Det här är berättelsen om det som händer bakom rubrikerna, men samtidigt överallt runtomkring oss. Om bankinfiltration och korruption, om bedrägerier och utpressning. Och om en organisationsform som visat sig vara extremt livskraftig i den kriminella miljön: Klanen.[Bokinfo]

Samvetet, skrev 1500-talsförfattaren Michel de Montaigne, har en fantastisk kraft! Det kan få oss att anklaga och strida mot oss själva - och det ser oss när ingen annan gör det. Men det kan också göra oss starka. I samma anda har författare och tänkare som Shakespeare, Luther, Hegel, de Gouges och många andra lyft fram samvetet: det ger upphov till inre konflikter och är samtidigt en kompass som vi inte kan vara utan. Men samvetet är inget vi hyllar idag. Istället söker vi harmoni och inre frid. Det är åtminstone vad den stora självhjälpsindustrin lär ut åt oss. Och det går utmärkt väl ihop med en tidsanda som tycks allt mer brutal och samvetslös; i olika medier, i politiken och ekonomin. Det gäller att vara tvärsäker, enhetlig och övertygad, inte ha "second thoughts". Samvetet verkar på många sätt hopplöst förlegat. Så hur mår det idag? Har det förlorat sin kraft? Det är den fråga Cecilia Sjöholm ställer i den här boken. Genom att söka efter samvetets plats i filosofin och konsten genom historien hamnar hon här och nu. Finns samvetet i oss själva som individer, i den samhälleliga gemenskapen, eller någonstans mitt emellan?

It is well known that Sweden once had a state institute for racial biology, as well as that extensive racial research was conducted in Sweden during the first decades of the 20th century. But what actually happened to Swedish race research after the 1930s - did it just disappear?
In The science that disappeared? historian Martin Ericsson conducts the first systematic survey of Swedish race research from the mid-1930s to the early 1970s. It is a story of a racial science that survived the horrors of World War II and endured longer than we might like to believe as criticism grew in the post-war period. And about the Norwegian Institute for Racial Biology, which was never shut down, but lived on in a different form and under a different name.
Ericsson shows that there was not a single Swedish racial research tradition, but two. One was based on the first director of the Institute of Racial Biology, Herman Lundborg, and had clear connections to Nazism and other extreme right-wing movements. The second can be said to be based on Lundborg's successor Gunnar Dahlberg and was instead anti-Nazi and in some cases even anti-racist. But both traditions agreed that there were different human races and that it made sense to try to measure differences between them.
By following the Swedish race research until the end of the 20th century, the book also raises important questions about our own time and its interest in ""origin"" and ""descent"". How fundamentally different are today's dna analyzes from the old racial research traditions? What if we risk asking the same questions as 1930s racial biology stuck with new techniques?

When Anna Johanna Grill travelled from Sweden to England in 1788, she was impressed by the vast array of consumer goods in shops. In her travel diary, she writes how the shopkeepers displayed goods in myriad of ways that fooled people into shopping. How did shops look like in Anna Johanna Grill's hometown Stockholm in the eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century? Were there distinctive shopping streets? Who sold goods, who shopped them and what goods were available? How were goods displayed in shops and marketed? How households act in organising their purchases and consumption?
From a microhistorical case studies, this richly illustrated anthology widens the perspective to social, economic and cultural practices in everyday urban life. The chapters demonstrate how shopping streets and shops with their range of silk fabrics, accessories, fashion plates, blacksmithing, wigs and hair pomades not only met the desires of consumers, but also enabled dreams of novel identities and social accession for themselves and their families.

Among the literature aimed at students of art science and other image-interpreting sciences are a number of texts that deal with theories and theoretical concepts. However, what is largely missing, and which students often call for, are texts in Swedish that show how theories and concepts can be applied in concrete interpretation situations. The series Theoretical applications in art science aims to fill that gap, with the book Materiality being the fourth in the series.
The book introduces and activates a concept that in recent decades has come to take an increasingly important place in humanistic research. Art scholars - but also archaeologists, anthropologists, literary scholars, ethnologists and other humanistic researchers - are increasingly interested in the material conditions for, and the manifestations of, people's social and cultural life and exchange. But despite its topicality in today's scientific conversation, the concept of materiality can seem elusive and elusive. It moves all the way from the most tangible analyzes of the material components of a cultural artefact, to the somewhat impenetrable theorizations of objectivity, agents and networks that are usually sorted under the label ""new materialism"".
However, the book Materialitet gives concrete examples of how the concept of materiality can open up interpretations of important layers of meaning in works of art and other cultural artifacts. After the initial introduction where different perspectives and conceptualisations of materiality are discussed, six researchers each do their own analysis based on their subject area. The chapters are based on new research and are written specifically for this book. The different chapters together show the multifaceted nature of the concept of materiality, but do not lock it down to a definition, but open the eyes to a number of different interpretive paths.
