Sports hall construction caught between the profession, politics and the purseThis article looks at the political processes that from 1948 onwards led to the eventual construction of Aabenraa Swimming Pool and Sports Centre in the period 1971-73. The article concludes that it was the persistent demands of local people effectively supported by sporting organisations that at several crucial points made local politicians work towards the establishment of a swimming pool and in the end of a sports centre. As a result of the very slow political decision-making process, the politicians’ wishes and requirements for a swimming pool were overtaken not only by technological developments but also by the increasing demands of the welfare state for public bathing facilities, and this led in the mid-1960s to a violent schism in the town council. While at the end of the 1950s open air bathing and swimming pools could be regarded as providing the basic framework for elementary swimming instruction to prevent people drowning at the seaside, swimming pools developed during the 1960s into the welfare state’s alternative to public beaches. When in 1968 it at last became possible to unite the different views as to the purpose of the swimming pool, Friluftsloven (the Open Air Act) of the same year ended up playing a central role in the construction and maintenance of the centre. This, combined with ideologically based requirements that sport should be party to financing the construction of sports centres, still plays a decisive role today in determining the degree to which sports associations can make more substantial sporting investments in, for example, competitive sport.

Kvindegymnastik, scenisk dans og kvinders medborgerskab i 1920erne og 1930erne
Authors: Poulsen Anne Lykke , Vedel Karen
Published: February 2018

Artiklen undersøger forholdet mellem dans og kvindegymnastik i et historisk perspektiv. En analyse af Agnete Bertrams kvindegymnastik og Jenny Møllers dans danner artiklens fundament for diskussion af dans og gymnastik som arenaer for kvinders medborgerskab.Karen Vedel, Anne Lykke Poulsen: Woman Gymnastics, Scenic Dance and Women’s Citizenship in the 1920ies and 1930iesThe purpose of this article is to examine the historical overlap between scenic dance and woman’s gymnastics in Denmark in the interwar period. The point of departure was acknowledgment of the apparent similarities between two women who at this time were established as agents in the two different cultural fields of scenic dance and woman’s gymnastics. The first woman was the choreographer, dancer and dance-pedagogue Jenny Møller (1892- 1952), who established a private dance institute that offered classes for children and adult women, both amateurs and professionals and besides offered teacher training for dance-pedagogues. The other woman was the gymnastics teacher Agnete Bertram (1983-1983), who also established a private gymnastics institute for women including a teacher training course in her specific approach to woman’s gymnastics. Each of the women had exceptional positions in their different fields and both of them had due to their pedagogical efforts a significant influence at their time. An analysis of Jennny Møller’s and Agnete Bertram’s ideas of the relations between movement and femininity leads to a determination of their positions in their respective fields. The two forms of body culture are then discussed as genres, characterising gymnastics as bodily exercises referring to one or several standards for correct performance, whereas dance is defined as art in its own right and as aesthetic expression where the exercises are more a means than an end. As we intend to understand the two pedagogues in at cultural and social context the scenic dance and woman’s gymnastics is finally discussed as arenas for practising and enhancing the female citizenship.
"Det løser sig selv". Skandinavisk idrætslederes indstilling til ligestilling
Authors: Habermann Ulla , Ottesen Laila Susanne , Skirstad Berit , Pfister Gertrud
Published: February 2018

