1	Eskilstunakistornas bruk och återbruk : Tidigkristna gravmonument i Östergötland under medeltiden Körlinge, Max January 2012 (has links) This paper studies the fragmentation and reuse of early christian monuments ("eskilstunakistor") in churches in Östergötland during the medieval period. This is found to have been done in two stages. The first stage shows a collectivization of society. Within religion the change from ancestoral cult towards the saints' cult is important as the fragments are reused like relics. During the second stage the collectivization has been fulfilled, and the reuse is instead part of the christian churches' strategy for incorporating old powerful symbols from the landscape into their own church building. eskilstunakista eskilstunakistor tidigkristna gravmonument medeltid stenmonument kista östergötland återbruk kyrkor stenkyrkor runstenar 1100-tal 1000-tal 1200-tal sverkersgården alvastra östra skrukeby västra tollstad hov odal helgonkult fragmentering visibilitet kollektivisering kult marxism kristendomen religion runornamentik ulfhild stenkilska ätten sverkersätten thegn
