The research is focused on the individual words’ evaluative aspect and on their function within the texts, as well as on the narrative roles of magic as a literary motif and as a cultural concept. The literary motif of magic plays a significant role as a narrative device that enables the construction of multiple layers of meaning in the texts. The cultural concept of magic contributes to the conceptualization of various social and psychological aspects, such as the transformations of political power, gender roles, the transgression of norms, irrational impulses, and diverse forms of otherness. https://www.utzverlag.de/catalog/book/44810","author":[{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Lucie

AD 500 to c. AD 1500). While engaging with transliterations and current scholarly interpretations, along with wider debates with regard to magic, this dissertation identifies perceptions and roles of magic in Old Norse society, with the intention of contributing to the current field of study. For the past century, scholars across various historical disciplines have endeavoured to understand and interpret magic in Old Norse society. Scholarly focus in recent years has centred on the written texts of the Eddas and Icelandic Sagas, with far less consideration of runic inscriptions. Yet, runic inscriptions offer unique evidence of lived mentalities and experiences that are otherwise inaccessible and are therefore a valuable resource worthy of research. A consistent caveat when addressing Old Norse belief and custom is the lack of reliable, available evidence, and speculation and debate surrounding the available evidence, ultimately resulting in inconclusive outcomes. Further, controversy and hostility towards magic is at times a reflection of modern social attitudes and personal, cultural and religious beliefs. This can, and undoubtedly has impeded progress in understanding perceptions of magic in the Viking-Age. Such biases must be addressed, as must the terminology of magic itself and the extent to which modern perceptions of magic are applicable to Old Norse society. Subsequently, this dissertation argues that the thematic evidence from runic inscriptions indicates that magic was a paradox within Old Norse society. A necessary paradox at that: a reflection of the good and the evil; of curse and prophecy; of happiness and sorrow; of health and suffering; of protection and destruction; of war and of peace. Seiðr was unequivocally a fundamental element of Old Norse belief and ritual, weaved extensively throughout societal spheres of wealth, politics, law and warfare. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that the perception of seiðr was real in Old Norse society. Intended to be feared and revered, runic inscriptions exemplify the complicated paradox that was seiðr.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Interpreting Old Norse Magic: A Thematic Analysis of Seiðr, According to Runic Inscriptions.","attachmentId":119236988,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/124030499/Interpreting_Old_Norse_Magic_A_Thematic_Analysis_of_Sei%C3%B0r_According_to_Runic_Inscriptions","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/124030499/Interpreting_Old_Norse_Magic_A_Thematic_Analysis_of_Sei%C3%B0r_According_to_Runic_Inscriptions"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="1" data-entity-id="61523720" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/61523720/Gaeti%C3%B0_ykkar_vel_vi%C3%B0_g%C3%B8rningum_On_the_Translation_of_Magic_and_Magic_Wielders_in_the_Old_Norse_riddaras%C7%ABgur">'Gaetið ykkar vel við gørningum': On the Translation of Magic and Magic Wielders in the Old Norse riddarasǫgur</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="60984901" href="https://hi.academia.edu/FLummer">Felix Lummer</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">2021</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">Transcript of the paper "‘Gætið ykkar vel við gørningum’: On the Translation of Magic and Magic Wielders in the Old Norse riddarasǫgur" presented at the Agents of Magic in Old Norse Literature conference held at the Sorbonne University, France, 5th-6th November 2021.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"'Gaetið ykkar vel við gørningum': On the Translation of Magic and Magic Wielders in the Old Norse riddarasǫgur","attachmentId":74531693,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/61523720/Gaeti%C3%B0_ykkar_vel_vi%C3%B0_g%C3%B8rningum_On_the_Translation_of_Magic_and_Magic_Wielders_in_the_Old_Norse_riddaras%C7%ABgur","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/61523720/Gaeti%C3%B0_ykkar_vel_vi%C3%B0_g%C3%B8rningum_On_the_Translation_of_Magic_and_Magic_Wielders_in_the_Old_Norse_riddaras%C7%ABgur"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="2" data-entity-id="11453619" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/11453619/ARV_Nordic_yearbook_of_Folklore_2014_Vol_70_Special_issue_Magic_and_Texts">ARV Nordic yearbook of Folklore 2014, Vol. 70.

How did people pass on their magical knowledge? What was the dialectics between magical knowledge as beneficial on one hand and dangerous on the other within the different communities? In what way and by whom were traditional methods of folk healing practices considered to be a crime? And how does this relate to general ideas on magicin the communities? By asking these questions the intention of this volume is to provide studies communicating and discussing with as well as challenging the long line of research on magic. Another intention of this volume is to explore and problematize texts as a source: How do we read texts? Whose voices do we interpret? What is the relationship between the magical beliefs and practices we are studying - and the texts? In the study of magical beliefs and practices in Nordic cultural history, a great variety of textual sources are available. In this volume, Fredrik Skott studies magic by making use of juridical laws and trials documents, Stephen Mitchell and Ane Ohrvik investigate individual manuscript writings, Catharina Raudvere uses ethnographic fieldwork notes and Laura Stark reads personal memoirs, while Clive Tolley and Aðalheiður Guðmundsdóttir study Old Norse literature. This diversity of textual sources represents official, “private”, academic, and artistic texts written by individuals and groups from different social and cultural backgrounds. By highlighting texts as a source we thereby give attention to how we use texts in our investigating process and thus explore and explain our methodological apparatus and the potential ideological and material properties in texts.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"ARV Nordic yearbook of Folklore 2014, Vol. 70.

