Beginning with his doctoral dissertation in 1950 which introduced the study of event perception and the application of vector analysis to perception, Gunnar Johansson has been a seminal figure in the field of perception. His work on biomechanical motion in the 1970s challenged conventional notions and stimulated great interest among experimental psychologists and students of machine vision. In 1989 Johansson published his latest theoretical synthesis, the optic sphere theory, an innovative conceptualization that goes beyond his earlier proposals.This volume presents -- for the first time -- an extensive precis of the out-of-print classic 1950 monograph prepared by Johansson. It also includes a representative set of Johansson's important publications produced over the ensuing four decades. These papers served as the springboard for a set of original essays by a distinguished group of North American and European scientists. Part critical commentary, part elaboration, and part seeking new directions, the entire collection makes for a singularly rich treatment of the perception of objects and events.

Vad skulle hända om Jesus landade i dagens svenska samhälle? På riktigt, alltså. Och utförde sina under i allmänhetens åsyn. Vad skulle polisen säga? Och prästerna? Och Socialstyrelsen? Det utreder författaren i denna bok. Det blir komik och samhällskritik i en salig blandning. Tänk dig själv att någon skulle förvandla vatten till vin. På allmän plats och utan utskänkningstillstånd. Eller väcka upp döda, just som de skulle till att begravas. «Brott mot griftefrid» skulle myndigheterna säga. Och så skulle de muttra när de var tvungna att betala ut pensionen igen. Sten Sture Skaldeman är yrkesskribent med en lång karriär bakom sig. Detta är hans skönlitterära debut.

Under sina promenader vid Långsjön upptäcker Skaldeman smått och stort. Han ser djuren och växterna. Han ser rester av liv i äldre tider samtidigt som den nya tiden försöker att göra sig gällande. Boken är en så kallad haibun, en prosatext med lyriska inslag. Den japanske 1600-talspoeten Bashō – den som anses vara den som introducerade den litterära formen – diktade haiku. Det gör Skaldeman också men här finns också längre dikter. I Promenader vid Långsjön handlar det också om den känsliga relationen mellan människa och natur och Skaldeman presenterar en hållning gentemot livet som av många lätt glöms bort eller som rent utav kan synas skrämmande. Sanningen är den att vi alla är förgängliga.

Haikumagasinet heter den nya satsningen från energiska förlaget Fri Press. Det bästa av två världar kommer många att tycka: manga och haiku! Och priset är inget att klaga på: 40 kronor. Jag vågar påstå att det ges valuta för vartenda öre. Tanken är att bli en återkommande tidskrift, med en haiku per sida illustrerad i serieform. Olika bildkonstnärer utlovas framöver, i premiärnumret dock enbart Sara Lundstedt. Det är alltså fråga om haiga; en svår konst då, som det heter ”en bild säger mer än tusen ord”, och bilden ju inte bör överrösta texten. Lundstedt klarar uppgiften med den äran, lyhörd mot dikterna samtidigt som de tillförs nya dimensioner. Kaj Falkman, som så ofta betonade ”bildens förvandling” i sin haikupoetik, hade blivit förtjust! Lundstedts serierutor bygger upp det gradvisa framskridande som är så viktigt för att läsa haiku med behållning; det meditativa: att stanna upp, att ta in. Det finns ett lugn och fokus i seriernas mjuka gråskalor som har sin motsvarighet i det japanska tuschmåleriets wabi/sabi-estetik, med dess sparsmakade och väderbitna vemod. Dikterna är hälften svenska och hälften japanska. Tolkningarna är utmärkta. Lundstedts seriekonst blandar abstrakta och figurativa element, så att Sten Sture Skaldemans vinbergssnäckor i ett salladsland närmast blir totalt psykedeliska, medan det i Bashos ”kråka på höstgren” endast är själva fågeln som lösgör sig ur formen. Lundstedt gör här en både genial och kongenial nytolkning av en annars något sliten klassiker. Jag kan ibland tycka att svenska och internationella haikupoeter blir lite för beroende och hämmade av japonismer och orientalism. Men Sara Lundstedt lyckas väva ihop det svenska och japanska i en väl sammanhållen och samtidigt genuin bildvärld. En syntes som även skymtar förbi i flera av dikterna, som i Dag Perssons charmiga och konstlösa: Skvaller om värme bryggor båtar och måsar från en kopp Lapsang Sten Svensson

