The nominal case forms disappeared from the Scandinavian languages long ago. Instead, the function of the case forms is represented by word order. Only the pronouns still have all case distinctions. Traditionally the case forms of the personal pronouns have been regarded as a remnant of the original case forms. This book, however, presents a different view. Drawing on structural, semantic and pragmatic approaches the author shows that the personal pronouns form a system which is, to some extent, structured in quite a different way. The author examines this system and illustrates with the help of many examples that the personal pronouns show a strong tendency under certain conditions to drop or change the function of specific inflectional forms. This tendency, however, is strongest in connection with dialects and sociolects. In his study the author puts a special emphasis on the Danish language, but he also draws on examples taken from the Norwegian, Swedish and Fenno-Swedish languages. This book should appeal to all who have an interest in linguistics.

Under the auspices of the British Museum, C.T. Newton started excavations in 1857 on the site of one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the sepulchral monument to the Carian ruler, Maussollos. Sensational finds were made of sculptures in round and reliefs, but less attention was paid to the architectural remains of the superstructure, and afterwards it was made clear that supplementary investigations on the site would be needed, if a more complete and reliable reconstruction of the building was to be hoped for than that suggested by Newton and his collaborators. This volume describes the foundations of the Mausolleion laid within the large, rectangular cutting in the bedrock and named "the quadrangle" by Newton. In addition to architectural evidence of basic importance, its re-excavation by the Danish expedition in the years 1970-77 brought to light remains of Maussollos' tomb chamber and its treasures, among these the ornaments of gold plate and beads of semi-precious stones published in the present volume. The illustrations include a plan of the re-excavated foundations; elevations of cross-sections describing the principal features of the excavated area; excavation photos; and a plot plan of the principle levels.

People across the English-speaking world are often surprised to hear that 19th-century Denmark produced not one, but two figures of international significance in the field of religious thought and life, Soren Kierkegaard and NFS Grundtvig. Apart from the impact of his educational ideas on some parts of the southern hemisphere, most notably India, Grundtvig's viewpoint on human nature and human society, on the relationship between national and international community, on the inner dynamic which sustains and drives forward the Christian tradition, remains remarkably little known outside his own country. In recent years, however, this situation has begun to change. Grundtvig's thought is being more widely studied and discussed in an international perspective. This varied collection of essays, mostly European and North American, illustrates this development. It suggests that in NFS Grundtvig we have a 19th-century thinker with unexpected relevance to the dilemmas of the new century.

Industrialised societies have changed enormously since World War II. Business enterprises have laid the foundation for this process as well as adapted to a world where industrialisation and internationalisation have spread rapidly. It is probably safe to say that without IT this expansion would not have been possible, and the air transport industry has played a substantial and significant role in this development. This book follows the development and the interplay between information technology and business during the second part of the twentieth century. SAS has been selected as the central theme of this publication because the company, being a deeply integrated part of this general development, has also been an outstanding representative of business life, and especially the revolutionary progress of IT towards globalisation and the Internet towards the turn of the millennium.

Explores how identities emerge, persist and change and which power resources are tapped in the course of this process.

Demonstrates how the latest approaches to postcolonial theory cross traditional disciplinary boundaries and demand their reinterpretation.

Downward causation is found in two-level and multi-level systems with complex behaviour generated by many components interacting in a simple or complex way. The term was coined by the social psychologist and philosopher Donald T. Campbell, who asked the question: If many small-scale interactions can create emergent large-scale patterns, can large-scale patterns re-influence the small-scale interactions that generated them? This has led to many further questions, among them: Does the cell as a system reorganise the biochemical processes inside it in a new way? Do psychosomatic illnesses exist? Can life change biochemical laws? Can mind change the body? The chapters in this comprehensive book address these questions from the viewpoints of different disciplines. Part 1 contains a classification of positions regarding 'downward causation', Part 2 covers physics, Part 3 covers biology and psychology, Part 4 covers social and communicative systems, and Part 5 covers general philosophy.

An illustrated guide to antiquities collected by Christian Frederick as prince and king of Denmark during the first half of the 19th century and now housed in the National Museum of Denmark. The guide considers Christian's collecting activities in Naples, North Africa and elsewhere and examines his collection of Greek vases, Egyptian artefacts and Greco-Roman sculptures. Danish text. An English edition is also available.

Text in Danish and Latin.

This book explores how identities emerge, persist and change and which power resources are tapped in the course of this process -- topics that are of great importance in academic and popular debates today. The thrust of this collection of papers from experts in various fields is two-sided, cutting against both the post-modern view of identity as merely a shifting assemblage of images and categories marketed through the media and the view of identity as something fixed and rooted in primordial authenticity. The contributors illustrate the dynamics of identification as performance and narrative, as power and meaning, and as an interplay between self and other, difference and similarity.

Birgitta Mark shows how mystical experience covers three aspects of a person's general experience: mystical ideas, mystical states of consciousness and mystical development. In this comprehensive and balanced study, she examines the state and theory of mysticism, explores the credibility of evidence for mystical experience, including scientific theories of consciousness and neuronal activity and how they influence mysticism, delves into the writings and subsequent interpretations of the mystical experience of John of the Cross and connects evidence and hypothesis within his writings. The author notes that her own understanding of mystical states of consciousness is based upon S. A. Greenfield's theory of consciousness and A. R. Damasio's theory of emotions. In her own view, she says, the main cause of the promotion of mystical development is the recurrence of such mystical states of consciousness. This well-researched book would be of interest to scholars of religion, mysticism, and psychology and others who wish to learn more about our understanding of mystic states and how they affect and are affected by the persons who have experienced them throughout history.

"Baptism and the New Life" is the first thesis about St. Paul's theology in almost 70 years. The main subject of the book is the Pauline enthusiasm for salvation and the new life expressed in Rom 6. 1-14.

In 27 articles, the book presents the range of recent research on Ladakh, a small state in the Himalayas.

P.O. Brondsted (1780-1842) was the father of classical archaeology in Denmark, and his writings won great acclaim all over Europe. He travelled in Greece from 1810 to 1813 examining the ancient cities of the island of Kea and the sculptures of the Parthenon, and participating in excavations on the island of Aegina as well as in Bassie. In addition to his love for classical Greece, he had a great interest in the Greece of his own time, and in the Greek struggle for independence. These interviews with Ali Pasha show Brondsted's interest and fascination in the man. The meeting is recounted, and Ali Pasha is shown to be a powerful and controversial despot, with political connections all over Europe.