Artiklen undersøger ligestillingsdebatten og -holdninger i de skandinaviske lande med særligt fokus på repræsentationen af kvinder på ledende poster i idrættens verden.Ulla Habermann, Laila Ottesen, Gertrud Pfister, Berit Skirstad: »It will solve itself« (?) – On the Attitudes of Scandinavian Sports Managers to Equal OpportunitiesThe authors of this article have been jointly involved in an international research project entitled »Women at the Top«, the aim of which was to document and analyse the reasons why (Scandinavian) women are underrepresented in leadings posts in the world of sport. Identical surveys were conducted among sports managers in Norway, Sweden and Denmark – both men and women were part of the study. During the research period we have been struck by the apparently very different reactions and attitudes to the issue of equal opportunities in the three Scandinavian countries which otherwise are regarded as being very similar societies. This article examines what could be the factors that cause these differences. Our conclusion is that even if the typical sports manager can be said to possess a very uniform profile (age, gender, education, income and family relations) in all three Scandinavian countries, the issue of equal opportunities ( in sport management) is not only perceived but also solved in different ways. Denmark stands out as the country in which interest in equal opportunities is apparently most »relaxed« or »indifferent «, and where men often are more positive to changes than women. In Sweden the sport managers (men as well as women) show much more »political correctness « in their answers, whereas in Norway amore marked feminist attitude towards the issue divides men and women. In Norway and Sweden there seems to be more awareness than in Denmark of structural explanations (such as power relations and traditions) for the lack of women in sports management. And the Norwegian case in particular shows how initiative such as quota schemes can have a positive effect on attitudes to equal opportunities – or perhaps vice versa.
Fodbold i grænselandet. Kampen for ungdommen og illegalt arbejde i Tønder frem til 1945
Authors: Hansen Jørn
Published: February 2018

Artiklen beskriver fodboldspillets rolle i grænselandet, for fastholdelsen af det danske sindelag for en befolkning, der var udsat for såvel tysk som dansk kulturel sindelagspåvirkning. 

 

Jørn Hansen: Football in the border region. The struggle for the youth and illegal work in Tønder until 1945

On November 18th 1944 Aage Buhl Rosenkjær died in a German work-camp for prisoners of war in Svesing near Husum. In 1920 Rosenkjær had been appointed as a teacher at Tønder State School, one of the new Danish ‘gymnasiums’ or high schools that were established after 1920 in Danish market towns. It was Rosenkjær’s activities as a teacher of ball games and gymnastics and his community work as voluntary head of Tønder Sports Association and Tønder County Athletics Association that left significant marks on the small border community in Tønder. His interest in sport and his sympathies for Denmark lead to an involvement in work with young people, which during the course of the 1930s developed into a battle between proponents of Danish and German sympathies in the recruitment of young people. The article takes a closer look at the role of football and Rosenkjær in the border region in retaining and extending Danish sympathies in relation to a population that was exposed to both German and Danish national consciousness. This is an influence in which – as far as the formation of national identity is concerned – sports history has most often accorded a decisive role to gymnastics and German »turnen« (gymnastics). However, particular circumstances relating to the border region meant that football played a more decisive role for those who were to choose a national standpoint.
Dream Team Slagelse; historik og kommunalpolitik

Artiklen sætter fokus på historikken og spørgsmålet om, hvorfor Anja Andersens Dream Team blev placeret i Slagelse, samt hvilken betydning holdet har haft for byen. 

 

Rune Lundberg: DreamTeam in Slagelse – history and municipal politics

In the fall of 2006 Anja Andersen proclaimed, that by the end of 2007 she would leave her position as coach for the, at that time, best women’s handball team in the World – the Slagelse Dream Team. In a period of less than 6 years she had turned a second division handball team into one of the worlds most successful. An era was about to end, but what impact had the Dream Team had on the city of Slagelse? What imprints did she leave behind and how would the club, the municipality and the local community handle her absence? The Museum of Southwest Zealand set out to investigate and document the last 6 years with Slagelse Dream Team, as it poses a very important period of modern day history in the Region. The article focuses on the circumstances that led to the funding of an elite handball team in Slagelse and how this has affected the community on a political level.

Når sport og motion bliver et spørgsmål om fysisk aktivitet
Authors: Pilgaard Maja
Published: February 2018

I artiklen undersøges hvorfor forskellen mellem andelen der i Danskernes motions- og sportsvaner siger at de dyrker sport eller motion og andelen der siger at de har dyrket mindst én aktivitet regelmæssigt indenfor det seneste år, er blevet mere markant siden 1993, samt i hvilke aktiviteter uoverensstemmelserne primært opstår i 2007.Quantitative research on sports participation among the Danish population has been conducted seven times between 1964 and 2007. The current study aims to find a better understanding of the ways the respondents reply to different questions about their sports participation. From the analysis it becomes clear, that the respondents reply very inconsistent according to the ways of asking. This inconsistency has grown remarkably within the last decades and men and people with short education levels tend to answer with more inconsistency than other population groups. The study discusses the impact of health interventions and an increased focus on physical activity as a cause of greater variety among the subjective understandings of sport and exercise – and thereby a change in the populations individual understanding of sport and exercise. Further the study suggests a greater consciousness about the purpose of these kinds of surveys when conducting them, because it has great influence in the following analysis from which perspective the design arises.
Den svenska idrottspolitikens två sidor. Några reflektioner om statens stöd till idrotten och svensk välfärdspolitik
Authors: Norberg Johan R.
Published: February 2018

