La mythologie nordique en Fantasy<\/em> \/ Norse myth in Fantasy fiction<\/h2>\n

Fantasy Art and Studies<\/em><\/h3>\n

[English below<\/em>]<\/p>\n

Depuis la p\u00e9riode romantique, la mythologie nordique s\u2019est r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9e une grande source d\u2019inspiration pour les auteurs de fiction, en particulier en Fantasy<\/em>. Sans conteste, nombreux sont les r\u00e9cits de Fantasy <\/em>incluant des Vikings \u2013 ou des guerriers d\u2019inspiration viking \u2013, des elfes, des nains, des g\u00e9ants, des proph\u00e9tesses. Si certains sont largement bas\u00e9s sur les mythes tels que nous les connaissons \u00e0 travers les sources m\u00e9di\u00e9vales, d\u2019autres r\u00e9interpr\u00e8tent et r\u00e9arrangent le mat\u00e9riau original au point de cr\u00e9er des histoires compl\u00e8tement diff\u00e9rentes qui ne conservent que les noms scandinaves.<\/p>\n

J. R.\u00a0R.\u00a0Tolkien doit certainement \u00eatre reconnu comme \u00e0 l\u2019origine de la permanence des motifs nordiques en Fantasy<\/em>. En effet, le Hobbit<\/em> et le Seigneur des Anneaux<\/em> incluent tous deux des noms et des personnages inspir\u00e9s de la mythologie nordique\u00a0: ainsi l\u2019attirail de Gandalf rappelle Odin l\u2019Errant (Odin Ganglari<\/em>), et les noms des Nains sont tir\u00e9s d\u2019une liste de l\u2019Edda po\u00e9tique<\/em>. Cependant Tolkien n\u2019est pas le premier auteur de Fantasy<\/em> \u00e0 se tourner vers la mythologie nordique. De 1869 \u00e0 1875, William Morris traduit plusieurs sagas, parmi lesquelles la V\u00f6lsunga saga<\/em>, dont il propose en 1877 une r\u00e9\u00e9criture sous le titre The Story of Sigurd the Volsung and the Fall of the Niblungs<\/em>. Ses romances<\/em> The House of the Wolfings<\/em> (1889) et The Roots of the Mountains<\/em> (1890), visiblement influenc\u00e9s par l\u2019univers des anciens Germains et des anciens Scandinaves, pr\u00e9figurent les \u0153uvres de Tolkien. Quelques d\u00e9cennies plus tard, entre 1928 et 1938, le cr\u00e9ateur de Conan le Cimm\u00e9rien, Robert E.\u00a0Howard, \u00e9crit sur les Vikings dans Weird Tales<\/em> et invente le pirate Cormac Mac Art qui est en relation avec des hommes du Nord.<\/p>\n

La Fantasy <\/em>des XXe<\/sup> et XXIe<\/sup> si\u00e8cles poursuit cette r\u00e9interpr\u00e9tation du mat\u00e9riau nordique. Si Douglas Adams relate la rencontre entre son d\u00e9tective Dirk Gently et les dieux Odin et Thor de mani\u00e8re humoristique dans Beau comme un a\u00e9roport <\/em>(1988), dans American Gods <\/em>(2001), Neil Gaiman pr\u00e9sente \u00e0 ses lecteurs une galerie de dieux issus de diff\u00e9rentes cultures qui doivent faire face aux nouvelles divinit\u00e9s du monde moderne. Parmi eux, Odin est le principal agent dans une guerre contre les nouveaux dieux. Dans Runemarks<\/em> (2007), un roman pour la jeunesse de Joanne M.\u00a0Harris, l\u2019apocalypse a d\u00e9j\u00e0 eu lieu et les dieux ont perdu leurs pouvoirs.<\/p>\n

Ce vaste corpus s\u2019adresse aux lecteurs de tout \u00e2ge et n\u2019a pas cess\u00e9 de s\u2019\u00e9tendre de plus en plus au cours des ann\u00e9es, \u00e0 travers d\u2019autres m\u00e9dias. En 1979, la BD humoristique danoise Valhalla<\/em> relate les aventures de Thor et Loki, tandis que le r\u00e9cent manga de Hajime Isayama, L\u2019Attaque des Titans<\/em>, fait r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 Ymir et aux g\u00e9ants. Les adaptations cin\u00e9matographiques du comics<\/em> de Marvel Mighty Thor<\/em> transportent le dieu du tonnerre dans les \u00c9tats-Unis d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui et transforment la mythologie nordique en un univers de Science Fantasy<\/em>. A contrario<\/em>, Le 13e<\/sup> guerrier<\/em> (1999, bas\u00e9 sur le roman de Michael Crichton, Le Royaume de Rothgar<\/em>, 1976) raconte l\u2019histoire d\u2019Ahmad Ibn Fadlan qui voyage dans le Nord pour combattre des monstres aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s des Vikings. Les jeux vid\u00e9o trouvent \u00e9galement leur inspiration dans la mythologie nordique\u00a0: la franchise Final Fantasy<\/em> (Square Enix, 1987-) reprend des noms de dieux et de lieux\u00a0; Odin Sphere <\/em>(2007) fait d\u2019Odin un g\u00e9n\u00e9ral.<\/p>\n

