The Nature of Kingship c. 800-1300. The Danish Incident by Nils Hybel presents the first comprehensive history of the changeable nature of monarchial power in Danish territories from the Viking Age ...to the Central Middle Ages.
In 1958, Britain and Denmark both advocated closer European cooperation through the looser framework of the Free Trade Area (FTA) rather than membership of the nascent European Economic Community ...(EEC). By 1972, however, the situation had changed drastically. The FTA was a long-forgotten concept. Its replacement, the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), seemed economically and politically inept. Now, at the third time of asking, both countries were on the verge of joining the EEC as full members. This compelling analysis compares how the European policies of the British Labour Party and the Danish Social Democrats evolved amid this environment. Based on material from 12 archives in four countries, it updates our knowledge of key moments in both parties’ interaction with the integration story, including in the formative stages of the EEC in 1958¬–60 and the negotiations for British and Danish EEC membership in 1961–63, 1967 and 1970–72. More innovatively, this book argues that amid an array of national and international constraints the reciprocal influence exerted by Labour and the SD on each other via informal party contacts was itself a crucial determinant in European policymaking. In so doing, it sheds light on the sources of Labour European thinking, the role of small states like Denmark in the integration process, and the prominence of the Anglo-Scandinavian nexus in the broader narrative of British foreign policy in this period.
In most subtitling countries, those lines at the bottom of the screen are the most read medium of all, for which reason they deserve all the academic attention they can get. This monograph represents ...a large-scale attempt to provide such attention, by exploring the norms of subtitling for television. It does so by empirically investigating a large corpus of television subtitles from Scandinavia, one of the bastions of subtitling, along with other European data.The aim of the book is twofold: first, to provide an advanced and comprehensive model for investigating translation problems in the form of Extralinguistic Cultural References (ECRs). Second, to empirically explore current European television subtitling norms, and to look into future developments in this area.This book will be of interest to anyone interested in gaining access to state-of-the-art tools for translation analysis, or in learning more about the norms of subtitling, based on empirically reliable and current material.
Excavating Nationstraces the history of archaeology and museums in the contested German-Danish borderlands from the emergence of antiquarianism in the early nineteenth-century to German-Danish ...reconciliation after the Second World War. J. Laurence Hare reveals how the border regions of Schleswig-Holstein and Sønderjylland were critical both to the emergence of professional prehistoric archaeology and to conceptions of German and Scandinavian origins.
At the center of this process, Hare argues, was a cohort of amateur antiquarians and archaeologists who collaborated across the border to investigate the ancient past but were also complicit in its appropriation for nationalist ends.Excavating Nationsfollows the development of this cross-border network over four generations, through the unification of Germany and two world wars. Using correspondence and site reports from museum, university, and state archives across Germany and Denmark, Hare shows how these scholars negotiated their simultaneous involvement in nation-building projects and in a transnational academic community.
Prispevek temelji na raziskavi, ki je bila izvedena na Danskem in v sklopu katere je naključni vzorec prebivalstva odgovarjal na vprašanja o svojih preferencah do okolice in lokacije svojega doma. ...Izkazalo se je, da so značilnosti socialnega okolja zelo pomembne in da jih lahko razdelimo v tri ločene skupine: izogibanje socialnim tegobam, dajanje prednosti socialni homogenosti ter bivanje blizu socialne mreže in domačega kraja. Raziskava je pokazala, da ima večina ljudi veliko število podrobnih preferenc, nekateri pa jih imajo zelo malo. To potrjuje starejšo teorijo, da so nekateri ljudje zelo povezani z določenimi kraji z danimi lastnostmi in zato nimajo posebnih želja glede okolice in lokacije doma. Za druge, večinoma mlade in samske, pa je dom samo kraj, na katerem spijo in se spočijejo, medtem ko življenje poteka drugje. Ta skupina ima samo preference do lokacije in le malo specifičnih preferenc do okolice.
Hvad er klokken? Danskerne tjekker i gennemsnit uret 18 gange i døgnet, og der er da også nok at holde øje med. Skoletider, spisetider og sengetider - og man skulle jo helst heller ikke komme for ...sent på arbejde. Forudsætningen for at indgå aftaler er, at vi alle har den samme tidsforståelse. I Danmark har vi fulgt det samme klokkeslæt siden den 1. januar 1894. Da gjorde man op med ideen om, at hver landsby havde sin egen lokale tid styret af solens gang over himlen, og universaltiden gjorde landet til en del af en verden med tidszoner. Lige siden har de samme timer, minutter og sekunder været den afgørende målestok i en verden besat af tid. For uden tid, ingen danmarkshistorier.