Artiklen omhandler den svenske idrætspolitik og giver indblik i statens støtte til idrætten med paralleler til den generelle svenske velfærdspolitik. The article gives a characterization of Swedish sports policy in relation to Swedish welfare policies. The analysis is divided between two main lines. First, I argue that sport in several aspects can be seen as an integral part of Swedish welfare policy. Thereafter, I emphasize differences with the result that sport can also be described as a deviant and »unimportant« area of government policy, albeit with a remarkable ability to allocate public resources. Finally, I argue that the Swedish government’s sports policy in recent years lost much of its former character as a divergent »side-track« in Swedish welfare policies. Thus, sport has strengthened its position – but to the cost that sport as an area of government policy has become more traditional and predictable.
Idræt og velfærdspolitik. En teoretisk diskussion af autonomibegrebet.
Authors: Thing Lone Friis , Ottesen Laila
Published: February 2018

En teoretisk diskussion af autonomibegrebet. This article discusses the boundaries between sports governance and government policy in the Danish welfare state and sheds new light on the concept of autonomy. The formerly liberal Danish government’s public health programme (2002-2010) specifies a wish for social involvement and cooperation between the public and the voluntary sector. Governmental conception is that health political subjects and social issues are a challenge which the community solidarity-based non-governmental sports association should take the responsibility for, e.g. by offering comprehensive options for people with no tradition for physical activity. This paper will in a sociological way, with the use of an Eliasian process analytical perspective and a governmentality perspective (Elias 1970, Dean 2006), discuss the enabling and constraining possibilities of the political relations. Themes like the autonomy of sports organisations/ associations will be included in order to discuss the possible significance in the future of a partnership between the public and the voluntary sector. Should sport contribute some specific welfare ideological values or should it simply unfold a more general health promotion pedagogic effort? In line with Eliasian thinking it will be highligh ted that sport always has been part of, and always could be seen as a (body) political scenario. There is a changing relation between autonomy versus heteronomy of stakeholders in sports governance, but what is the new thing in the unfolded political involvement? By doing an analytical empirical investigation, the paper focuses upon the fact that the concept of shared responsibility and interdependence between sport and society has a long historical tradition – in Denmark.
Fodbold som velfærd 1934 -1995: Mellem moralsk opbyggelighed og forretning
Authors: Olsen David Holt
Published: February 2018

Artiklen belyser med afsæt i Joanne Martins organisationsteori velfærdssamfundet som en kulturelt og moralsk projekt i forhold til fodboldbevægelsen.In 1995 a rather unnoticed revolution occurred in Danish football. The future famous Danish football agent Karsten Aabrink agreed to make investments in the newly established football club FC Copenhagen provided that decisive changes regarding the division of stakes took place. His requirement was that the share of 50% which each of the founding clubs, B1903 and Københavns Boldklub, held, was reduced to 30% whereby they would lose their deciding holdings. As a consequence, businessmen were now able to work more unrestrained than previously. The article argues that the reason why this could happen in 1995 without any noticeable objection was not rooted in economic explanations, but rather had to do with the cultural factors expressed in the narratives of amateur gentleman football that evolved around the football movement from the 1930s and onwards. Furthermore, the article argues that the entire football movement was embedded in a political consensus on the macro level regarding the construction of the welfare state and thereby creating path dependence, which made it very difficult to implement professional football.

