In the present article, the approach would be by reconstructing the stage of runicity, and the role that interpreters of runes provided for a community given the presence of runic inscriptions. The focus will be set on the most public displays of runicity as an interaction that demands a reader and interpreter that translates the runic information from its literary reality, to a population that is imbued in an oral culture.

Showing the importance of the narrative structure and fundamental argumentation of Ari Þorgilsson in the genesis of an Icelandic historical ethos that allowed Icelanders to recover, reshaped and made use of their pagan ancestry is important to understand the close relation that Icelanders kept with their past in the centuries following the conversion.
Thus, it will be investigated how Íslendingabók represents an emerging ethos in Icelandic scholar tradition, that re-appropriates the past as praise-worthy but looks forward to a Christian future. In Íslendingabók, Ari chose an array of historical events, that became in the Íslendingasögur creating a Christian narrative that, like the one of many Íslendigasögur, evolves from one pole towards the final resolution. Ari’s narrative gravitates around the Christian origins of the land, and its final rising of an independent Church in the land.
By doing this, Ari created a new cultural ethos in Iceland, that wrote in vernacular rather than Latin, and influenced the narrative structure of the sagas while also rising the indigenous narratives to an scholar production.

El trabajo es un texto sobre la ética de los guerreros escandinavos de la Era Vikinga (797-1100), basado en las Sagas de los Islandeses, Piedras Rúnicas y Versos de los poetas provenientes de Escandinavia. La investigación enseña la manera en que la ética escandinava fue mutando a lo largo del periodo, mostrando la influencia que sobre esta tuvieron el cristianismo, la formación de monarquías y las expediciones vikingas, entre otros factores. El texto muestra, en resumen, en primer lugar, las estructuras socio-culturales de la ética escandinava, en seguida la manera en que unos guerreros aprehendían tales estructuras y las llevaban a la práctica en diferentes periodos, y por último, la manera en que unos guerreros rechazaron la relación con sus dioses al desarrollar su ética desde los principios culturales.

Similar depictions of grief are found in the famous poems Sonatorrek and in the lausavisa 42 by Kormákr Ǫgmundarson, reveling a cultural dispositive by which crisis was dealt with during Viking Age and Medieval Scandinavia. The analysis will highlight the apocalyptic language of the poems as a formulaic dispositive to face trauma, by using the conceptual framework of Trauma Theory and Viktor Frankl’s Logotherapy, in order to disclose how these formulas, help individuals recognize, frame, and deal with loss by communicating the crisis.

Several runic inscriptions contain poetical utterances; runestones like Karlevi and Ågersta convey important information in their inscriptions by means of poetry. The presence of this stanzas rises the question of performativity. The analysis of the relation between performativity and runic poetry will be carried out through three runic artifacts: Karlevi and Årgersta runestones, and the Sigtuna box. Following the theories of First and Second Oralities by Walter Ong, and of textual communities by Brian Stock, a reconstruction of the performative aspects and practices will be intended. The analysis will be contextualized and compared to the performative poems Ragnardrápa attributed to Bragi the old and Haustlǫng ascribed to Þjóðólfr ór Hvini, since both ekphrasis allow the investigator to relate a probable way in which visual images where conveyed orally to a public, and will facilitate and investigation in which a visual utterance is transformed into an oral utterance, that probably required not only the realization of the proper phonemes ascribed to the graphemes, but also the understanding of the presence of a poetic utterance inserted in the prose. Finally, the presentation will relate cases of poetic utterances as presented in the poems of Helgi and in Nornagests þáttr.

