Abstract

Petersson, Bodil. 2009. Travels to Identity: Viking Rune Carvers of Today. Lund Archaeological Review 15 (2009), pp. 71–86. This text deals with the phenomenon of today’s rune carvers in the Nordic area. By using symbols of antiquity in their craftsmanship, the rune carvers revive an act that is historically significant and bears aspects of identity in the past as well as today. Why do people carve and erect runes stones today? When and where is it done? What are the explicit or implicit purposes? The text tries to answer these questions by elucidating the role of a past society in today’s world. It is obvious that the rune carving is mainly done in the Nordic area, but the ideas emanating from the Viking Age are also spread all over the world, as the rune stones are also erected in other countries, for example in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Canada. The identity project is mainly about creating an individual lifestyle. It is concluded that the past plays an important role in connecting people and supporting small-scale perspectives, crafts and sustainable development in harmony with the past. The act of carving and erecting rune stones today is a form of travel to identity.

波迪尔·彼得森，2009。旅行到身份:维京符文雕刻的今天。隆德考古评论15(2009)，第71-86页。本文论述了北欧地区当今的符文雕刻现象。通过在他们的工艺中使用古代的符号，符文雕刻者复兴了一个具有历史意义的行为，并且在过去和今天都具有身份的各个方面。为什么今天人们雕刻和竖立符文石头?何时何地完成?明确或隐含的目的是什么?本文试图通过阐明过去社会在当今世界中的作用来回答这些问题。很明显，符文雕刻主要是在北欧地区完成的，但来自维京时代的思想也传遍了世界各地，因为符文石也在其他国家竖立起来，例如德国、荷兰、波兰和加拿大。身份项目主要是关于创造一种个人的生活方式。结论是，过去在联系人们、支持小规模视角、工艺和可持续发展方面发挥着重要作用，与过去和谐相处。今天，雕刻和竖立符文石的行为是一种身份旅行的形式。
