Histories of Knowledge in Postwar Scandinavia Actors Arenas and Aspirations

Histories of Knowledge in Postwar Scandinavia Actors Arenas and Aspirations

Histories of Knowledge in Postwar Scandinavia uses case studies to explore how knowledge circulated in the different public arenas that shaped politics economics and cultural life in and across postwar Scandinavia particularly in the 1960s and 1970s. This book focuses on a period when the term knowledge society was coined and rapidly found traction. In Scandinavia society’s relationship to rational forms of knowledge became vital to the self-understanding and political ambitions of the era. Taking advantage of contemporary discussions about the circulation arenas forms applications and actors of knowledge contributors examine various forms of knowledge – economic environmental humanistic religious political and sexual – that provide insight into the making and functioning of postwar Scandinavian societies and offer innovative studies that contribute to the development of the history of knowledge at large. The concentration on knowledge rather than the welfare state the Cold War or the new social and political movements which to date have attracted the lion’s share of scholarly attention ensures the book makes a historiographical intervention in postwar Scandinavian historiography. Offering a stimulating point of departure for those interested in the history of knowledge and the circulation of knowledge this is a vital resource for students and scholars of postwar Scandinavia that provides fresh perspectives and new methodologies for exploration. | Histories of Knowledge in Postwar Scandinavia Actors Arenas and Aspirations

Viking-Age Transformations Trade Craft and Resources in Western Scandinavia

Viking-Age Transformations Trade Craft and Resources in Western Scandinavia

The Viking Age was a period of profound change in Scandinavia. As kingdoms were established Christianity became the encompassing ideological and cosmological framework and towns were formed. This book examines a central backdrop to these changes: the economic transformation of West Scandinavia. With a focus on the development of intensive and organized use of woodlands and alpine regions and domestic raw materials together with the increasing standardization of products intended for long-distance trade the volume sheds light on the emergence of a strong interconnectedness between remote rural areas and central markets. Viking-Age Transformations explores the connection between legal and economic practice as the rural economy and monetary system developed in conjunction with nascent state power and the legal system. Thematically the book is organized into sections addressing the nature and extent of trade in both marginal and centralized areas; production and the social legal and economic aspects of exploiting natural resources and distributing products; and the various markets and sites of trade and consumption. A theoretically informed and empirically grounded collection that reveals the manner in which relationships of production and consumption transformed Scandinavian society with their influence on the legal and fiscal division of the landscape this volume will appeal to scholars of archaeology the history of trade and Viking studies. | Viking-Age Transformations Trade Craft and Resources in Western Scandinavia