Desde el inicio de la historiografía relativa a la Era Vikinga, la interpretación del reinado de Óláfr Tryggvason ha estado dividida entre Adán de Bremen y la escuela islandesa, iniciada por Sæmundr fróði y Ari Þorgilsson; en la representación que hace Adán de Bremen, Óláfr Tryggvason es el primer bautizado entre los noruegos, y aunque patrocinador de la nueva fe, persigue supersticiones y Adán sugiere la posibilidad de que el rey hubiese apostatado antes de su final en batalla. Sæmundr y Ari Þorgilsson lo presentan como un proto santo, muriendo de manera cercana a los mártires de la hagiografía medieval, creando la narrativa del reinado de Óláfr que es más familiar al público. En esta presentación, se intentará evaluar las razones de esta dicotomía historiográfica, evaluando el contexto histórico en el cual operó Óláfr Tryggvason, y la evolución del dogma Cristiano según se hacia el trabajo misionero.
Since the beginning of historiography related to Viking Age, the interpretation of the reign of Óláfr Tryggvason has been divided between the representation of him by Adam of Bremen or the Icelandic school started by Sæmundr fróði and Ari Þorgilsson; in Adam of Bremen's representation, Óláfr Tryggvason is the first baptized among Norwegians and, although a sponsor of the new faith, he still chases after superstitions and even it is suggested to apostatize before the final battle. Sæmundr and Ari represent it as a proto-saint, dying in a similar fashion to the martyrs of medieval hagiography. The following presentation will try to evaluate this historical dichotomy, analyzing the historical context in which king Óláfr operated and the evolution of the christian dogma.

I´ll explore the way that Ari outlines his history of Iceland, as a Christian narrative. In Ari’s account, Iceland was first populated by Irish monks, the papar, but they left because they were unwilling to live among the heathen colonizers that come from Norway. The structure of Íslendingabók have similarities to Bede’s Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, and follows Augustine of Hippo in the conception of Teleology, but also is very original in how historical argumentation is built. This historical argumentation was not built in isolation by Ari Þorgilsson, but was part of an intellectual movement in Iceland that elaborated histories, but nevertheless, all the evidence points to the fact that Ari was the first to ever write in vernacular Icelandic.
Thus, it will be investigated how Íslendingabók represents an emerging ethos in Icelandic scholar tradition, that re-appropriates the past as praise-worthy but looks forward to a Christian future. In Íslendingabók, Ari chose an array of historical events, that became in the Íslendingasögur creating a Christian narrative that, like the one of many Íslendigasögur, evolves from one pole towards the final resolution.

El constante choque de partículas subatómicas, la oposición de fuerzas y la conformación de elementos progresivamente más pesados en el corazón de las estrellas o explosiones de las supernovas sin duda alguna sugiere un universo donde la violencia, la furia de los elementos y destrucción juegan un papel importante en la manera en que este universo se compone. Diapositiva 2La intuición de mi abuela es un buen ejemplo de cómo, en este caso particular gracias a la información científica a la que tuvo acceso, se construye una visión cosmológica. Una visión de los fenómenos físicos universales propende a crear una cosmología una vez esta se une con otras observaciones de la naturaleza, para dar una visión total de lo que es el cosmos. Central para toda cosmología es la creación de una cosmogonía que explique su origen, o una explicación de su eternidad.2 Una importante discusión al conocer la cosmología según la representaron los distintos pueblos germánicos, es las fuentes de las que procede nuestro conocimiento, pues las fuentes de las procede nuestro conocimiento son en su mayoría externas al paganismo Germánico, siendo algunos autores Romanos, como Tácito, y otros cristianos, con distintos niveles de exposición a las cosmogonías que recopilan.3

Em 2022 completam-se dez anos de realização do Colóquio de Estudos Vikings e Escandinavos. O evento consolidou-se como o principal articulador de pesquisas brasileiras na área da Escandinavística. Os estudos nacionais concentraram-se inicialmente em temas relacionados com Mitologia Nórdica e Sagas islandesas, mas com uma melhor inserção das pesquisas, ampliou-se para estudos históricos e da cultura material. Até hoje o evento é um importante referencial para debates e exposições de novas pesquisas. Nesta edição, o CEVE contará com quatro conferências internacionais de pesquisadores que são referência na área da Escandinavística.
