Danmark

Nationalisme og danskhed IDUN, Afdeling for dansk og svensk, Osaka Universitet for Internationale studier 1999 I Et spøgelse går gennem Europa. Det er nationalismen, som mange havde skrevet nekrolog over efter to verdenskrige. I 1914 skrev Carl Nielsen i et brev: "At den materielle Verden ødelaegges, og at Menneskene myrder hinanden er jo slemt, men for intet at regne imod det frygtelige Faktum, at Tankens og Aandens Maend i Europa har mistet deres Forstand, er blevne vanvittige. Nationalfølelsen, der hidtil var anset for noget højt og smukt, er bleven som en aandelig Syphilis der har opaedt Hjernerne og griner ud gennem de tomme Øjenhuler i sindssvagt Had." [Jørgen I. Jensen, s.317]. Skyldes krigen i Jugoslavien for megen bevidsthed om nationale vaerdier-eller tvaertimod, at der er gået betaendelse i disse fortraengte vaerdier: efter årtiers tvungne samliv mellem forskellige folk? Er laeren for Europa, at harmoniseringen skal gå endnu hurtigere, langsommere-eller slet ikke gå? Sådanne spørgsmål-i 'internationaliseringens' malstrøm-er en del af baggrunden for disse års interesse for det nationale. I naervaerende essay vil jeg ikke besvare dem, ej heller gentage historikernes redegørelser (fx Dansk Identitetshistorie, C.A. Reitzels Forlag, 1991-92). Mit udgangspunkt er de principielle overvejelser, jeg som udlandslektor i dansk gør mig om vor tids kulturmøder. Samtidig har jeg villet samle nogle tanker fra min laesning. Bevidsthed om det nationale er jo et intersubjektivt faenomen, et kor af mange stemmer. II. Kulturmøder "Du synes jo også, at dansk kultur er bedst", sagde en student engang lidt irriteret, da vi i en kulturtime talte om nogle muslimske udlaendinge i Danmark, der kraevede adskilt undervisning for maend og kvinder-som i deres egen kultur. Mit spontane, lidt for enkle, svar lød: "Ja, i Danmark".

In the flood of metal artefacts received by the National Museum of Denmark due to private metal detecting, some stand out more than others due to their enigmatic appearance. One such item is a circular domed object of silver, almost 3 cm in diameter, found 2018 in Tune, south of Copenhagen. Although damaged, the artefact is distinguished by its enticing decorations with bird-like creatures. It is not entirely clear what the function of this stud may have been, or its date, but here we offer some suggestions.

I och med kriget mellan Sverige och Danmark 1657-1660 förändrades för alltid ländernas geografiska omfattning. Kriget innebar också att viktiga delar av det som en gång var ett centralområde i det danska riket plötsligt blev utkantsområde i det svenska. Grymheter i form av våld och plundringar drabbade civilbefolkningen i dessa område under lång tid framåt. Även i det som i dag fortfarande är Danmark led befolkningen oerhört. Artikeln är från den bok "Spelet om Skåne", som utgavs i samband med en stor utställning på Malmö museer år 1993.

The Royal Library in Copenhagen contains a small collection of illuminated single leaves and cuttings. Their provenance varies, but with few exceptions most of them have entered the library in fairly recent times, in the 1950s and 1960s.
A single illuminated leaf of considerable importance carries a large, full-page miniature with a “Resurrection” signed by Apollonio de’ Bonfratelli, who from 1556 was the official illuminator of the Sistine Chapel and Sacristy in the Vatican. According to the library accession register it was bought in 1959 from the British  antiquarian and bibliophile Alan G. Thomas. The Copenhagen miniature is an important addition to the relatively small oeuvre of Apollonio. For stylistic reasons this miniature can be placed in the period of Pius V’s popedom (1566–1572).
Two single illuminated leaves once belonged to a precious Breviary  executed for Leonello d’Este, Marquis of Ferrara between 1441 and 1450. The interesting history of the Breviary is fairly well known. Many of the leaves of the Breviary have decorations with filigree and flowers as the two in Copenhagen here attributed to Giorgio d’Alemagna.

