Cette étude porte sur le processus de circulation des objets anciens et des hommes dans des boutiques et galeries d’antiquaires à Paris. Le premier chapitre est consacré à une mise en perspective théorique de la notion de savoirs non académiques des antiquaires par le biais d’une enquête de terrain par entretiens semi-directifs. Il met l’accent sur le caractère baroque de l’activité des antiquaires et des effets que cela a pu engendrer sur l’enquête de terrain. Il s’agit de concevoir une théorie permettant de rendre compte de la contribution des antiquaires à la formation des prix et à la « création » de valeur pour des biens non homogènes échappant aux coûts de production « classiques ». Le second chapitre dessine les contours des lieux qui structurent la vie des antiquaires. Il analyse dans une première partie la façon d’entrer et de s’orienter dans un métier d’indépendants où la division du travail, fort peu marquée, voit les antiquaires connaître les heurs et malheurs que réservent tant la prospection que l’authentification des objets. Dans une seconde partie, une synthèse rend compte de la morphologie de l’antiquariat en insistant sur les dimensions langagière et spatiale qui l’organisent. Le troisième et dernier chapitre de la thèse est plus théorique. Il est centré sur la valeur des objets anciens et l’élaboration de leurs prix. Il est question de mettre au jour une double coordination des échanges afin de dégager le point d’articulation de la structure du marché de l’art ancien organisé par les antiquaires et de la dynamique du Marché en général. / The subject of this study is the circulation process of antique objects and of people in antique shops and galleries in Paris. Chapter 1 is devoted to establishing the notion of non-academic learning of antique dealers from a theoretical perspective by means of a field survey using semi-structured interviews. It emphasizes the peculiar nature of antique dealing, and the bearing that this aspect has had on the field survey. The object is to formulate a theory that explains how antique dealers contribute to the pricing and the « creation » of value of non-homogenous articles, that are exempt from « classic » production costs. Chapter 2 delineates the environment that structures the antique dealer’s life. Its first part analyses the manner in which you start out and orientate yourself in this very independent trade, where division of labour is practically non-existent, leading to the fortunes, reverse of fortunes, and misfortunes connected with prospecting for and authentifying objects. Its second part is a synthesis which reflects the morphology of antique dealing, stressing the linguistic and spatial dimensions inherent to its organization. The 3rd and last chapter is more theoretical. It focuses on the value of antique objects and determining their price. The idea is to bring to light a double coordination of transactions in order to uncover the hinge point between the specific structure of the antiques market as organized by the dealers and the supply and demand dynamics of trade in general.

This dissertation explores conceptions of nationalism in early modern English literature and culture. Specifically, it examines multiple definitions of nation in dramatic works by William Shakespeare (Cymbeline), John Fletcher (Bonduca), Thomas Dekker (The Shoemaker's Holiday), and Robert Daborne (A Christian Turned Turk) as well as in antiquarian studies of England by William Camden (Britannia and Remains Concerning Britain) and Richard Verstegan (Restitution of Decayed Intelligence). This dissertation argues that early modern English nationalism is a dynamic phenomenon that extends beyond literary and historical genres typically associated with questions of national identity, such as history plays, legal tracts, and chronicle histories. Nationalism, this dissertation demonstrates, appears in Roman-Britain romances and tragedies, city comedies, and both dramatic and prose accounts of piracy. Nation appears in myriad voices - from ancient British queens to shoemakers and pirates. And the nationalisms they articulate are as varied as the genres in which they appear as nation is negotiated both across and within these works. Furthermore, this dissertation illustrates that not only are concepts of nation and national identity being explored, the very terms on which to construct nation are being defined and re-defined. Nation is variously filtered through a myriad of issues including the influence of the monarch (particularly James I), origin, language, gender, class, ethnicity, religion and national rivals. This dissertation also discusses works which move us beyond our pre-conceived notions about nation by advocating more corporate cosmopolitan models. The models are based on such qualities as membership, occupation, productivity and the pursuit of wealth rather than birth order or location. These corporate and piratical nationalisms extend beyond the confining geopolitical borders of most concepts of nation. Early modern English nationalism is not singularly defined by the monarch, the church, the legal system, or even antiquarian studies of Britain and England. It is not singularly defined by any one voice or text.

