Varför tatuerar man bilden av en gris på just vänster fot? Vad betyder egentligen ett tatuerat ankare? Hur ser man om en fullriggare är en äkta sjömanstatuering?De svenska sjömännens klassiska bildvärld är full av magiska symboler, skepp och marina föremål. Dessutom myllrar den av mer eller mindre glömda referenser till populärkulturen, inte minst den amerikanska.Boken tar dig med till de suggestiva hamnkvarteren, de seglande skeppen och en till stora delar försvunnen värld.

Reframing Swedish–American relations by focusing on contacts, crossings, and convergences beyond migration Studies of Swedish American history and identity have largely been confined to separate disciplines, such as history, literature, or politics. In Swedish–American Borderlands, this collection edited by Dag Blanck and Adam HjorthÉn seeks to reconceptualize and redefine the field of Swedish–American relations by reviewing more complex cultural, social, and economic exchanges and interactions that take a broader approach to the international relationship-ultimately offering an alternative way of studying the history of transatlantic relations. Swedish–American Borderlands studies connections and contacts between Sweden and the United States from the seventeenth century to today, exploring how movements of people have informed the circulation of knowledge and ideas between the two countries. The volume brings together scholars from a wide range of disciplines within the humanities and social sciences to investigate multiple transcultural exchanges between Sweden and the United States. Rather than concentrating on one-way processes or specific national contexts, Swedish–American Borderlands adopts the concept of borderlands to examine contacts, crossings, and convergences between the nations, featuring specific case studies of topics like jazz, architecture, design, genealogy, and more.By placing interactions, entanglements, and cross-border relations at the center of the analysis, Swedish–American Borderlands seeks to bridge disciplinary divides, joining a diverse set of scholars and scholarship in writing an innovative history of Swedish–American relations to produce new understandings of what we perceive as Swedish, American, and Swedish American.

The histories of colonial settlement in America are generally presented as uniquely national stories. Yet because these histories involved settlers who crossed oceans, they are inherently transnational and have been important for different groups throughout the world. To understand how settlement histories are used to promote social, political, and commercial relations across national borders, Adam Hjorthén explores the little-known phenomenon of cross-border commemorations.Focusing on two celebrations of Swedish settlement in America - the 1938 New Sweden Tercentenary and the 1948 Swedish Pioneer Centennial - Hjorthén examines a wide variety of sources to demonstrate how cultural leaders, politicians, and businessmen used these events to promote international relations between the United States and Sweden during times of great geopolitical transformation. Cross-Border Commemorations argues that scholarship on public commemoration should expand beyond national borders and engage the shared and contested meanings of history across local, national, and transnational contexts.

»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 Making cultural history … 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, Svenska Dagbladet English info text: 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. 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. 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. Svensk text om boken: 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 Making Cultural History 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. De sjutton essäerna som utgör Making Cultural History 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.
