    Världsarvets betydelse: En studie av Hansestaden Visbys förvaltningsstruktur och fysiska planering2022Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis aims to give light to what happens after UNESCO has named an object as a World Heritage site.Through looking at if and how strategies for conservation and development have changed since 1989 until today. Focus of this thesis have been the Hanseatic Town of Visby, and the national and local laws and documentsthat control conservation and development. Through the theoretical lenses of postmodern and collaborativeplanning, together with urban marketing theory - the global city. Results have been made through analysing the heritage work that UNESCO have made during the nomination and inscription process to the World Heritage List, together with looking at the local county administrative boardand municipality’s documentation and spatial planning of the property. Both parts give a look in to and an understandingof how marketing a town changes the narrative of heritage. For Visby this is made apparent during the nomination process. The application to UNESCO 1994, states the historic development of Visby with differenttimes represented, this have then been deleted throughout the process, until the end when only the Hanseaticimpact is seen as important for the properties outstanding universal value. The results have also shown that Visby now is in a state of segregation with high house prices and few residentsinside the city wall. But if this is in correlation with the inscription to the World Heritage List, could not be clearly analysed.

    Fulheten i Patricia Piccininis posthumanistiska verk2021Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This paper is about the artist Patricia Piccinini and the subject of perception of ugliness in art through time. I wanted to comparehow The perception about ugly subjects in art has changed over time from classical art to the posthuman category where Piccinini is active.

    There was no research about Piccinini that I could find, but I could work on the perspective from the posthuman and historical points as well as some interwievs and exhibition facts about Piccinini.

    The metod I am using in this paper is Panofskys iconografical analasys method. With this method I am allowed to analyse multiple works by Piccinini and compare them to each other and answer the question about ugliness. I also have the opportunity to analyse the works by themselves in depth to see in wich way they are ugly, in wich time period of future they can be in and so forth. 

    The works I am analysing in this paper are The couple, Teenage Metamorphosis and James (Sitting). The works appar to be in different stages of future and I analyse them I what I believe is in chronological order. 

    My conclusion is that the human reactions upon the unknown and the ugly is the same even if the ugly is a part of the nature or humanmade. But the perception of what can be seen as ugly or not has changed in The sense that we are more tolerable against The things that can be seen as horrific.

    Monument, minne, museum: Stockholms slott under det långa 1900-talet2021Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This study examines how the Royal Palace of Stockholm gradually, from 1880–2000, became established as a monument in art and cultural history, as well as a site of national heritage. The musealisation process of the royal residence is described by analysing the origin of new museal and exhibition milieus, and changes in the palace’s State and Bernadotte Apartments. These measures were taken to enhance and manage this cultural heritage and to make it accessible by using art historical and antiquarian expertise. The thesis discusses the origins of the Palace Museum (1936), Gustav III’s Museum of Antiquities (1958, 1992), the Treasury (1970), the Royal Armoury (1978) and the Tre Kronor Museum (1999). Two periods of consolidation are discernible. First, the façade restoration of 1898–1902, during the reign of king Oskar II, and the completion of the sculpture programme make manifest the late 19th- century positioning of the Tessin palace as a national heritage site. With the appointment of the art historian John Böttiger as Surveyor of the Royal Collections, the king’s commitment to the royal collections led to both object-based scientific research and new conservation practices. Second, collection and exhibition activities evolved during the reign of king Gustaf VI Adolf, 1950–1973, with pronounced educational ambitions and democratic characteristics. The study illuminates the contributions of the palace architects, the role of the Office of the Governor of the Royal Palace and the relationship with the state-run Nationalmuseum and Royal Armoury, which have contributed to continuity in the presentation of historic collections. The thesis demonstrates the importance of art history writing for museal and restoration practices, particularly Stockholms slotts historia 1–3 (1940–1941), a publication decisive in the restoration work in the State and Bernadotte Apartments from the 1940s until the 1970s. The study examines the palace’s dual function as a national monument and royal residence, and how this has been a condition of the musealisation process. Important analytical concepts in the study are musealisation, institutionalisation, professionalisation and scientisation.