This is a study of the history and function of the highest ecclesiastical tribunal, the Sacra Romana Rota, from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries. Despite its importance for Christendom and in contrast with other important papal offices, the activity of the Rota has never been thoroughly investigated on the basis of archival sources, in large part due to the vast source material and the perceived "difficulty" of the subject. This book fills this significant gap by explaining how the Rota functioned-its organization, the phases of a Rota process, everyday practices at the tribunal-and the kinds of issues it handled, where the processes originated from and how long they lasted. The study demonstrates that the Rota dealt with a range of cases much broader than has previously been acknowledged, whilst also confirming that the tribunal mainly oversaw litigation over benefices. The results of this research reveal the true role of the Rota and its significance for Christians from the middle ages to the dawn of the Reformation.

Donations, Inheritance and Property in the Nordic and Western World from Late Antiquity until Today presents an examination of Nordic donation and gift-giving practices in the Nordic and Western world, beginning in late Antiquity and extending through to the present day. Through chapters contributed by leading international researchers, this book explores the changing legal, social and religious frameworks that shape how donations and gifts are given.In addition to donations to ecclesiastical, charitable and cultural institutions, this books also highlights the sociolegal challenges and the tensions that can occur as a result of transferring property, including answering key questions such as who has a right to what. It also presents, for the first time, an insight into the dynamics of donations and the interplay between individual motivations, strategic behaviour and the legal setting of inheritance law. Offering a broad chronological and European perspective and including a wide range of illuminating case studies Donations, Inheritance and Property in the Nordic and Western World from Late Antiquity until Today is ideal for students of Nordic and European legal and social history.

Providing a comprehensive and engaging account of personal unions, composite monarchies and multiple rule in premodern Europe: Unions and Divisions. New Forms of Rule in Medieval and Renaissance Europe uses a comparative approach to examine the phenomena of the medieval and renaissance unions in a pan-European overview.In the later Middle Ages, genealogical coincidences led to caesuras in various dynastic successions. Solutions to these were found, above all, in new constellations which saw one political entity becoming co-managed by the ruler of another in the form of a personal union. In the premodern period, such solutions were characterised by two factors in particular: on the one hand, the entry of two countries into a union did not constitute a military annexation — even though claims to the throne were all too often imposed by force; on the other hand, the new unitarian constellation retained, at least de jure, the independence of its respective components. The twenty-four essays, ranging in scope from Scandinavia to Iberia, from England and France to Central and Eastern Europe, examine whether the respective unions were the result of careful planning and deliberations in the face of a long-foreseen succession crisis or whether they emerged from dynamic developments that were largely reactive and dependent upon various random factors and circumstances. Each union is assessed to provide an understanding, for students and researchers, of the political and social forces involved in the respective countries and investigates how the unions were reflected in contemporary literature (pamphlets, memoranda, chronicles, diaries etc.), propaganda and in legal and historical discourses.This volume is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the history of monarchy, political history and social and cultural histories in premodern Europe.

This is the first in a sequence of books which explores the history of The Baltic World and Northern Europe. In this period, Sweden was a major European power, occupying a central position in international politics. Her rise and decline, and the passing of regional hegemony to the new powers of Russia and Prussia, are central features in the book. Dr Kirby describes the evolving social and political systems of the principal Baltic states of the time, he gives the key events and processes in European history a new interest and freshness by showing them from the unfamiliar perspective of the northern world.

Identity and Transformation in the Plays of Alexis Piron

Under sin tid på Svenska Dagbladet tyckte Mats Svegfors om att ordna seminarieövningar i olika ämnen. De kunde vara utdragna över flera dagar och de kunde vara blixtsnabba korridorsamtal. Han är en sällsynthet i vårt offentliga liv - en självständig intellektuell som inte är rädd för att byta ståndpunkt och äger lusten att bli motsagd. Boken Det ansvarsfulla uppdraget är skriven till och om en lyssnande människa, en som gillar att argumentera för och emot, en människa vars identitet är gränsöverskridande. Han existerar mellan politikens, förvaltningens och mediernas värld, men utan att förlora livets andliga värden. Personer som mött och berörts av Mats Svegfors skriver om honom på ett gripande, roligt och informativt sätt.
