Bøger af Anne Eriksen

Lorraine Daston er en af vor tids største videnskabshistorikere. Hendes studier er kendetegnet ved at fokusere på det, der traditionelt har været betragtet som uvedkommende for naturvidenskaberne: Følelser, moralitet, æstetik eller sågar monstre og engle. Derudover har hun demonstreret historiciteten ved ellers hævdvundne idéer som objektivitet og natur.I dette nummer af SLAGMARK undersøges denne udvidede videnskabshistorie, som Daston selv har foreslået at benævne videnshistorie. Udover et interview med Daston om “Videnskabshistoriens fremtid” og en oversættelse af Dastons artikel “Videnskabshistorie og videnshistorie” indeholder nummeret fire artikelbidrag, der alle finder inspiration i Dastons videnshistoriske metode. Fra oversættelsen af levende træer til målbar skovdrift i 1800-tallets Danmark over kolonialhistoriske arkivpraksisser i Danmarks Nationale Herbarium og den historiske kontingens i erkendelsen af dybhavets forunderlige skabninger til H.C. Ørsteds fremmaning af oldtidens ånder i digtsamlingen Luftskibet. Disse forskellige perspektiver understreger bredden i Dastons bidrag til historievidenskaberne.Med SLAGMARK #87 præsenterer vi forskellige bud på, hvordan Lorraine Dastons studier kan inspirere og informere ny forskning. Foruden interview, oversættelse af Dastons artikel og fire artikelbidrag indeholder nummeret endvidere tre anmeldelsesessays. Et oplagt nummer til såvel nye som gamle Daston-kendinge!

Climate Change Temporalities explores how various timescales, timespans, intervals, rhythms, cycles, and changes in acceleration are at play in climate change discourses. It argues that nuanced, detailed, and specific understandings and concepts are required to handle the challenges of a climatically changed world, politically and socially as well as scientifically. Rather than reflecting abstractly on theories of temporality, this edited collection explores a variety of timescales and temporalities from narratives, experience, popular culture, and everyday life in addition to science and history - and the entanglements between them. The chapters are clustered into three main sections, exploring a range of genres, such as questionnaires, interviews, magazines, news media, television series, aquariums, and popular science books to critically examine how and where climate change understandings are formed. The book also includes chapters historising notions of climate and temporality by exploring scientific debates and practices.Climate Change Temporalities will be of great interest to students and scholars of humanistic climate change research, environmental humanities, studies of temporality and historicity, cultural studies, cultural history, and popular culture.

Eighteenth-century gentleman scholars collected antiquities. Nineteenth-century nation states built museums to preserve their historical monuments. In the present world, heritage is a global concern as well as an issue of identity politics. What does it mean when runic stones or medieval churches are transformed from antiquities to monuments to heritage sites? This book argues that the transformations concern more than words alone: They reflect fundamental changes in the way we experience the past, and the way historical objects are assigned meaning and value in the present. This book presents a series of cases from Norwegian culture to explore how historical objects and sites have changed in meaning over time. It contributes to the contemporary debates over collective memory and cultural heritage as well to our knowledge about early modern antiquarianism.