part, on the effects of translation, the role and representation of women and the studies of emotion portrayed in the narratives. However, the effect of translation on supernatural concepts – especially of Old Norse concepts – has, so far, been left unaddressed. The present thesis, thus, aims to bridge this gap in scholarship by investigating how the Old Norse translations and adaptations of Old French chivalric works had an altering and long-lasting effect on the Old Norse mythological landscape. Indeed, the present research project hopes to establish the translated riddarasǫgur as a valued source for the study of the development of Old Norse supernatural concepts. By highlighting the influx of foreign Old French ideas and their impact on the Old Norse literature and mythology, this study aspires to present new approaches regarding the understanding of the development of Old Norse supernatural concepts as well as their subsequent changes. Bearing the human element in translation as well as medieval translation practices in mind, the present thesis investigates twelfth- and thirteenth centuryOld French courtly romances and associated material as well as the thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Old Norse translations, redactions and reworkings thereof. The supernatural motifs (specifically the álfar, dvergar, jǫtnar and different forms of magic and magic wielders) described in these narratives will be examined in detail. The thesis includes an article concerning each concept which studies the differences and similarities in the concept’s presentation and measures the potential long-term effects initiated by the said translations by investigating later fornaldarsǫgur, indigenous riddarasǫgur and Icelandic folk legends.The first paper contained in the present thesis concerns the use of the Old Norse supernatural concept of the álfar (sg. álfr) as a translation for the Old French term fées (sg. fée), while the second article investigates the usage of the word dvergar (sg. dvergr) as a translation for the Old French nains (sg. nain) in the investigated literary corpora. The penultimate article examines the utilisation of the concept of the Old Norse jǫtnar (sg. jǫtunn) as a translation for the Old French idea of the jaiants (sg. jaiant), and the fourth and final article investigates the different notions and manifestations of magic and magic wielders displayed in the investigated Old French sources as well as their respective Old Norse renditions. This research project hopes to open this particular field of research to the broader scientific community by laying down what may be seen as the first stepping-stone for a series of related studies.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Lost in Translation Adapting Supernatural Concepts from Old French Chivalric Literature into the Old Norse riddarasǫgur","attachmentId":101936017,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/101377716/Lost_in_Translation_Adapting_Supernatural_Concepts_from_Old_French_Chivalric_Literature_into_the_Old_Norse_riddaras%C7%ABgur","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/101377716/Lost_in_Translation_Adapting_Supernatural_Concepts_from_Old_French_Chivalric_Literature_into_the_Old_Norse_riddaras%C7%ABgur"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="6" data-entity-id="347086" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/347086/_Garde%C5%82a_L_2009_The_Good_the_Bad_and_the_Undead_New_Thoughts_on_the_Ambivalence_of_Old_Norse_Sorcery_In_A_Ney_H_Williams_and_F_C_Ljungqvist_eds_%C3%81_austrvega_Saga_and_East_Scandinavia_Preprint_Papers_of_The_14th_International_Saga_Conference_Uppsala_9th_15th_August_2009_Volume_1_G%C3%A4vle_G%C3%A4vle_University_Press_2009_285_294">· Gardeła, L.

One recurring focus has been the dependence of native vs. forign tradition in the depiction love and emotions, and not least combinations of these traditions in Old Norse prose and poetry. In the present study, I focus on an aspect which the previous works have only briefly touched upon: the relationship between passion and harm-bringing witchcraft in Old Norse literature. I analyze the different types of combinations of passion and witchcraft, their origins and their transformations. The study involves cases of passion without witchcraft as well as cases of witchcraft without passion, but the main focus is on cases where passion and witchcraft seem to be inseparable.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Passion and Witchcraft in Old Norse Literature","attachmentId":115669924,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/120559760/Passion_and_Witchcraft_in_Old_Norse_Literature","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/120559760/Passion_and_Witchcraft_in_Old_Norse_Literature"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="8" data-entity-id="60127949" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/60127949/Enchantment_and_Anger_in_Medieval_Icelandic_Literature_and_Later_Folklore">Enchantment and Anger in Medieval Icelandic Literature and Later Folklore</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="5906255" href="https://hi.academia.edu/A%C3%B0alhei%C3%B0urGu%C3%B0mundsd%C3%B3ttir">Aðalheiður Guðmundsdóttir</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Fictional Practice: Magic, Narration, and the Power of Imagination, 2021</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">In this chapter, I will examine some narrative patterns of magic in medieval Icelandic literature and later folklore. By focusing on provocative words, or spells, in particular, my aim is to draw some distinct lines between fictional spell-casters, the mental state of excitement and anger, and real-world situations. Consequently, the examination will shed light on the possible relationship between literary fiction and ritual practice. The chapter builds upon previous works within Icelandic folklore and saga scholarship, where spells have been treated as a folktale motif, and mainly as a narrative device.

Its findings are based on an exhaustive study of the numerous texts engaging with this subject, ranging from the Roman era to the publication of the Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus of Olaus Magnus in 1555. The thesis presents and analyses the most common supernatural motifs associated with this Far- Northern area, which include animal transformation, sorcery and pagan worship, as well as speculating about their origins, and analyzes the ways in which such ideas and images evolved, both over time and depending on the nature of the written sources in which they appear. The author argues that Northern Fenno-Scandinavia was thought of as a wild, supernatural and pagan land because of the differences in languages, ways of living and magical practices of its inhabitants, an image partially mirrored in literary texts, some of which are of considerable antiquity. The thesis also notes the way in which the supernatural images associated with the Sámi and Finnic peoples seem to have also become attached to the other Germanic-related people living in the north of Norway, who are also often depicted as supernatural “others” equipped with supernatural or magical skills in the literature.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"The Supernatural Image of Northern Fenno-Scandinavia in Pre-Modern Literature (MA Thesis in Old Norse Religion by Lyonel D.