Forskning i danske frikirker er et forholdsvist 'ungt felt', og det er begraenset, hvor mange undersøgelser, som kaster lys over de nutidige danske frikirker. Derfor har Studiecenter for Menighedsbaseret Teologi (SCMT) i 2020 påbegyndt et 10-årigt projekt for at indsamle data om danske frikirker. Det følgende er en præsentation af de indsamlede data fra 2020. Ambitionen er, at som årene går og tal om frikirkerne bliver flere, at der vil begynde at tegne sig et tydeligere faktuelt billede af de danske frikirker.

This book has two scholarly goals. The first one is the introduction of Scandinavian subject matter to the scholarly studies of culture in Poland. It is also meant to introduce a cultural-studies perspective to Polish Scandinavian studies, where philological and linguistic issues have prevailed over socio-cultural and area approaches. It is also an answer to the proposition of a geo-cultural reorientation of imagination in Polish symbolic culture and the humanities, initially formulated by Przemysław Czapliński (Poruszona mapa – A moved map). So far, the Nordic countries have been missing from Poland's perception of its cultural neighbourhood. The Baltic Sea border oddly makes an impression of being significantly less important than the European land borders; it does not lead to the formation of cultural frontiers, nor does it set the vertical axis (North-South) against the over-exploited horizontal axis (East-West). The author attempts to fill this gap in a two-fold way. His choice of the area for research is also significant: Denmark is chosen over Sweden (which usually attracts the bulk of attention Poles dedicate to Nordic countries) or Norway (which only recently began to appear in the media discourse). Denmark is present in Polish scholarly research to only a very limited extent, including research in other fields of knowledge which employ sources in Danish and/or other Scandinavian languages (sociology, history, political sciences).

The secondary scholarly goal of this book is to problematise the cultural neighbourship of Poland and Denmark, which is bilaterally overlooked, neglected, or even denied. Even the trivial fact of sharing the same national colours eludes the representatives of both communities. This shared factor, is rhetorically referred to in the title, in order to bring attention to the similarities and the unexploited facets of intercultural understanding, such as patriotism, the influence of war experience and loss of territories, the co-operatives traditions in Danish and Polish societies, etc. The author makes the assumption, that the success of intercultural communication is achieved via the interaction of reflective and colloquial cultures (to use Bronisław Baczko's terms). I put forward the thesis, that the neighbourship of Poland and Denmark in the cultural sphere is incidental nature and manifests itself in episodes. Cultural communication between Denmark and Poland is not characterised by its intensity, but rather burdened by disruptions, gaps, and automatisms. The Baltic, an inland sea (the “Mediterranean Sea of northern Europe”), removes both societies from one another more than it brings them together.

The monograph presents the final results of research carried out as a part of the individual grant of the National Science Centre (UMO-2012/07/D/HS2/03640) and is the result of intensive research stays in the Kingdom of Denmark in the years 2013-2016.

Artiklen analyserer en række værker, hvis tema er de nordiske gudinder, der kendes som nornerne, og søger at identificere en sammenhæng mellem dette motiv og nationalistiske og politiske idealiserede forestillinger om Danmarks mytiske fortid. Undersøgelsen bygger på tegninger, raderinger og malerier af Johannes Wiedewelt, C.W. Eckersberg, Herman Ernst Freund og J.L. Lund, og omfatter en periode, der strækker sig fra 1780-1850.

The earliest use of malachite in Russian decorative art can be dated to the last ten years of the 18th century into the first twenty years of the 19th century.  This span is particularly/extremely interesting for research, firstly, as a time of invention and mastery of new technical methods. Secondly, this period was marked by numerous cross-cultural exchanges. The present article summarizes the research, beginning with an analysis of the rarest signed and dated works of Russian malachite of the 1810s.
Square tazzas, popular in late Antiquity, were completely forgotten before the archeological excavations of the mid-18th century, and regained favor in the art of Neoclassicism and Empire. In Russian decorative arts those vase forms migrated in the early 19th century via European illustrated books depicting archeological objects or providing sources for artists, in publications by by Caylus (1762) et Beauvallet (1804-1807) in France and by Schinkel (1821-1830) in Germany.
The attribution of the magnificent, large square tazza with a high foot from the collection of the House of Hesse Cultural Foundation and exhibited at the Fasanerie Castle in Fulda, is published for the first time in this article.  Researching the history of this piece required technical analysis of its production and retracing the history of the tazza’s ownership?  Studying the signature on the tazza’s base allowed it to be linked to information in an article published in 1820.  Thankfully, it was then possible to establish the names of the master and vendor: The St Petersburg based Italian artist Supan, his Russian pupil Fedor Mikhailovitch Shoubin, and a French dealer of art and rarities Robert Philipot.
The transfer of the tazza (from the Russian workshop, via Copenhagen’s palaces to an East German castle) reflects the political and diplomatic activity of Russia and demonstrates the development of the fashion for Russian malachite. The dissemination of interest in Russian malachite in this case is attributed to the Danish Ambassador to the Russian court in 1804-1841, the Landgraf Otto von Blome and to Prince Friedrich Wilhelm von Hessen-Kassel-Rumpenheim, the spouse of Grand Duchess Alexandra Nicolaevna, whose happy marriage was tragically interrupted by the death of the young woman only eight months after the ceremony. Currently, the tazza is preserved in Fasanerie Castle – the summer residence of the prince’s second wife, Princess Anna of Prussia.

