Hovedinnhold

Welcome to the 2019 Aarhus Old Norse Mythology Conference in Bergen!

The topic this year is ‘Methodology in Mythology: Where Does the Study of Old Norse Religion Stand, and Where Can We Go from Here?’

Call for posters: The deadline has been extended until 15 October.

The idea is to present a selection of important source types and approaches and discuss their potentials, pros and cons, based upon what the research history has shown. What can we gain by approaching Nordic pre-Christian myth and ritual from this angle? And what are the disadvantages or risks?

Musical entertainment by Einar Selvik, known from Wardruna.

Keynote lecture: Margaret Clunies Ross: Prolonged Echoes 25 Years later.
