Urban Diaspora
This is a book on the rise and fall of diasporic communities in Early Modern urban centers in Denmark and Sweden. It contains 17 chapters written by archaeologists, historians and scientists, ranging from in-depth studies of artefacts, biofacts and archaeological features to large-scale analyses of community formation among natives and migrants of multiple origins. The plethora of sources and approaches afforded by the numerous disciplines involved enables a significant new insight into the creation and recreation of migrant communities in these Early Modern towns.
Urban Elite Culture
Medieval towns were vibrant and complex social environments where diverse groups and lifestyles encountered and influenced each other. Surprisingly, in the study of urban archaeology, the aristocracy, one of the leading and most influential groups in medieval society, has so far been neglected. This book puts "aristocracy in towns" on the archaeological research agenda. The interdisciplinary and comparative study explores the significance and representation of aristocrats and their interaction with civic elites in sea-trading towns of the southwestern Baltic from the 12th to the 14th centuries. Essentially, however, the analysis of urban elite culture leads to discussion of a much more fundamental issue: the informative value of material culture for the investigation of social conditions. The book provides new archaeological approaches to the study of social differentiation in towns, and contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexity of urban social structures.
Everyday Products in the Middle Ages
The medieval marketplace is a familiar setting in popular and academic accounts of the Middle Ages, but we actually know very little about the people involved in the transactions that took place there, how their lives were influenced by those transactions, or about the complex networks of individuals whose actions allowed raw materials to be extracted, hewn into objects, stored and ultimately shipped for market. Twenty diverse case studies combine leading edge techniques and novel theoretical approaches to illuminate the identities and lives of these much overlooked ordinary people, painting of a number of detailed portraits to explore the worlds of actors involved in the lives of everyday products - objects of bone, leather, stone, ceramics, and base metal - and their production and use in medieval northern Europe. In so doing, this book seeks to draw attention away from the emergent trend to return to systems and global models, and restore to centre stage what should be the archaeologists most important concern: the people of the past.
The Saturated Sensorium
The Saturated Sensorium is a book about the senses and their media in the Middle Ages: a book about what it meant to sense and perceive something. The book highlights the integrated and unified nature of medieval senses and media. It discusses the inter- and multi-mediality of cultic and cultural artefacts as well as the sensorial and inter-sensorial dimensions of a wide array of cultural concepts and practices within medieval religion, art, archaeology, architecture, literature, music, food, social life, ritual, devotion, cognition, and memory. These domains of sensory and media history are dealt with, not as isolated anthology articles in only loose connection with one another, but as coor...

Danmarks byer fra renæssance til enevælde
Danmarks byer spillede en nøglerolle i forandringerne af det danske samfund fra 1550 til 1850, det vil sige fra omkring Reformationen frem til industrialiseringen. Nye, protestantiske institutioner voksede frem sammen med en styrket og snart enevældig kongemagt. Krige og kriser bremsede købstædernes vækst, mens København voksede som hovedstad for den samlede helstat. Da den krakelerede med Napoleonskrigene, ramte en afmatning København, mens provinsbyerne oplevede en opblomstring, der formede grundstammen i det system af byer, vi kender i dag. Byerne formidlede nye impulser udefra, og uddannelsessteder og bogtrykkerier gjorde dem til omdrejningspunkter for tidens videnskabelige, kulturelle og kunstneriske udvikling. Centralt i det hele stod de mennesker, der levede i byerne. Så forskellige de var fra læredreng til borgerfrue, fra indfødt tjenestepige til schweizisk konditor, fra stolt håndværksmester til arbejdsom spindekone. Tilsammen gav de byerne karakter og et pulserende dagligliv.