Parkour – at skabe steder med kroppen
Authors: Larsen Signe Højbjerre
Published: February 2018

Parkour – a placemaking practiceParkour is a relatively new movement-culture that has evolved rapidly in Denmark since 2005. In the academic field of scholarly work on parkour the movement-culture has been interpreted as a subversive bodily strategy for the subject to handle architecture, space and power. The movements of the traceurs are being ”read” for their cultural significance on a discursive level. The traceurs does not follow the social norms for how to move in public places, but balances on the back of benches, jumps over rails and crawls down stairs. In Denmark the interpretation of the movements of parkour as a critical practice meets oppositions. The first specialized facility for parkour was built in 2007 in cooperation with both the peoples academy ”Gerlev Idrætshøjskole” and practitioners of parkour. Today over 47 facilities for parkour exist. A problem lies within present studies’ point of departure which stems from abstract ideas about the city and political resistance instead of departuring in the bodily practice. What do the practioners actually do, when they practice parkour? This article seeks to answer this particular question and tries to do so based on the authors own experience and ethnographic fieldwork with practitioners in their daily training. Parkour is played out in the streets as well as in specialized facilities. What binds these places together and constitute parkour as a movement-culture, is a dynamic pattern of movements and a practical knowledge about the spatial and adaptive dimensions of these. These movements and the knowledge are incorporated into the bodies of the practitioners. By utilizing a theory of affordance by James Gibson and Polanyi’s concept of tacit knowledge the dynamic pattern can be understood as perceptual skills that opens up a new relation to the surroundings; in urban spaces as well as specialized facilities.
’Tilgængelighed’ til idræt for børn i udsatte boligområder
Authors: Ibsen Bjarne , Fehsenfeld Michael
Published: February 2018

The accessibility to sport within socially deprived residential areasThe aim of the analysis is to highlight the significance of ‘accessibility’ to sport for children’s sports participation in deprived residential areas. A distinction is made between three dimensions of ‘accessibility’: Physical accessibility, organizational accessibility and psychological accessibility. The analysis is based on a comprehensive study of sport participation and sports facilities in six deprived neighborhoods. The study includes children’s responses to a questionnaire, observations and interviews. As regards the physical accessibility the analysis cannot identify a clear correlation between the number of facilities in or close to the residential area and the proportion of children who participate in sport. The study however shows that physical closeness to major facilities like swimming pool and multi-purpose indoor facilities have a significant impact on the participation in sport. The analysis of the organizational accessibility shows very clearly that participation in sport in an association depends on the existence of sport clubs near residential area. It is perhaps not surprising, but it’s probably much more important for the children of parents who do not have many resources and do not know associational life – and therefore not are able to help the children to go to sport in clubs outside the residential area. The psychological accessibility, ie. the experience of a sports facility as safe place, seems to depend on whether the place where the facility is located, is perceived as a safe place. Facilities at schools and sports clubs that kids feel great confidence in, are perceived as safer than facilities, which the children do not know well and primarily use for self-organized activities.

Bevægelse i dagtilbud
Authors: Munksgaard Kristian Fahnøe , Skovgaard Thomas , Larsen Lisbeth Runge
Published: February 2018

På legepladsen, i motorikrummet eller på gangene i et dansk dagtilbud støder man helt sikkert på børn, der løber, hopper, tumler eller triller frem og tilbage og ind i mellem hinanden. Det er der mange grunde til at glædes over, og samtidig arbejde for at endnu flere får en fysisk aktiv hverdag i dagtilbud. Det er nemlig sådan, at bevægelse fremmer børns glæde (Sørensen, 2012), og bevægelse har gavnlige effekter på motorisk udvikling, psykosocial sundhed ogkognition hos børn i 0-6 års alderen (Sundhedsstyrelsen, 2016).