    More Than Meets the Eye. "Castles and Manor Houses in Sweden" Revisited2016In: Konsthistorisk Tidskrift, ISSN 0023-3609, E-ISSN 1651-2294, Vol. 85, no 1, p. 97-108Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The landmark book series Slott och herresaten i Sverige (transl. Castles and Manor Houses in Sweden), published in 1966-1971 by Allhems forlag, is still today considered the most important art historical reference work on Swedish manor buildings and country houses. The 18 volumes seem to present a near complete picture of the nation's rich heritage of manor buildings, combining the comprehensive and topographically organized guide book with the thoroughness of the architectural monograph. This paper will address the more problematic aspects of the book series, its critical role in the writing of a Swedish architectural history and in shaping a national country house narrative. While each volume provides an authoritative and concise overview of the history, ownership and stylistic development of the most significant manor buildings in the province - their architecture, interiors, gardens and collections - the presentation with its general descriptions, formal analysis and neutral tone omits a more in-depth analysis of these complex environments as well as underlying social, political and economic aspects. The descriptions have, in a sense, been working against the depth of historical understanding and the identification of more complex networks. As a consequence, the Swedish manor house is presented as a continuous and self-contained "treasure house", with the critical perspectives and broader European context very seldom present in the characterizations.

    Diadem och identitet: En studie kring identiteter i kejsarinnan Josephines pärl- och kamédiadem2020Student paper second term, 5 credits / 7,5 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This paper, on the identities shown in one of the cameos in Empress Josephine’s pearl and cameo diadem, has first of all focused on the mythological characters, and thereafter raised the question if these are to be seen as an allegory for people from the time. The process of identi-fication has followed the three levels in Panofsky’s method for analysing art, where the first and second levels consist of already known material from the Bernadotte Library, Royal Palace in Stockholm and the jeweller house of Chaumet (former Nitot et Fils) in Paris.                     

    To decipher both the mythological individuals and the possible allegories, that is the third level, the iconology itself, the thoughts and methods of  Göran Hermerén on the rise and fall of allegories along with Leora Auslander’s solutions using visuals comparisons, when no written material is available, have provided the academic framework for the study.                               

    When comparing the cameo with pieces of art from the time, the subject fits the description of the Roman mythology’s love goddess Venus and her son Cupid, the lovechild fathered by Mars. Moving on to allegories, well-known material shows that Emperor Napoleon was keen to be portrayed as the god of war Mars and Empress Josephine as Venus.  A portrait of special interest to the study, a rather private painting by Parent from 1807, which is probably still unknown to most people, shows how Josephine is depicted with a recently deceased grandchild, a young boy how was also the nephew of Napoleon’s, a close relative to them both, and in the line of  succession to the throne, while Napoleon still was Emperor. This picture has an expression which is close to the one of Venus and Cupid, and it is also made to look like a cameo. These portraits were known at the time when Napoleon gave the diadem to Josephine in 1809.                                                      

    Among portraits from the Napoleonic era, there has earlier only been one known painting, even if in two examples, where the diadem is shown. It is a miniature of Empress Josephine, a work from her final period at Malmaison, 1814. However, another miniature picturing the daughter Hortense in the very same piece of jewellery, from 1812, has now become known. In both these examples, the depicted cameo has a hight measuring only millimetres, why a discussion on the execution and the rendering has to be done with restraint. But in the daughter´s portrait there is a certain attempt to show the outlines of the central cameo that differs from the later painting of the Empress. This may be an indication of how much more important it was for the daughter to relay the picture of her mother and the memory of her son, in 1812, than it was for Josephine in 1814, after the divorce, probably after the fall of Napoleon too, when she was no longer his Venus, and there was no longer a throne for any of her grandsons to inherit.        

    Therefore, in short, the chosen methods give the answer that the mythology depicted is a scene of Venus and her son Cupid, and the allegorical interpretation of Venus is the Empress herself. The child in shape of Cupid here, may well be read as one of her daughter’s sons, at the time a much longed-for heir to the throne of Napoleon I.

    Ett diadem och dess ikonografi: En studie av kejsarinnan Josephines pärl- och kamédiadem i porträtt mellan 1812 och 20102021Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The main purpose of this study of a pearl and cameo diadem, given by Napoleon to his first wife Josephine in 1809, is to follow its representation in portraiture from Paris in 1812 to Stockholm in 2010, and explore how the iconography develops during these 200 years. From the earlier years, the diadem is found only in miniatures, then after coming to the new royal family in Sweden, the Bernadottes, it is given a role of an heirloom representing history and families in grand paintings, arriving to the present well-known wedding hairpiece, covered by modern media, where the diadem is more of a crown than the open, forehead-covering piece of fashion jewellery it was during the Napoleonic era in France. The portraits from 1812, 1814, 1836, 1837, 1877, 1976, 2000/2003 and 2010 also portray a development of the female role model of its time. Just like the hair piece attains an iconography which comprises not only the highest dress codes but also a possibility of status transformation for the people involved in ceremony, the role of the country’s First Lady is about to change into a higher, more egalitarian position of present days.

