If Christianity, he concludes, “brings us more certain information”, it is appropriate and right to accept it (II.13). A clearer conception of where one goes after death is posited as the single most significant attraction of the new Christian faith. It is perhaps unsurprising, then, that the core element of lay belief in Norway and Iceland, according to Nedkvitne, was “doctrines about eternal life and salvation” (p. 310). In this book, Carlsen takes a look at some of the narratives generated by these core Christian beliefs: visions of the afterlife in Old Norse 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":"Christian Carlsen: Visions of the Afterlife in Old Norse Literature","attachmentId":118382556,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/124095187/Christian_Carlsen_Visions_of_the_Afterlife_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/124095187/Christian_Carlsen_Visions_of_the_Afterlife_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="1" data-entity-id="31306806" 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/31306806/Speculum_Review_of_L_B_Mortensen_and_T_M_S_Lehtonen_eds_with_A_Bergholm_The_Performance_of_Christian_and_Pagan_Storyworlds_Non_Canonical_Chapters_of_the_History_of_Nordic_Medieval_Literature_Medieval_Identities_Socio_Cultural_Spaces_3_Turnhout_Brepols_2013">Speculum Review of L.

The holy and the pre-Christian dead are read as representations of two different pasts: the collective Christian past of medieval Europe inherited by Scandinavia through conversion; and the indigenous, pagan past which informed many facets of medieval Scandinavian society. Depictions of the dead shed light on the negotiation of religious and cultural identity in medieval Norway and Iceland, as they provided one way for a medieval audience to encounter and confront aspects of these pasts. This thesis situates depictions of saints’ relics and other remains within a theoretical framework drawn from the discipline of museology. As museums represent the past through the interpretation of objects, they provide an interesting conceptual model through which to view the medieval Church and the relationship it facilitated between the living and the holy dead. The space of the church is understood through the application of structuralist and philosopher Michel Foucault’s work within the field of museum studies, and museum processes are used to further engage with the place of the dead within it. The medieval church is here interpreted as a heterotopia, which like a museum, can juxtapose temporally and geographically varied pasts within a single location, as well as uniting terrestrial and celestial places within Foucault’s conception of medieval space. Chapter 1 investigates textual accounts of the medieval church in Old Norse literature as a place to encounter the holy dead through the presence of holy relics. It addresses Norway’s participation in the Cult of the Saints through the discovery, translation and enshrinement of Saint Óláfr’s relics, and argues that depictions of these events permit Norway to partake in the collective inheritance of the Christian past through the creation of its first indigenous saint. Chapter 2 considers Iceland’s relationship to the past illustrated through encounters with the holy and the pre-Christian indigenous dead. Like Norway, Iceland enters the Christian past through the cult of its first indigenous saint, Saint Þorlákr, which necessitates negotiating the relationship to the relatively recent pre-Christian past. Depictions of “reverse-translations” in Laxdæla saga and Egils saga Skallagrímssonar are viewed as representations of attempts on Iceland’s part to reconcile its Christian present and its pagan past.</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":"EMBODYING THE PAST: Relics and Remains in Old Norse Literature","attachmentId":66287318,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/46916996/EMBODYING_THE_PAST_Relics_and_Remains_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/46916996/EMBODYING_THE_PAST_Relics_and_Remains_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="4" data-entity-id="26513271" 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/26513271/_Body_and_Soul_in_Old_Norse_Culture_in_Intellectual_Culture_in_Medieval_Scandinavia_c_1100_1350_ed_by_Stefka_G_Eriksen_Disputatio_28_Brepols_2016_pp_393_428">"Body and Soul in Old Norse Culture", in Intellectual Culture in Medieval Scandinavia, c. 1100-1350, ed. by Stefka G.

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.

The assembled authors examine the arrière-scène of saga literature; the nexus of skaldic poetry and saga narrative; medieval and post-medieval gender roles; and other manifestations of language, time, and place as preserved in Old Norse–Icelandic texts. This volume will be welcomed not only by the specialist and by scholars in adjacent fields but also by the avid general reader, drawn in ever-increasing number to the Icelandic sagas and their world.

At the time, visio, when used as a generic term, most often referred to Christian morally instructive narratives about people who journey to Heaven, Purgatory and Hell and about what they see and experience there. Such journeys are undertaken involuntarily by the soul (anima, spiritus) of the person who is experiencing the vision while the body remains behind, lying still and usually lifeless because the person is close to death, dreaming or in some sort of trance. The author suggests that the term leizla was chosen in order to provide a contrast to the pre-existing Norse tradition of similar journeys. This included narratives similar to such visions, namely narratives about journeys to the realm of the dead and back again and about journeys undertaken during a trance with only the soul going abroad while the body remains behind. Yet while the Christian visio narratives at the time of the earliest Old Norse translations usually feature a guide, often an angel or a saint, leading the visionary through the otherworld, there is no guide featured in the indigenous Norse narratives; in these, people always travel alone. This difference may be exactly what is indicated by the term leið-sla. The author evaluates this theory in relation to the translation of vision narratives from Latin into other Northern, Eastern and Western European languages during the Middle Ages and concludes that, within the (West) Norse area, visionary narratives of this kind were translated during a period of time when the need for a precise designation – leizla, ‘guiding’ – was greater there than in other geographical-linguistic areas.</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 term leizla in Old Norse vision literature – contrasting imported and indigenous genres?","attachmentId":51636344,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/31225200/The_term_leizla_in_Old_Norse_vision_literature_contrasting_imported_and_indigenous_genres","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/31225200/The_term_leizla_in_Old_Norse_vision_literature_contrasting_imported_and_indigenous_genres"><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></div><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--wrapper js-loswp-sticky-ctas hidden"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--grid-container"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--container"><button class="ds2-5-button js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"continue-reading-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":86923449,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}">See full PDF</button><button class="ds2-5-button ds2-5-button--secondary js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"download-pdf-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":86923449,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 20px" translate="no">download</span>Download PDF</button></div></div></div><div class="ds-below-fold--grid-container"><div class="ds-work--container js-loswp-embedded-document"><div class="attachment_preview" data-attachment="Attachment_86923449" style="display: none"><div class="js-scribd-document-container"><div class="scribd--document-loading js-scribd-document-loader" style="display: block;"><img alt="Loading..." src="//a.academia-assets.com/images/loaders/paper-load.gif" /><p>Loading Preview</p></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="scribd--no-preview-alert js-preview-unavailable"><p>Sorry, preview is currently unavailable.
