Abstract:
Bloomsbury Medieval Studies (BMS) is a good interdisciplinary resource that provides access to all of Bloomsbury Publishing’s offerings on Medieval Studies in one place. One strength of this product is the global view of the medieval period it takes, as opposed to the Eurocentric view of most of the other products currently on the market. The pricing is based on tiers and quite reasonable. The license terms and conditions are mainly in line with industry standards, although there are a few you will want to look at for possible negotiation. The user interface is clear and easy to use. This is a new product that currently has an update schedule of every six months. This makes the perpetual access model of dubious value, but an annual subscription could easily be worth the cost.

Abstract:
GLI STUDI MEDIEVALI E LA ‘BRITISH SCHOOL AT ROME’Le ricerche in campo medievale hanno costituito uno dei tratti distintivi dell'attività della ‘British School at Rome’ sin dagli esordi, con la pubblicazione di consistenti ricerche storico artistiche (Rushforth) e di storia amministrativa (Jamison) nella prima decade del ventesimo secolo. Successivamente, però, fino al secondo dopoguerra, itemi medievali vennero trattati in maniera piuttosto discontinua. Negli anni '50 l'attenzione si concentro sugli studi storici, mentre quelli archeologici iniziarono negli anni '60. Questi ultimi conobbero un intenso sviluppo in seguito alla ricognizione dell'Etruria meridionale (‘South Etruria Survey’) condotta dalla ‘British School at Rome’, concentratasi sul periodo romano ma che sollevo numerose questioni relative al periodo successive All'inizio degli anni '60, gli scavi di Santa Cornelia furono tra i primi scavi medievali in Italia. A meta del decennio, le ricerche di David Whitehouse sulla ceramica resero possibile per la prima volta datazioni accurate. Da queste premesse scaturirono tre decenni di lavoro intenso sull'archeologia medievale italiana, nel quale gli archeologici britannici, di solito legati alla ‘British School at Rome’, ebbero un ruolo importante. I decenni piu recenti hanno inoltre contributo allo sviluppo delle discipline storiche è storico-artistiche; John Osborne e stato particolarmente attivo nello sviluppo degli studi sulla cultura visiva altomedievale romana.

Abstract:
This thesis is an investigation into the medieval dialect of the pre-1974 county of Herefordshire. The main source materials consist of a group of literary texts of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, localised in the Herefordshire area by linguistic means. The study builds on the methodology developed in connection with the Linguistic Atlas of Late Medieval English (McIntosh, Samuels and Benskin 1986), but goes far beyond it both in its analysis of the individual texts and in using the data for descriptive and interpretative study. The aim is to contextualise and evaluate the evidence, as well as to gain a broad view of the characteristics of the dialect, including both diatopic and diachronic patterns and developments. In order to assess their value as evidence, a detailed dialect is carried out for each individual text; as part of this process, the Atlas localisations are reviewed, taking into consideration the full material now available, and various linguistic and textual questions are discussed. A set of dialect criteria for the localisation of texts within Herefordshire and the South-West Midland area is defined. While the study focuses on the fourteenth- and fifteenth-century materials, comparisons with earlier and later periods are made. Several thirteenth-century literary texts are discussed in detail, including the well-known 'AB-language' and the two manuscripts of The Owl and the Nightingale; the material is further related to the available evidence for the Old, Early Modern and Present-Day English periods. A series of studies of specific areas of grammar and phonology are carried out, covering topics such as the changes affecting the systems of gender, case and number since the Old English period, and the developments of the Early Middle English front rounded vowels, and of Germanic a. A language contact-based explanation of the Old English sound-change known as 'second fronting' is suggested. The linguistic patterns are related to the external history of the dialect, including geographical, political and settlement patterns, language contact with Welsh, and social/economic factors.