Kulturvärden i detaljplaner är en fallstudie som undersöker antikvariska förundersökningar framtagna till planprocessen. Huvudtemat som uppsatsen undersöker är hur metoder för identifierandet av kulturvärden påverkar den antikvariska förundersökningen. Slutsatsen visar att det ofta är svårt att läsa ut om en metod har använts eller inte då den inte alltid presenteras i förundersökningen. Vidare har uppsatsen åskådliggjort att antikvarien som tar fram planeringsunderlaget – i denna fallstudie – inte tydligt hävdar kulturvärdet mot andra intressen i planprocessen. Samtidigt finns inga krav idag på att ett sådant ställningstagande ska ske. / Cultural values in Detailed Development plans is a case study that examines antiquarian preliminary studies developed for the planning process. The main theme that the essay examines was how methods for identifying cultural values affect the antiquarian preliminary study. The conclusion shows that it is often difficult to read whether a method has been used or not as it is not always clearly presented in the preliminary study. Furthermore, the thesis has shown that the antiquarian who produces the planning data - in this case study - does not fully assert the cultural value against other interests in the planning process. At the same time, there are no requirements today for such a position to be taken.

This study explores the heritagisation of war trophies in early modern Sweden. The ways in which contemporary artefacts have been historicised and charged with new meanings through specific practices are analysed. These practices form part of a process enacted by a network of human agents and objects constituting an early example of heritagisation. The empirical material comprises selected objects in the collection of the Swedish Army Museum, archive documents and printed royal decrees and resolutions. By examining objects as well as contemporary texts on the collecting and the display of the trophies, a process that has influenced collection management in museums of today is recorded and analysed. The study adheres to the interdisciplinary field of Critical Heritage Studies and proposes that a critical approach to the production of heritage might be applied also to early modern times.   Sökord: War trophies, collections, antiquarian practices, cultural heritage

Ljus har möjligheten att förstärka, levandegöra och skapa karaktär på en plats. I ett flertal studier har det visats att ljus påverkar hur människan upplever känslor och atmosfär i både interiöra och exteriöra sammanhang. Utöver denna möjlighet som ljuset erbjuder riskerar byggnader och platser att bli överbelysta och förvrängda i sitt uttryck med dåligt planerad ljussättning. I miljöer med historiskt värde blir belysningsfrågan mer komplex på grund av avvägningen mellan att vårda de historiska värdena och att tillgodose dagens funktionella krav. Nya byggnadsverk planeras och byggs tätt anslutande till miljöer med kulturhistoriska värden och problematiken förstärks av att det i nuläget inte finns några lagar, standarder eller riktlinjer för belysning i sådana miljöer. I studien som genomförts undersöktes ljusdesigners och antikvariers perspektiv på belysning i moderna stadsområden och kulturmiljöer. Fallstudien utfördes genom observationer av Tändsticksområdet i Jönköping kombinerat med intervjuer. Intervjupersoner med ämneskunskap eller yrkeskategorier som ansetts vara relevanta till ämnet rekryterades. Observationer utfördes på plats av författarna för att skapa förståelse över områdets uppbyggnad och dess belysning. Rapporten presenterar resultaten av observationerna i Tändsticksområdet och intervjuerna. Observationerna utfördes enligt Percifal, Serial Vision samt Lynch stadsbildsanalys. Den generella upplevelsen av området ändrades dag- och kvällstid. Belysningsprinciperna och ljussättningen skiljde sig åt mellan områdena och en tydlig, fysisk gräns kunde identifieras i ljuset. Resultatet av intervjuerna gav en förståelse kring belysning från ett antikvariskt perspektiv. Ljussättning diskuteras inte aktivt av antikvarier men en medvetenhet kring ljusets effekter finns om frågan lyfts av externa parter. Historiserande formspråk på armaturer som harmonierar med den tänkta miljön kan rekommen-deras framför en exakt korrekt historisk armatur. Det framkom i intervjuerna att samverkan mellan ljusdesigners och antikvarier är önskvärt men inget som är frekvent återkommande i respektives dagliga arbete. Studien har begränsats av tidsramen och resultatens generaliserbarhet och tillämplighet diskuteras i rapporten. Semistrukturerade intervjuer gav möjlighet till fördjupning i vissa ämnen medan observationerna utfördes med hjälp av beprövade metoder. Författarna anser att fler studier behöver utföras i områden med kulturhistoriska värden kopplat till belysning för att bättre förstå hur ljus påverkar kulturmiljöer. / Light has the ability to enhance and create character in a place. In several studies, it has been shown that light affects how people experience emotions and atmosphere in both interior and exterior contexts. In addition to this opportunity that light offers, buildings and places run the risk of being overexposed and distorted in their expression with poorly planned lighting. In environments with historical value, lighting becomes more complex due to the tradeoff between preserving the historical values and meeting today's functional requirements. New buildings are planned and built closely connected to environments with cultural and historical values and the problem is reinforced by the fact that there are currently no laws, standards, or guidelines for lighting in such environments. In the present study, lighting designers' and antiquarian's perspectives on lighting in modern urban areas and cultural environments were investigated. The case study was carried out through observations of Tändsticksområdet in Jönköping combined with interviews. Interviewees with subject knowledge or professional categories considered to be relevant to the study were recruited. Observations were carried out on site by the authors to create an understanding of the area's structure and its lighting. The report presents the results of the observations in Tändsticksområdet and the interviews. The observations were carried out according to Percifal, Serial Vision and Lynch cityscape analysis. The general experience of the area changed during the day and evening. The lighting principles and lighting differed between the areas and a clear, physical boundary could be identified in the light. The results of the interviews provided an understanding of lighting from an antiquarian perspective. Lighting is not actively discussed by antiquarians, but there is an awareness of the effects of light if the issue is raised by external parties. Historical design language for luminaires that harmonize with the intended environment can be recommended over a precisely correct historic luminaire. It appeared in the interviews that collaboration between lighting designers and antiquarians is desirable, but not something that is frequently recurring in the respective daily work. The study has been limited by the time frame and the generalizability and applicability of the results are discussed in the report. Semistructured interviews provided the opportunity for indepth study of certain topics, while the observations were carried out using proven methods. The authors believe that more studies need to be carried out in areas with cultural historical values linked to lighting to better understand how light affects cultural environments.

