Welcome to lectures with free entry from 17.45 pm! The Nordenstedtska seminariet is a lecture series financed by the Nordenstedtska Stiftelsen.
Right now, a project is underway that aims to publish the minutes of Lund's exchange, preserved from 1642 onwards. The court records are mostly occupied by disputes and conflicts, sometimes with a fatal outcome. In the spaces between, the protocols also capture the less dramatic everyday life of the Lunda residents. The lecture offers an exposé of individuals and events, everything from dirty words and outrageous behavior to tragedy with bare knives.
The evening's lecturer, Mattias Karlsson, is a doctor in historical archeology at Lund University. He works as an archaeologist at Kulturen and is involved in a number of different ongoing projects, including research related to church roofs, sources of old Lund and Allhelgonaklostret in Lund.
About the Nordenstedt seminar:
The Nordenstedt seminar is organized by Kulturen in Lund and is a series of independent and scientifically anchored lectures with a connection to Kulturen's activities and motto: the forms of human culture in ancient times and the future. The lecturers consist of doctoral staff/doctoral students at Kulturen as well as invited researchers and experts. Each lecture is 60 minutes long, including about 10-15 minutes of question time. The lectures are open to the public, free of charge and do not require registration. We are held in the Auditorium, Kulturen's large lecture hall, and there are usually 50–150 listeners. Please arrive 15 minutes before the start for the best chance of a seat.
