Rational and theological criticism: A contribution to the understanding of Swedish eighteenth-century historiographyDuring the eighteenth century, several Swedish historians practiced a reasonbased form of criticism, above all when analysing the medieval period. This critical method entailed that events that seemed not to stand the test of reason, such as miracle stories, were not only seen as purDuring the eighteenth century, several Swedish historians practiced a reasonbased form of criticism, above all when analysing the medieval period. This critical method entailed that events that seemed not to stand the test of reason, such as miracle stories, were not only seen as purely fictional but were also severely criticized as a symptom of the poor intellectual standards of the era.

Maritime transport faces increasing pressure to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to be in accordance with the Paris Agreement. For this to happen, low- and zero-carbon energy solutions need to be developed. In this paper we draw on sustainability transition literature and introduce the technological innovation system (TIS) framework to the field of maritime transportation research. The TIS appr

There is a heavy dependence on cars for people living in rural areas and small towns. The countryside has so far been left out of the transition to carbon-free transport, and public transport shares are low in rural areas. New information and communication technology (ICT) solutions and autonomous vehicles (AVs) have the potential to improve the conditions for public transport in rural areas, as t

The present article is situated in an unexplored embodied geography with re-lation to Gender Studies and Alternative Feminist Pedagogies: the department of Santander in Colombia, located in the north eastern part of the country. It presents the results of empirical application of the autobiographical method created with the aim of considering possibilities to decolonize learning pro-cesses in univ

In a grassroots effort to counter the institutional and state-centred narratives on disarmament, demobilisation, and reintegration (DDR) processes conceptualised by the Integrated DDR Standards of the United Nations, the NGO Corporación Descontamina has organised local projects around what it has identified as significant problems in previous work carried out in a Bucaramanga men’s jail where ex-p

Although the US and NATO invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 was ideologically justified under the banner of democracy and women’s rights, the latter issue has been completely forgotten within the public sphere since then. As the war has officially ended in Afghanistan, new forms of misogyny and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) have arisen. The ‘post-war’ Afghan context presents an institutiona

In 2012, the ‘Delhi rape’ brought renewed attention to the long-standing problem of violence against women (VAW) in India, unraveling entrenched structures of oppression against women. However, despite the introduction of the 2013 Rape Law, women still face high levels of sexual violence. If much has been written on VAW in India and the complexity of Indian federalism, very few studies engage with

The reflections compiled in this chapter emerge from the two fieldwork investigations conducted in Brazil (2016) and Colombia (2015). The first one, carried out in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, aims to understand and analyse the nature and the impacts of police violence, as well as resistance emerging in that context, based on women’s testimonies. The second one has been implemented with the coll

As we write this chapter about reinterpreting women’s roles in peacebuilding, Colombia is at a turning point. On November 24, 2016, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia—People’s Army (FARC-EP) and the national government signed a historical agreement that ended the 60-year-long armed conflict. How this peace and the social reconciliation that it requires will be implemented remain to be seen

Colombia has been divided by armed conflict for over half a century. While still confronting multiple forms of violence, since the beginning of the peace talks in 2012 public attention in Colombia has shifted to social reconciliation. In June 2014, Colombians re-elected Juan Manuel Santos as president, his campaign having made peace the centre of attention. The peace negotiations in Havana have be

Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) programs have systematically failed to reintegrate women into civilian society adequately: both academic knowledge and policy orientations have been misleading about female ex-combatants’ political post-war engagement. This working paper aims to critically analyze the reintegration of the female combatants by comparing the Maoists (Nepal) and Fa