Det er ikke raketvidenskab at lave et karaktersystem, der tilgodeser 1) børn og unges mentale sundhed 2) almindelig logik, og som 3) er kompatibelt med ECTS.

Alt der kræves er blot en skala med et tilstrækkeligt antal karakterer med lige stor afstand imellem dem. Så er det reelt ligegyldigt, om man bruger bogstaver eller tal, og om man bruger pil op og ned eller plusser og minusser til at signalere nuancer i karaktergivningen.

På denne baggrund er det noget nær fantastisk, at danske lovgivere formåede at vedtage en karakterskala, som gav vores børn en dårligere hverdag, var ulogisk og som ikke engang passede fuldstændig sammen med den simple ECTS-skala, som den blev vedtaget for at passe sammen med.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a publicidade dinamarquesa "Do it for Denmark" como reafirmadora da identidade nacional em um momento de crise da cultura. A análise é realizada com o subsídio de conceitos desenvolvidos por Stuart Hall e Benedict Anderson, tais como o nacionalismo, as culturas nacionais, as comunidades imaginadas e a crise de identidade. A metodologia aqui utilizada é a análise de conteúdo. Palavras-chave: Identidade Cultural; Estratégias Publicitárias; Dinamarca. Introdução A Europa enfrenta o desafio da imigração que aumenta a cada dia 4. Na Dinamarca isso não é diferente, o país possui uma notável população de imigrantes formada principalmente por muçulmanos 5. Essa população, cada vez mais diversificada, aliada a baixa taxa de natalidade que a Dinamarca enfrenta, faz o país sofrer o que pode ser chamada de crise de identidade. Todas essas questões abrem espaço para discussões teóricas que englobam assuntos como o nacionalismo, as comunidades imaginadas e a própria crise de identidade. O presente artigo propõe o estudo da reafirmação cultural dinamarquesa em um momento de crise, através de uma publicidade do ramo turístico da Dinamarca. O comercial "Do it for Denmark", famoso por sua grande e polêmica repercussão mundial, foi escolhido como corpus da pesquisa. Nele podem ser identificados

The serial of IS terror attacks in Europe as well as the permanent flow of immigrants and asylum- seekers from the Middle East without any passports or personal documents have forced Sweden and Denmark to close their borders in January 2016. After urgent meeting in Brussels the same month, the EU states have been encouraged to return the free movement status within their territories in short terms. The decision of the two Scandinavian countries can be recognized as opposition to the migration and security policies, currently taken by the European institutions.

De nordiske lande har i en årrække indtaget en særlig rolle i internationalt diplomati. På trods af deres status som småstater har de ofte indtaget markante positioner og opnået international indflydelse. Med udgangspunkt i den såkaldte smartstatstilgang til internationalt diplomati besvarer artiklen tre spørgsmål: Hvad karakteriserer de nordiske landes tilgang til internationalt diplomati? Hvordan adskiller denne type af diplomati sig fra traditionelt småstatsdiplomati? Hvad kan vi lære af de nordiske diplomatiske erfaringer med smart diplomati i international politik?

Problemet med Jespersens definition af parallelsamfund er, at anything goes. Alt kan nærmest gøres til et parallelsamfund; soldaterfællesskaber, Christiania, riges boligområder og sikkert mange andre fællesskaber. Konsekvensen er, at nærmest alle fællesskaber i Danmark kan være parallelle til det omgivende majoritetssamfund. Men hvis næsten alle fællesskaber kan være parallelle til samfundet, hvad består majoritetssamfundet så af?