Louis Dumont: Verdensforsagelse, hierarki og renhed
Authors: Aktor Mikael
Published: February 2018

English Abstract: This brief article reviews two main contributions by the French sociologist Louis Dumont, his essay “World Renunciation in Indian Religions” and his major work on the Indian caste system, Homo Hierarchicus. Some of the critique of Dumont’s ideas about renunciation, hierarchy and purity is discussed with special focus on three points: (1) The creative role of renunciation in the history of Hinduism; (2) the Indian caste system as a hierarchy regulated according to ritual purity and the alternative model by A. M. Hocart of the Indian society as a ritual organization; and (3) theoretical discussions regarding the need to go beyond the purity-impurity dichotomy and integrate another opposition, that between the auspicious and the inauspicious, in order to develop a more precise analytical tool in the research of Hindu culture. Dansk resume: Denne korte artikel diskuterer to vigtige bidrag af den franske sociolog Louis Dumont, hans essay “World Renunciation in Indian Religions” og hans hovedværk om det indiske kastesystem, Homo Hierarchicus. Noget af den kritik, der blev rejst mod Dumonts ideer om verdensforsagelse, hierarki og renhed, diskuteres med særlig fokus på tre punkter: (1) Verdensforsagelsens kreative betydning for hinduismens udvikling; (2) Dumonts model af det indiske kastesystem som et hierarki reguleret i forhold til rituel renhed og A. M. Hocarts alternative model, der ser hindusamfundet som en rituel organisation koncentrisk centreret omkring kongen; (3) de teoretiske diskussioner om nødvendigheden af at supplere rent-urent dikotomien med endnu en dikotomi, nemlig mellem det lykke- og ildevarslende, for at udvikle et mere præcist analyseapparat i udforskningen af hinduismen.
Introduktion til Religionsvidenskabeligt Tidsskrift
Authors: Bilde Per , Geertz Armin W. , Jensen Hans J. Lundager
Published: February 2018

This editorial announces the founding of a new scientific journal in Denmark entitled Religionsvidenskabeligt Tidsskrift (“Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion”). The goal of the Journal is to create a forum of research, information and debate within the field of the humanistic, scientific study of religion. “Religionsvidenskabeligt” does not in any way refer to a particular school or a special area of the study of religion. It refers, in fact, to the holistic study of religions based upon rigorous, scientific methods. The subjects under study will be religions, world views and parareligious phenomena. The methods represented by the various contributions will span such diverging approaches as philology, phenomenology, history, psychology, semiotics, sociology and systematic philosophy. Our main concern here is confrontation between the various disciplines based upon themes chosen by the staff for each issue. An equally important concern is that of informing our readers concerning results from the study of religion. The Journal will therefore offer book reviews, review articles, informative notes and debate series. The audience intended for the Journal are teachers, scholars and students of the study of religion as well as scholars from other fields of study, theologians, priests and others interested in religion.
Den kristne grundfortællng
Authors: Bjerg Svend
Published: February 2018

The author answers his critics by discussing eight items. First, the category “the fundamental Christian story” is clarified; each person has only one fundamental Christian story, although many such stories occur throughout history. Second, Ole Davidsen is reminded that the aim of “Den Kristne Grundfortælling” (The Fundamental Christian Story) is a fundamental theology in which the relationship between story and reflection is already assumed. Third, it is pointed out to Peter Kemp that the scheme of the book establishes the narrative foundation for all criticism which of course neither excludes “criticism of consciousness” nor ethical criticism which is discussed in item four. Five to seven, Per Bilde’s criticism is considered to be out of place because he disregards that the problem posed in the book concerns the reality which the historical-critical method assumes, and not primarily the method itself. Eight, it is discussed whether Peter Kemp is correct in assuming that the symbol alone admits transcendence and criticism, a point which the author challenges. The author accepts along the way two critical objections raised by Jan Lindhardt.
Hvad kan vi lære af Grønbech?
Authors: Bilde Per
Published: February 2018

Nogle grundlæggende religionsvidenskabelige metodeovervejelser.Vilhelm Grønbech (1873-1948) is so far the most important and well-known Danish historian of religion. In 1987, Professor J. Prytz-Johansen published a new book on Grønbech, and this is the immediate occasion for this article which surveys Grønbech’s life and works, and the secondary literature on Grønbech before and including Prytz-Johansen. Its primary aim, however, is to describe Grønbech’s “project” and religio-social “method” – these are unsatisfactorily treated by Prytz-Johansen – in order to reflect on their validity for us today. The conclusion is, primarily, that we from Grønbech may learn that also the science of religion is a public, cultural and political affair, and, consequently, that we as scholars need to become aware of this fact and of the responsebility vis à vis our society which follows from this fact. Secondly, we may learn from Grønbech’s peculiar “method” of “objective subjectivity” or “subjective objectivity” and from his “holistic” approach to religion. Further, we may learn something from his ideas or definition of religion. And finally, it would be fortunate if we today could learn a little from Grønbech’s beautiful and straightforward way of presenting his results to the public. Consequently, there are good reasons not to forget Grønbech either in Denmark or abroad.
Dødens variation