Abstract:

Många butiker har idag problem med att fördela sina marknadsföringsmedel. Ofta sänder de ut stora mängder reklam men har svårt att veta om deras marknadskommunikation får något genomslag eller inte. Denna uppsats behandlar de delar av marknadsföringen som butiker kan ta hjälp utav för att bättre veta hur de kan fördela sina marknadsföringsmedel. Syftet med detta arbete var att beskriva hur butiker med hjälp av utformning av mediebudget och medieschemaplanering bättre kan fördela sina reklampengar och vidare försäkra sig om att dessa investeringar i sin marknadskommunikation uppmärksammas av målgruppen och i slutändan resulterar i en ökad försäljning. Vi hade även som syfte att upprätta en egen mediebudget och ett eget medieschema. Slutligen ämnade även kunna ge butiker rekommendationer om hur de kan gå tillväga i framtiden. Makromålkedjan ligger till grund för denna uppsats med de fem viktiga delmål som måste uppfyllas för att uppnå det slutliga och önskade målet – vinst. För att få ett verkligt exempel har vi tillämpat oss av en fallstudie med hjälp av en verklig butik. Genom att intervjua butikschefen skaffade vi oss en inblick i hur arbetet med marknadskommunikationen kan fungera i en butik. Från detta utgick vi sedan i vår undersökning. Vi intervjuade även representanter från två reklambyråer samt en konsult som utför målgruppsanalyser, detta för att få tips och råd till vår undersökning. Vår undersökning utgörs av två kundundersökningar i form av kortare intervjuer. Detta för att ha en grund när vi senare genomförde beräkning av effektiv frekvens, samt upprättade en mediebudget och ett medieschema. Med detta ville vi påvisa den stora vikten för butiker att ha kontroll över sina marknadsföringsmedel och att se till att dessa fördelas på rätt sätt. Dessa redovisas senare i uppsatsens resultat. Vid utformandet av medieschemat har vi haft de tre dimensionerna frekvens, kontinuitet och räckvidd i åtanke. I samband med detta har vi även tittat närmare på medieval och valt ut de media som vi ansåg lämpligast för vår fallstudie.

Abstract:
This PhD dissertation investigates the construction of identities in the early Middle Ages, focusing on three key texts conventionally dated to the ninth and tenth centuries: Historia Brittonum, Asser's Life of King Alfred, and Armes Prydein Vawr. I examine the way these writers constructed ideas of Welsh identity in the wider context of their perception of peoples more broadly. Particular attention is paid to the texts that may have influenced the three sources, investigating, for example, Historia Brittonum's use of the works of writers such as Orosius, Jerome, and Prosper. This thesis also examines the possibility of wider trends through placing the Welsh material alongside evidence from across Europe. I compare, for example, the construction of a Trojan origin legend for the Britons in Historia Brittonum with similar accounts of the Trojan origins of the Franks. In Chapter 1 I investigate the names used for Wales and the Welsh, and suggest that, whilst these texts continued to view the Welsh as Britons, the rightful inhabitants of all Britain, there is nevertheless an indication of the construction of a specifically Welsh identity, focused on the geographical unit roughly equivalent to modern-day Wales. Chapter 2 discusses the relationship between language and identity, considering the use of Welsh place- and river-names in the Life of King Alfred, and the use of English loan-words in both Historia Brittonum and Armes Prydein Vawr. Contrary to the tendency in scholarship to downplay the role of language, I argue that it is a crucial component in the construction of identity. Chapter 3 focuses on the presentation of origin legends in Historia Brittonum and Armes Prydein Vawr. I compare the origins of the Saxons as presented in the two sources to illustrate the recycling and adaptation of material to suit varying agendas, and place Historia Brittonum's origin legend of the Britons in a wider context, examining both the sources used in its construction and its relationship with the origin legends of the Franks. Chapter 4 investigates the writing of history more broadly in Historia Brittonum and Asser's Life of King Alfred, examining the adaptation of material to create a past which suited the construction of a specific group identity. Particular attention is paid to Asser's depiction of the vikings as pagans, in contrast to the Christian Anglo-Saxons. These chapters combine into a coherent whole, offering significant new insights into the construction of identities in early medieval Wales.

