This research investigates the ways in which Old Norse texts grapple with processes of embodiment, fragmentation andpermeability. Spanning the scholarly frameworks of posthumanism, disability studies, thing theory, and new materialism,it will examine how the individuals creating and consuming these texts-from the sagas to the myths-explored themental, physical and ontological boundaries of the 'human', envisioning man to be critically enmeshed in an agentivematerial world. A dual focused will be maintained on somatic loss and mutilation, and somatic 'gain' and mutation throughthe extension of the body by various prosthetics and appendages.

本研究探讨了古挪威语文本如何处理具体化、碎片化和渗透性的过程。跨越后人类主义，残疾研究，理论和新唯物主义的学术框架，它将研究如何创造和消费这些文本的个人-从传奇到神话-探索“人”的精神，物理和本体论的边界，设想人被批判地陷入一个agentimaterialworld。一个双重的焦点将保持在躯体的损失和残害，以及躯体的“获得”和突变，通过各种假肢和附件的身体延伸。请参阅下面的完整研究提案以获取更多信息。
