Title [sv]
Kartläggning av religion i vardagen: Medeltida helgonkulter i Sverige och Finland
Title [en]
Mapping Lived Religion: Medieval cults of saints in Sweden and Finland
Abstract [sv]
Projektet kommer att skapa interaktiva kartor, där användare kan söka och analysera information om kyrkor, socknar och kultplatser – kronologiskt, geografiskt och utifrån helgon. Just helgon kommer också att studeras i form av helgonkulter som socialt fenomen och som en del av vardagen. Projektet kommer också att skapa en open access-databas som tillgängliggör kulturarvssamlingar (både texter och föremål) samt digitalisera material i samarbete med Statens historiska museer och Riksantikvarieämbetet. Målet är att möjliggöra nya, djupgående studier om nordisk kultur under medeltiden och tidigmodern tid.
Abstract [en]
Why were saints instrumental in forming the mental and physical relationships medieval Scandinavians had with their surrounding environments? Saints were important links between heaven and earth but they also affected the landscape, the calendar and the perception of time itself, and set people in motion as pilgrims.Sources associated with saints provides a wealth of material to study daily life, social relationships and values. This cultural heritage material includes church and altar dedications, art, miracle tales and inventories. Some research has been done but interdisciplinary studies with a complete overview are missing. No comprehensive mapping of saints´ cults exists for the medieval Swedish church province, most of modern Sweden and Finland, for the years 1164 to 1593.Our five-year project will build a comprehensive online database providing open-access across cultural heritage collections, both textual and material, and digitize material in collaboration with the National Historical Museums and Swedish National Heritage Board. We will create interactive, digital maps that allow users to sort churches, parishes and cult-sites chronologically, geographically and by saint. These resources will enable new, in-depth investigations into the culture of medieval and early modern Scandinavia.The database and maps are the project’s major digital publication, important for future research. Analyses will also be published in peer-reviewed journals and an anthology.
