Curating Context describes a field where the curatorial practice is extended beyond curating exhibitions into working with entire contexts. It articulates the why and how of curating art projects that gain their meaning in relation to a surrounding context, or which need a specific structure in order to play out. In this practice, curatorial considerations are interwoven with the production, and the intentions of artists and curators lead the way rather than institutional structures. The texts and conversations in this book reflect on how these curatorial methodologies not only situate works in different places, but also transfer curatorial methods into other fields, such as the contexts of law, urban development, and constructions of the civic. This exciting curatorial approach where each project sets new demands, requires very specific skills rarely taught in curatorial programs. Curating Context is an attempt to share a sustained conversation among practitioners in the field.

The Book Of Lagom - The Swedish Way Of Living Just Right Bok
<p>Lagom - the Swedish word for not too much, not too little - is spreading like wildfire around the world. The idea is to be consciously moderate and make your own decisions about career, clothes, travel and food, treating yourself to enjoyment, health and beauty without harming the environment.<br/><br/>Entertaining, witty and with a sharp eye for detail, Göran Everdahl makes the case that lagom offers the perfect balance between work and home, wholesome and overindulgent eating, levity and sobriety.<br/><br/>As a respected, widely read author and columnist, Everdahl covers popular culture and film. He is also a regular contributor to Swedish Public Television and Radio.<br/></p>

Making Cultural History - New Perspectives On Western Heritage Bok
»Vad är det som är allra roligast att läsa? Det är vill jag påstå texter som man inte visste att de fanns, om ämnen som man aldrig tänkt på som ämnen. Just den sortens texter möter man i antologin <i>Making cultural history</i> ett fynd för den som vill förstå vad som format den tid vi lever i Det som kanske imponerar allra mest med boken är hur uppenbart engagerade, ja, inte sällan passionerade skribenterna är.« Merete Mazzarella, <i>Svenska Dagbladet</i><br/><br/>Cultural history tends to elude positive definition. It deals in some sense with culture, and with history, combined in a creative and often critical analysis. But its strength and analytical potential is to be found in its slipperiness, in its critical attitude to authoritative categorization, and its relentless movement towards new angles, new spaces beyond the evident and the canonical.<br/><br/>This volume has sprung out of the Research School for Studies in Cultural History at the Faculty of Humanities of Stockholm University, a five-year interdisciplinary research programme focusing on interplays between past and present. The Research School has provided a productive space for border-crossing academic enterprises. And as a result, the seventeen essays of this volume display just as many innovative approaches to traditional academic subjects such as celebrity, literary genre, prehistoric remains, television, and historic monuments. All stem from unexpected combinations and sliding perspectives, focusing on obscure corners and gaps between the illuminated centres of traditional academic knowledge. From such sliding perspectives follows the realization that all narratives, representations, and claims of culture and history are in some sense political.<br/><br/>The seventeen essays in this volume demonstrate how a shifting kaleidoscope of the academic subjects makes new knowledge possible, and enables the formulation of new critical questions. Challenging, disturbing, inspirational, these essays all make cultural history.<br/><br/><b>Svensk text om boken:</b><br/><br/>Det är svårt att definiera kulturhistoria. Det handlar om kultur och historia, som kombineras på ett kreativt sätt och ofta med en kritisk analys. Forskningsområdet kulturhistorias styrka och analytiska potential finns just i dess gränsöverskridande karaktär, och i dess kritiska attityd mot snäva klassificeringar. Kulturhistorisk forskning strävar efter nya infallsvinklar bortom de givna och kanoniska. Essäsamlingen <i>Making Cultural History</i> har vuxit fram ur Forskarskolan för kulturhistoriska studier (FoKult) vid humanistiska fakulteten vid Stockholms universitet. Forskarskolan, ett femårigt tvärvetenskapligt forskningsprogram som fokuserar på samspelet mellan dåtid och nutid har givit spelrum för kreativa tvärvetenskapliga verksamheter. Som ett resultat av denna verksamhet finner vi här sjutton essäer som är fyllda av nyskapande metoder och infallsvinklar på traditionella akademiska discipliner såsom litteraturvetenskap, arkeologi och medievetenskap. Skribenterna arbetar utifrån oväntade ämneskombinationer och lyfter fram det dolda och oanade som befinner sig i den traditionella forskningens periferi. Med dessa nya perspektiv följer insikten om att allt historiskt berättande och alla utsagor om kultur och historia i viss mån är politiskt.<br/><br/>De sjutton essäerna som utgör <i>Making Cultural History</i> visar hur nya infallsvinklar på de akademiska ämnena gör ny kunskap möjlig, och även gör det möjligt att formulera nya kritiska frågor. Essäerna är utmanande, irriterande och inspirerande, och alla skapar de ny kulturhistoria.

<p>The fear of living in the end times has a long history. In Decadence and Decay, a group of distinguished international scholars describe how societies over time have handled and interpreted the concept of decline. In times of unrest and transition, declinism the notion that a culture or civilisation is headed towards irreversible decline tends to capture the public imagination. The essays in this volume address how notions of decadence and decay have been used both as opprobrium and as a form of self-definition and empowerment an instrument to protect individualism against collectivistic oppression. From ancient Rome to the present, ideas and expressions of decadence and decay have played a critical role in how we perceive the world.<i></i></p>

The Red Houses Bok
Red painted wooden houses have long occupied a special standing in Swedish architectural tradition and have done much to shape the image of Sweden's national building culture. Red houses and Falun red paint are frequently associated with the quintessentially Swedish, investing many buildings and landscapes with identity and character. But few people imagine the abundance and diversity of the red-painted architectural heritage, the truly many-faceted nature of this form of settlement.<br/><br/>In this book we are introduced to very many different types of buildings and building techniques, from threshing floors, stables, castles, courthouses and mills to crofts, villas, headframes and churches.
