  • 34 Iceland As an Imaginary Place in a European
    ICELAND AS AN IMAGINARY PLACE IN A EUROPEAN CONTEXT – SOME LITERARY REPRESENTATIONS Sveinn Yngvi Egilsson University of Iceland [email protected] Abstract The article focuses on the image of Iceland and Iceland as an imaginary place in literature from the nineteenth century onwards. It is especially concerned with the aesthetics or discourse of the sublime, claiming that it is the common denominator in many literary images of Iceland. The main proponents of this aesthetics or discourse in nineteenth-century Icelandic literature are discussed before pointing to further developments in later times. Among those studied are the nineteenth-century poets Bjarni Thorarensen (1786-1841), Jónas Hallgrímsson (1807- 1845), Grímur Thomsen (1820-1896) and Steingrímur Thorsteinsson (1831-1913), along with a number of contemporary Icelandic writers. Other literary discourses also come into play, such as representing Iceland as "the Hellas of the North", with the pastoral mode or discourse proving to have a lasting appeal to Icelandic writers and often featuring as the opposite of the sublime in literary descriptions of Iceland. Keywords Icelandic literature, Romantic poetry; the discourse of the sublime, the idea of the North; pastoral literature. This article will focus on the image of Iceland and on Iceland as an imaginary place in literature from the nineteenth century onwards. It will especially be concerned with the aesthetics of the sublime, claiming that it is the common denominator in many literary images of Iceland. The main proponents of this aesthetics in nineteenth-century Icelandic literature are discussed before pointing to further developments in later times. By looking at a number of literary works from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, it is suggested that this aesthetics can be seen to continue in altered form into the present day.

  • Department of Scandinavian Studies
    DEPARTMENT OF Scandinavian Studies Message from the Chair TERJE LEIREN Celebrating the centennial of its founding is a significant milestone for any institution, no less an academic department at a major research university. Since its establishment by an act of the Washington State Legislature in 1909, the Department of Scandinavian Studies has grown and prospered, largely due to the dedication of its faculty and staff and the excellent character and quality of its students. To com- memorate the milestone, several celebratory events, including lectures, dinners, special programs, and conferences are being scheduled between now and the summer of 2010. Please stay in touch with us, check our departmental website, and plan to attend as many events as you can over the next two years. Of course, at the heart of what we do in the Department is teaching and scholarship. Cutting-edge research and innovative teaching enhance and broaden our knowledge about, and appreciation of, the Nordic region. Our comprehensive language programs and wide range of course offerings focusing on the five Nordic countries and the three Baltic countries make the Department unique in the world. The UW is the only North American university that regularly teaches Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian. In 2009–2010, we will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Baltic Studies program. By its very nature, the teaching at a research university is informed by the research of its teachers. All of the faculty in the Department of Scandinavian Studies are active scholars who bring their SPRING 2008 research back into the classroom, whether it be for a graduate seminar on literary theory, a discus- sion of Strindberg’s Paris, a broad introductory course on Scandinavian culture, or an advanced undergraduate course on the cinematic expressions of Scandinavian attitudes about sexuality or crime fiction.

  • Reflections of Celtic Influence in Hildinavisen
    Reflections of Celtic Influence in Hildinavisen Rasa Baranauskienė Vilnius University The Orkneys seem to have been of particular importance in transmitting certain Celtic material. Gísli Sigurðsson argues, however, that it is more likely that cultural contacts and exchanges which took place in the Orkneys between Icelandic and Gaelic-speaking people were limited to single motifs, tales or poems. This does not mean that the single features are limited in number, only that they are found as single items in a tradition which had to be built up in Iceland from the cultural elements available in the coun- try itself (Gísli Sigurðsson 1988: 42). Though the Orkneys were an ideal meeting place where Scandinavian and Celtic cultures could exchange traditions, the Gaelic custom in question existed in Iceland as well, having been brought there by the Gaelic settlers. It is another matter that these traditions could be reinforced because of the contacts in the Orkneys (Gísli Sigurðsson 1988: 44). Among the most important elements identified as transmitted through the contacts via the Orkneys are stories including Hjaðningavíg ‘The Battle of Hjadnings’. Einar Ólafur Sveinsson assumes that Celtic tales played an important part in forming Icelandic ideas about the everlasting fight – a motif which becomes extremely common in Iceland, relevant right down to the 19th century, but is rare in the Scandinavian tra- dition (Einar Ólafur Sveinsson 1959: 17–18). Háttalykill, ‘Clavis metrica’ or ‘Key to Metres’ composed in the Orkneys in the 1140 by an Icelander and the Orkney Earl Rognvaldr kali, contains what is believed to be the earliest reference to the ‘Everlasting fight’ motif in Old Norse / Icelandic literature, the motif being taken over from the Irish 9th century tale Cath Maige Tuired ‘The Battle of Mag Tuired’ (Chesnutt 1968: 132).

  • Scandinavian & Nordic Collections
    A GUIDE TO: SCANDINAVIAN & NORDIC COLLECTIONS Scope of the Collection It should be noted that although the term Nordic more accurately describes the collection of the topography, history and literature etc. of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands, the term Scandinavian is used here as it reflects the majority of our holdings in this field. The Library has built up a notably strong collection of books in subjects of Scandinavian interest (in the original languages and in English), with a particular emphasis on Swedish material. A large part of the collection will be found under the relevant shelfmarks in the main Literature, History and Topography sections of the Library, which are detailed below, with further representation in the Bibliography, Philology and Religion sections. Dictionaries and grammars in all major Scandinavian languages are included in the collection, together with some historic guide books to the region. With the exception of the Literature section, relevant material in English and in Scandinavian languages is shelved together in each of the subject areas. Suggestions for specific additions to the collection may be directed to the Acquisitions Department. Literature Works of Scandinavian literature have been arranged under the following subdivisions; as throughout the Library’s collections, these shelfmarks are arranged on the shelves in alphabetical order. L. Danish Lit. and L. Finnish Lit. are in the 2nd Floor Literature sections; L. Icelandic Lit., L. Norwegian, L. Scandinavian Lit. and L. Swedish Lit. are in 4th Floor Literature. L. Danish Lit., Hist. of – for general literary criticism and works on the history of Danish literature, in all languages.

When citing this work, cite the original published paper. Permanent link to this version: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-145841 JOURNAL OF NORTHERN STUDIES Vol. 11 • No. 2 • 2017, pp. 7–30 SIRPA AALTO & VELI-PEKKA LEHTOLA The Sami Representations Reflecting the Multi-Ethnic North of the Saga Literature ABSTRACT This article focuses on contextualizing the Sami (finnar) representations in Old Norse saga literature. The purpose is to show that the Sami representations reflect multi-layered Old Norse textual and oral traditions, and complex interaction between the Sami and the Norwegians in the Middle Ages. The stereotypes of the Sami tell us more about the society that created them than about real, historical events. We can be sure that behind them lie very mundane phenomena such as trade and marriages. The ultimate goal of the article is therefore to reveal the multi-eth- nic North that provided the background for the saga sources, a North whose history is not as homogeneous as sources suggest and quite unlike the modified version which found its way into the histories of nation states. The literary conventions of sagas are not just imaginary tales— their use in various contexts can reveal something essential in other- wise schematic images or configurations.