    Kronor, kransar och diadem som rollsymboler i Rubens målningar över Maria de’ Medicis liv2022Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This is a study on crowns, wreaths and diadems as role symbols in Peter Paul Rubens’s 24 paintings for Marie de’Medici in Paris, 1622 – 1625. In these paintings, historic facts are shown with the addition of mythological gods and their symbols giving allegorical scenes, where sometimes also Christian symbols or subjects can be traced. A reader of these painted motifs therefore can choose to see the symbols as regal, Christian or mythological. The crown and the wreaths rarely present a challenge in modern interpretations, but the magnificent diadem does. Rubens chooses this diadem for higher goddesses, and for the queen a couple of times too. For some reason, this symbol is mostly misread in analyses. At this point in history, the crowns and the wreaths have been collected from divine spheres and turned into physical objects on earth used by the high and mighty. The large diadem has not; it is still only a symbol on a goddess. If and when put on a human in a portrait, the symbol gives the lady the abilities and characters of a goddess. Rubens uses his own design when turning this symbol into a physical picture;it is a high, pointed diadem with pearls and coloured gems set in gold. He has used it on goddesses both before and after the Medici commission. Today, we have seen numerous spectacular headpieces like this from late 18th century an onwards, wherefore it is an easy mistake to believe that Rubens copied what he saw instead of, as he actually did, foreboding a coming fashion. In addition to confirming this, I also suggest that it is the highest goddess Juno queen Marie is personifying. Juno is mostly known today as a goddess for women and childbirth. But she had far more masculine tasks in earlier days: she was seen as the saviour of the country and a special counsellor of the state. These two important roles are exactly what Marie de’ Medici took on when acting as regent for her young son, Louis XIII,after the murder of her husband, the late Henry IV. By putting Juno’s diadem on Marie’s head, when sitting on a throne, the divine abilities are manifested according to how a historic period could be transferred to the allegorical language in a painting at the time.

    Illustrerade berättelser: En undersökning av Bim Erikssons tecknade serier2023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This study explores what is characteristic of Bim Eriksson's cartoons in her two published books Det kändes lugnt när mina känslor dog (It felt calm when my feelings died) and Baby Blue. Additionally, it explores the function of her drawing style, the interaction between text and image, as well as the differences between the two works. This has been accomplished through a semiotic and hermeneutic analysis, where the smaller elements of the comics have been divided and interpreted individually and in relation to each other. To gain a deeper understanding of the mixed and changing medium of comics, a background on the comic definition and history of comics has provided the foundation for the analysis and orientation in the subject. 

    Eriksson's cartoons convey a visual emotional representation through stylized drawings both with and without accompanying text. Her comics tell stories filled with emotions through attributes, symbols, and text. Her drawings feature unique and innovative characters that are characteristic of her style. Eriksson's comics progress visually with a limited color palette and stylistic approach. The interaction between text and image differs between the comics, and the sequential storytelling plays a significant role in leading the reader through the story. However, Eriksson's single-panel comics have the ability to tell a type of emotional story. The accompanying text makes it easier for the reader to understand what the sender, in this case Eriksson, wants to convey, but they can also be interpreted without the accompanying text. The illustrated images, therefore, stand better on their own than the text does.

    Landskapets röster: Studier i Elias Martins bildvärld2011Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis is about the Swedish landscape painter Elias Martin (1739-1818). The main interest is in his depictions of nature, landscape images and topographical views. Chronologically, it covers the period 1760 to 1810. The first part puts Martin's artistic achievement in a historiographic perspective and presents an overview of his artistic career - from his birthplace Stockholm to Paris and from there to London, where he successfully established himself on the English art scene in the 1770s. Returning to his native Sweden in 1780, he soon emerged as the country's leading landscapist of the period.

    In the second part of the thesis, a study is presented of Martin's relationship to the art markets of England and Sweden, and in the third an attempt is made, through the medium of a specific genre of Swedish eighteenth-century literature - travel writings - to gain a deeper insight into the attitudes and values of the period. Here, the focus of interest is on different ways of viewing nature and landscape art in Sweden in the late eighteenth century. On the basis of this discussion, an attempt is made to reconstruct a Swedish 'period eye', specific to the upper-class culture of the Gustavian age.

