transportation and pedestrian links, and environmental conditions. -

Intermediality As a Tool for Aesthetic Analysis and Critical Reflection, Edited by Sonya Petersson, Christer Johansson, Magdalena Holdar, and Sara Callahan, 261–283
Mediating Public Cultural Policy: Buildings, Bills, and Films as Governmentality Fredrik Krohn Andersson Abstract This article examines how the supposedly new public cultural policy in Sweden during the 1960 and 1970s was mediated and materialized in a number of forms. The cultural policy encom- passed both a contradiction between the emphasis on a broad- ened concept of culture and a more narrow understanding of cultural practices, as well as a conflict between elements of power and control in policymaking, and assertions on the necessarily free character of the cultural domain. Departing from three cases, in form of the government committee report Ny kulturpolitik 1972 and the government bill on cultural policy 1974, the build- ing Kulturhuset in Stockholm 1974, and the information film Jämlikhet – för handikappade? 1973, an approach of governmen- tality is in conjunction with perspectives of inter- and transmedi- ality implemented in order to analyze how the potentially inherent conflicts and contradictions of the cultural policy were enacted in these various mediated forms.

Våra observationer och rumsa- nalyser har resulterat i ett antal slutsatser om platsens utvecklingspotential. Utifrån stadens målsättningar med nedre Sergels torg har sedan ett antal rekommendationer för kommande planbearbetning tagits fram. Nedre Sergels torg idag Nedre Sergels torg är idag utan tvekan Sveriges mest sammansatta offentliga plats. Här möts till vardags en bredd i samhällslivet som saknar motstycke. Platsen befolkas idag främst av tunnelbanan och närliggande målpunkter som Citys shoppingutbud och Kulturhuset. Våra undersökningar visar att det framförallt är kanten mellan Arkaden och Plattan som är det mest aktiva rummet på nedre Sergels torg. -
The Cambridge Companion to August Strindberg Edited by Michael Robinson Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-60852-7 - The Cambridge Companion to August Strindberg Edited by Michael Robinson Frontmatter More information the cambridge companion to august strindberg August Strindberg is one of the most enduring of nineteenth-century dramatists, and is also an internationally recognized novelist, autobiographer and painter. This Companion presents contributions by leading international scholars on different aspects of Strindberg’s highly colourful life and work. The essays focus primarily on his most celebrated plays; these include the naturalist dramas, The Father and Miss Julie; the experimental dramas with which he created a true modernist theatre – To Damascus and A Dream Play; and the Chamber Plays of 1908 which, like so much of his work, exerted a powerful influence on later twentieth-century drama. His plays are contextualized for what they contribute both to the history of drama and developments in theatre practice, and other essays clarify the enormous importance to these dramas of his other work, most notably the autobiographical novel Inferno, and his lifelong interest in science, the occult, sexual politics and the visual arts. michael robinson is Professor Emeritus of Drama and Scandinavian Studies at the University of East Anglia, Norwich. He is the author of Strindberg and Autobiography (1986) and Studies in Strindberg (1998), and has translated a two-volume selection of Strindberg’s letters (1992), a collection of his essays (1996) and five of the plays (1998). He has edited five volumes of essays on Strindberg and Ibsen, and is also the General Editor of the Cambridge Plays in Production series. His three-volume International Annotated Bibliography of Strindberg Studies was published by the MHRA in 2008. -

This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The thesis deals with the creation of a ‘public’ in St Petersburg during the first half of the eighteenth century. The term ‘public’ has generated a considerable historiography dealing with its implications for the field of eighteenth-century studies, which are discussed in the introduction along with the contemporary definitions of the word. In eighteenth-century Russia, the term ‘public’ usually carried the meaning of ‘audience’, typically in reference to the theatre and other spectacles. The definition of this and other similar terms provides an important framework through which to analyse the various elements of this phenomenon. This analysis has centred on the city of St Petersburg in this period for several reasons. Firstly, it was the seat of both the Russian government and the Court around a decade after its foundation and Peter I ensured its rapid population. -
