    Open AccessStephen Α Mitchell, Stephen A MitchellARTICLEReligionsvidenskabeligt Tidsskrift2022References: 2

    In 1290, Margrete, the 7-year-old daughter of King Eiríkr II Magnússon of Norway and Margaret, the daughter of King Alexander III of Scotland, begins a journey from Norway to Scotland. Unfortunately, Margrete, the heir presumptive to the throne of Scotland, dies en route, sparking a series of international and dynastic calamities. When, a decade later, a woman arrives in Bergen claiming to be the deceased princess, she is condemned to judicial im…

  • A Matter of Honour

    Stephen Α Mitchell, Stephen A MitchellARTICLEViking and Medieval Scandinavia2020

    Using the semantic shift in Old Norse/Icelandic conceptual categories associated with such terms as ágætr, frægđ, lof, metnađr, virđing, this essay explores the changing heroic ethos of medieval Scandinavia from a focus on achieved honour toward an idealized view of fame and honour as goals in themselves

    In recent years, the field of Memory Studies has emerged as a key approach in the Humanities and Social Sciences, and has increasingly shown its ability to open new windows on Nordic Studies as well. The entries in this book document the work-to-date of this approach on the pre-modern Nordic world (mainly the Viking Age and the Middle Ages, but including as well both earlier and later periods). Given that Memory Studies is an ever expanding criti…

    Stephen Α Mitchell, Stephen A MitchellARTICLEStudies in Gender and Sexuality2000

    Jessica Benjamin's contributions have exerted an enormous influence on contemporary psychoanalytic thought in general and on me in particular. I consider here some of the concepts basic to her approach that 1 find most helpful: recognition, identification and identificatory love, and gender overinclusiveness. I then point to the ways in which overinclusiveness in retaining certain lines of theorizing poses occasional problems for me

  • Witchcraft Persecutions in the Post-Craze Era

    Open AccessStephen Α Mitchell, Stephen A MitchellARTICLEWestern Folklore2000Cited by: 1References: 3

    THE CASE OF ANN IZZARD At the Court of King's Bench, the highest court of common law in England at the beginning of the nineteenth century, two indictments handed down for the county of Huntingdonshire charge a number of the residents of Great Paxton having in early May of 1808 attacked a man and his wife on each of two successive nights (PRO 36 'c', 37 'c'). There might seem to be little of interest for the student of witchcraft in legal documen…

  • The Analyst's Knowledge and Authority

    Stephen Α Mitchell, Stephen A MitchellARTICLEThe Psychoanalytic Quarterly1998Cited by: 17References: 19

    Current controversies about the nature of the knowledge analysts offer their patients and the kinds of authority they can legitimately claim are of central importance in the evolution of psychoanalytic ideas. These controversies reflect deep differences regarding basic assumptions about both epistemology and the nature of mind. An approach to these issues is offered which, it is argued, is closer to broad cultural shifts in thinking about knowled…

    “Living Together Alone or Together”: Commentary on Tzvetan Todorov’s “Living Alone Together” Stephen A. Mitchell (bio) Tzvetan Todorov traces the dialectic within Western intellec- tual history between a major current in which humans are defined essentially as isolates and a minor current which points to a social dimension in human nature.
