Delisted: A Political Story (back in stock)
The book delves into the intricate political complexities that surfaced following the Danish People’s Party’s proposal in 2016 to delist Erik Christian Sørensen’s Viking Ship Hall in Roskilde, demolish it, and allocate 150 million in funding for a new museum ”in Viking style.”
Over the following four years, as experts rose to the building’s defence and as media sporadically fueled the controversy, a nuanced political process unfolded, marked by unexpected alliances, creative diplomacy, and fluid conflict zones. It was a case that offered a rare research opportunity to explore the political agency of architecture as it unfolded in real life.
The pivotal question posed by the book is to what extent did the building function as a political actor? Dag Petersson would soon discover that the Hall did play a role, just not in the way he had anticipated.
