History and Cultural Memory in Neo-Victorian Fiction

CC BY-NC-ND

History and Cultural Memory in Neo-Victorian Fiction combines innovative literary and historiographical analysis to investigate the way neo-Victorian novels conceptualise our relationship to the Victorian past, and to analyse their role in the production and communication of historical knowledge. Positioning neo-Victorian novels as dynamic participants in the contemporary historical imaginary, it explores their use of the Victorians' own vocabularies of history, memory and loss to re-member the nineteenth century today. While her focus is neo-Victorian fiction, Mitchell positions these novels in relation to debates about historical fiction's contribution to historical knowledge since the eighteenth century. Her use of memory discourse as a framework for understanding the ways in which they do lay claim to historical recollection, one which opens up a range of questions beyond historical fidelity on the one hand, and the problematics of representation on the other, suggests new ways of thinking about contemporary historical fiction and its prevalence, popular appeal, and nmnenonic function today.

Renegater

CC BY-NC-ND

This study focuses on two Swedish politicians, Nils Flyg and Sven Olov Lindholm. During the interwar era, they were both leaders of various Swedish political parties; in the case of Flyg the Swedish Communist Party, and later on the Socialist Party; in the case of Lindholm the National Socialist Workers Party (later renamed Swedish Socialist Unity). Both men were, in other words, influential politicians located at the outer edges of the ideological landscape. During the span of their lifetimes, however, Flyg as well as Lindholm made remarkable ideological transitions. From the end of the thirties and onwards, the former communist leader Flyg successively embraced German Nazism. Lindholm on the other hand stepped down from his leadership after the war, and became a left-wing political activist who did not hesitate to identify himself as a communist. Superficially, this is strikingly symmetric: The communist leader becomes a Nazi, and the Nazi leader becomes a communist. The aim of the study is to analyze the ideological links and tensions between Nazism and communism using these parallel biographies as a point of entrance. Inspired by political theorist Michael Freeden and his conceptual approach, and using a variety of sources, two core clusters of political concepts are identified and compared. It is shown that there are great similarities between Flyg and Lindholm when it comes to the role of anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism and the aspiration to idealize the Soviet Union or Germany as model states for workers. There are also, however, a number of differences, especially when it comes to views on modernity and materialism. In the final chapter, Flyg and Lindholm are compared to other European renegades. Here, the ambition is to identify common traits in the conversions. It is argued that the ideological antagonisms, the anti-positions, are crucial to this kind of generic renegadism. *** Denna bok handlar om de svenska mellankrigstidspolitikerna Nils Flyg och Sven Olov Lindholm. Under tiden mellan vrldskrigen var de bda ledare fr varsitt politiskt parti. Flyg var ordfrande fr Sveriges Kommunistiska Parti, sedermera kallat Socialistiska Partiet. Lindholm var under samma period ledare fr Nationalsocialistiska Arbetarpartiet, sedermera omdpt till Svensk Socialistisk Samling. De var med andra ord inflytelserika politiker p varsin ideologisk flank. Under sina respektive liv kom de dock att gra uppseendevckande ideologiska frflyttningar. Flyg kom frn andra halvan av 30-talet och framt att alltmera ppet omfamna den tyska nazismen. Lindholm sin sida lade ner sitt parti efter krigsslutet och kallade sig med tiden ppet fr kommunist. D Flyg och Lindholm stlls sida vid sida freligger allts en slende symmetri: Kommunistledaren blir nazist och nazistledaren blir kommunist. Bokens syfte r att med utgngspunkt i dessa bda biografiska fall dissekera det ideologiska kraftfltet mellan kommunism och nazism. Med metodologisk inspiration frn den politiske teoretikern Michael Freeden och hans begreppsliga idanalys, samt ett brett kllunderlag, identifieras tv ideologiska krnkluster som sedan jmfrs. Likheter mellan Flyg och Lindholm fastsls, inte minst genom ett gemensamt antikapitalistiskt och antiimperialistiskt stllningstagande liksom en ambition att idealisera Sovjetunionen och Tyskland som mnsterstater fr arbetare. Till de skillnader som gr att identifiera hr inte minst olika synstt p materialism och modernitet. I ett avslutande kapitel jmfrs Flyg och Lindholm med samtida europeiska renegater, med ambitionen att identifiera gemensamma drag i dessa vergngsprocesser. Inte minst fokuseras hr den roll som det negativt uttryckta idinnehllet tycks spela i respektive omprvning. Academic co-ordinator is Lars M. Andersson, Senior Lecturer, History, Uppsala University: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1718-2448

Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Workers Around the World

CC BY-NC

Maritime trade is the backbone of the world’s economy. Around ninety percent of all goods are transported by ship, and since World War II, shipbuilding has undergone major changes in response to new commercial pressures and opportunities. Early British dominance, for example, was later undermined in the 1950s by competition from the Japanese, who have since been overtaken by South Korea and, most recently, China. The case studies in this volume trace these and other important developments in the shipbuilding and ship repair industries, as well as workers’ responses to these historic transformations.

Integration of Renewable and Distributed Energy Resources in Power Systems

CC BY

The electric power sector is poised for transformative changes. Improvements in the cost and performance of a range of distributed energy generation (DG) technologies and the potential for breakthroughs in distributed energy storage (DS) are creating new options for onsite power generation and storage, driving increasing adoption and impacting utility distribution system operations. In addition, changing uses and use patterns for electricity—from plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) to demand response (DR)—are altering demands placed on the electric power system. Finally, the infusion of new information and communications technology (ICT) into the electric system and its markets is enabling the collection of immense volumes of data on power sector operations and use; unprecedented control of generation, networks, and loads; and new opportunities for the delivery of energy services. In this Special Issue of Energies, research papers on topics related to the integration of distributed energy resources (DG, DS, EV, and DR) are included. From technologies to software tools to system-wide evaluations, the impacts of all aforementioned distributed resources on both operation and planning are examined.

Relational Religion

CC BY-NC-ND

Håkon Naasen Tandberg explores how, when, and why humans relate to the non-human world. Based on two ethnographic fieldworks among the Parsis in Mumbai, the research focuses on the role of temple fires in the lives of present-day Parsi Zoroastrians in India as an empirical case. Through four ethnographic portraits, the reader will get a deeper look into the lives of four Parsi individuals, and how their individual biographies, personalities, and interhuman relationships, along with religious identities and roles, shape—and to a certain extent are shaped by—their personal relationships with non-human entities. The book combines affordance theory, exchange theory, and social support to analyze such relationships, and offers suggestive evidence that relationships with non-human entities—in this case the Zoroastrian temple fires—can be experienced as no less real, important, or meaningful than those with other human beings.This book is made open access as part of the Knowledge Unlatched KU Open Services
