Kaleidoscopic Narration in the Sagas of Icelanders (B05)

B05项目研究冰岛传奇文学的假设是，中世纪晚期的传奇叙事是由相同或相似的叙事元素产生的。它的目的是研究这种千变万化的技巧是如何在冰岛人的其他传奇故事的叙述中被利用的，决定了它们复杂的审美形成。我们将用一个明显的历史研究控制组来检验我们的发现，即当代传奇故事，同时也研究冰岛传奇故事和传奇故事之间的交集。这一范围使我们能够重新构建第一个资助期的成果，并开发新的方法，传奇叙事，类型结构和虚构。

Project B05 approaches Icelandic saga literature from the assumption that late medieval saga narratives are generated kaleidoscopically from the same or similar narrative elements. It aims to investigate how such kaleidoscopic techniques are also utilised in the narration of other sagas of Icelanders, determining their complex aesthetic formation. We will test our findings against an apparently historiographic control group of texts, the contemporary sagas, while also examining the intersection between sagas of Icelanders and legendary sagas. This scope enables us to reframe the results of the first funding period and develop new approaches to saga narration, genre construction and fictionality.
