Carl Nielsen's Cultural Self-Education. His Early Engagement with Fine Art and Ideas and the Path towards 'Hymnis Amoris'
Authors: Roth Colin
Published: February 2018

In this paper Colin Roth examines the documentary record for insights into the composer’s developing enthusiasm for fine art in his early years, and considers their implications for our understanding of his music-compositional process and creative path. He looks back to the emergence of a strong and persistent interaction with French cultural values and aesthetics in ‘the Golden Age’ and traces the path of its Platonic neo-classicism as a distinctively Danish contribution to ‘romanticism’s double helix’, from Eckersberg and Thorvaldsen through Kierkegaard and then to Georg Brandes and Carl Nielsen, revealing a source in Kierkegaard’s Either/Or of Nielsen’s best known remarks about his own music. It is Nielsen’s perception that ‘all art is in its essence the opposite of sensuality and as soon as this [sensuality] comes in, is it no longer high and clean art’, written about Rubens in 1894, which helps to illuminate the choice of a Latin text in Hymnus Amoris . In asking what we can we learn about Nielsen’s way of learning from studying his self-education in art, and about what he learned as a young man and from whom, our knowledge of the development of Nielsen’s musical aesthetics and outlook is enriched.

Spil, leg og idræt i nordisk middelalder
Authors: Søndergaard Leif
Published: February 2018

Beskrivelse af de sociale klassers sportsdyrkelse og bevægelseskulturer i middelalderen i de nordiske lande.Games and Sports in the Middle Ages in the NorthFrom Saxo’s Gesta Danorum (ce. 1200), the Icelandic Sagas and the Norwegian King’s Mirror (ce. 1250), we obtain the clear impression that games and sports in the early Middle Ages served two main functions: 1) to display physical strength and 2) to train in the proper use of weapons. These abilities were needed at all levels of Viking and early medieval society. Even kings had to distinguish themselves in sports. Later in the Middle Ages sports and games were socially differentiated. The peasantry continued with trials of strength, – wrestling, boxing, tug-of-war, running and jumping games, ball games, throwing the javelin, shooting with longbow or crossbow, stone lifting etc. The nobility however developed new games. The chivalric virtues, values and norms were transmuted into tournaments. A full scale tournament comprised three sections: 1) riding at the ring, 2) fights between riding knights armed with lances and, 3) standing fights with swords. The nobles also played skittles and other games. The burghers in the towns invented their own games during the Later Middle Ages. Their guilds organised festive sports at Shrovetide, pulling the head off a goose, sword dancing, riding summer and winter, – and at Pentecost, shooting popinjays (a wooden figure on the end of a pole). During the Middle Ages sports and games lost most of their original function of displaying power. Instead they aspired to a place among the rituals of representative courtly display. The games were often integrated into annual festivities, and contributed to giving a distinct cultural identity to each of the social groups who performed them.
Folkelighedsbegrebet i praksis - en vandrelærers arbejde i 1920'ernes Sydslesvig
Authors: Danielsen Anebine
Published: February 2018

The concept of “folkelighed” in practice. The work of an itinerant teacher in the southern Schlesvig of the 1920’sThis article attempts to pin down the way in which an element of “folkelighed” was central to the wide variety of work carried out by itinerant teachers in southern Schlesvig. After the referendum of 1920 and the fixing of the national boundary with Germany, the occupation of itinerant teacher was established south of the new border for the purpose of strengthening, in conjunction with private tuition in Danishminded homes, elements of Danishness. Taking the activities of the itinerant teacher, Jørgen Jørgensen, as an example, we see how popular nationalism at grassroots level was just as clearly visible in games and woodwork lessons as it was in history and Danish. The concept of “folkelighed” was on a par with Christianity, and nationalist thinking was an indispensable part of the mental baggage that belonged to the period and to the area and was therefore a natural component of everyday activity. Jørgen Jørgensen made a very committed contribution. He was a firebrand, who devoted his life to itinerant teaching and his significance for local society can be compared to the earlier platoon commanders. His work can be seen as an example of the way in which the concept of “folkelighed” was acted out in practice. The article concludes with some thoughts on the subject of the concept of “folkelighed” in our day, which, however much its reduced emphasis on nationalist and Christian elements has made it less distinct, nevertheless remains in great demand.
Sundhed, glæde, fællesskab - og hvor modsætningerne ligger. Om idrættens enhed og mangfoldighed i Finland

