“…Но если Венская школа стоит на позиции изобретения традиции в реальности и представления этнических и религиозных процессов IV-VI века в постоянной динамике, то Торонтская школа в сущности отказывает любым германским сообществам эпохи в какой-либо социальной реальности, вставая на позицию гиперконструктивизма в отношении письменных текстов, по которым изучается эпоха Великого переселения. С точки зрения исследователей Торонтской школы то, что их коллеги из Венской школы называют «германским», было либо детищем Римской империи с ее потребностью во взаимодействии, различении и каталогизации малопонятного мира за ее границами, либо принципиально не извлекаемым из существующих источников, поскольку их авторы не интересовались ничем, кроме собственной стремительно христианизирующейся письменной культуры, и не производили ничего, кроме ее топосов Kulikowski 2002;.…”

Gothic Shamanism as a Scholarly Issue

The main issue of the article is the Gothic shamanism, a specific problem, noticed in the largest generalizing works on the history and culture of the Goths (Wolfram 1992, Scardilli 1973). An appearance of such a kind of comprehension of Gothic practice and linguistic features is analyzed through its conceptual connections with anthropological religion in its various developments (Eliade 1951; Atkinson 1992) and the hypothesis on the homogeneity of the patterns of the circumpolar region (Price 2017). Gothic shamanism mentioned in large generalizing works and reference publications as a revealed fact without a sufficiently large-scale previous discussion. Moreover, even after the publication of the works, a wide controversy on the study of the Ostrogoths also develops in other directions, such as questions of ethnic truth and accepted written sources. It seems important to begin such a kind of discussion with the comprehension of the theoretical basis for understanding shamanism in P. Scardili’s and H. Wolfram’s views. Taking un the consideration the modern anthropology of religion and subsequent research in this field, two questions are proved by productive research: (1) What magical phenomena and practice are found among the Goths, and what sources can we use to investigate? (2) Were these notions and experiences shamanic, why so and within what understanding of shamanism can we comprehend this?

“…It is debatable, all the same, what the fact that the army was regarded as a 'people' actually implies (Kulikowski 2002). The participation of men who were not warriors, and of women, the elderly and children, in the formation and maintenance of ethnic groupings is relatively 'invisible' in historical representations.…”

The Language of Jewellery: Dress-accessories and Negotiations of Identity in Scandinavia, c. AD 400–650/70

In the 5th–7th centuries AD, members of the female population in Scandinavia frequently wore a costume adorned with conspicuous items of jewellery. Many of the items, such as brooches and clasps, were dress-accessories used to fasten these garments. Some of them, moreover, were popular over an extended area of Europe, and have been found in Scandinavia, Anglo-Saxon England and on the Continent alike. This book provides an analysis of more than 1,800 such items of jewellery from Scandinavia. It explores the contextual and geographical distribution through time of four major types of dress-accessory: cruciform brooches, relief brooches, wrist-clasps and conical brooches. Detailed analysis reveals distribution patterns and variations that provide new insights into the multifaceted reality of the Scandinavian pre-Viking period. The author argues that in a time characterized by social stress and upheaval, women played an important role in the negotiation of identities through the use of costume adorned with dress-accessories. These negotiations were part of a continuous, complex and ever-changing discourse of identity, in which different dimensions of multiple identities were generated, articulated and transformed. In some instances, a common identity is manifest even at a date which precedes by several centuries the unification of much the same areas into single medieval kingdoms, while social and political conditions could equally trigger either the material expression or the disappearance of shared identities at local, regional, and even pan-European levels. This book also offers a more nuanced view of ethnic groupings during the 5th–7th centuries by examining the inter-connectedness of the flexible and mobile ‘warrior nations’ of the Migration Period, and the territorially rooted, often historically documented ‘peoples’, who are reflected in the practices of female dress.

“…A primeira que apresentaremos é através das propostas metodológicas que vinculam os conceitos de etnogênese e etnicidade.Sabemos que principalmente o conceito de etnogênese está longe de obter um consenso, e grande parte desse debate já foi apresentado no livro On Barbarian identity: Critical approaches to ethnicity in the Early Middle Ages, editado por Andrew Gillet em 2002. Na obra, ele reúne diversos pontos de vista sobre a possibilidade de empregar tais conceitos nos estudos medievais, que vão desde pesquisadores totalmente céticos como MichelKulikowski (2002) e WalterGoffart (2002), até WalterPohl (2002), que é um dos principais defensores e expoentes sobre a utilização desses conceitos.…”

Etnogênese e etnicidade do Reino Vândalo: apresentando um horizonte metodológico

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo discutir e repensar a etnogênese do Reino Vândalo a partir da metodologia da Universidade de Viena, sendo o principal expoente e defensor da utilização dos conceitos de etnicidade e etnogênese o austríaco Walter Pohl, que orientou a percepção de Roland Steinacher acerca das identidades do Reino Vândalo ao empregar tais conceitos. Nesse artigo, apresentamos como as categorias filológicas (Vandiles, Vandilios e Vandalorum) e a cultura material associada ao povo vândalo haviam sido percebidas até meados de 1960, enquanto marcadores de uma continuidade étnico-racial desse povo, cujos principais objetivos eram associar essa herança étnica a poloneses e alemães que reivindicavam a soberania da região entre os rios Oder e Vístula. Assim, nosso objetivo foi repensar a historiografia do Reino Vândalo a partir das contribuições de Reinhard Wenskus iniciadas em 1961, e que foram aprimoradas ao longo do século XXI, pelos austríacos Pohl e Steinacher. Dos quais consideraram que cada etnônimo deve ser analisado e compreendido dentro de seu próprio período histórico, e não enquanto uma prova da continuidade desse povo. Colaborando assim, para demonstrar, que as categorias identitárias no início da Idade Média eram muito mais dinâmicas e integradoras do que desejavam alguns grupos nacionalistas.
