21	Moody Men and Malicious Maidens : Gender in the Swedish medieval ballad Ryd, Elisabet January 2017 (has links) Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att granska hur genus och genusrelationer uttrycks i svenska, medeltida ballader. Genom att förstå balladkaraktärernas handlingar som performativa, ämnar uppsatsen undersöka hur maskulinitet och femininitet etableras och omförhandlas i balladernas narrativ genom att kartlägga handlingsmönster. Av betydelse är att belysa hur karaktärernas handlingsmöjligheter påverkas av faktorer såsom kön, social status och familjerelationer, men även jämföra hur genusmönster i balladen reflekterar eller utmanar normer och ideal i det senmedeltida samhället. Uppsatsen åskådliggör hur män och kvinnor har möjlighet att utöva och förhandla om makt på olika sätt. Genom detta rör man sig bort från uppfattningen om passivitet och maktlöshet som analogt med femininitet, och aktivitet och makt som synonymt med maskulinitet. Resultaten uppvisar därmed en problematisering och nyansering av genusuttryck i medeltida ballader som saknas i tidigare forskning, och framhäver fördelarna att bedriva ett mer inkluderande synsätt gentemot den här typen av källmaterial inom historievetenskapen.

22	Undangömda gåvor? : En genusteoretisk undersökning av skattdepåer och sociala praktiker under vikingatid på Gotland / Hidden gifts? : A gender theoretical study of treasure hoards and social practices during the Viking age on Gotland Andersson, Isabelle January 2020 (has links) This paper presents an interpretation of an archaeological problem where Viking age treasure hoards on Gotland are discussed in relation to the provision of the morning gift in the medieval Guta law. There are around 700 treasure hoards found on Gotland and many of them contains what can be interpreted as female coded jewelry. In this essay Gender theory and the theory of performativity is used as a method to analyze treasure hoards with female coded jewelry and its purpose is to investigate jewelry in relation to gender. This study will take a closer look on eleven treasure hoards which have been selected based on jewelry identified as typically female. This might indicate that women were the ones who deposited their jewelry in the ground. The Guta law narrates women's political and social situation in the medieval society and it is possible that it can tell us about some social practices in the Viking society. This law is a great source to recount women’s rights and obligations when it comes to marriage and heritage. The law contains a provision about hogsl oc iþ which is interpreted to be the morning gift. The morning gift intended that a husband was to give his new wife a gift in relation to their marriage. The law stated that a woman had the right to her morning gift which could suggest that women could control this property and have ownership over it. This study investigates what the mentioned medieval law dictated in regard to what a morning gift should constitute of and if this have any connection to what can be found in Viking age treasure hoards. This study is performed by analyzing treasure hoards with jewelry identified as typically female, as well as analyzing the Guta Law which allow one interpretation of why there are so many deposited treasures on Gotland. The interpretation which is presented in this study is that women had ownership of their morning gift and they could have deposited it in the ground to protect themselves and their property.

23	Medeltidsborgen Aranäs : När ting och text samverkar / The medieval fortress Aranæs : When things and texts interact Riert, Johanna Lee January 2021 (has links) This study examines how the archaeological finds from the medieval fortress Aranæs in Västergötland can confirm, change, add to, or contradict written sources regarding Aranæs and medieval fortresses in general. The study will focus on comparing medieval archaeological finds from Aranæs with written sources concerning medieval fortresses and Aranæs in order to find similarities or differences in the materials. The purpose of this essay is primarily to find out how archaeological finds can be linked to written sources to confirm potential events that may have taken place at Aranæs. This study also focuses on the role of archaeology in relation to written sources in order to study the everyday lives of our previous generations at medieval fortresses through the field of Medieval Archaeology. The primary historical written sources regarding Aranæs are the chronicle of Duke Erik and History of the Nordic peoples by Olaus Magnus which will be compared to three available archaeological reports concerning Aranæs. The various finds from Aranæs can together with written sources contribute with knowledge regarding a potential fire, military functions, care of animals, diet, religion, trade and economy, as well as remains of a previous fortress on the site.

Samtliga av dessa individer uppvisar tydliga indikationer på att de har fallit offer för våldshandlingar av skarpt slag, varav två av dem avrättade. Syftet med studien är att undersöka skadornas natur och orsak, samt att fastställa tidpunkten för dessa händelser och deras motiv. Vidare ägnas uppmärksamhet åt de begravningspraktiker som dessa individer har undergått, och hur dessa kan bidra till vår förståelse av deras identitet. Slutligen diskuteras de avrättades straff i relation till de rättsliga normer som var rådande under medeltiden i Sverige. / This study examines four individuals originating from St. Hans Medieval Church in Visby, Gotland. All individuals exhibit clear indications of having fallen victim to acts of sharp force trauma, two of whom were executed. The purpose of this study is to investigate the nature and cause of these injuries, as well as to determine the timing and motives behind these events. Furthermore, attention is devoted to the burial rituals these individuals have undergone and how they can contribute to our understanding of their identity. Finally, the punishments inflicted upon the executed individuals are discussed in relation to the legal norms during the medieval period in Sweden.