Published: February 2018

Diskussion af historieskrivning med bl.a. Helsingfors Gymnastikklubb og olympismens historiske faser fra slutningen af 1800-tallet og frem som eksempler.Health, pleasure, brotherhood – and where are the contradictions? On unity and diversity in Finnish sportsSome recent publications of Finnish research tell important stories about the otherness and heterogenity of sport in Finnish history. But they also do more than this. Some fundamental questions are being raised about the nature of history, about tradition, change and disappearance. How does research understand its own relation to the organised “unity” of Olympic sport – and to the diversity of conflicting body cultures? And how do researchers find their place or move between an integration into the “monotheism of achievement”, an individual subjectivity and the solidarity of cultural struggle?
Dansk idræt under hagekorsets tegn
Authors: Bonde Hans
Published: February 2018

Artiklen belyser idrættens rolle og betydning under anden verdenskrig med fokus på bl.a. Danmarks Idræts-Forbunds relation til besættelsesmagten.Danish Sport under the sign of the swastikaOn 9th April 1940 Denmark was invaded and occupied. This article deals with the response of the Danish Sports community to the German Occupation. Immediately after the German invasion the urban sports movement proved reasonably staunch in asserting the traditional apolitical status of sport in the face of German pressure. However, the wish to maintain the range and quality of Danish sport gradually became crucial to a resumption of sporting relations with Germany, which gave the occupying power considerable propaganda advantages through Danish-German international sporting events. Several rural gymnastics associations were active in the initial phases of reactionary attemps by the the world-famous Danish gymnastics leader Niels Bukh’s to create a Danish Youth League. However, there was opposition to fraternizing on football fields and other sports locations. The Danish response to fascist militarism was complex – compromise and confrontation worked side by side.

The reception of Dopingdjævlen (1999) in Denmark
Authors: Hoberman John

Diskussion af Verner Møllers bog 'Dopingdjævelen' - om dopingskandaler og Tour de France i slutningen af 1990'erne.The Reception of Dopingdjævlen (The Devil of Dope) (1999) in Denmark)The publication of Verner Møller’s Dopingdjævlen a year after the 1998 Tour de France scandal was in itself a kind of media event that gave the doping debate in Denmark an analytical dimension that is usually lacking in public discussions of this topic. The fact that an academic intellectual had succeeded in entering the public discussion of athletic doping in an original, heretical and highly publicized manner provoked a reaction that can teach us much about the status of “doping” in modern societies that consume large quantities of “legitimate” drugs. For one of the consequences of reading Verner Møller’s book was to be confronted with the uncomfortable possibility that the drug use of professional cyclists was not, in some respects, fundamentally different from the drug use of millions of people who regard their own pharmacological habits as being both normal and legitimate.

Published: February 2018

Danske OL-deltageres møde med de olympiske lege. Bl.a. svømmeren Jytte Hansen i 1948.PALÆSTRA in O-D-I-N’s training facilityThe shrines at Olympia, Delphi, Isthmia and Nemea took their turn in fixed rotation to organize festivals in which sporting competitions were a central element. They were characterised by being ”stefanoforos”, which is to say that the victor would be wreathed and not directly rewarded with gifts. Preparatory training in situ was a requirement. This took place at a training facility separate from the shrine and from the competition ground. Palæstra was part of this facility. Facilities of this kind of differing sizes have been dated and identified at Olympia and Delphi, and excavations are in progress to find similar sites at the other two shrines in the north-western Peloponnese. American archaeologists on location have found traces which are reported to be promising. This arena for wrestling and fighting with its square building was the site of both physical and intellectual training and from the beginning developed in Hellenic architectural activity in ways that correspond to other secular buildings. Where palæstra in the city state was part of the everyday life of men and boys, this training facility in OD- I-N became the site of an unadulterated presentation of an example of the good life.

