| Abstract | Collective and cultural memory studies are a useful prism through which to look at Old Norse material, and yet it is only in the recent two decades that these studies have gained a real foothold in Old Norse scholarship, manifested in recent anthologies dedicated to the topic of memory and the upcoming Handbook of Pre-Modern Nordic Memory Studies: Interdisciplinary Approaches, edited by Jürg Glauser, Pernille Hermann and Stephen A. Mitchell. In this session the handbook will be presented, as well as papers providing fresh approaches to memory studies in the Old Norse field. |
