  • 4.Murtomäki 2017.10192 Words
    Sibelius in the Context of the Finnish-German History Veijo Murtomäki Introduction The life and career of a composer cannot be considered as an isolated case without taking into account the wider context. The history of ideas and ideologies is always part of any serious enquiry into an artist’s personal history. Therefore we must bear in mind at least four points when considering the actions of artist and his or her country. Firstly, as the eminent Finnish historian Matti Klinge has observed, "the biggest challenge for understanding history is trying to situate oneself in the preconditions of the time-period under scrutiny while remembering that it did not know what the posterity knows."[1] Writing history is not primarily a task whereby the historian provides lines for actors to speak, but rather is an attempt to understand and explain why something happened, and to construct a context including all of the possible factors involved in a certain historical process. Secondly, supporting (or not opposing) an ideology prevailing at a certain time does not mean that the supporter (or non-opponent) is committing a crime. We could easily condemn half of the European intellectuals for supporting Fascism, Nazism, Communism or Maoism, or just for having become too easily attracted by these – in their mind – fascinating, visionary ideologies to shape European or world history. Thirdly, history has always been written by the winners – and thus, historiography tends to be distorted by exaggerating the evil of the enemy and the goodness of the victor. A moral verdict must be reached when we are dealing with absolute evil, but it is rare to find exclusively good or bad persons or civilizations; therefore history is rarely an issue of black and white.

  • Fortification Renaissance: the Roman Origins of the Trace Italienne
    FORTIFICATION RENAISSANCE: THE ROMAN ORIGINS OF THE TRACE ITALIENNE Robert T. Vigus Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2013 APPROVED: Guy Chet, Committee Co-Chair Christopher Fuhrmann, Committee Co-Chair Walter Roberts, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Vigus, Robert T. Fortification Renaissance: The Roman Origins of the Trace Italienne. Master of Arts (History), May 2013, pp.71, 35 illustrations, bibliography, 67 titles. The Military Revolution thesis posited by Michael Roberts and expanded upon by Geoffrey Parker places the trace italienne style of fortification of the early modern period as something that is a novel creation, borne out of the minds of Renaissance geniuses. Research shows, however, that the key component of the trace italienne, the angled bastion, has its roots in Greek and Roman writing, and in extant constructions by Roman and Byzantine engineers. The angled bastion of the trace italienne was yet another aspect of the resurgent Greek and Roman culture characteristic of the Renaissance along with the traditions of medicine, mathematics, and science. The writings of the ancients were bolstered by physical examples located in important trading and pilgrimage routes. Furthermore, the geometric layout of the trace italienne stems from Ottoman fortifications that preceded it by at least two hundred years. The Renaissance geniuses combined ancient bastion designs with eastern geometry to match a burgeoning threat in the rising power of the siege cannon. Copyright 2013 by Robert T. Vigus ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and encouragement of many people.

  • Bohusläns Eskader Av Arméns Flotta 1788–1790
    Bohusläns eskader av arméns flotta 1788–1790 Ulf Sundberg rméns flotta, även kallad skärgårdsflottan, etablerades år 1756 som en Afristående organisation.1 Flottan bestod till skillnad från den havsgå- ende Örlogsflottan av ett stort antal mindre fartyg av olika typer. Forsk- ningsläget avseende organisationens fartyg och bemanning är sådant att stora mängder kunskap saknas. Påståendet gäller framförallt för perioden före år 1791. Jan Glete anmärkte t.ex. i sin artikel om sjökriget i verket Gustav III:s ryska krig att omfattningen av de rustningar som genomfördes under vintern 1789–1790 inte är helt klarlagd och att våra kunskaper om dessa är approximativa.2 Glete konstaterade i samma artikel att det före- ligger en brist på kunskap rörande flottornas personal och bemanning.3 Den följande artikeln är en mikrohistorisk studie av skärgårdsflottans Bohuseskader 1788–1790 som syftar till att i någon mån reducera de luckor som finns i forskningen kring arméns flotta. I förlängningen syftar studien till att öka kunskapen kring slaget vid Svensksund den 9–10 juli 1790. Den svenska skärgårdsflotta som gick i strid på morgonen den 9 juli 1790 var resultatet av den omfattande upprustningen under vintern Ulf Sundberg är civilekonom, författare och kapten i flottans reserv. Det senaste publicerade verket är Sveriges krig i fem delar från 2010. Ulf Sundberg har länge odlat ett varmt intresse för skärgårdsflottan och dess många fartyg. Intresset har förutom en tidigare artikel i Forum Navale resulterat i en artikel i antologin Skärgårdsflottan, Hans Norman (red.), Lund 2000 och 2012. 34 35 1789–1790. De nya förbanden tillfördes successivt skärgårdsflottan i Fin- land under våren och sommaren 1790.

    Master's Thesis Regional Studies Urban Geography NEW-BUILD GENTRIFICATION IN HELSINKI Anna Kajosaari 2015 Supervisor: Michael Gentile UNIVERSITY OF HELSINKI FACULTY OF SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF GEOSCIENCES AND GEOGRAPHY GEOGRAPHY PL 64 (Gustaf Hällströmin katu 2) 00014 Helsingin yliopisto Faculty Department Faculty of Science Department of Geosciences and Geography Author Anna Kajosaari Title New-build gentrification in Helsinki Subject Regional Studies Level Month and year Number of pages (including appendices) Master's thesis December 2015 126 pages Abstract This master's thesis discusses the applicability of the concept of new-build gentrification in the context of Helsinki. The aim is to offer new ways to structure the framework of socio-economic change in Helsinki through this theoretical perspective and to explore the suitability of the concept of new-build gentrification in a context where the construction of new housing is under strict municipal regulations. The conceptual understanding of gentrification has expanded since the term's coinage, and has been enlarged to encompass a variety of new actors, causalities and both physical and social outcomes. New-build gentrification on its behalf is one of the manifestations of the current, third-wave gentrification. Over the upcoming years Helsinki is expected to face growth varying from moderate to rapid increase of the population. The last decade has been characterized by the planning of extensive residential areas in the immediate vicinity of the Helsinki CBD and the seaside due to the relocation of inner city cargo shipping. Accompanied with characteristics of local housing policy and existing housing stock, these developments form the framework where the prerequisites for the existence of new-build gentrification are discussed.