Et andet friluftsliv og en alternativ biologi - om abeforskning, spejdervæsen og woodcraft-folk
Authors: Eichberg Henning
Published: February 2018

Artiklen beskriver bl.a. forskelle på spejder- og woodcraftbevægelserne og diskuterer friluftsliv ud fra den grundantagelse, at friluftsliver bygger på mere end fysisk bevægelse.A different outdoor life and an alternative biology: on primate research, the nature of scouting, and woodcraft folk. Outdoor life is not only a complex of physical activities, as the term ‘scouting sports’ may have us believe. Outdoor activities are connected with concepts of nature and with certain forms of knowledge that are also fundamental to the natural sciences. This article approaches this complex relation through the biography of the animal. Since the 1960s biologists have used fieldwork to “discover” and reconstruct the life histories of chimpanzees. The significance of these biographies for biological research is that they open the way for a revision of scientific method. And they allow a fresh retrospective look at scouting history. The Boy Scouts movement was started around 1900-1910 by Ernest Thompson Seton, an American author of animal novels, and the British military officer Lord Baden-Powell. The two founder figures represented different ways of relating to nature. The multiplicity that existed between the role models of “the soldier” and the “Red Indian” can also be found in early Danish scouting, where different emphases were placed by Cay Lembcke and by Hans Hartvig-Møller. The practical choice between “war in nature” and “peace with nature” was linked to contradictions in the understanding of nature. Nature was an arena on the one hand for struggle for the survival of the fittest – on the other for dialogue with the animal as ‘the other’.
For byens skyld - konstruktion af Københavns Idrætspark
Authors: Mortensen Morten
Published: February 2018

Politiske, historiske og sociale baggrunde for beslutningen om at anlægge Københavns Idrætspark i 1911.For the city’s sake – the construction of Copenhagen’s Sports Park The creation of Copenhagen’s Sports Park in 1911 can in several ways be seen as the first fragile step on the way to the involvement of voluntary sports in the construction of our welfare state. In the first place the debate and the entire procedure in the city council in Copenhagen demonstrate that sport was regarded as a positive instrument in the prevention of the substantial social and health problems that prevailed in Copenhagen around 1900. In the second place sport – in the form of DIF (The Sports Union of Denmark), Copenhagen’s sporting associations and individuals connected to voluntary sporting activities – was particularly active in this process. In the third place it is interesting that, in constructing the private foundation that was Copenhagen’s Sports Park, Copenhagen Municipal delegated the administration of the city’s sports facilities to the sports associations. This article further describes how Copenhagen’s Sports Park was arranged as an alliance between the city’s conservative politicians and the worker’s movement in the form of the Social Democrat Party.
Samfundet som teater - Fra Caesar til Silvio
Authors: Bonde Hans
Published: February 2018

Med eksempler fra bl.a. det antikke Rom, det gamle Grækenland og nutidens valg af populistiske stjerner til politiske poster behandler artiklen tendensen til teatralisering af politikken. Society as theatre from Caesar to Silvio During the present period we are witnesses to yet another chapter in the tendency towards the theatricalisation of politics. People wish to be represented not by a stick-in-the-mud with political acumen and devoid of charisma but by actors. Where the USA has its actors and sports personalities entering politics, Italy has the opposite – politicians who provide the populace with theatre instead of an exchange of political opinions. If we cannot simply regard the development in Italy as a harmless special case, it is because the country, and not least Rome itself, has throughout its history provided a norm and a form for the association between aesthetics and politics. This article traces the Italian tendency towards the marriage of aesthetics and politics from ancient Rome, to Catholicism, to fascism and on to the modern Berlusconi regime.

Frode Fretland: Footballmatches on grass and gravel in Christiania

This article will focus on the development of football and football grounds in the Norwegian capital Christiania until 1922. Questions about grounds for football have always been a central issue in the history of football in Norway. Due to difficult topography and the cold and wet climate in wintertime it has always been problematic to establish proper surfaces. In spite of bad facilities, association football has for a long time been the most popular sport, not in the capital alone, but all over the country. Football was from the very beginning seen as a way to offer children and young people a healthy and playful time of recreation in a natural environment. The municipal authorities of Christiania supported this by building grounds. Most of them were smaller gravel grounds (playing fields) in connection with schools, but only a few grounds were of good standard and had the right size for serious football matches. Really good football was played at full-sized grass pitches, but in Norway it was common until the end of 1910s to have gravel pitches only. When the national team played against Sweden and Denmark they always had difficulties playing well at the grass grounds because they were not used to it. At last, from 1918, a new grass ground near Christiania made it possible for the best local teams and the national team to train and play matches on a proper surface. This was followed by the first victories over Denmark and Sweden.