Aztekisk dødekult og dødeforestillingerThe subject is dealt with in the light of Bernadino de Sahagun's extensive source material from the mi-sixteenth century, but in relation to the theoretical discussions and the use of the sources, I refer to previous works: The first argues for a separate land of the dead for children; and the second treats the social and religious importance of women in Aztec society. In the light of interpretations based on analyses of the interaction between the descriptions of ritual and myth, I describe the Aztec lands of the dead: Mictlan, Tlalocan, *Tonacatlan and Ichan tonatiu ilhujcac. Which land of de dead the individual was to reside in depended neither on social position nor on meritorious acts, but only the circumstances of the death, the funeral form and the ritual equipment ensured access to the right environment. Most adults went to Mictlan, children went to *Tonacatlan and people who died in connection with water went to Tlalocan. Ichan tonatiu ilhujcac (the home of the sun in the sky) was reserved for young women and men who died in active battle - for women active battle meant death in childbed and for men death in the heat of war or as victims on the enimies' sacrificial stone. The distance between life and death seems minimal in the Aztec world - the living made use of death and the dead.
To eller tre regimenter i den lutherske kaldsetik?
Authors: Stenbæk Jørgen
Published: February 2018

Udvikling og aktualitet i luthersk socialetikThe article is the result of researches into the catechetical tradition behind the Lutheran ethics of vocation. The interpretation of the fourth commandment in the Lutheran catechesis (“Honour thy father and thy mother”) forms the basis, but the main subject is the Lutheran doctrine of the three status, status ecclesiasticus, politicus and oeconomicus, interpreted as three fields of function, in which the Christian charity is to be practiced, according to the Lutheran tradition of social ethics. In the last part of the article a confrontation is made between the doctrine of the three status and the modern doctrine of human rights.
Mystik og ritual i transcendental meditation
Authors: Rothstein Mikael
Published: February 2018

After a brief description of the Transcendental Meditation movement (TM), the meditation-rituals of the group are analyzed, and it is shown how the mediations can be understood as some kind of a ritual drama. Although this type of ritual ususally implies a thorough knowledge of the mythological aspect, this is not always the case in TM. It is shown, however, that some participants quite aware, enact the cosmogonies known to innner-members through their conduct of collective meditation and the socalled TM-Sidhi programme (a rather advanced, esoteric meditation-discipline implying levitation and other occult phenomena). Through the meditation the participants establish the very same condition in their consciousness, as did the creator (Brahma) during His creation of the universe. It is believed that the meditators for that reason, eventually will be able to create literally, and that their practice upholds and renews creation. As the experience from the meditation practice obviously is an expression of mysticism implying an ongoing development of the meditator's consciousness, it is argued that the mystical experience is identical with the cosmogenic act, and that the meditation-ritual as such, therefore can be regarded as a ritual drama. The author recognixes the necessity for further elaboration of the myth/ritual framework, in order to make it even more suitable for his purpose.

Dansk nytestamentlig forskning i 1980'erne
Authors: Bilde Per
Published: February 2018

This survey is an attempt to contribute to a much needed discussion of how to improve the quality of Danish New Testament research with the overall aim to make it more attractive to a wider circle of educated Danish readers. In other words, this survey is meant as an attempt to call Danish New Testament scholars to a self-critical discussion of the ways and lines Danish New Testament research has taken in the 1980s wehre, in my opinion, it has lost some of its earlier contact with both the academics and the general Danish public. In the article, Danish New Testament scholarship in the 1980s (and, to some extent, also in the 1970s and 1960s) is surveyed and examined critically. the "medicine" which is suggested to "cure the disease" is - to a greater extent, and by using the results of other related disciplines - to place the various examinations and interpretations of the New Testament and christian beginnings in wider historical and cultural contexts.
Abildgaard, Bibelen og blasfemi
Authors: Bach-Nielsen Carsten
Published: February 2018

