Kin-Work and King Harald's Saga: A Feminist Analysis
On the surface, <I>King Harald's Saga</I> (Sturluson, 1966) might not appear to lend itself quite so easily to a feminist interpretation. Yet the themes of betrayal and kin confrontation around which this saga is centered seem to reveal, upon closer reading, that the "work of women" figures prominently in this story. Using Micaela di Leonardo's (1987) concept of "kin work" for the purpose of this analysis, I propose that the creation and dissipation of political/kin tensions became the mechanisms through which women exerted influence in Viking society. These tensions surface throughout the saga through metaphorical identification and situational parallelism.