    These discussions of the importance of the market and of a Swedish period eye form the basis for an answer to the overarching question of this thesis, concerning the relationship between Martin's images and contemporary perceptions of nature. From the conclusions drawn, it becomes clear that different ways of relating to landscape existed side by side. The attitudes discernible in the artist's pictures, as in the travel writings of the period, are diverse and contradictory, complicating an understanding of the eighteenth century's view of nature as something uniform. Elias Martin's art thus illuminates the many vantage points and variations in the Gustavian era's feeling for nature.

    Abstract [en]

    Shoreland protection is an important issue in today's urban planning and aims to ensure long-term public access to coastal protection areas while maintaining good living conditions for animals and plants. Shoreland protection was introduced in the 1950s to protect the coasts, and the shoreland protection zone includes both land and water. Shoreland protection  zones generally extend 100 meters inland and 100 meters out into the water from the shoreline, but can be extended to 300 meters. Despite this, an increasing trend of granted exemptions from shoreland protection has been observed. A new report from the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation points out that 93% of the 693 applications for exemption reviewed in 13 exemptions were granted. This has resulted in more than a third of the Swedish coast being exploited, which can negatively affect the natural environment and the conditions for public access to shorelandareas. 

     

    This thesis is conducted in collaboration with the municipality of Upplands-Bro, with the aim of comparing and analyzing building permit documents and shoreland protection exemptions. Methods used to answer the study's research questions and problem formulation consist of interviews, literature studies, and an analysis of building permit applications in shoreland  protected areas in the municipality of Upplands-Bro. 

     

    Factors such as the placement of the operation, the degree of detail in the drawings, and its impact on the water environment have been identified as decisive for whether an application is approved or rejected. However, the study shows that the decision-making process is not entirely predictable and is also influenced by other factors, such as political agendas. 

     

    The results indicate that in order to create a more predictable and fair decision-making process, a strengthening of the current regulations and increased supervision from the County Administrative Board is needed to ensure that the legislation is followed consistently. This study contributes to the ongoing discussion on the application of shoreland protection and provides concrete suggestions on how the process can be improved.

    ”Alone is not strong in these matters”: An analysis of a collaboration platform involving cultural heritage, sustainability and regional development2021Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 30 credits / 45 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Sustainability and cultural heritage are both wide fields affecting people in the past, presence and future, on both local and global levels. Since they affect so many people it is difficult for the individual to make a change, instead working together is key. One way to work together is cooperation but how does one find projects/organisations/etc, to connect and collaborate with? Perhaps by using a form of collaboration platform? LAB190 is a just that, a collaboration platform meaning it is a non-physical tool for actors to use when reaching out to find others to either exchange ideas or trade services with. LAB190 focuses on an area surrounding a 70 km long road (road 190), reaching over four municipalities, Gothenburg, Lerum, Alingsås and Essunga. Involved actors vary from locals, pushing for changes they desire in the area, to officials in charge of possible changes. The goal of LAB190 is to make the territory around road 190 into an model area for sustainable development. To reach that goal three work groups has been created; Food (Green industries), Tourism (hospitality industry) and Infrastructure. The idea with the work-groups is to find projects and/or activities, relating to the field of focus for the work group. For example, the Tourism-group focuses on projects/ activities relating to the development of tourism. After reviewing LAB190 using the pilot-study, development plans and interviewing people involved, a conclusion was made. The physical area of LAB190, the landscape reaching out from road 190, is big and hard to manage single-handedly and therefore a collaboration platform is a usable tool and something that should be considered in future plans regarding the three fields, cultural heritage, sustainability and (regional) development. It is a way to come together, exchange knowledge and face challenges, both now and in the future.

    "Och ljuset lyser i mörkret, och mörkret har icke fått makt därmed": En studie av hesykastiska influenser på Bysans sakrala konst i slutet av 1300- och början av 1400-talet2020Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 30 credits / 45 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This paper examines the influence of Hesychasm as an integral part of Orthodox theology on the art of the Orthodox Church in Byzantium in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. The main research question is how and for what reason the hesychasm doctrine projects its ideas in sacred art. 

    On the example of several sacred images that belong to the school of painting in Constantinople, the iconographic and stylistic features inherent in the art of hesychast are analyzed. 

    As a result of the study, the close connection between the theology of the Hesychast light and Byzantine art of the indicated period is demonstrated. Byzantine masters through emphasizing the role of the uncreated Tabor light in the life of a Christian and using whitewashing strokes and dryness of forms create theology in colors. 

    The source of this theology comes from the patristic tradition of the Orthodox Church, in particular from St. Gregory Palamas, who initiated disputes around the uncreated divine light. 

    The Orthodox icon in this context can be perceived as a kind of manifesto that expresses the faith of the church through artistic sacred images.

