Dronningemagt i Middelalderen
Historikerne har haft meget at sige om middelalderens konger. Hvem har ikke hort om Harald Blatand, Valdemar Atterdag og Christian 2.? Kongerne og deres store bedrifter er fast pensum og en integreret del af vores fAelles historiebevidsthed. Men hvad med dronningerne? Margrethe 1. kender vel alle, men hvad med de andre dronninger? En af grundene til, at dronningerne star i skyggen af deres gemaler, er reel nok: Dronningen havde som regel ikke lige sa meget magt som kongen. De har vAere nemme for historikerne at overse. Men en anden grund er, at historieskrivningen traditionelt har vAeret mandsdomineret. Denne bog kaster lys over Nordens glemte middelalderdronninger. De fleste af bogens artikler omhandler en enkelt dronning og har biografisk karakter. Andre artikler har et bredere sigte. Alle bidrager de til en storre forstaelse af dronningens magt i Nordens middelalder. Bogen er et festskrift til Anders Bogh, hvis disputats om Margrethe 1. (2003) har stimuleret interessen for dronningemagt i middelalderen.
Broadway Musicals, 1943-2004
On March 31, 1943, the musical Oklahoma! premiered and the modern era of the Broadway musical was born. Since that time, the theatres of Broadway have staged hundreds of musicals--some more noteworthy than others, but all in their own way a part of American theatre history. With more than 750 entries, this comprehensive reference work provides information on every musical produced on Broadway since Oklahoma's 1943 debut. Each entry begins with a brief synopsis of the show, followed by a three-part history: first, the pre-Broadway story of the show, including out-of-town try-outs and Broadway previews; next, the Broadway run itself, with dates, theatres, and cast and crew, including replacements, chorus and understudies, songs, gossip, and notes on reviews and awards; and finally, post-Broadway information with a detailed list of later notable productions, along with important reviews and awards.
Religion som forklaring?
Forholdet mellem religion og samfund er under forandring. I flere artier har vi talt meget lidt om religion i det offentlige rum, men i dag fylder det religiose langt mere i politiske diskussioner - og i medierne. Religion som forklaring? udforsker religionens betydning i Danmark pa baggrund af de spor, teolog og historiker Per Ingesman igennem sit forskerliv har lagt for vores forstaelse af religionens rolle i samfundet. Bogens 20 bidrag reflekterer bl.a. over hofprAedikanternes indflydelse pa Christian 3.s regeringstid, middelalderens pavebreve til Norden, hor som et andeligt fAenomen i 1200-tallets Danmark og afskaffelsen af efterarskonfirmationen i 1950'ernes Aarhus. Bogen giver et indblik i kristendommens historiske sammenspil med samfundsudviklingen. Og den viser, hvordan religionen i arhundreder har vAeret den eneste sande forklaring for ret, magt og kultur i Europa.

Reformationen
Da Martin Luther den 31. oktober 1517 offentliggjorde 95 teser mod den pavelige afladshandel, gav han startskuddet til 1500-tallets kulturrevolution - reformationen. Luther ville give kirken tilbage til menigheden og brod med den middelalderlige kirke, magthaverne og prAesteskabet. Nu skulle mennesket frelses ved sin tro alene.Med reformationsbevAegelsen kom nye protestantiske kirker i Nordeuropa - og en bolge af forandringer. PrAester matte gifte sig, helgendyrkelse blev afskaffet og gudstjenesten afholdt pa nationalsprogene. I stort som smat blev den middelalderlige kirkes gods verdsligt. Det samme blev skole og uddannelse, hjAelp til samfundets svage og regulering af Aegteskab og seksualitet. Helt frem til oplysningstiden pavirkede reformationen politik, retsvAesen og okonomi, og den satte spor ikke kun i tAenkning, kunst og videnskab, men ogsa i Aegteskab, familieliv og borneopdragelse.Reformationen - 1500-tallets kulturrevolution er et vAegtigt storvAerk om Luther og den revolution, hans ideer og budskaber satte i gang.Bind 1: Reformationen - 1500-tallets kulturrevolution i EuropaBind 2: Reformationen - 1500-tallets kulturrevolution i Danmark
Tings Tale 05
Ting taler til os. Desværre kan vi ikke altid finde ud af at lytte til deres historier. Den kunst mestrer bidragyderne, som tæller antropologer, arkæologer, historikere og konservatorer, i Tings Tale heldigvis og kan derfor give tingene en stemme. I dette nummer vækkes følgende genstande til live: Vægfarver i kunstneren Johannes Buchholtz’ hus Bunkerne og kunsten langs den jyske vestkyst Stenalderfigurer på en kalksten En vindfløj fra Ringkøbing En samling etnografiske genstande fra Nepal
Money, History, and International Finance
This volume provides a critical evaluation of Anna J. Schwartz's work and probes various facets of the immense contribution of her scholarship—How well has it stood the test of time? What critiques have been leveled against it? How has monetary research developed over the years, and how has her influence been manifested? Bordo has collected five conference papers presented by leading monetary scholars, discussants' comments, and closing remarks by Milton Friedman and Karl Brunner. Each of these insightful surveys extends Schwartz's work and makes its own contribution to the fields of monetary history, theory, and policy. The volume also contains a foreword by Martin Feldstein and a selected bibliography of publications by Anna Schwartz.
The Dao of Healing
The last 50 years have seen the popularity of Chinese medicine grow exponentially. In China, Korea, Japan and Singapore, Chinese medicine has been incorporated into their healthcare systems to varying degrees. In the West, it is no longer uncommon for patients to consult Chinese medicine doctors, many of whom are non-Chinese. However, among Christians in many parts of the developed world, Chinese medicine is still viewed with suspicion and negativity. Are these fears justified? How can we better understand the roots and practices of Chinese medicine? The Dao of Healing takes us on an in-depth exploration of the histories and philosophies that have shaped both Western biomedicine and Chinese medicine in order that we might make informed judgements about them. If our call is to “love our neighbours”, we need to be able to dialogue with them on the basis of mutual respect and understanding. Let this book be the catalyst for meaningful and productive conversations across the divide.
