1	När autenticiteten utmanas : En föremålsundersökning och dess tänkbara konsekvenser för museiobjektet / When authenticity is challenged : Potential consequences of a close examination of a museum object Backman, Anna January 2010 (has links) <p>This paper deals with an object donated by a group of members of the public to the Royal Armoury in Stockholm, Sweden. The donators claimed to own a horse bit that had been used by King Gustav II Adolf's mount in the battle of Lützen, where the King was killed. The bit was a gift to the donators' ancestor, the farmer and politician Petter Jönsson, from the King of Sweden, Oscar I, in the 1850's. In this paper, the donated bit is examined and found unlikely to be the bit used at Lützen. The examination also revealed that the bit now worn by the horse in its display is a prop, included in the group of objects in the 19<sup>th</sup> century, and that the original bit probably was lost in a fire in 1648. The examination also raises questions on why this bit was considered a valuable gift, what consequences the gift transaction of the bit had for giver and reviever. It ends with a discussion about the donated bit and the bit in the display, and their roles at the museum in the future.</p> Museology relics giftgiving authenticity monuments biography of objects Museologi reliker gåvor autenticitet kungaminnen föremålsbiografi History and philosophy subjects Historisk-filosofiska ämnen

3	Ett författarskap i akademins gränsland : Stallmästare Johan Leven Ekelunds efterlämnade manuskript Backman, Anna January 2015 (has links) Uppsala University Library owns eight volumes of manuscripts attributed to the academy equerry Johan Leven Ekelund (c.1701−1775). In this thesis, I apply methods from the field of material culture studies in order to establish which of the volumes that formed the donation from Leven to the library mentioned in his will. By mapping certain markers such as places, names and dates I am able to identify to some extent where Leven gained his practical skills and which writers influenced him. By analysing the texts, I draw the conclusion that the manuscripts can be divided into groups aimed for different audiences. Some of them fit in an utilitarian context, some of them aim to give riding and horsemanship scientific legitimacy. Some are aimed for a narrow circle of peers, connaisseurs of the art of riding. By examining Leven’s networks, I seek to shed light on whether he wrote in order to further his career. My conclusion is that in that case, Leven’s main focus was probably to help his son, who had a remarkably successful career as a physician after the death of his father. / <p>Orcid nr: 0000-0002-8791-4109</p> Equestrian history riding manuals manuscripts object research material culture studies network studies giftgiving Hippologisk kulturhistoria veterinärmedicinhistoria handskrifter föremålsundersökning materiell kultur nätverksstudier General Literature Studies Litteraturvetenskap
