Abstract This article provides an analysis of kennings for ‘raven’ and ‘eagle’, taking a closer look at the choice and meanings of base-words, their connection with determinants and the formation of kenning patterns. It investigates the role of kenning parts in establishing the meaning of the referent, also taking into consideration adjectives and adjectival elements of compounded base-words. The article is also a test case for how information can be drawn from a new kenning lexicon in form of an online-database. The database format offers various possibilities to structure the corpus of kennings, for instance allowing the article’s focus on details concerning the construction of kennings and the usage and combination of base-words and determinants.

Abstract In the article KYKA / 1984 is studied as a concrete experiment with the printed book as a medium and with the double-book-format. Karin Moe is in this text dealing with questions concerning the relationship between work and text, and between work, text and reader. The article is an exploration of the design and the composition of the book, and it also explores several kinds of transtextuality, which are establishing interconnections with other literary works and genres. Questions raised by Moe in KYKA / 1984 concerning language and gender are also examined. An important objective of the article is to uncover how and why an experimental and critical investigation is carried out in a book copying a well-known commercial format.

Abstract There are several reasons why it is of great importance to include the kennings of the metrical runic inscriptions in thorough investigations of kennings, albeit their number is not particularly high. One reason for this is that there are Viking-Age metrical inscriptions with kennings attested from Eastern Scandinavia, and mostly in eddic metres. Further, some of these kennings belong to the oldest kennings we know at all from Scandinavia, e. g. the kennings of the Theoderic-stanza on the Swedish Rök stone are older than the work of Bragi Boddason. To make it easier for further research to include these kennings, this article gives a short overview of this material. It is worth considering the kennings of the metrical runic inscriptions, for they show a great variety and they are highly developed. Beside the use of tvíkennt and rekit kennings, they testify the knowledge of half-kennings and the poetic device of ofljóst in medieval Norway.

Abstract To shed light on questions pertaining to the similarities and differences between kennings in Old English and in the Poetic Edda, a survey is undertaken of the density of kenning use in the two corpora. The likeliest conclusion to be drawn from a comparison of findings is that the two poetic traditions are rather similar in regard to kenning use. In both traditions, kennings are notably simpler and less riddle-like than in skaldic poetry, though the Edda contains a few kennings of sufficient complexity to suggest skaldic influence. Although kennings, on average, occur more frequently in Old English, the incidence is broadly similar to that in the Poetic Edda. Kennings are not uncommonly explained by the use of variation (apposition) in Old English, but less commonly in the Edda, although the difference does not specifically suggest discrepant attitudes toward kenning use in the two traditions, since variation is rare in the Edda under all circumstances. Although the possibility of the influence of one tradition upon the other cannot be ruled out, the similarities, in the main, are probably best explained as the result of common inheritance. This explanation garners support from the number of instances in which more or less precise cognate kennings appear in the two bodies of literature.

Abstract The article explores whether reading Lene Ask’s documentary graphic novel Kjære Rikard (‘Dear Rikard’) may provide children and adults with training in, and an increased awareness of the importance of, emotional literacy and theory of mind. In order to investigate this question, the authors of the article conduct a close reading of Ask’s novel, using terminology from narratology, picture book and comics’ theory, and look for connections between the findings from the analyses and insights from reader-response theory and cognitive literary studies. The authors suggest that in combination, Ask’s fictive and documentarist drawings and the excerpts from the hand-written correspondence between young Rikard in Stavanger and his father, a missionary in Madagaskar in the 1890s, invite both children and adult readers to develop a keen sense of the value of emotional literacy and theory of mind.

Abstract This article considers two comedy sketches that poke fun at cabin culture, a key praxis in contemporary Norway. The sketches are examples of what philosopher Simon Critchley calls «comedy of recognition», reflecting rather than challenging common experiences and beliefs. Focusing on the attitudes held by men and women toward cabins, the article examines how in particular masculinity is experienced and performed in this setting. The article concludes that cabins express complex feelings connected to personal, gender and national identities, and that they are therefore an apt vehicle for comedy about what it means to be Norwegian today.

Wer heute das Fach Skandinavistik studiert, findet eine Vielzahl von neuen Einführungen, die einen Überblick über Inhalte, Probleme und Forschungsgeschichte der Teilgebiete dieses Faches geben. So füllt die vorliegende Einführung zur altwestnordischen Sprache und Literatur eine Lücke im Fachbereich der Altskandinavistik und skandinavistischen Mediävistik. Zweck des vorliegenden Buches („Der Blick nach vorn“) ist es, getreu der humanistischen Tradition, „Berührungsängste abzubauen“ (S. XIX) und die uns an sich ferne altwestnordische Sprache mit ihren (mehr oder weniger) exotischen Literaturformen zu erschließen. Nach Auskunft der Autoren ist das Buch für Fachleute und Neulinge gleichermaßen geeignet:

Abstract In recent cosmopolitan work, scholars such as Julia Kristeva, Zygmunt Bauman, Jacques Derrida, and Ulrich Beck have represented the stranger as a universal ideal for our global age and Georg Simmel’s stranger in the Exkurs über den Fremden has been emphasized as a model for this ideal. While these uses can be justified by generalized passages in Simmel’s essay, they still omit the problem of European Jewish historical exemplarity. Thus, in the decades before Simmel’s essay, this stranger type was already a well-developed figure related to the so-called Jewish question. Georg Brandes and Henrik Pontoppidan used the Jewish stranger to evaluate the societal changes of the fin-de-siècle period and questions of progress vs. decay. Yet, their work limited the stranger to a specific type of Jewishness not including other marginal existences. Hence, reading Simmel with Brandes and Pontoppidan outlines the boundaries of this stranger type as it raises questions regarding recent cosmopolitan uses of Simmel’s stranger.
摘要在最近的世界性著作中，Julia Kristeva、Zygmunt Bauman、Jacques Derrida和Ulrich Beck等学者将陌生人描述为我们这个全球时代的普遍理想，Georg Simmel在Exkursüber den Fremden的陌生人被强调为这一理想的典范。虽然这些用法可以通过西梅尔文章中的概括段落来证明，但它们仍然省略了欧洲犹太人历史例证的问题。因此，在西梅尔发表文章之前的几十年里，这个陌生人类型已经是一个与所谓的犹太问题有关的成熟人物。格奥尔格·布兰德斯（Georg Brandes）和亨里克·蓬托皮丹（Henrik Pontoppidan。然而，他们的作品将陌生人局限于一种特定类型的犹太性，不包括其他边缘存在。因此，与Brandes和Pontoppidan一起阅读Simmel，勾勒出了这种陌生人类型的界限，因为它引发了人们对Simmel的陌生人最近在世界范围内的使用的质疑。
