It seeks to establish the relationship of the various valkyrja reflexes of the culture under study with other supernatural females (particularly the dísir) through the close and careful examination of primary source material, thereby proposing a new model of base supernatural femininity for the late Iron Age. The study then goes on to examine how the valkyrjur themselves deviate from this ground state, interrogating various aspects and features associated with them in skaldic, Eddic, prose and iconographic source material as seen through the lens of the hall-based warrior elite, before presenting a new understanding of valkyrja phenomena in this social context: that valkyrjur were used as instruments to propagate the pre-existing social structures of the culture that created and maintained them throughout the late Iron Age.

  • WAGNER and the VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’S Works Is More Closely Linked with Old Norse, and More Especially Old Icelandic, Culture
    WAGNER AND THE VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’s works is more closely linked with Old Norse, and more especially Old Icelandic, culture. It would be carrying coals to Newcastle if I tried to go further into the significance of the incom- parable eddic poems. I will just mention that on my first visit to Iceland I was allowed to gaze on the actual manuscript, even to leaf through it . It is worth noting that Richard Wagner possessed in his library the same Icelandic–German dictionary that is still used today. His copy bears clear signs of use. This also bears witness to his search for the meaning and essence of the genuinely mythical, its very foundation. Wolfgang Wagner Introduction to the program of the production of the Ring in Reykjavik, 1994 Selma Gu›mundsdóttir, president of Richard-Wagner-Félagi› á Íslandi, pre- senting Wolfgang Wagner with a facsimile edition of the Codex Regius of the Poetic Edda on his eightieth birthday in Bayreuth, August 1999.

  • The Oral Poetics of Professional Wrestling, Or Laying the Smackdown on Homer
    Oral Tradition, 29/1 (201X): 127-148 The Oral Poetics of Professional Wrestling, or Laying the Smackdown on Homer William Duffy Since its development in the first half of the twentieth century, Milman Parry and Albert Lord’s theory of “composition in performance” has been central to the study of oral poetry (J. M. Foley 1998:ix-x). This theory and others based on it have been used in the analysis of poetic traditions like those of the West African griots, the Viking skalds, and, most famously, the ancient Greek epics.1 However, scholars have rarely applied Parry-Lord theory to material other than oral poetry, with the notable exceptions of musical forms like jazz, African drumming, and freestyle rap.2 Parry and Lord themselves, on the other hand, referred to the works they catalogued as performances, making it possible to use their ideas beyond poetry and music. The usefulness of Parry-Lord theory in studies of different poetic traditions tempted me to view other genres of performance from this perspective. In this paper I offer up one such genre for analysis —professional wrestling—and show that interpreting the tropes of wrestling through the lens of composition in performance provides information that, in return, can help with analysis of materials more commonly addressed by this theory. Before beginning this effort, it will be useful to identify the qualities that a work must possess to be considered a “composition in performance,” in order to see if professional wrestling qualifies. The first, and probably most important and straightforward, criterion is that, as Lord (1960:13) says, “the moment of composition is the performance.” This disqualifies art forms like theater and ballet, works typically planned in advance and containing words and/or actions that must be performed at precise times and following a precise order.

  • Córki Odyna (Sztuka W Dwóch Aktach) Michał Majerski
    Michał Majerski Córki Odyna (Sztuka w dwóch aktach) Michał Majerski Córki Odyna (Sztuka w dwóch aktach) Osoby: (wszystkie są Niemcami) Lukas i Moritz - naukowcy przed 40 Olrun i Holgard – atrakcyjne kobiety ok. 30 Trzech żołnierzy (Polacy) – statyści Akcja dzieje się współcześnie w salonie starego pałacyku, przygranicznej agencji towarzyskiej, obecnie nieczynnej. W rogu salonu w półmroku widać recepcję w stylu amerykańskiego motelu. Na tablicy wiszą klucze od pokoi. Za dużymi oknami noc, słychać dalekie szczekanie psów i pojedyncze strzały. Nagle słychać hałas silnika podjeżdżającego samochodu sportowego, gasi silnik, trzaśnięcie drzwiami. Wśród tych hałasów z radia samochodowego przebijają się fragmenty hymnu niemieckiego. Akt 1 (dzwonek i wołanie zza drzwi): Olga! to ja..otwórzcie - ciemno, nic tu nie widać. (brak reakcji). Olgaaa... (Po chwili drzwi się otwierają, w ciemności widać najpierw tylko sylwetkę mężczyzny który wciąga dużą walizę na kółkach z hotelowymi nalepkami z całego świata. Zapala latarkę w komórce i szuka włącznika do światła. Szuka tego właściwego, ale najpierw zapala czerwony neon "Paradise” a potem do tego dochodzi migający napis „Escort Service". Widać teraz: rura do tańczenia, kanapy, z tyłu ekran telewizora, beamer i duży bałagan. Mężczyzna rozgląda się. Teraz widać go dokładnie: drobny facet w okularach, luźnym i drogim ubraniu . Typ zagubionego naukowca. Widzi ogień w kominku który zaczyna wygasać, więc dokłada drzewa. Otwiera wbudowaną szafę, pełną ubrań damskich. Wyciąga niektóre i ogląda. Otwiera walizę i wyciąga najpierw termos z kawą, potem whisky, zmęczony rzuca się na fotel. Otwierają się drzwi wejściowe i wchodzi mężczyzna w panterce i bronią myśliwską, zaskoczony). Lukas - Stać ! co się tu dzieje ? jak pan tu wszedł ? Moritz - (podrywa się na fotelu) Dzwoniłem, ale drzwi były otwarte L.- (krzyczy) To jest dom prywatny.

  • The Editing of Eddic Poetry Judy Quinn
    A HANDBOOK TO EDDIC POETRY This is the first comprehensive and accessible survey in English of Old Norse eddic poetry: a remarkable body of literature rooted in the Viking Age, which is a critical source for the study of early Scandinavian myths, poetics, culture, and society. Dramatically recreating the voices of the legendary past, eddic poems distil moments of high emotion as human heroes and supernatural beings alike grapple with betrayal, loyalty, mortality, and love. These poems relate the most famous deeds of gods such as Óðinn and Þórr with their adversaries the giants; they bring to life the often fraught interactions between kings, queens, and heroes as well as their encounters with valkyries, elves, dragons, and dwarfs. Written by leading international scholars, the chapters in this volume showcase the poetic riches of the eddic corpus and reveal its relevance to the history of poetics, gender studies, pre-Christian religions, art history, and archaeology. carolyne larrington is Official Fellow and Tutor at St John’s College, University of Oxford. judy quinn is Reader in Old Norse Literature in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic at the University of Cambridge. brittany schorn is a Research Associate in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic at the University of Cambridge.

  • RMN Newsletter 8 2014
    The Retrospective Methods Network Newsletter May 2014 № 8 Edited by Frog Helen F. Leslie and Joseph S. Hopkins Published by Folklore Studies / Dept. of Philosophy, History, Culture and Art Studies University of Helsinki, Helsinki 1 RMN Newsletter is a medium of contact and communication for members of the Retrospective Methods Network (RMN). The RMN is an open network which can include anyone who wishes to share in its focus. It is united by an interest in the problems, approaches, strategies and limitations related to considering some aspect of culture in one period through evidence from another, later period. Such comparisons range from investigating historical relationships to the utility of analogical parallels, and from comparisons across centuries to developing working models for the more immediate traditions behind limited sources. RMN Newsletter sets out to provide a venue and emergent discourse space in which individual scholars can discuss and engage in vital cross- disciplinary dialogue, present reports and announcements of their own current activities, and where information about events, projects and institutions is made available.