    Indoor hygrothermal condition and user satisfaction in naturally ventilated historic houses in temperate humid continental climate around the Baltic Sea2016In: Architectural Science Review, ISSN 0003-8628, E-ISSN 1758-9622, Vol. 59, no 1, p. 53-67Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Indoor climate and user satisfaction were analysed by field measurement and a questionnaire in 67 traditional rural houses in Estonia, Finland and Sweden. Our findings showed that the indoor climate in all the investigated historic rural houses needs improvement. The room temperature was mainly too low during winter. Leaky houses had also a larger vertical temperature difference. The relative humidity in the unheated and periodically heated houses was high during winter and caused risk for mould growth in 17% of all houses and 33% of unheated houses. Significant differences of indoor humidity loads in different houses were revealed depending on the living density and usage profile. During the winter period, the design value of moisture excess was 4-5g/m(3) and the average moisture load was 2-3.5g/m(3). The indoor humidity load in historic houses was similar to that in modern houses. The results of the questionnaire showed that main problems were related to unstable or too low temperatures. At the same time, inhabitants rated the overall indoor climate as healthy and no statistically important relations were found between average indoor temperature and complaints about too cold or too warm indoor temperatures.

    This paper analyses renovation alternatives to improve energy performance of historic rural houses in three countries (Estonia, Finland, Sweden) in the Baltic Sea region (cold climate). The study was conducted by a combination of field measurements and simulations. Indoor climate, typical houses and structures as well as the current condition and need for renovation were determined by field measurements. Based on field measurements, indoor climate and energy simulation models were validated and used to calculate energy use for different renovation measures. Energy renovation packages were calculated for different scenarios (minimal influence on the appearance of the house, improvement of thermal comfort, improvement of building service systems) for different energy saving levels. The analysis showed that the improvement of building service systems and the energy source holds the largest energy saving potential. The building envelope of old rural houses needs improvement also due to high thermal transmittance and air leakage. The insulation of the external wall has the largest single energy saving potential of the building's envelope. The results show how energy savings depend on energy saving targets, typology of the building, thermal transmittance of original structures, and building service systems. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

    Jag går omkring i mitt Pompeji bland ruiner: En uppsats om Pompejis inverkan på nutida konst2014Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Har vi alla ett eget Pompeji att relatera till? Vi omger oss dagligen med metaforer som länkar till Pompejis öde, trots att katastrofen ägde rum för nästan 2000 år sedan. Denna uppsats undersöker hur Pompejikatastrofen tar sig i uttryck i visuell gestaltning, med fokus på skulpturala verk av Gerhard Nordströms, Emma Göranssons och Antony Gormley, och ger en bild av varför Pompeji fortsätter att fascinera idag.

    Scripts of Kingship: Essays on Bernadotte and Dynastic Formation in an Age of Revolution2008Collection (editor) (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    When French Marshal Jean Baptiste Bernadotte was elected heir to the Swedish Throne in 1810, a dramatic dynastic venture commenced. In an age of revolutions, marked by political as well as cultural upheavals, the commoner from Pau was transformed into King Charles XIV John and the head of a new royal dynasty in Sweden and Norway. Although fraught with challenges, the venture proved successful. As restoration set in, and the Napoleonides of Europe fell one after the other, Bernadotte held fast, and today the dynasty is approaching its bicentennial on the throne.

    In nine illustrated essays, the formation of a dynasty is explored as it unfolded in media such as ceremonies, spatial arrangements, opera performances, publicity and panegyrics.

    Dolt under ytan: En studie om vattnets betydelse i samtida offentlig konst2022Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This study investigates how water is depicted in contemporary public art in Sweden, a country surrounded and built by water, and how it reflects in the art. The essay is based on Rosalind Krauss’ sculpture theory and examines how a mythical and vital substance like water is depicted and what its underlaying meaning is in three contemporary public sculptures; Till minnet av en älv (2020) by Anja Örn, Passage (2011) by Katarina Löfström and Hiljainen vesi /Tyst vatten (2019) by Laura Könönen. The study investigates if any mutual patterns can be seen and if so which, and how the relationship between the sculptures and their spatial context can be described based on Rosalyn Deutsches notion assimilative and divisive. Through analyses and comparison of the three sculptures it has emerged that water in all three public artworks stands as a metaphor for something else, here in form of the consequences of hydropower, the impermanence of time and minorities’ feeling of exclusion and community. Over these serious topics lies too a sense of melancholia. A common interest for the nature also appears and mainly because the artists have chosen to depict water even when it symbolizes something else. But the interest in nature also appears when two of the sculptures is made from natural rock and its characteristics. Furthermore, the study indicates that, despite the complexity in defining a public artwork as place-specific or placeless, all three of the sculptures have a connection with the place. The sculptures can therefore perceive as assimilative although to varying degrees and with element of divisive tendencies.