Bjarne Ibsen: Sport politics at municipal level

The aim of the article is to describe the policies and the politics for sport and physical activities at the municipal level in Denmark. Further it aims at explaining the differences between the municipalities and estimating the consequences of the municipal reform for the sport politics in the future. The first part of the article shows that there are considerable differences between the municipalities in Denmark regarding formal sport politics (principles for the sport politics adopted by the municipal council), municipal initiatives to promote physical activity among inactive children and adults, the number of sports facilities, the economic costs for sport and leisure and the administration of sport in the municipality. The second part of the article is an analysis of two hypotheses that aims at explaining the differences between the municipalities. The first hypothesis suggests that the differences are due to variations among the municipalities in the interest of and attitudes towards sport among the inhabitants and the politicians. In the second – competing – hypothesis the explanation is the specific conditions for the municipality; the number of inhabitants and the economic possibilities. A multiple regression analysis confirms the second hypothesis. In the light of these results we can expect that the reform of the municipalities – with bigger municipalities – will lead to more proactive sport politics, with an emphasis on the value of sport for welfare and integration, unlike a more traditional reactive politics with an emphasis on self-determination and cultural values.

Authors: Frandsen Kirsten
Published: February 2018

Artiklen omhandler de store udviklingstræk i dansk sportsjournalistik, hvis udgangspunkt for at dække sport gradvist har ændret sig fra at være idealistik orienteret til at blive markedsorienteret.Sport and mediaThis article outlines some of the crucial qualitative changes in the development of Danish sportsjournalism throughout the 20th century. There is a particular focus on changes in the coverage which account for changes in the journalistic conception of their professional role as a communicator between sports and the audience. Both newspapers, radio and television is included in the desciription, as the analysis is based on a evolutionary understanding of the media saying that new media do not substitute old media. Rather, over time new media bring about communicative differentiation in between the old and new media. The changes represent a journalism which gradually has moved its productional point of focus from basing itself on ideal conceptions of the social and ethical value of sports to basing itself to a still higher degree on a market controlled wish to secure the readers, listeners and viewers.

Artiklen beskriver og forklarer de forandringer, som sporten har gennemgået, og den indflydelse, som disse forandringer har haft på udøvere og på deres kroppe og images. Der er særlig fokus på mediernes rolle i forhandlingen om konstruktion af ambivalente maskulinitetsformer. Gertrud Pfister & Rikke Schou Jeppesen: Images, Bodies and Masculinities. Media discourses about Ski JumpersToday ski jumping can be considered a typical media sport: it has very few participants and no basis to become a »sport for all« movement. Nevertheless, the few specialists and their main events attract masses of spectators and great media attention. The high demands of skill and strength as well as the danger involved have made ski jumping a typical male sport. Since its beginnings in the 19th century a ski jumper was looked upon as the epitome of »true manhood«. Today ski jumpers are celebrities with fragile egos, skinny bodies, boyish looks, ambivalent masculinities and fan communities of teenage girls. With a constructivist theoretical approach, we will describe and explain the changes that have taken place in ski jumping and the effects of these changes on the athletes, their bodies, their images and their masculinities. The focus will be on the media representation of two German ski jumpers, Martin Schmitt and Sven Hannawald who dominated this sport between 2000 and 2003. Sources are the articles about these athletes in 6 German print media. With a qualitative content analysis, we explore the media coverage of ski jumping and the way the athletes are presented. The correlations between the images and the »doing gender« of the athletes and their presentations in the media along with the role of the media in constructing new and ambivalent masculinities will be the key issues of this article.

