Geroumk at vigi: Old Icelandic Perspectives on Selfhood, Agency and Guilt

我的论文发展并应用了最新的关于前现代心理学的学术见解，分析了中世纪冰岛佐贺文学中的能动性、自我和内疚，证明了自我不仅被理解为受到渗透其中的社会、身体和超自然影响的影响，而且还被理解为是由渗透其中的社会、身体和超自然影响产生的。学者们长期以来一直强调旧冰岛伦理的可变性，但本论文表明，将自我视为环境因素的产物，将能动性视为集体品质，这些传奇故事预示了现代犯罪学和社会正义的思潮。

My thesis develops and applies the insights of the most recent scholarship on premodern psychology to the analysis of agency, selfhood and guilt in medieval Icelandic saga literature, demonstrating that the self is understood to be not merely affected but generated by the social, somatic and supernatural influences that permeate it. Scholars have long emphasised the alterity of Old Icelandic ethics, but thisthesis shows that, in conceiving of the self as a product of environmental factors, and agency as a collective quality, the sagas prefigure the ideological trends of modern criminology and social justice.