    Sigrid Blomberg och altargruppen i Oskarshamns kyrka: en kvinnas verk2020Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Sigrid Blomberg and the altarpiece in the church of Oskarshamn – a woman’s work of art, is an essay with the aim to describe, analyse and to discuss the gypsum altarpiece in the city church of Oskarshamn and its artist, the Swedish sculptor Sigrid Blomberg.  The essay begins with a brief historical description of the situation for female artists in Sweden at the turn of the 20th century and a comment on the material chosen for the altarpiece – gypsum. This is followed by a short summary of the life of Sigrid Blomberg and two other examples of her work to illustrate and discuss similarities with the altarpiece in the church of Oskarshamn.  This is followed by a description of the church and its interior, as well as the altarpiece’s history, creation process and problems. The essay then focuses on an analysis of the different parts, as well as the whole, of the altarpiece – characters, meanings and interpretations. The essay ends in a discussion of the findings and the author’s conclusions regarding the altarpiece and the artist’s place in the art history. Central in the essay is the apparent lack of female artists in the art canon and the reasons and effect due to this.  The author uses a semiotic method and a feminist theory premiss to find the answers to questions such as: why was a female artist chosen for the assignment; how does the artwork compare to other, equivalent and contemporary artworks; how may the placing of the work have effected the perception of the altarpiece; have the perception changed over time; and finally what’s characteristic for the artist Sigrid Blombergs idiom?

    Isisavbilder i egyptisk och romersk konst: Gudinnans symboliska och estetiska betydelse för de olika kulturerna.2018Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Uppsatsens syfte är att analysera olika egyptiska och romerska konstverk för att avgöra skillnaden mellan de två olika stilarna och avgöra gudinnans symboliska och estetiska syfte.  Den huvudsakliga metoden som har använts är Panofskys ikonografiska analys som är uppdelad i tre steg.  Den ytliga analysen, konstverkets bakgrund och i det sista steget används de två tidigare stegen för att utföra en analys av konstverkets betydelse och syfte. Dessa tre steg kallas även för det pre-ikoniska, det ikonografiska och det ikonologiska steget

     Egyptisk och romersk konst är olika beroende på vilken form de var skapade i. Skulpturer användes i både tempel och hem men de egyptiska skulpturerna skapades av präster vid templen. Romerska skulpturer var oftast större och i tyngre material som marmor vilket tyder på en mer offentlig användning av

    i tempel eller/och av rikare sponsorer som senatorer och kejsare.

     Romerska skulpturer skiljer sig från de egyptiska skulpturerna genom att ha ett estetiskt syfte utöver ett religiöst syfte. De hade inte bara ett mer dekorativt utseende, till skillnad från de strikta egyptiska skulpturerna, utan var också placerade i villor och tempel för estetiskt bruk istället för tillbedjan.

    Isis var sällan huvudpersonen i egyptiska eller romerska målningarna utan var oftast en stödjande karaktär till huvudpersonen. De romerska målningarna fanns i allmänna rum som tempel och hem medan egyptiska målningar, trots att de också fanns i tempel, ofta användes i gravkammaren. De var inte avsedda att betraktas av allmänheten och många forskare argumenterar att de inte kan ses som konstverk på grund av detta. Egyptiska målningar med Isis användes dessutom ofta som propaganda för att förstärka en faraos rykte. Detta var ett syfte som romerska målningar oftast saknade.

    Kleopatra genom tiderna: Visuella avbilder av Kleopatra under renässansen, revolutionernas tid och modern tid.2021Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 30 credits / 45 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Bilden av Kleopatra har förändrats med tiden, från den fanatiska grekiska/romerska avbilderna av hennes död under renässansen till de moderna skildringarna av en stolt drottning som utmanade romerska kejsare. Hon var oftast avbildad under renässansen som underdånig de romerska förebilderna som Augustus och Caesar. En skildring som med stor risk existerade då det mest var italienare som målade drottningen under renässansen.

    Efter renässansen så spred sig bilden av Kleopatra och hennes bild fångade västvärldens fantasi till att skapa en mani för Egypten och dess drottning. Med det kom ny kunskap från orientalister och detta kom att påverka hur man såg på den egyptiska drottningen. Hon blev mäktigare, mer sensuell men också mer sexuell och farlig. Hon var någon man skulle beundra och erövra. 

