1	Att mura in det förflutna i Herrens hus : Återbruk av runstenar och tidigkristna gravmonument i medeltida kyrkobyggnader i Östergötland / To build the past into the house of the Lord : The re-use of runestones and early Christian grave monuments in medieval church buildings in Östergötland Ohlsson, Rasmus January 2021 (has links) In this study the medieval re-use of early Christian grave monuments and runestones in church buildings in the Swedish region of Östergötland is analysed in relation to contemporary church imagery and practices. Analysis of the practice show differences in application, especially during the early parts of the medieval period, which suggests differences in meaning. Although no single reason can explain the practice, the re-use of the monuments during the early medieval period is, in several cases, understood as different ways for the local elite to increase their social standing and for the Church to legitimise their new role as centre for social gatherings. During the later parts of the period the practice seems to be more standardised and may have become a local variation of the Church´s broader practice to re-use spolia.

2	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
