Abstract:

Introduction Celtic Studies are concerned with the languages, literature, culture, mythology, religion, art, history, and archaeology of historical and contemporary Celtic countries and traces of Celtic influences elsewhere. The historical Celtic countries include ancient Gaul, Galatia, Celtiberia, Italy, Britain and Ireland, whereas the modern Celtic territories are limited to Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Isle of Man, Cornwall and Brittany. It has to be stressed that Celtic Studies are not identical with Irish (or Scottish, Welsh, or Breton) Studies, though they are, for obvious reasons, closely

Abstract:

The 51st (Highland) Division surrendered to the Germans on 12 June 1940. The force lost at St Valery was made up not only of Scots, but also English, Welsh, French and French Colonial troops. But in recent decades the division’s loss has been recast as a story of solely Scottish loss, deployed in narratives of grievance and victimhood. We contrast the mythology with the historical reality, in the context of the distribution of ‘fake history’ in the service of nationalist politics ( English 2021 ). This paper considers three aspects of the events of 1940: 1. The creation, development and use of

Abstract:

English linguist Tolkien is world-famous as the creator of the fantasy genre and the author of the epic novel «The Lord of the Rings» which has overgrown the measures of a novel having become a cultural phenomena. The tree is one of the universal symbols of the spiritual culture. It unites the Earth with the heaven, defines the human’s way to oneself, to spiritual summits. In the works of J. R. R. Tolkien the tree isn’t just a detail but also a character, the symbol of the eternal life circulation. Symbolizing the synthesis of heaven, earth and water, the dynamics of life, combining the worlds

Leur récurrence et leur rémanence permettent au lecteur avisé d’observer le mauvais comportement de l’homme en société. Certains animaux ont trait à la fable ou à la mythologie antique, aux totems protecteurs d’un individu, d’un clan, d’une famille ; d’autres renvoient au bestiaire sauvage et domestique. Ils servent tous à peindre les vices de l’homme, à les corriger. La méthode thématique permet de relever la puiss

Abstract:

The power of culturally-bound controlling images around notions of 'colour' in regard to ethnicity have historically been marked and far-reaching. Most obvious examples of such political power relations can be seen in regard to racism and social domination. Biologically-based assertions that one specific category of people are somehow inherently inferior or superior to another were central and indeed continue to be paramount in (neo) Nazi-style rhetoric. Such political beliefs, most notable of course within the first half of the Twentieth Century, often went hand-in-hand with a right-wing ecol

Abstract:

This study investigates in what respects Celtic mythology influenced J. R. R. Tolkien when writing the sagas incorporated in the mythopoeic compilation of The Silmarillion. Through narrative and comparative analysis, stories from the Irish prose collection Lebor Gabála Érenn, as well as the Welsh medieval manuscript Mabinogion, are collated to the tales of The Silmarillion in order to illuminate possible influences. The survey showed that even though Tolkien expressed a certain distaste for everything Celtic, several elements of Irish and Welsh mythology are indeed visible in his works.

Ele proclama a presença da mitologia céltica na literatura medieval e oferece-nos o seu trabalho detalhado no campo do romance arturiano: personagens, episódios, locais, motivos. Loomis defende que o material usado pelos conteurs, primeiro, e pelos escritores, depois, é de origem irlandesa e desenvolvimento galês.

Abstract:

Abstract Mabinogi. [W] “The Four Branches of the Mabinogion” is a collection of medieval Welsh tales that form the mainstream of Welsh mythology. The tales are preserved in two Welsh sources: The White Book of Rhydderch (1300-1325) and the Red Book of Hergest(l375- 1425). The evidence is that these tales originated far earlier than the surviving forms. The style used in the story of “Culhwch and Olwen,” for example, shows forms of eleventh century style, vocabulary, and custom. This is, incidentally, the earliest surviving Arthurian tale in Welsh. Archaism in language and custom reflect that t

Hengist and Horsa then turned on him and began to carve out kingdoms for themselves. This was the first appearance of the ancestors of the English in Britain. Because of this, he is regarded as the archtraitor in Celtic tradition.

Abstract:

Abstract Naked Warriors. There are many references to the Celtic custom of stripping naked to do battle or to engage in single combat. They did so from their religious concepts. Naked and at one with the world around them, the “aura” and life force of the warriors was increased. Polybius recorded, in his account of the Battle of Telamon in 225 B.C., that a Celtic tribe he designates as the Gaesatae hurled them selves naked into battle against the Romans. He did not realise that the word meant “spearmen” (Irish gae, Welsh gwayw = spear) and that they were probably a group of elite warriors like

Abstract As with virtually all other aspects and constituents of Celtic religion and mythology, it is advisable to preface any discussion of Celtic goddesses with a significant caveat. The literary evidence of the insular Celtic vernaculars, particularly Irish and Welsh, is quite extensive, but it poses serious problems of evaluation and interpretation. Early Irish, for example, has a wide range of varied material bearing on myth and religion, but it is important to remember that the use of writing in the Irish language—in any substantive sense—dates only from the sixth century and is a Christ

This essay examines connections between the academy and Beat poet Gary Snyder, looking specifically at the poet’s relationship to scholarship and the impact it has had on both his writing and teaching. At Reed College, where he met fellow students Lew Welch and Philip Whalen, Snyder wrote a detailed anthropological thesis on Haida mythology, thus launching a scholarly career that has been overshadowed by his award-winning poetry and by his status as Beat icon. Years before he published a volume of verse or appeared as Japhy Ryder in Jack Kerouac’s The Dharma Bums, Snyder pursued studies in Ant
