  • How Uniform Was the Old Norse Religion?
    II. Old Norse Myth and Society HOW UNIFORM WAS THE OLD NORSE RELIGION? Stefan Brink ne often gets the impression from handbooks on Old Norse culture and religion that the pagan religion that was supposed to have been in Oexistence all over pre-Christian Scandinavia and Iceland was rather homogeneous. Due to the lack of written sources, it becomes difficult to say whether the ‘religion’ — or rather mythology, eschatology, and cult practice, which medieval sources refer to as forn siðr (‘ancient custom’) — changed over time. For obvious reasons, it is very difficult to identify a ‘pure’ Old Norse religion, uncorroded by Christianity since Scandinavia did not exist in a cultural vacuum.1 What we read in the handbooks is based almost entirely on Snorri Sturluson’s representation and interpretation in his Edda of the pre-Christian religion of Iceland, together with the ambiguous mythical and eschatological world we find represented in the Poetic Edda and in the filtered form Saxo Grammaticus presents in his Gesta Danorum. This stance is more or less presented without reflection in early scholarship, but the bias of the foundation is more readily acknowledged in more recent works.2 In the textual sources we find a considerable pantheon of gods and goddesses — Þórr, Óðinn, Freyr, Baldr, Loki, Njo3rðr, Týr, Heimdallr, Ullr, Bragi, Freyja, Frigg, Gefjon, Iðunn, et cetera — and euhemerized stories of how the gods acted and were characterized as individuals and as a collective. Since the sources are Old Icelandic (Saxo’s work appears to have been built on the same sources) one might assume that this religious world was purely Old 1 See the discussion in Gro Steinsland, Norrøn religion: Myter, riter, samfunn (Oslo: Pax, 2005).

Keywords Transformation of Urban Waterfronts, Port Cities Planning, Cultures, Unique Features, Helsinki, Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Køge, Dublin, Gothen- burg, Northern Europe Copyright © 2013 RETE - All rights reserved Oslo 1996 For several decades now, port cities worldwide have been restruc- turing former derelict docks and waterfronts in their inner cities. Their abandonment and the subsequent reclamation of the waterfront can only be understood in the context of worldwide restructuring, changes in dock labour and the spatial framework of city and port. Differences in cause, procedure, results and planning traditions must be taken into account. Transformation and reclamation is not simply a matter of architectural design, but is also comprised of a complex set of planning, institutional, political, client-related, economic, ecological, legal and financial questions. For this reason comparative case studies, such as those highlighted here, help to identify local characteristic features that may provide opportunities for port and city, water and land, history, the present day and the future merge into a new symbiosis. The last frontier of urban waterfront regeneration: Northern Europe This issue compiles articles on waterfront transformation in North- ern European seaports. The question is raised as to whether these projects share similar characteristics; is there a specific Northern European tradition and planning culture that typifies these projects? How do they differ from those in Southern Europe, or the Mediter- ranean region, North America, or Asia? First of all, the term Northern Europe needs defining.

  • Summary of Advances in Ece Theory, 2005 - 2010
    ESSAY 7: SUMMARY OF ADVANCES IN ECE THEORY, 2005 - 2010. The Einstein Cartan Evans (ECE) unified field theory has swept the world of physics since inception in 2003 as can be seen objectively from the attached overview file of about one hundred and fifty pages, and attached monthly synopsis. This is a synopsis of the highest quality interest in ECE, a small percentage of the huge total interest. The latter is backed up on computer and available on request. On 28th February 2005 it was recognized by a British High Honour, the appointment of Prof. M. W. Evans to H. M. Civil List in recognition of distinguished service to Great Britain in science. Prof. Evans=s predecessor in chemical physics was Michael Faraday, his predecessors in physics include Sir William Rowan Hamilton and Oliver Heaviside, his predecessors in chemistry include John Dalton and James Joule, and in astronomy William Herschel and Sir George Airy, Astronomers Royal. Since Prof. Evans is a U. S. dual citizen, ECE theory has been recognized in the United States in twenty six editions of the world=s leading reference vehicle, AMarquis Who=s Who@. On July 7th 2008 Prof. Evans was raised to Armiger (rank of Gentleman with coat of arms) in further recognition of ECE theory and his omnia opera. On July 20th 2010 he attended a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace at the invitation of Queen Elizabeth II in further recognition of ECE theory and numerous other achievements, honours and awards. In 2010 the main ECE website, www.aias.us was recognized as an outstanding web site and archived in the National Library of Wales under www.webarchive.org.uk.
