Telling stories is an essential part of being human: We tell stories about ourselves to show other people who we are and where we belong. Nations have stories to tell too - "stories of peoplehood" - that build and maintain a sense of national belonging and identity. The concept has been used to analyse identities, memories, and histories of individuals, communities and nations. But does it make sense to talk about peoplehood today? Can plural societies tell national stories without marginalizing their minorities? And is it even fair to assume that our individual self-narratives are coupled with shared cultural ones? In Narrating Peoplehood amidst Diversity, 16 internationally renowned scholars reflect on the nature and history of peoplehood and discuss how it forms part of national identities, public culture, and academic historiography. Based on theoretical analysis and empirical studies drawn from Latinos in the United States and African immigrants in France, and from multicultural stands in Canada to grand narratives in Danish history, the book is a timely contribution to the ongoing debate on belonging and identification in multicultural societies.

Apart from essays on Britain, France, and Germany, the collection includes studies of popular histories in Scandinavia, Eastern and Southern Europe, nota...

Hvem bestemmer hvad der er god videnskab? I det 19. og 20. århundrede har svaret været universitetets professorer: De fastlagde de videnskabelige normer, f.eks. gennem eksamenskrav, disputatsbedømmelser og lærerindstillinger. I Professoratet beskriver Pelle Oliver Larsen hvorledes akademikere opnåede en sådan magt ved Det Filosofiske Fakultet i København i årene 1870-1920: Hvordan blev man professor? Hvad var beslutningsgrundlaget for udnævnelsen? Da universitetets lærerforsamling i 1904 anbefalede at give kvinder adgang til universitetets videnskabelige stillinger, blev der argumenteret med at det var i overensstemmelse med »den nedarvede regel«: Kun videnskabelige kvalifikation...