Tag med på en tidsrejse med Poul Duedahl, der er lektor i historie ved Aalborg Universitet.
Eric Ziolkowski's monumental study examines Kierkegaard's "whole 'prolix literature,'" including both the pseudonymous and the signed published writings as well as the private journals, papers, and ...letters, in relation to works by five literary giants from different times and places:Cloudsby Aristophanes;Parzivalby the medieval German poet Wolfram von Eschenbach;Don Quixoteby Cervantes; certain plays, particularlyHamlet, by Shakespeare; and the fictional, poeticphilosophical workSartor Resartus, together with some of the essays by Kierkegaard's Scottish contemporary Thomas Carlyle. No full or complete understanding of the writings of an author as prolific and complex as Kierkegaard is possible.Yet Kierkegaard signals the essentially literary as opposed to strictly theological or philosophical nature of his writings. Ziolkowski first considers the notions of aesthetics and the aesthetic as Kierkegaard adapted them, and then his posture as a poet, as interrelated contexts of his selfconception as "a weed in literature." After next taking account of the history of the critical recognition of Kierkegaard as a literary artist, he looks at an important characteristic of his literary craft that has received relatively little attention: the manner by which he and his pseudonyms read and quote other authors. Ziolkowski then explores the connections between the philosopher's writings and those of other literary masters by whom he was directly influenced, such as Aristophanes, Cervantes, and Shakespeare; or of those who, while they did not directly influence him, gave paradigmatic expression to some of the same aspects of aesthetic, ethical, and religious existence that Kierkegaard and his pseudonyms portray. Ziolkowski's seminal study will be of interest to Kierkegaard scholars, philosophers, and comparative literature scholars alike.
This book provides unique insights into Late Neolithic life, its organization and its economy, made possible by an altogether exceptional collection of recent archaeological findings in South ...Scandinavia from longhouses with sunken floors dating from this period. Through analysis and interpretation of these comprehensive materials, Danish archaeologist John Simonsen presents brand new findings essential for many wider interpretations of this crucial and fascinating transitional period from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age (c. 2350- c. 1600 BC). The basic materials presented and discussed in Daily Life at the Turn of the Neolithic were mainly found during new archaeological excavations in the central part of the Limfjord region of Denmark, but, in terms of the wider perspectives and considerations, often relate to the entire region and in several respects also to South Scandinavia - and beyond.
The assertion written on the Great Stone of Jelling is that it was Harold (Bluetooth) who converted the Danes to Christianity in c.965. In this comprehensive survey, Martin Schwarz Lausten charts the ...fortunes of the church in Denmark from its very beginnings to the present day. Starting with the pagan society of the Vikings, Lausten describes how the Danes were introduced to the new religion prior to Harald's enthronement through their contact with Christian traders and missionaries, and in the encounters of the Viking raiders with Christian culture in France and England. Drawing on a wealth of manuscript, printed and pictorial sources, the book details how Church and Royal power transformed an ancient peasant society into a typical medieval state. Following chapters examine the impact of Luther and the Reformation on Danish society, and the shift in the struggles for authority between the Church and the State. The influence of the Humanist movement and the European Enlightenment are also examined in full, together with the issues they raised such as how the Church was to speak to the modern man who no longer took at face value the authority of the Bible. Lausten brings his survey right up to current times with an overview of the nineteenth-century revivalist movements, the Danish Church's response to the Jewish question during the German occupation, through to the present day establishment of the People's Church.

Udlandet elsker Aarhus i disse år. Men allerede i 1997 havde det internationale samfund fået øje på byen, da forsker Jens Kristian Skou fik Nobelprisen i kemi. Det kan man læse om i Danmark i Europa. ...1950-2000, hvor forfattere i 51 korte artikler retter søgelyset mod Danmark. Det sker i et år, hvor opmærksomheden igen er på Aarhus, der er Europæisk Kulturhovedstad. Bogens artikler tager udgangspunkt i ét år og folder hver især en tematik ud. Fx grundloven i 1953, porno i 1969 og strejker i 1985. Det halve århundrede bød på oprør, musik og hippier, og både samfund og kultur var til debat. Det var ikke fint nok at vinde det internationale Melodi Grand Prix i 1963, og det nye kulturministerium skabte Statens Kunstfond i 1964. Så var der ordentlig kultur til folket. Større enighed var der om folkepension, statens uddannelsesstøtte og pasning af børn, og overskriften på årene 1965-76 blev velfærdsstatens guldalder. Indimellem stemte danskerne i 1972 ja til EF, der siden blev til EU. Danmark engagerede sig også internationalt, da danske soldater rejste til Balkan. Og mange danskere søgte ud over over både egne og landets grænser, da World Wide Web blev virkelighed.