25	La Gerusalemme di San Vivaldo : Visualiseringar av Jerusalem i en vallfartsort i det tidiga 1500-talets Toscana Romatowski, Martin January 2022 (has links) In early-sixteenth-century Tuscany, the small countryside convent of San Vivaldo was transformed into a new Jerusalem. A large number of chapels, decorated with sculptures, frescoes and reliefs, were erected under the supervision of the Franciscan order and in accordance with the Holy City’s topography. This thesis primarily examines the visual means by which the illusion of Jerusalem was constructed and what version of the Holy City that was offered to the San Vivaldo pilgrims. This is done through an analysis of the Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre and the Chapel of Calvary. In addition, possible connections between Franciscan meditation texts and the chapel complex’s art and architecture are explored. The scientific perspectives used are theories on visual culture as a vehicle for creating inner images; substitution; the interplay between memory, meditation and space; and pilgrimage as a liminoid experience. The results show that the San Vivaldo Franciscans strived to place the beholders in the depicted biblical stories by multimedial, affect-stimulating and interactive means. This strategy can be linked to the order’s meditation techniques, which also sought to bring the Christocentric narratives to life. In addition, the idiosyncratic shapes of the Jerusalem tomb and other significant architectural elements were recreated, which may have relocated the visitors mentally to the Holy City and, by extension, the proximity of Jesus. The Jerusalem that was built in San Vivaldo was neither one-sidedly biblical nor early modern. Instead, the site’s visual culture created several temporal and spatial layers that acted simultaneously and side by side.

26	Djuren i kvarteret Gruvan 3, Jönköping : En studie av ett djurbensmaterial med datering från 1000-1600 v.t. / The animals in the quarter of Gruvan 3 in Jönköping : A study of an animalosteological material from AD 1000–1600 Ekström, Mattias January 2023 (has links) Uppsatsen utgår ifrån en analys av 20 kilo animalosteologiskt material från kvarteret Gruvan 3 i Jönköping, vilket har daterats till medel- och stormaktstid (1000–1600 e.Kr.). Syftet har varit att undersöka förändringar i djurhållning och eventuella aktiviteter (kopplade till djurbenshantering), som ägt rum på platsen. Under analysarbetet har art och benelement bedömts. Osteologiska metoder för ålder, kön och mankhöjd har tillämpats i den mån detta varit möjligt på slaktdjuren i materialet, det vill säga nötkreatur (Bos taurus), får/get (Ovis aries/Capra hircus) och svin (Sus domesticus). Studien har visat att det förekommer vissa skillnader i artfördelning mellan slaktdjuren under periodens olika faser. Nöt har dock varit mest frekvent förekommande följt av får/get och gris. Resultatet av den osteologiska analysen har uppvisat stora likheter med andra tidigare undersökta medeltida stadsmaterial, när det gäller ålder, kön och mankhöjd hos djuren. Materialet från senare halvan av den undersökta tidsperioden har innehållit en större mängd bearbetade benfragment, vilka tolkats vara hantverksspill. / This paper is based on a study of 20 kilo animal bones, which were recovered from an excavation in 1994 in the quarter of Gruvan 3, Jönköping. The purpose of this essay was to investigate changes in animal husbandry and activity, related to animal bones, at the site during the period from AD 1000–1600. Osteological methods have been used to determine age, gender and height of the most common domestic animals, which are cattle (Bos taurus), sheep/goat (Ovis aries/Capra hircus) and pig (Sus domesticus). Some differences have been seen in the distribution of the domestic animals in the material from different time periods. Cattle has been the most common animal followed by sheep/goat and pig. The osteological material has also shown similarities with other materials from medieval Swedish towns based on the age, gender and height of cattle, sheep/goat and pig. The material from the later part of the investigated period has contained an increasing amount of bone fragments from crafting.