The ideas that flourished among a small group of former Uppsala students that became the Göthiska förbundet on February 16, 1811, set in motion a process that changed views on why and how Sweden should manage its historic sites. This process of change achieved its goal with the passing of the new antiquities legislation in 1828. Their archeological research also left its mark. In this area, the brotherhood went much further than they themselves had actually imagined possible when they formulated their description of the ideal state consisting of free, independent farmers, which they believed was the case up until the introduction of Christianity into the Nordic countries. It was this period that they attributed the brotherhood’s virtues that they wished to instill in modern Swedes, and it was this image that would become part of the Swedish cultural heritage. Their archeological research, though, took them even further back in time. Geijer’s history books were admirable, but Magnus Bruzelius went the furthest. Starting with a study of historic sites, he extended the time period about which one could comment at great length, going as far back as to a period that did not even have a name, a period he called the Stone Age. As a result of this, their research demonstrated that the region’s oldest historic sites did not belong to sword-wielding free farmers, but rather to primitive Stone Age savages about whose living conditions Magnus Bruzelius could write because he was able to study their material remains and compare his findings with the commentaries by travelers to primitive peoples from other, more inaccessible parts of the globe. Accordingly, both time and research achieved new heights. / digitalisering@umu

Antiquaire nîmois de la première moitié du XVIIe siècle, Anne de Rulman a laissé un ensemble manuscrits imposants, parmi lesquels figure le Récit des anciens monuments qui paroissent encore dans le département de la première et seconde Gaule Narbonnoise (…). Cet ensemble, daté de 1626, s'articule en quatre volumes qui comprennent les observations de Rulman sur les sites antiques d'une vaste région allant de Toulouse à Nice ou encore un volume de dessins de monuments et fragments essentiellement nîmois et biterrois. À cela s'ajoutent des dessins d'objets antiques conservés dans les grands cabinets de collectionneurs du Sud de la France et un Inventaire particulier (…) des antiquités de Nîmes. Peu connus et reconnus, ces manuscrits représentent une source considérable pour la compréhension de la démarche antiquaire à travers laquelle l'objet du passé a peu à peu acquis le statut de témoignage historique et archéologique, mais aussi d'œuvre d'art. Ils contribuent également à une meilleure connaissance du milieu savant du Sud de la France qui gravitait alors autour de l'emblématique Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc (1580-1637). Cette étude participe ainsi à des questionnements d'envergure qui touchent aussi bien à l'histoire de l'art et du goût, qu'à l'histoire et à l'archéologie. / Nimois antiquariam of the...

<p>This essay focuses upon the Kivik monument and its conservation difficulties, since its discovery at 1748 until modern time. The Kivik monument is found in southeast of Scania, and dated within the Bronze Age period. The perspective of the conservation on the monument has merely been on the monuments inner cist of stone and the rock carvings on the cist-slabs. When the monument was first archaeological examined at 1931, its sizeable cairn (75 m in diameter) had almost vanished and the cist was sheltered by a casing of concrete and metal roof. Between 1932 and 1933 the monument has undergone a large-scale restoration, and this criticized restoration resulted in a low antiquarian value with the responsible authority. With a low antiquarian value, the protection of ancient monuments by national laws is nearly none and the interest by responsible authority is insignificantly. This has lead to substandard preservation of the monument and its surrounding area. By comparing the Kivik monument with the monument Ales stones, who undergone equal restorations, I discovered that Ales stones is still considered an intact ancient monument with a high antiquarian value with the responsible authority and therefore in a good state of preservation. This is probably a result of that the restorations of the Kivik monument contain none authentic material as concrete and its museological construction, which Ales stones is not and therefore perceived as a genuine ancient monument.</p>
