Electoral Studies / Elusive indeed – The mechanical versus psychological effects of electoral rules at the district level
No full textWhile electoral research has become one of political science’s most fertile areas, to date no empirical contribution has addressed the three mechanisms of the electoral chain – strategic entry, strategic voting, and the electoral system’s mechanical effect – in a unified analytical framework. This paper addresses this shortcoming by analysing the effect of electoral systems on party system size, accounting for all three mechanisms. Our study yields three major findings drawing on constituency-level data covering 462 electoral districts in Finland and Portugal between 1962 and 2011. First, macro-sociological context, measured as cleavages, operate at the district level: An increase in the heterogeneity within a constituency significantly increases party system size. Second, in the two established democracies we examine, we observe that district-level bottom-up coordination takes places. Finally, while our analyses reveal that some strategic voting takes places, it is blurred by a comparatively large amount of non-strategic behaviour by voters. The variance we find surrounding psychological effects is too large to exert a targeted impact. In sum, the mechanical effect turns out to be the most decisive link of the electoral chain

All dödlighets sång och skrian : Studier i Sven Rosendahls naturprosa
No full textPär-Yngve Andersson,”All dödlighets sång och skrian”: Studier i Sven Rosendahls naturprosa (The song and scream of all mortality: Studies in the nature writing of Sven Rosendahl)Sven Rosendahl (1913-1990) was an author of novels as well as of various books about landscape and animals. However, his nature writing has not been devoted much attention by critics or literary scholars. Rosendahl himself expressed at many times his dissatisfaction with this. This study is exclusively devoted to his nature writing, and the aim is thereby to fill a disturbing lacuna in Swedish literary research. Several of his most important books are analysed carefully, from Räven från Krackberget (1941) to Från himmelens fåglar… (1968). Major importance is attached to analyses of style and narrative technique, and issues concerning genres and borders between fact and fiction in this kind of nature writing are discussed. I also refer to researchers in environmental literature and philosophers interested in experiences of nature. Detailed lyrical description is regarded as a kind of basis in Rosendahl’s artful language, but his nature writings are at the same time existential literature. Man is clearly seen as a part of nature, but seems to be the only specie conscious of its own mortality. The author is considering man’s place in this world, among all the other species. Confidence in nature’s reiteration is played off against the mortality of the individual. In later parts of the authorship, his awareness about environmental pollution is clearly evident. It even threats the genre of nature writing itself.</p
The role of Sven Ekman, Adolf Remane, Carl Schlieper and Sven G. Segerstråle in Baltic biology
No full textSven EKMAN (1876-1964), zoogeographer and limnologist in Uppsala, wrote significant articles on marine glacial relicts, drew up a proposal of the natural history division of the Baltic Sea and wrote the textbook "Tiergeographie des Meeres", first of its kind and later published in English as "Zoogeography of the Sea". - Adolf REMANE (1898-1976), zoosystematician and ecologist in Kiel, was one of the first to analyse the faunal composition and communities of the Baltic in "Die Tierwelt der Nord-und Ostsee". A pioneering textbook by him and C. SCHLIEPER "Biologie des Brackwassers" appeared also in English. REMANE found the interstitial habitat. He described numerous new Gastrotrichs, Rotifers and Archiannelids. - Carl SCHLIEPER (*1903), zoophysiologist in Kiel, is the founder of the "School of Baltic physiologists". Studies by him and his many students on salt water tolerance and osmoregulation, ionic and temperature adaptation and high pressure tolerance of aquatic animals are known world wide. He is the co-author of four textbooks. Sven G. SEGERSTRÅLE (*1899), zooecologist in Helsinki, initiated the yearly monitoring of the bottom fauna in coastal waters of Finland. He studied the systematics and ecology of amphipods, especially the genus Gammarus and Pontoporeia and biology of the mussel Macoma balthica. His descriptive articles on the Baltic Sea and studies on marine glacial relicts are well known
Sven Spieker: el archivo en pleno juego
No full textThis essay analyzes Sven
Spieker’s theory of archives
and its historical a priori, as
determined by the notion of game
and the installation of end-of-thecentury
art. This study clarifies
what is the point of view of the
author in his complex book
The Big Archive. A diachronic
perspective starting with a
contemporary analysis of the
archaeological archive founded
in Germany in 1881, and that
extends up to the anti-archive
art, based on an archival impulse,
such as that of Duchamp,
and other inquests that occur
in Surrealism, the galleries
of Russian constructivism,
installation art, etc.Esta comunicação analisa a

perspectiva diacrónica que parte
de uma análise contemporânea
do arquivo arqueológico
fundado na Alemanha em 1881

do antiarquivo ainda que de
impulso arquivístico, como o de
