Learning outcomes
-- To discuss the cultural movements in and across the medieval North and the implications of a cross-cultural approach for literary history.
- to trace cultural transmissions and to ponder their implications for our perception (and conception) of literary history both within the Nordic context and for literary historical studies in general.
- discuss the complexities, validity and usefulness of the approach and the potentiality of cross-cultural studies.
Program
This seminar will focus on the methodological approaches of crosscultural studies, considering their implications for a new mode of understanding and formulating literary history, thereby contesting the frequently rigid national or linguistic borders of the field. We will consider concepts such as translatio studii et imperii and their implications for medieval practices of translation and transmission. We will consider examples of such cultural engagements and transmission, utilising evidence from Scandinavia and beyond to showcase the impact of cultural fusion on national and international literary histories.
