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.
Denmark is one of Europe's smallest democracies, made up of 482 islands. This book provides a detailed look at the long history of the area, including Denmark's significant influence on the evolution ...of Europe relative to its size. Denmark has a millennium-long continuous history and development from Viking times (about 800-1050 AD) to the modern welfare state. The resilience of the Danish people is evident in the artistic golden age of the early 19th century despite national bankruptcy, the agricultural revival during the final third of the 19th century. Modern Denmark leads in industrial design, furniture, engineering, pharmacy, and social development in the 20th century. Danish scientists, medical doctors, composers, musicians, choreographers, playwrights, authors, sculptors, architects, designers, painters and film directors have made significant contributions to the development of European culture. In the 21st century, Denmark combines a thriving and highly productive modern economy with extensive social care and welfare, and thus refutes the neo-conservative economists who claim that such a combination is impossible. In short, Denmark is seen by the Danes and their neighbors as a very good place to live. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Denmark contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1000 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Denmark
Mellemkrigstiden var præget af opbrud og splittelse. Tilsyneladende havde demokratiet og liberale værdier spillet fallit, og ekstreme ideologier som nazisme, fascisme og kommunisme stormede frem i et ...hjemsøgt Europa. Krisen slog direkte ned i dansk konservatisme, der måtte kæmpe for at finde en ny stemme. Med partiformanden John Christmas Møller i spidsen forsvarede de socialkonservative det liberale demokrati, mens højrekonservative afviste samfundsudviklingen som farlig, og nykonservative flirtede med fascismen.
Konservatisme i mellemkrigstiden er historien om konflikten blandt danske konservative og om deres kritik af samfundets liberale orden, parlamentarismen og folkestyret. Det er samtidig fortællingen om, hvordan den samfundskritiske konservatisme blev gjort tavs, og hvordan en moderne konservatisme opstod.
This book presents a comprehensive and systematic description of the underlying pedagogy inherent in doctoral supervision and its institutional context. It argues that doctoral supervision relies on ...an advanced form of pedagogy that is often tacit for both students and supervisors. The target audience for this book includes doctoral supervisors and students, people conducting research and developmental work in the field of doctoral education, and stakeholders and intellectual leaders in a broader academic context.The author of this book presents the results of an extensive study of the research on doctoral supervision and education together with his own empirical findings from qualitative observation and interview studies at both Danish and British universities.
In The Danish Slave Trade and Its Abolition, Erik Gøbel offers an account of the well-documented Danish transatlantic slave trade and discusses, in detail, the 1792 decision to abolish it.
Since the middle of the 1800s, Denmark has increasingly taken the form of an industrial society, also in the sense that the industry's physical environments have been a growing part of the cultural ...landscape - and the development is still going on. Especially the massive building developments, which can be observed alongside the motorways, are a clear manifestation that industry - although having moved out of the old neighborhoods in the major cities from the 1950s, if not before - still dominates the landscape. The focal point of this book is the industrial environment, as understood through the objects, buildings and landscapes that came with industrial production, as well as its relationship to the natural conditions and the associated methods of production and lifestyles, organizations, assessments and knowledge. Emphasis will be placed on the physical environment, although research has also been carried out on work culture and business history.
This anthology analyses the transformation of interconnected spaces and spatial entanglements in the Danish-Norwegian and Swedish possessions in the Atlantic world during the era of the ...trans-Atlantic slave trade.
This thesis explores how current ways of imagining possibilities for intersexed and trans embodied lives within medical contexts might be informed by and reimagined through the historical lived ...experiences of intersexed and trans individuals as they have been articulated in autobiographical accounts. Postmodern, queer, intersex, and trans researchers and activists have criticised existing standards of intersex and trans healthcare for limiting the possibilities for diverse embodied lives by articulating certain forms of embodiment and selfhood as more likely to enable a liveable life than others. This has often been done in a medico-legal context by referring to experiences in the past of the unliveability of corporealities and gendersexed situations that differ from privileged positions. With a point of departure in these critiques, this thesis reopens questions about how intersexed and trans people may be embodied and have relations with others by reflecting upon the period of the first three-quarters of the 20th century, when the present standards of care and diagnostic categories were emerging, but had not yet become established. Drawing upon a unique set of historical source material from the archives of the Danish Ministry of Justice and the Medico-Legal Council, intersexed and trans persons’ life stories are rearticulated from their own and medico-legal experts’ accounts written in relation to applications for change of legal gendersex status and medical transition. In this way, the process is traced through which these life stories have been repeatedly rearticulated in order to become a usable basis for diagnosis and decision-making. At the same time, the stories are unfolded once more in a rearticulation focusing on their complexity and diversity.