Fitness på markedet - Om konstruktionen af ´det enkelte individ´
Authors: Eichberg Henning
Published: February 2018

Artiklen belyser ved brug af historien og den sociale virkelighed om fitnesskulturen i Danmark, nogle filosofiske dilemmaer af teorien om den fitness-trænede individ. Throughout the past decades, fitness training has obtained more and more significance both in the world of sports and in health promotion. At the same time, it became a source of sociological and philosophical myths about the so-called ‘individualization’, which is said to dominate current society. The relation between health and individual appearance has contributed to the perspective of ‘individual self-building’.This article tests critically the thesis of individualization, by applying configurational analysis to fitness activities in America and in Nordic countries. The social space and time of human movement in fitness clubs, their emotions and atmospheres, inter-bodily relations and reifications tell, indeed, something about the work of ‘the individual’ on its own body, but also about inter-personal dimensions as well as about the powerful superstructures of the market and of public health policy. The question arises whether one can talk about a current ‘fitness movement’. Or does the social-cultural term of ‘movement’ describe something other? Anyway, ‘individualization’ shows as a problematic concept. But the study opens up for an understanding of individualizations in plural, each dependent of different historical periods and societal frameworks. By pluralization of concepts and of awareness, one meets different cultures of fitness, diverse cultures of health, manifold cultures of obesity…
Hvor skal de foreningsløse børn gå hen og dyrke idræt efter skoletid?
Authors: Østergaard Charlotte
Published: February 2018

Artiklen problematiserer, hvorfor der er stort politisk fokus på, at såkaldte foreningsløse børn skal blive medlem af idrætsforeningerne. Dette med afsæt i de værdier, foreningsidrætten tillægges. Denmark has a tradition of children participating in club organized sport. However, some children of mainly socially disadvantaged and immigrant backgrounds are not joining. Policy makers want to integrate these children into clubs and associations. The results of an empirical study done in connection with my doctoral dissertation show that club sport is not the most optimal setting for this group of children. The results presented in this article are based on two sports projects that offer sports activities at school after school hours. Interviews with schoolteachers responsible for these afterschool sports projects show that the competition and ranking logic dominating club sports do not match the needs of socially disadvantaged children. The study shows that sports projects at school are successful in capturing and retaining the children, because they are based on a different logic. Furthermore it turns out that parents of immigrant children have confidence in the school as an institution, a trust they exhibit by allowing their children to participate in the sports activities organized at school.
Når det omsorgsfulde menneske spænder ben. Om paradokset i implementeringen af sund livsstil blandt udsatte borgere
Authors: Nielsen Stine Frydendal
Published: February 2018

Artiklen diskuterer spørgsmålet: Hvordan påvirker det sociale møde mellem kommunalt ansatte og borgere implementeringen af sundhed og fysisk aktivitet? Artiklen er baseret på et specialet: 'Det sympatiske paradoks i mødet mellem system og borger'. When the meeting between the social worker and the socially exposed citizen frames the process of implementing physical activity, it becomes obvious how this meeting is affected by opposite attitudes towards the steering which influences the social meeting. The knowledge of health promotion among the social workers is taken for granted by the management. Therefore no education on this subject is provided for the employees. Consequently unevenness occurs in the role allocation between the social workers and the citizens despite an effort to meet the citizen at his level. This has an inhibiting effect on the implementation of physical activity. It is forgotten that not only is the self-steering of the citizens important, but also the self-steering of the social workers. In the process of implementation the employees have been neglected. This affects the process of change among the socially exposed citizens.
Leg, latter og produktion – fra historie og sociologi til filosofiske spørgsmål
Authors: Eichberg Henning
Published: February 2018

The historiography of play is manifold. It treats among others the roots and traditions of games, the carnivalistic culture of laughter and its repression, and the sportization of play in modern society as well as its pedagogization. Underexposed are the parcellation and technologization of play, new games and the recent instrumentalization of play in connection with health concerns and obesity panics. The sociology of play is – or should be – manifold, too. As sociology includes social stratification, difference and distinction, the oppositional dimension of popular laughter and its repression, tensions between idealized play and “dark play”, gender differences, play and social movements, and play and aging deserve attention. This implies that history is not just one, and sociology ditto. Their overlaps and interlacing hint towards combined historical-sociological humanist studies, which are interested in human bodily practice and movement culture both under the aspect of change and distinction. This leads to critical questions about some established terms and interpretations – and it is here that philosophy enters the scene. While history may be oriented towards answers about change, and sociology towards answers of differentiation and distinction, philosophy is steered by the need of fundamental questions. Play research can be a challenging case.

