"He was a good farmer, he died in Greece." Activities of people of the Viking age and their appreciation in runic inscriptions and sagas
Podolská, Markéta ; Starý, Jiří (advisor) ; Kadečková, Helena (referee)
This thesis is an analysis of the activities of people of the Viking Age based on runic inscriptions and selected sagas of Icelanders and one kings' saga. The first chapter classifies the activities mentioned in the complete runic corpus as well as the appreciated qualities of the commemorated ones. The second part focuses on the frequency of particular activities in the Icelandic sagas. The sagas are divided into groups according to the emphasis laid on certain activities. Subsequently, the results of both analyses are set in contrast and the differences in their idealised view on the activities of the Viking Age are examined. While the runic inscriptions emphasize the Viking and trade voyages and the ability of householders, the sagas' focus is on the voyages as well as on the fights, legal disputes and feud. Although both sources par- tially correspond, they accent different aspects of reality and are mutually complementary. Keywords: Old Norse literature, Old Norse society, runic inscriptions, sagas of Icelanders, kings' sagas

Analysis of time as a narrative category in Old Norse sagas
Králová, Kristýna ; Starý, Jiří (advisor) ; Kadečková, Helena (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to set up characteristic attributes of saga time structure and with concern to these to show how the Old Norse people understood time. Main attention is concentrated on the time structure of the family sagas. First, it is shown the principal of the dating in saga and how it differs from the principal of dating in annal and chronicle. I proceed to deal with the most common time indications to appear in saga and their role in the storytelling. The focus point of this thesis is a comparison of narrated time and time of narration. To support this intention, I use the three concepts of Gerard Genette - duration, order and frequency. Based on the duration concept, I try to investigate why extensive time leaps abound in sagas and what on the other hand appears to have been given some extra author's attention. According to the order concept, a question is discussed to what extent the saga holds the chronological composition. Within the frequency concept, it is compared how many times an event occurs to how many times it is narrated. In the following chapters the time structure of the kings'sagas and the legendary sagas is discussed. The crucial difference between the time structure of these and the structure of family saga is established. There is a conclusion to each chapter,...

Ásgarð, Miðgarð a Útgarð: mutual relationships and their interpretation
Michalíková, Jana ; Starý, Jiří (advisor) ; Kadečková, Helena (referee)
This paper attempts to systematize Old Norse cosmographical notions. It deals with two spacial cosmological concepts - the vertical and the horizontal one. At first, it examines each of these concepts separately, it introduces their structuralist interpretations as well as later critiques of these interpretations. Further on, it examines whether both of these spacial concepts are really sustainable in primary literature and whether their form really corresponds with structuralist models. On basis of critical approach to sources it defines a new model of verticality. The major focus of the paper is to analyze mutual reletionship of these two spacial cosmological concepts, to specify contexts in which they usually appear in the primary sources and to examine their function.
