Facing the Sea
Essays in Swedish Maritime Studies
Leos Müller , Simon Ekström
The sea has many faces. Some are calm and welcoming, others ferocious and death-dealing. For centuries of human history, the sea has seen peaceful trade and war, life and death and failure.
In Facing the Sea we meet Swedish experiences of the sea. We can read about smugglers from the Åland Islands, about British privateers seizing Swedish ships, and about Swedish naval officers defending the honour of the flag. We also learn what a disaster at sea or the salvage of a shipwreck can say about past and present societies, and why more and more Swedes choose burial at sea for their loved ones. We hear the voices of children who made the dangerous escape to Sweden in wartime by crossing the Baltic Sea.
These are a few of the stories written by the eleven researchers who present a smorgasbord of recent work carried out at the Centre for Maritime Studies (CEMAS) at Stockholm University. The contributors are historians, ethnologists, and maritime archaeologists associated with the centre.
Swedish:
Havet har flera ansikten – ofta rofyllt och välkomnande, men också våldsamt och dödsbringande. I årtusenden har havet varit en scen för liv, handel och krig och misslyckanden.
I Facing the Sea får vi ta del av svenska erfarenheter av havet. Vi får läsa om smugglare från Åland, brittiska kapare som beslagtar svenska skepp och marinofficerare som kämpar för flaggans heder. Vi ser också vad en katastrof till sjöss eller bärgandet av ett skeppsvrak kan berätta om samhället i dåtid och nutid, och varför allt fler människor väljer att begrava sina anhöriga till sjöss. Rösterna av barn som i krigstid tagit den farliga flyktvägen över Östersjön ger ytterligare en dimension till innehållet.
Facing the Sea har författats av elva forskare som tillsammans representerar ett axplock av den forskning som bedrivs vid Centrum för maritima studier (CEMAS) vid Stockholms universitet. Författarna är historiker, etnologer och marinarkeologer med koppling till forskningscentret.