The Danish neoclassical painter Nicolai Abraham Abildgaard (1743-1809) received his artistic education in rome where he was influenced by the Swedish artist Sergei and the Swiss Fuseli. In 1777, he returned to Copenhagen where he became a professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. In Rome, he encountered the thoughts of the European Enlightenment, revolutionary thoughts and opinions he was to hold for the rest of his life. In Copenhagen, he turned out to be a most satirical critic of the institutions of the absolute monarchy and the state church. Since the Reformation, the Danish clergy has guarded the Lutheran principle of interpretation of the Bible as a field of their own in order to protect the lay reader from misreadings of the text. The enlightened theologians, artists and philosophers show a great effort to let anyone read the Bible just they was he desires. In a number of satirical, blasphemical and erotic drawings with biblical themes in The Royal Collection of Prints and Drawings in Copenhagen, Abildgaard shows how he chose to interpret some passages of the Bible that until then had been explained through reference to other parts of the Bible by the clergy. Abildgaard provokes by reading and showing the Biblical texts without the  guidance of the church's authorized interpretation - as documents of an ancient natural, raw, primitive but absolutely free society. the enlighted freedom of reading the Bible in one's own manner finds it counterpart in the popular magazines of theological criticism and satire of the 1790s.
Honningsøde Orfeus
Authors: Jensen Jeppe Sinding
Published: February 2018

As an example of the predominant trend in modern structuralist-influenced classical research on the myths of antiquity the interpretation of Marcel Detienne of the myth of “Honeyed Orpheus” found in the fourth Georgic of Virgil is reviewed in this survey-article, thereby demonstrating the usefulness of the structuralist approach. The occasion for this review is the publication in 1981 of a series of articles by the French structuralist historians and mythologists Detienne, Vidal-Naquet, Vernant and Gernet, where most of the articles have been made available, collected form various sources, and translated into English for the benefit of a large public.A short description of the method employed by Claude Lévi-Strauss in his work with myths is followed by examples of the critique that has been levelled against him. But the emphasis here is on the positive results gained by the insight into cultural contexts through the process of deciphering the archaic and classical myths that structural analysis can provide. But the conclusion remains that any attempt to read ancient myths must relate carefully to the philological and historical achievements of related disciplines to complement a full and exhaustive description of the semantic universes disclosed in the classical myths.
Hopi-indianernes kosmografiske forestillinger på tredie mesa, Arizona
Authors: Geertz Armin W.
Published: February 2018

Formålet med denne artikel har været at illustrere, at tidligere forsøg på at fortolke Hopi kosmologi postulerer en enkelhed, som det indfødte bevismateriale ikke tillader. At reducere alt til polar binære filer hverken er nyttigt eller tilrådeligt. Ved at koncentrere sig om kosmografi alene har jeg illustreret de involverede kompleksitet. Jeg har fundet ikke blot dualitet, men også flere variationer af verdens akser, verdens centre og modsatrettede verdener. Desuden ved kortvarigt at studere roller forfædres og katsinas' inden for de ceremonielle og rituelle sammenhænge, har jeg peget på to af de grundlæggende sammenhænge, der synes at integrere de forskellige kosmografiske modeller. Endelig har jeg antydet i mine konklusioner, hvor man kan lede efter de mulige årsager til sådanne divergerende kosmologiske modeller.

