This paper investigates the depiction of the Armenian Genocide in Turkish textbooks and examines correlations between changes in Turkish political dynamics and their impact on these educational resources.

In Walking on the Pages of the Word of God Aron Engberg explores the religious language and identities of evangelical volunteer workers in contemporary Jerusalem. The volunteers are connected to Christian organizations which consider their work a natural consequence of the biblical promises to Israel and their responsibility to “bless the Jewish people”.Relying on ethnographic data of the discursi

Sverigedemokraternas vitbok, som partiledaren Jimmie Åkesson presenterade 2017, har väckt stor uppmärksamhet genom att återuppta viktiga aspekter av partiets historia. Även om dessa frågor har behandlats i tidigare forskning är det fortfarande aktuellt att återkomma till dem. Vitboken är författad av idéhistorikern Tony Gustafsson och använder sig av en omfattande källanalys för att påvisa SverigeThe Sweden Democrats’ white paper, announced by party leader Jimmie Åkesson in 2017, has generated significant discussion by revisiting key aspects of the party’s history. Although these issues have been addressed in previous research, their reiteration remains relevant.

This chapter is an attempt to trace the political–philosophical discourses of modernity and nationalism in Iran during the twentieth century. The aim is to understand the frameworks of political discourse at two points in time, 1920 and the present, and to analyze how these frameworks have changed. In short, while certain ideas seem to repeat themselves over time, the issue here is the salience of

Excavating post-medieval sites has a long tradition in Denmark. It goes back to the 1940s and 1950s when sites such as Læsø Saltworks, Store Valby village, or Rømer tobacco pipe manufactory in Nørresundby were explored using approaches familiar to the contemporary practitioners of historical archaeology. From the 1970s onwards, post-medieval strata, which were previously removed without investigat

Spatial representations are a fundamental aspect of cognition. It remains largely unknown when and why the capacity to neurally represent space first evolved. In this opinion article, we argue that a strong candidate for the earliest such representation is the encoding of head direction. Dedicated circuits that compute head direction by integrating self-motion and external cues have been described

Animals need to balance exploiting an available resource against exploring the environment for potentially better alternatives. A new study has revealed that fruit flies integrate long-term metabolic state and recent feeding experience to produce sophisticated search behaviors, which, surprisingly, do not rely on the fly’s internal compass.

I svensk historieskrivning kallas 1600-talet ofta för “stormaktstiden”, och dåtidens Sverige betecknas som en stormakt. Denna terminologi är emellertid inte självklar och har, som denna artikel visar, en historisk bakgrund. Före 1800-talets mitt betecknade historikerna inte 1600-talet som en tid präglad av någon särskild storhet, även om kung Gustav II Adolf hyllades för sina insatser under trettiIn Swedish history, the 17th century is usually named stormaktstiden (Great Power Age) and Sweden of the time is called a stormakt (great power). This terminology is not evident and it has a history. Before the middle of the 19th century, historians did not denote the 17th century as an age of any specific greatness, although king Gustav II Adolf was lauded for his performance in the Thirty Year’s