    När vi stiger in i den moderna eran så börjar hennes bild att ifrågasättas av feminister. Filmer börjar skildra henne I ett nytt ljus och när ett nytt årtusende sätter in så har Cleopatra gått från en översexualiserad kvinna till en stolt drottning som utmanade män under hennes tid och inspirerar konstnärer även idag. Med hjälp av symboler och analyser av scenerna som visas så kommer tre lika tidsperioder att studeras för att kartlägga hur bilden av Kleopatra förändrades och varför. De teorier som spelar störst roll i uppsatsen är orientalism och feminism då de spelade en stor roll i hur denna orientaliska drottning kom att skildras.

    Gränslösa drömmar: En muralmålnings uppkomst2023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The essay is about how municipalities work with public art in order to live up to the cultural policy goals adopted by the government in Politik för gestaltad livsmiljö. The purpose is to analyze the process for a public artwork, based on the perspective of the municipality and the artist, and to discuss the relationship between the artwork and the place. The artwork that was selected is Gränslösa drömmar, a mural that was inaugurated in the summer of 2021. With Eskilstuna municipality as an example, I hope that the essay can provide inspiration and knowledge about the process both to citizens and other municipalities. 

    By using phenomenological site analysis and semiotic image analysis, the relationship between the work of art and the site is investigated. Interviews with different actors within the project are used to discuss how the different actors describe the process and a comparison between Eskilstuna municipality's process and the state's methodological support Offentlig konst – handbok för statliga beställare is made to put Eskilstuna municipality in a national context. 

    The result shows that the artwork contributes to the character of the place in a positive way, among other things through the harmonious coloring and the playful motif. The artwork contributes to giving the place an identity that people can feel proud of. The actors in the project are satisfied with the collaboration and artists describe the process as easy because there is a clear mission statement to follow. The state's methodological support addresses, among other things, the importance of early creating a working group with different skills and developing a mission statement. These are examples that the municipality is already working after. Therefore, it could be said that Eskilstuna municipality can be a role model for other municipalities and the state when it comes to work with public art and the one percent rule.

    Hjertén i Dagstidningarna: En kritisk diskursanalys av artiklar i dagstidningar gällande Sigrid Hjertén 1910-19402023Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis focuses on swedish modernist painter Sigrid Hjertén. The purpose of the thesis was to research how Hjerténs art and craftsmanship was depicted in daily newspapers from the year 1910 to 1940. The method and theory was mainly critical discourse analysis for the research of the articles in daily newspapers for the set time. The analysis is divided in three parts, one for each decade with an introductory part where a short analysis of how Hjertén was depicted in a variation of litterature. In the discussion the results from the analysis is presented and discussed, and different research paths are presented. The result from the analysis is that the general depiction of Hjerténs craftsmanship in daily newspapers from 1910 to 1940 was positive, with emphasis on the 1930’s decade. The analysis portrays partial inequality between different social groups.

    Allmogemålaren Anders Ädel2000Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the Swedish painter and infantry soldier AndersÄdel (1809-1888), who has hitherto only been known from oral tradition. He lived in a preindustrial, rural society. He practised and developed an old and distinctive interior-decoration tradition in the farmsteads of the province of Hälsingland, in the north of Sweden. Contemporary descriptions convey a picture of a wealthy rural population, where the dominating social class were the owners of large farms, impressive in size, neatness, and the quality of the carpentry. So-called Ädel-paintings, though concentrated to the parish of Ljusdal, are also found in neighbouring parishes, and are a Gustaviann-style floral decoration painted on walls, furniture, and artefacts in especially light-blue, white, and red hues.

    Anders Ädel's biography can be reconstructed from parish records and military archives.Socially, he belonged to the landless rural labourers, who had a more independent positionin northern Sweden than in the south. They embraced the norms and aesthetics of the free-holding farmers, whose farms were the cultural centres of the countryside. The farmers andthe craftsmen of the parish were the style setters of domestic interior design and building. Astyle adopted in one parish confirmed an identity in relation to other parishes and social classes. The integrity and self-awareness which is expressed in the architecture can also be seen in the decorated farmstead interiors.