Fodboldens krav til kommunale stadionfaciliteter - et institutionelt perspektiv.
Authors: Alm Jens , Storm Rasmus Klarskov
Published: February 2018

Fodboldens krav til kommunale stadionfaciliteter – et institutionelt perspektiv (Danish pro-football’s demand for bigger stadiums: an institutional perspective) Although attendance figures in Danish football’s first tier are not in line with the Danish FA’s stadium requirements, the municipalities, which to a large degree fund the stadiums, comply with the stadium requirements and assist the clubs in obtaining their necessary league licenses. Taking on an institutional perspective, this study answers the question of why Danish municipalities follow these requirements and fund professional football stadiums that have a much bigger capacity than their regular attendance demands. The findings of the study can be summarized in three parts. First, coercive isomorphic processes are present within the homogenization process Danish stadiums are facing. As it is believed to be necessary to enhance facilities in order to keep Danish clubs competitive at the national and international level, the Danish FA, the Danish league, as well as the clubs, have been successful in realizing their demands for bigger stadiums. Second, it is also possible to discern mimetic isomorphic processes in the study. The competitive situation between municipalities, along with a conception of the clubs’ significance in the new experience economy, have contributed to the Danish municipalities’ compliance with the stadium requirements. Thirdly, although the municipalities have complied with the stadium requirements and funded the facilities, the analysis reveals a municipal opposition towards the requirements. However, the power balance between the clubs and municipalities seems to indicate that the clubs have the advantage, as the municipalities, despite their opposition, have conceded to making investments on the basis of the FA’s requirements.

D. T. Suzuki: post-orientalistisk zen-tænker
Authors: Borup Jørn
Published: February 2018

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Japanese D. T. Suzuki occupies a unique position in the history of Zen Buddhism's migration from East to West. His many publications on Zen until a few decades ago were the only channel to knowledge about this universe, and 'Suzuki Zen' in itself has been a catalyst for lived Zen Buddhism in the West. This article describes Suzuki's life and places his understanding of Zen, Buddhism and religion in a historical and network-theoretical framework. It is concluded that the relevant critique of Suzuki ought to be counterbalanced, so that his achievements are also acknowledged 50 years after his death.DANSK RESUME: Japanske D. T. Suzuki indtager en unik position inden for zen-buddhismens vandring fra øst til vest. Hans mange udgivelser om zen har indtil for få årtier siden været eneste kanal til viden om dette univers, og 'Suzuki-zen' har i sig selv været katalysator for levende zen-buddhisme i Vesten. Artiklen beskriver Suzukis liv og sætter hans forståelse af zen, buddhisme og religion i en historisk og netværksteoretisk ramme. Det konkluderes, at den helt relevante kritik af Suzuki bør afbalanceres, så de faglige fortjenester faktisk også påskønnes 50 år efter hans død.

"Mig og min forskning"
Authors: Bilde Per
Published: February 2018

The article “Me and my research” (cf. Woody Allen) is an offspring of an earlier discussion between dr. Kirsten Nielsen and myself on her dissertation, There is Hope for a Tree. The Tree as Metaphor in Isaiah (Sheffield 1989, Danish edition 1985), especially on the evaluation of the function of metaphorical language. In this article I concentrate on the specific aspect of the subjective involvement in scientific research. In an attempt to push the discussion further, I here suggest a distinction between 6 different types of such subjective involvement. And whereas some of these are to be regarded positively as necessary for the research, others are to be regarded negatively as damaging for sober scientific activity. To be conscious of this situation is already a step forward in the discussion of this complicated problem. In conclusion I attempt to unfold my own subjective ideological position in its relationship to my activity as a scholar.

Sindhu Raja-legenden og buddhismen i Bhutan
Authors: Koed Hans Krab
Published: February 2018