27	Rekonstruktion av Ör kyrkas tidigmedeltida takkonstruktion / Reconstruction of Ör church early medieval roof structure Lorentsson, Jimmy, Forssgren, David January 2022 (has links) During an inventory of Ör church’s roof structure in 2021, it was discovered that the roofstructure above the church’s nave contains a large amount of reused structural parts froman earlier roof structure. The reused structural parts are most likely originated from Örchurch’s early medieval roof structure.This thesis is an attempt to reconstruct the early medieval roof structure with the use of3D-laser scanning. The goal is to present a possible shape and 3D-model of the earlymedieval roof structure. The existing roof structure will also be documented. One aim ofthe thesis is to develop and evaluate the method of using 3D-laser scanning for thispurpose.The reconstruction resulted in eight different shapes and 3D-models of the early medievalroof structure. The documentation of the existing roof structure above the nave resulted inupdated section, plan and detailed drawings.The method of using 3D-laser scanning gave a detailed point cloud of the existing roofstructure. The point cloud had low density points in certain parts of the roof structurewhich is a consequence from the implementation of the 3D laser scanning. For thismethod a field study and planning in advance is recommended for best possible result. medieval roof structures cultural heritage 3D laser scanning reconstruction örs church 3D modelling medeltida takkonstruktioner kulturarv 3D-laserskanning rekonstruktion örs kyrka 3D-modellering Other Civil Engineering Annan samhällsbyggnadsteknik
28	Secondary Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy in Medieval Gotland : Differential Diagnosis and Health Assessment / Sekundär hypertrofisk osteoartropati i medeltida Gotland : Differentialdiagnos och hälsobedömning Rydén, Viking January 2024 (has links) Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a relatively rare condition seldom diagnosed in osteoarchaeological material. In this study a skeletal material (individual 03) showing bilateral symmetric periosteal new bone formation (PNBF) was examined. Through differential diagnosis, individual 03 was considered likely to suffer from secondary HOA. The medieval urban environment that should have been contemporary with individual 03, likely permitted the spread of disease. This, together with PNBF in the ribs is thought to be indicative of underlying pulmonary disease causing the HOA. With the help of Twaddle’s theory of health and illness, individual 03 was determined to be considered ill in the last period of their life. Likely affecting their physical ability, possibly making them dependant on the care of others. When considered together with the osteological paradox, the periosteal reactions also suggests that the HOA was a complication of a chronic underlying condition. / Hypertrofisk osteoartropati (HOA) är ett relativt sällsynt tillstånd sällan diagnostiserat i det osteoarkeologiska materialet. I denna studie undersöks ett skelettmaterial benämnt individ 03 (individual03) som har bilateral symmetrisk bennybildning (PNBF). Genom differentialdiagnos bedömdesindivid 03 troligen lida av sekundär HOA. Den medeltida urbana miljö som lär ha varit samtida med individ 03, tillät troligen spridningen av sjukdomar. Detta tillsammans med PNBF på revbenen tros indikera underliggande lungsjukdom som orsak till HOA i individ 03. Med hjälp av Twaddles teori om hälsa och sjukdom blev individ 03 bedömd att bli betraktad som sjuk under den sista perioden i livet. Någonting som sannolikt påverkade fysisk förmåga, och som möjligtvis medförde beroende av vård från andra. Sedda utifrån den osteologiska paradoxen, indikerar de periostala reaktionerna att HOA i detta fall var ett resultat av en kronisk underliggande sjukdom.

29	Text utan kontext : en granskning av kyrkobeskrivningar utifrån forskning om antijudiska motiv i svenska kyrkobyggnader Norrby, Malin January 2020 (has links) This study has a threefold aim: to make a theological contextualisation of four medieval anti-Jewish motifs in Christian iconography represented in churches in Sweden and to study how these motifs has been described and contextualised in guidebooks and other material written for the interested public from post-war to recent years. The study also explores the role of heritagisation and musealisation of the church buildings in relation to how the motifs are described in the material. There is also an underlying, constructive aim: to suggest how The Church of Sweden can work with these motifs in theological reflection and historical presentations to the public concerning this part of the cultural heritage. The motifs analysed are The Judensau, Ecclesia and Synagoga, Cain and a motif illustrating a medieval legend about the funeral of the Virgin Mary. They were all painted in Swedish churches in a time when there were no Jewish settlements in the area. The study argues that the iconography can be interpreted as an expression of othering and that the four motifs can all be theologically contextualised by using Jesper Svartvik’s threefold typology of Christian anti-Jewish discourse. The study further shows that very few of the texts in the guidebooks and other books in the material describes the motifs and contextualises them theologically. The study suggests that this can be related to the more than hundred years old heritagisation- and musealisation process in The Church of Sweden which has created a twofold and split role of the church as both manager of the religious mission and of the cultural heritage. It has not been the primary aim of the church to theologically contextualise the cultural heritage. New questions concerning the motifs arise in today’s multicultural and multireligious society. The study suggests that the church can approach the part of the cultural heritage which today is seen as problematic from David Lowenthal’s concept of an informed acceptance and tolerance of the past in order to be able to take responsibility for the future in dialogue with others.

30	De medeltida målningarna i Arbrå kyrka : en typologisk tolkning Nylander, Anna January 2010 (has links) <p>The aim of this essay is to investigate the murals in the church of Arbrå, what they portrait and how they can be linked to medieval typology as described in <em>Biblia Pauperum </em>(BP), the Poor Man’s Bible. The aim is also to find out what the purpose was to paint medieval churches and what the function of the paintings was. Arbrå Church was painted around 1520-1530, and almost all of the motifs from the Old Testament can be directly traced back to BP as can one motif from the New Testament. Together these paintings represent most of the important events which make out the foundation of the Christian Cult. The purpose of painting churches was probably a combination of at least three; People of wealth could pay for different things for their church as a tribute to God, the paintings made people feel closer to God as they became enclosed in the biblical history and the paintings served an educative purpose as people could more easily remember what the priests preached.</p> Arbrå church biblia pauperum medieval christian art medieval typology murals Arbrå kyrka muralmålningar kyrkomålningar kyrkokonst medeltiden medeltida konst HUMANITIES and RELIGION HUMANIORA och RELIGIONSVETENSKAP Religion/Theology Religionsvetenskap/Teologi Church history Kyrkohistoria Art Konstvetenskap
