    Lyle Tompsen, Student Number 28001102, Masters Dissertation The Mari Lwyd and the Horse Queen: Palimpsests of Ancient ideas A dissertation submitted to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Celtic Studies 2012 Lyle Tompsen 1 Lyle Tompsen, Student Number 28001102, Masters Dissertation Abstract The idea of a horse as a deity of the land, sovereignty and fertility can be seen in many cultures with Indo-European roots. The earliest and most complete reference to this deity can be seen in Vedic texts from 1500 BCE. Documentary evidence in rock art, and sixth century BCE Tartessian inscriptions demonstrate that the ancient Celtic world saw this deity of the land as a Horse Queen that ruled the land and granted fertility. Evidence suggests that she could grant sovereignty rights to humans by uniting with them (literally or symbolically), through ingestion, or intercourse. The Horse Queen is represented, or alluded to in such divergent areas as Bronze Age English hill figures, Celtic coinage, Roman horse deities, mediaeval and modern Celtic masked traditions. Even modern Welsh traditions, such as the Mari Lwyd, infer her existence and confirm the value of her symbolism in the modern world. 2 Lyle Tompsen, Student Number 28001102, Masters Dissertation Table of Contents List of definitions: ............................................................................................................ 8 Introduction ..................................................................................................................

    Im Herbst 2016 trafen sich etwa siebzig Popmusikforscher*innen an der Karl-Franzens- Stefanie Alisch, Susanne Binas-Preisendörfer, Universität im österreichischen Graz. Das Thema der zweiten Konferenz des deutsch- Werner Jauk (Hg.) sprachigen Zweiges der International Association for the Study of Popular Music (IASPM D-A-CH) lautete Darüber hinaus … Populäre Musik und Überschreitung(en). Mit diesem Band legen wir den Großteil der auf der Konferenz gehaltenen und diskutier- ten Vorträge in schriftlicher und somit überarbeiteter Form vor und hoffen, damit nicht nur eine angemessene Dokumentation derselben vorzulegen, sondern v. a. wichtige Denkanstöße zur weiteren Vertiefung dieses vielschichtigen Themas zwischen »interner« Darüber hinaus … Zuschreibung und »externem« Herauslesen zu geben. Aspekte der Überschreitung scheinen offensichtlich unabhängig von spezifischen Populäre Musik kulturellen und historischen Kontexten als ein charakteristisches Merkmal populärer Musik gewertet zu werden, ihrer Praktiken, Medien und Theorien sowie Methoden und Überschreitung(en) ihrer Forschung. Der Band folgt der Systematik der Konferenz entlang der Themen- schwerpunkte: gesellschaftliche/politische Überschreitungen & Populäre Musik (1), Proceedings Überschreitungen in und zwischen den (künstlerischen) Medien und Populärer Musik (2) und Überschreitungen bei der Erforschung populärer Musik (3). 2.