    Caravaggios queera allegori om alkemi2013In: Lambda Nordica, ISSN 1100-2573, E-ISSN 2001-7286, Vol. 18, no 2, p. 79-92Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [sv]

    Det kan förefalla omöjligt att tillfoga något nytt om konstnärer som Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rafael och Caravaggio som det skrivits så oändligt mycket om. Men än finns det förbisedda verk och verk att återupptäcka. Ett sådant är den ganska okända takmålning från omkring 1599 av Caravaggio, i ett litet sidorumen studerkammarei Casino Ludovisi i Rom. Målningen återupptäcktes 2010 då 400-års- minnet av Caravaggios död uppmärksammades med utställningar och visningar av hans verk i kyrkor, museer och privat ägo. Den visas nu efter tidsbokning och mot en större avgift. ”Estremamente potente”, ex- tremt kraftfull, brukar besökare utbrista om målningen med molnig himmel och en sfär med zodiaken, omgiven av tre nakna män. Männen har identifierats som ett trippelsjälvporträtt av Caravaggio som gudarna Jupiter, Neptunus och Pluto (bild 1) i ett komplext kultur- och naturve- tenskapligt program som handlar om alkemi. Med queert läckage, ska det här tilläggas. I det följande kommer jag att redogöra för hur detta program också involverar ett dåtida normsystem kring sexualitet.

    Stadens dolda funktioner: En studie av gårdsbyggnaders förekomst inom byggnadsminnesbeståndet i Visby innerstad2013Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 180 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This study is focused on secondary buildings in urban backyards which belong to the multifaceted history of cities and of the selection of buildings for juridical protection of public cultural heritage care in Visby, Sweden.In Visby there are 269 settled properties, many of these contain secondary buildings, which were supplied with a long lasting juridical protection (3 kap. KML) between the 1990`s and the beginning of 21st century. The material in this study consists of documents of Beslut om byggnadsminne by the regional cultural heritage authority and interviews concerning the selection of protected buildings in Visby.Findings show that buildings from the early 20th century such as garages and laundry houses are underrepresented categories covered by protection. While most buildings from the 18th century and older were protected. More so, simple and small buildings such as woodsheds and privies were less likely to be protected than workshops, stables and warehouses. This selection differs from present authoritative principles. The results were analyzed by using Holmberg’s method concerning historization.The study highlights the valuation of secondary buildings in urban lots in the work of selection of lots and buildings for juridical protection and discusses causes behind the distribution of protection between different building categories. The study discusses possible motives for complementation of the selection for protected notable buildings. Finally it presents suggestions on efforts on different levels in the authoritative system, to strengthen the protection of secondary urban buildings.The suggestions are complementation of juridical protected buildings, categorization of backyard-buildings, decent practice of available laws and stimulate attitudes towards backyard-buildings as a cultural resource to bridge the gap between laws and exploitation.

    Mellan ideal och vetenskap: bild-textdissonanser i framställningar av djur i Svenska Familj-Journalen 1877–18822023Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (Two Years)), 30 credits / 45 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This thesis examines the Swedish 19th century family magazine, Svenska Familj-Journalen, and the interaction between bourgeois attitudes, science, and depictions of animals. My main purpose is to demonstrate how image-text divergences can discover ruptures between 19th century bourgeoise ideology and science. The study consists of a selection of illustrations and texts, the majority being popular zoology depictions that were published in the magazine between 1877–1882. By using nature-culture oppositions as well as art historian Sonya Petersson’s concept of the counteractive illustration, I am able to elucidate differences between texts and images. The texts and images are subsequently analyzed by relating them to contemporary scientific discourses, as well as to the early Swedish animal welfare and nature conservation movements. 

    The results of this study are that image-text divergences reveal 1) that images of animals could depict the animal as such, rather than as a symbol of bourgeois ideals, 2) an insecurity in the magazine’s attitudes toward Darwin’s theory of sexual selection, illustrating circumstances where the magazine chose to adhere to its ideological dispositions rather than accept Darwinian consensus, 3) that the magazine, in publishing texts that were critical of wild life exploitation, diverged from its progress oriented narrative, and that its use of images counteracted these messages.

    Abstract [en]

    This text discusses the use of extant objects and written documents as sources of information. It focuses on three questions: How does the information in objects differ from that given by written sources? What kind of knowledge may be gained by letting the information in objects and documentary sources interact? And is it possible to move from a micro-historical to a cultural perspective by combining objects and written sources? These questions are illustrated by examples from the Wardrobe of Robes at the Swedish Royal Court during the first half of the 17th century. From this organization there are extant garments and written documents, covering the same space in time, which can be combined in various ways. Through these sources, and the surrounding context given by the western European cultural framework, it is possible to exemplify how different forms of interaction between textile objects and written documents may give various kinds of information and how this information can be made available.
