Abstract Although they never met and exchanged only one letter during their lifetime, Danish-German poet and literary critic Heinrich Wilhelm Gerstenberg and German theologian, philosopher and literary critic Johann Gottfried Herder took great interest in each other’s work. Indeed, during the late 1760s Gerstenberg’s writings on literature, history and translation arguably had an immense impact on Herder, providing him with some of the major themes and insights for the Sturm und Drang movement, that took place in Germany around 1770 with Herder in a leading role. On the basis of Herder’s writings and letters from the 1760s throughout his life, this article examines for the first time to what extent Gerstenberg informed Herder’s views on ancient Nordic literature, Shakespeare, Ossian and the concept of genius.

Zusammenfassung The article explores the question to what extent Søren Kierkegaard’s journals, unpublished during his lifetime, manifest a Protestant work ethic in the sense of Max Weber. The journals bear witness to a daily writing process that provides information about Kierkegaard’s conception of his profession as a religious writer. They can be placed in the tradition of pietistic diaries and testify to the awareness of being called as an author. By focusing on the two terms produktivitet and virksomhed, which Kierkegaard uses to reflect on his own activity, numerous parallels can be drawn with Weber’s „concept of profession in ascetic Protestantism“. Accordingly, Kierkegaard speaks of an „intellectual capital“ that he has earned and that he leaves to a posterity without being able to dispose of the use of this inheritance.

Abstract The aim of this article is to explore how non-Christian deities are described, in comparison to the Christian God, in three Old Norse texts, belonging to different genres: Heimskringla, Barlaams saga og Jósafats, Elíss saga ok Rosamundu. These texts describe the pantheons of the Nordic cultures, the Babylonians, the Greeks, the Egyptians, and the Saracens. The main question that I discuss is whether these texts may be seen as transmitting useful knowledge and information about these religions and pantheons to their Nordic audiences or whether they are meant to mainly serve the mandate of their Christian authors. I interpret my results by deploying cognitive literary theory and the concept of mentalization. To conclude, I discuss whether the way non-Christian deities are described may be seen as a mental guide for Old Norse readers to practise mentalization according to the Christian empathetic scripts, in order to reach a deeper cognitive and religious conviction and thus strengthen their Christian identities and communities during the times of the Crusades.
摘要本文的目的是探索在三本属于不同流派的古挪威语文本中,与基督教神相比,非基督教神是如何被描述的:Heimskringla、Barlaams saga og Jósafats、Elíss saga ok Rosamundu。这些文本描述了北欧文化、巴比伦人、希腊人、埃及人和萨拉森人的万神殿。我讨论的主要问题是,这些文本是否可以被视为向北欧受众传递有关这些宗教和万神殿的有用知识和信息,或者它们是否主要是为了履行基督教作者的使命。我通过运用认知文学理论和心理化概念来解释我的研究结果。最后,我讨论了非基督教神的描述方式是否可以被视为古挪威读者根据基督教移情脚本进行心理化的心理指南,以达到更深的认知和宗教信念,从而在十字军东征时期加强他们的基督教身份和社区。

Abstract This article explores heteropian, utopian and dystopian places in Erlend O. Nødtvedt’s 2017 novel, Vestlandet, in order to better understand how the author uses references to regional historical and contemporary figures and events to construct what Edward Said labeled a cultural archive in a larger anti-imperialist project. Language, landscape, and identity form the core of Nødtvedt’s project. This raucously humorous novel activates the Foucauldian heteropias of indefinitely accumulating time and of the festival, as well as Marc Augé’s notion of the non-place in order to comment upon the perceived cultural and political divide between western and eastern Norway.

Abstract In this article, a revised classification of Faroese dialects is presented. Unlike previous classifications, this one takes into account the development and synchronic distribution of unstressed -i’s and -u’s, which has given rise to changes in the inflectional system. In addition to this, it looks both at stressed vowels and aspirated vs. non-aspirated -p, -t, -k after long vowels. As a result of this evidence, necessary changes to the generally accepted classification system are proposed, with four general dialect areas including transition areas.
