Viking Visions: Bjarmeland & Bjarmer of the White Sea (Part I)
Norse contact with the Bjarmer people lasted from approximately 850 to 1238, although evidence seems to suggest that this contact was perhaps more significant and enduring than this brief time span would imply. I'm interested not so much in the nature of Viking-Bjarmer transactions, but in what these transactions may imply about Viking culture and people. What sorts of cultural meanings were enacted in these transactions and how did the Vikings acknowledge these meanings? What sorts of values were engaged in the cross-cultural negotiations of trade and territory? (part 1 of 2)