Keiserkult: fremmed kult i det romerske samfunn?
Authors: Håland Evy Johanne
Published: February 2018

It has been claimed that, originally, the divinity of the living emperor was alien to traditional Greek and Roman religion. This article tries to show that elements which are introduced with a foreign cult - the cult of the living emperor - may be latent in the traditional cult - the cult of the dead, the ancestor-cult, the need for a present benefactor and subsequently a cult to him - which then become relevant. The socalled foreign cult of the emperor, in this way, filled a gap. Even if this new god was foreign in relation to the traditional gods, i.e. his name, the essence in the cult might on the other hand be something which was aalready present. The way of approaching the problem is from a comparative analysis of ancient Graeco-Roman soiety and present-day society in southern Italy and Greece. The comparison is based on certain religious festivals.
De moribus persecutorum
Authors: Gradel Ittai
Published: February 2018

Om baggrunden for de romerske kristenforfølgelserGeneral remarks are presented on the subject of traditional Roman cults, and it is e.g. argued that the term "religion" is christianizing, and therefore usually leads to misunderstanding when applied to these cults, most clearly so in the field of emperor worship. This is symptomatic of the numerous methodological pitfalls involved in studying this phenomenon n particular and pagan Roman mentality in general. The conflict of the Roman state with Christianity is then dealt with and interpreted in the light of such traditionalist values as pietas and religio; it is argued that the all-decisive factors in Roman hostility towards Christians were not only the sect's exclusiveness but simply its novelty, which was in itself an abhorrence to traditionalist Roman mentality. On the basis of this interpretation, the edict of the emperor Decius demanding sacrifices to the gods appears difficult to explain in terms of traditional pagan piety; instead the edict is believed to have been aimed at Christianity from the very beginning.
Det kristne syn på den romerske badeinstitution
Authors: Nielsen Inge
Published: February 2018

The christian attitude to the baths and what took place in them is clearly expressed in moral issues: with respect to the church-fathers, who are the main sources here, it seems that most aspects of life in the baths were favoured by them, for only the mixed bathing and the luxuria generally called for intervention. The position of the bath institution in urban society was also expressed by their economy. In Late Antiquity the church took over from the diminishing towns some of the large expenditures connected with the baths, but with a significant limitation: only the poor, the sick and the pilgrims were allowed in the baths built by the Church or the monasteries. Another aspect touched upon briefly is the use of the baths ritually, for instance for baptism. The development of the baths and their position in Pagan and christian society respectively is also illustrated by the buildings themselves, since a change in function and attitude is normally reflected in the architecture of the baths.

Prædiken og profeti hos de første kvækere
Authors: Gregersen Susanne
Published: February 2018

Early quakerism at a time when orthodoxy and uniformity were met by an insistence on the right of individual religious convictions and affiliations. In this time of tension the early quakers' prohpetic awareness of being the tools of God in his last great plan for his people resulted in the fol´lowing reactions from contemporary orthodox puritanism: 1) They were madmen, 2) They were politically dangerous, 3) they spoke against the Word of the Bible and therefore instruments of Satan. The article illustrates by examples from the prophetic ministry among the first Publishers of Truth what this means to their view of the Bible and their message. The direct theological danger was that of antinomianism, and the theological consequence was therefore a necessary establishing of authority without disregarding the Inner Light. This was done by renouncing man's free will, by referring to their religious experiences and insights as common and not individual, and through consensus in all important matters. It also led to the building up of a society with a fixed framework such as an Elder-institution. In the long run the self-consideration led ot a weakening of the prophetic element within quakerism, but never of the respect for the Inner Light in every man, and the equality in faith and the plurality in its expression, which grew out of the same prophetic faith.
Samson og Herakles og forholdet natur - kultur
Authors: Carstens Pernille
Published: February 2018

The biblical Samson-narrative told in Judges 13-16 could be called a hero-narrative. The Samson-figure acting like a hero is know from the myths and legends of the neighbouring cultures. The article especially pays attention to the Greek Heracles tradition as a parallel to the Samson-story. The approach is based upon the idea that, from the second millennium B.C., eastern mediterranean cultures make up a "koine-culture". There is a kind of "family likeness" between these different hero-narratives forming a complex network. The folklore study is a new and fertile approach to the hero tradition. The article primarily stressed Susan Niditch's and D. Bynum's works. One of the most important topics in the hero tradition is the contrast between nature and culture. One dimension that brings this dichotomy to the fore is the hero's relation to women by whom he is subdued. She forces/seduces him to become more "culture" than "nature". She is taming the wild man by "womanization". Finally the article gives heed to the death of Samson and Heracles, showing that even though culturalized the death is triggered by nature.