Abstract:
This thesis will argue that the Beowulf Manuscript, which includes the poem Judith, Saxo Grammaticus’s Gesta Danorum, and the Old-Norse-Icelandic Laxdæla saga highlight and examine the tension between the female pagan characters and their Christian authors. These texts also demonstrate that Queenship grew fragile after the spread of Christianity, and women’s power waned in the shift between pre-Christian and Christian Europe.

Abstract:
One of the most important aspects of medieval human life was being in a community. On the one hand, medieval city itself was such a community, whereas on the other hand, there still remained social, economic and occupational differences between its inhabitants, which in daily life dissociated people. In addition to the community in the city, the church and the family, another type of community developed in medieval cities – professional or artisan associations, fraternities or guilds. For a very long time, the studies dedicated to these organizations focused mainly on their economic, legal and organizational aspects, and hence guilds are mainly associated with their economic activities. However, the religious and social life they yielded was no less important and provided people’s daily lives with activities that complemented their spiritual and social life. The aim of the study is to review and analyse the social practices found in the source material, whereby such aspects of socialization as the formation of beneficial social contacts, maintenance of relationships, as well as mutual assistance were practiced in medieval artisan associations. Examples and their similarities in various artisan associations in Europe, including Riga, which are reported in medieval written sources, especially the statutes of these associations, will be discussed. The obtained information collected in the study confirms that associations extended beyond economic goals, as their practices promoted social contacts between members, strengthened friendships, fostered respect and responsibility for each other.

Full text
Abstract:
The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under five key headings. Underpinning all five areas is the recognition that human narratives remain crucial for ensuring the widest access to our shared past. There is no wish to see political and economic narratives abandoned but the need is recognised for there to be an expansion to more social narratives to fully explore the potential of the diverse evidence base. The questions that can be asked are here framed in a national context but they need to be supported and improved a) by the development of regional research frameworks, and b) by an enhanced study of Scotland’s international context through time. 1. From North Britain to the Idea of Scotland: Understanding why, where and how ‘Scotland’ emerges provides a focal point of research. Investigating state formation requires work from Medieval Scotland: a future for its past ii a variety of sources, exploring the relationships between centres of consumption - royal, ecclesiastical and urban - and their hinterlands. Working from site-specific work to regional analysis, researchers can explore how what would become ‘Scotland’ came to be, and whence sprang its inspiration. 2. Lifestyles and Living Spaces: Holistic approaches to exploring medieval settlement should be promoted, combining landscape studies with artefactual, environmental, and documentary work. Understanding the role of individual sites within wider local, regional and national settlement systems should be promoted, and chronological frameworks developed to chart the changing nature of Medieval settlement. 3. Mentalities: The holistic understanding of medieval belief (particularly, but not exclusively, in its early medieval or early historic phase) needs to broaden its contextual understanding with reference to prehistoric or inherited belief systems and frames of reference. Collaborative approaches should draw on international parallels and analogues in pursuit of defining and contrasting local or regional belief systems through integrated studies of portable material culture, monumentality and landscape. 4. Empowerment: Revisiting museum collections and renewing the study of newly retrieved artefacts is vital to a broader understanding of the dynamics of writing within society. Text needs to be seen less as a metaphor and more as a technological and social innovation in material culture which will help the understanding of it as an experienced, imaginatively rich reality of life. In archaeological terms, the study of the relatively neglected cultural areas of sensory perception, memory, learning and play needs to be promoted to enrich the understanding of past social behaviours. 5. Parameters: Multi-disciplinary, collaborative, and cross-sector approaches should be encouraged in order to release the research potential of all sectors of archaeology. Creative solutions should be sought to the challenges of transmitting the importance of archaeological work and conserving the resource for current and future research.
