    Masking Moments The Transitions of Bodies and Beings in Late Iron Age Scandinavia Ing-Marie Back Danielsson Masking Moments The Transitions of Bodies and Beings in Late Iron Age Scandinavia Ing-Marie Back Danielsson Stockholm University Doctoral dissertation 2007 Department of Archaeology and Classical Studies Stockholm University 106 91 STOCKHOLM MASKING MOMENTS The Transitions of Bodies and Beings in Late Iron Age Scandinavia Ing-Marie Back Danielsson BA in Archaeology and BSc in Economics and Business Administration Maskerade ögonblick. Förvandlingar av kroppar och väsen i skandinavisk yngre järnålder. (Med en svensk sammanfattning). Abstract This thesis explores bodily representations in Late Iron Age Scandinavia (400–1050 AD). Non-human bodies, such as gold foil figures, and human bodies are analysed. The work starts with an examination and deconstruction of the sex/gender catego- ries to the effect that they are considered to be of minor value for the purposes of the thesis. Three analytical concepts – masks, miniature, and metaphor – are de- ployed in order to interpret how and why the chosen bodies worked within their prehistoric contexts. The manipulations the figures sometimes have undergone are referred to as mask- ing practices, discussed in Part One. It is shown that masks work and are powerful by being paradoxical; that they are vehicles for communication; and that they are, in effect, transitional objects bridging gaps that arise in continuity as a result of events such as symbolic or actual deaths. In Part Two miniaturization is discussed. Miniaturization contributes to making worlds intelligible, negotiable and communicative. Bodies in miniatures in compari- son to other miniature objects are particularly potent.

  • Fifth Annual Colloquium on Thinking About Mythology in the 21St Century
    Fifth Annual Colloquium on Thinking about Mythology in the 21st Century University of Edinburgh 10th–11th November 2017 Room locations: GS – 50 George Square DHT – David Hume Tower ii Abstracts Some Scandinavian and Celtic Magical Texts and Practices Friday 9.45am Stephen Mitchell GS 1.06 Harvard University Throughout his career, the doyen of Old Norse studies, Einar Ól. Sveinsson, promoted the likely connection between Irish and Icelandic literary traditions (e.g., 1929, 1975). Revisited by many other fine scholars over the decades, this question of Hyperborean literary relations was carefully reviewed with respect to the broad spectrum of Celtic traditions, modern as well as ancient, by Rosemary Powers (1987), who specifically focussed on the use of spells (gaesa and álög). One interesting ‘pair’ of this sort, but not part of her corpus, was noted at least as early as 1928 by Jöran Sahlgren (and later, in 1939, by Konstantin Reichardt); it consists of the many points of comparison, including the use of magic, between the Old Irish ‘The Adventures of Connla the Fair’ (Echtrae Chonnlai) and the Old Icelandic eddic poem ‘Skírnir’s Journey’ (Fo˛r Scírnis), and appears to provide a further use- ful aperture for such a comparison. In my paper, I will build on previous work in the area (e.g., Harris 1975; Larrington 1992; Gunnell 1993; Mitchell 2007, 2011), looking to examine taxonomic, rather than phylogenetic, comparisons between these and similar texts, centering on how magic is used in such situations.

This thesis examines how Íslendingasögur outlaw narratives engage with socio-political concepts of community and the individual. It demonstrates that the sagas discussed share key anxieties over the deep structural problems in society, which are shown to restrict the individual agency of their protagonists, a restriction that motivates the transgressive behaviour of these individuals.

Last year a new paradigm emerged-courts applied the test set forth in Hart v. Electronic Arts, Inc. to lawsuits involving celebri- ties' publicity rights in video games, 2 and the Supreme Court validated a new art form in Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association.3 While not new in 2012, an important trend certainly continued in a significant way: the video game industry continued to become more mainstream.4 As video games continue to cross demographic lines and become more ubiquitous, production companies begin to resemble those in other industries. As a result of risk-focused business decisions and industry growth, many of last year's contentious lawsuits have settled. As the scope of a business expands, the variety of its contracts tends to expand as well.