The purpose of this article is to show how a old form of Buddhism integrated with the local cult in the remote country of Bhutan in the Himalaya. How the former gods and demons were not unly subdued,  but also convinced to fight for the new belief. They were not destroyed but converted and at the same time degraded. In accordance with geomantism the monasteries are to be built where they have the greatest effect. The physical presence of the monasteries symbolizing the capture of the demoness, whose body constitutes the country. It is all described in the legend of King Sindhu Raja, whose conversion is connnected with his recovering from a dangerous illness. Padmasambhava, the great buddhist and tantric yogi from Tibet, is called to Bhutan to fight the demon who has stolen the life force of the King. As he succeeeds in the fight, the king and country is converted. The fight persists until this day in Bhutan's version of Vajrayana Buddhism, the hBrug-pa school, as the old gods and demons still have to be reminded to fight for buddhism. For this purpose they  have tantric rituals connected with exorcism like in the case of the legend of Sindhu Raja, where the King's stolen soul was freed by means of meditation and magic by the great mahasiddha Padmasambhava. Thus the connection between myth and history shows us the  function of the culture hero who created social order and organized the country as an independent Buddhist kingdom by means of the sindhu Raja-legend.
Augustins vurdering af Rom og romerne
Authors: Larsen Bent Dalsgaard
Published: February 2018

Saint Augustine's judgement of Rome and the Romans operates on different levels. He criticizes comtemporary society, e.g., for its education and its ludi scaenici, and he refers to Christianity as leaven in society (epist. 138) and to the christian community of Acts 4, 31-35 as a model (the Rule). But his main censure is directed against Republican Rome as concept of Rome because of its libido dominandi, its aviditas gloriae and its false cult and political religion. The ancient Rome was, on grounds of principle, not able  to furnish the moral basis necessary to every society. This problem Augustine consideres in the more general and comprehensive theological perspective of the two ciuitates: any effort to build a society on human forces alone (secundum hominem) is futile and will result in an anti-society, whereas a life according to God's will (secundum Deum) - and this alone - is truly social. But ontologically speaking, the evils of Rome and the Romans were not substantial, but evils of the will, and the ordo naturalis has not been totally destroyed. However, it is only by God's grace in christ that man van be restored, and justice and peace in society and between nations must have its sosurce in the justice and peace of God according to the order of Matthew 6,33.
Gibbons syn på forholdet mellem Rom og de kristne
Authors: Christiansen Erik
Published: February 2018

Edward Gibbon is often quoted for stating Christianity as the main cause for the fall of the Roman Empire, although a proper reading of his book proves that Christianity - or rather "the abuse of Christianity" - to him is only one of several "secondary" causes.  In the main this article os a presentation of Gibbon's view on early Christianity and the persecutions of the Christians (chapters XV-XVI). I conclude by saying that Gibbon has a distance to Christianity which enabled him to see how and why the non-Christian surroundings and the Roman authorities reacted as they did, as often overlookedd but very important point of view, which actually makes Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire - in spite of its age - much more in conformance with present scholarly debate on the question that many contributions published in between.

Syndebukkemekanismen i nilotisk kongedømme
Authors: Simonse Simon
Published: February 2018

Den bristede og den opskærne mave.In a structural analysis of the ritual in the treatment of the stomach of the dead king (or queen) in some Upper-Nilotic societies, the role of the kind a a "rain maker" (or the opposite) is demonstrated. Furthermore, the king is the point around which social tensions and rivalry is concentrated, either to be solved by him or be acted out with the king as a scapegoat. Girard's "scapegoat theory", while basically affirmed, is criticised on some important points: especially, the efficacy of the scapegoat mechanism does not seem to be dependent on the ignorance of the real psycho-sociological forces which are in play. To some informants, the treatment of the king assumes therefore the contours of an inescapable and therefore tragic necessity.
Da Gud blev til en lille grøn mand fra Rummet
Authors: Rothstein Mikael
Published: February 2018

The International Raëlian Movement, founded by the French journalist Claude Vorlihon (Raël) in 1974, is one of the best consolidated UFO-cults, now present in more than 40 countries. Its teaching is primarily derived form the judeo-christian mythology, although the interpretation throughout is related to modern scientific and pseudo-scientific notions. Further the cult integrates elements of European folklore, which indeed makes it a syncretistic religion. The article describes the teaching of Raël (said to be the Messiah), and points the the fact that no new religious ideas or structures are promoted. Rather a well-known set of ideas is reinterpreted in the syncretisticc process. The structure of traditional religion is maintained, but the actors on the mythological stage are new. God or even "the divine" is not recognized. We are facing an atheistic religion which claims that the technology and science of extraterrestrial beings are responsible for life of Earth. The article attempts to show how this transfer from transcendent God to extraterrestrial humanoid are dealt with within the limits of already existing mythological structures.