Since Romanticism, Norse Mythology has been a popular source for fiction and has especially found its way in Fantasy works. Many Fantasy stories definitely involve Vikings \u2013 or Viking-like warriors \u2013, elves, dwarves, giants, seeresses. If some are heavily based on the myths as we know them from medieval sources, others freely reinterpret and rearrange them to completely different stories that only retain Norse names.<\/em><\/p>\n

J. R.\u00a0R.\u00a0Tolkien must certainly be credited for the long-lasting presence of Norse motives in Fantasy fiction. Indeed both <\/em>The Hobbit and <\/em>The Lord of the Rings include names and characters inspired by Norse mythology: hence Gandalf, whose outfit reminds of Odin the Wanderer (<\/em>Odin Ganglari), or the Dwarves\u2019 names, which come from a list in the <\/em>Poetic Edda. However, Tolkien was not the first Fantasy author to find inspiration in Norse myths. From 1869 to 1875, William Morris translated several sagas, including <\/em>The V\u00f6lsunga Saga, which he retold in <\/em>The Story of Sigurd the V\u00f6lsung and the Fall of the Nieblungs in 1877. His romances <\/em>The House of the Wolfings (1889) and <\/em>The Roots of the Mountains (1890), visibly influenced by the world of the ancient Germanic and Norse tribes, prefigure Tolkien\u2019s works. Some decades later, between 1928 and 1938, the creator of Conan the Cimmerian, Robert E.\u00a0Howard, wrote about Vikings in <\/em>Weird Tales and invented the pirate Cormac Mac Art, who dealt with Norsemen.<\/em><\/p>\n

Twentieth and twenty-first century Fantasy fiction continues this reinterpretation of Norse material. While Douglas Adams gets his holistic detective Dirk Gently in touch with the gods Odin and Thor in a humorous way in <\/em>The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul (1988), in <\/em>American Gods (2001), Neil Gaiman introduces his protagonist and readers to a countless number of gods from several cultures who have to deal with the new gods of the modern world. Among them, Odin is the main driving force in a war against the new deities. In <\/em>Runemarks (2007), a youth book by Joanne M. Harris, the apocalypse has already happened and the gods have lost their powers. <\/em><\/p>\n

This huge spectrum addresses readers of every age and has become even more extensive over the years, infusing other media. In 1979, the Danish comic book series <\/em>Valhalla portrays the adventures of Thor and Loki, whereas Hajime Isayama\u2019s much recent manga <\/em>Attack on Titan, started in 2009, refers to Ymir and the giants. The Marvel movie adaptations of superhero comic books <\/em>Mighty Thor transport the god of thunder to present day USA and turn Norse mythology into a Science Fantasy universe. In contrast, <\/em>The 13th<\/sup> Warrior (1999, based on <\/em>Michael Crichton\u2019s <\/em>Eaters of the Dead, 1976) tells the story of Ahmad Ibn Fadlan who travels to the North to fight monsters, alongside Vikings. <\/em>Video games too find their inspiration in Norse mythology and provide it in various shapes: the <\/em>Final Fantasy franchise (Square Enix, 1987-) uses names of gods and places; <\/em>Odin Sphere (2007) introduces Odin as a general.<\/em><\/p>\n

For its 6th<\/sup> issue, <\/em>Fantasy Art and Studies invites you to explore the use of Norse mythology in Fantasy fiction, whether in literature, movies, TV, comics, or video games.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

You might question (but not exclusively):<\/em><\/p>\n

– how these Fantasy reinterpretations shed new light on Norse medieval sources <\/em><\/p>\n

– whether Fantasy representations of Norse mythology and motives are still informed by 19th<\/sup> century romantic conceptions<\/em><\/p>\n

– whether Norse mythology retellings influence recent Fantasy works<\/em><\/p>\n

– the evolution of these Fantasy reinterpretations<\/em><\/p>\n
