Full textThe aim of this study is to establish that the tradition of "wild warriors" (French "guerriers-fauves") belonged to the historical reality of old Scandinavian society from the VIth to the XIth century. The term "guerrier-fauve" has been used some seventy years ago by Georges Dumézil to tranlate the old Norske berserkr (plural berserkir). In the medieval literature, this word describes a warrior endowed with an uncommon strength, especially feared for its irrepressible outburste of battle rage (berserksgangr). According to Snorri Sturluson, the behaviour of the berserkir must be related to the mythical powers attributed to the god Okin. The examination of old Norse sources, joined to the evidence of the archaeological materials, leads to link these warlike tradition with the religious beliefs of the ancient Nordic aristocracy. This thesis is dealing with etymological interpretation before investigating carefully the whole spectrum of old Norse sources (skaldic and eddic poetry, sagas, laws). A particular attention has been given to the critical review of Haraldskvœđi ("Song for Harald"), which must be seen as a primary source. These analysis results in an interpretation which differs to some extents from the stereotypical pattern displayed by the Icelandic literature (where berserkir are frequently depicted as outlaws) : even the oldest sagas have been written a long time after the events they are referring to. The early medieval Germanic iconography and the runic inscriptions are both providing a strong support to this conclusion : the tradition of the berserkir is intimately connected with the sacral kingship and the institution of warlord's retinue

But, how could elements coming from sources which are almost a thousand years old become parts of a contemporary videogame ? From this case study, the author of this work takes a more general interest in cultural phenomenons and their dynamics through their transmission, manifestation and appropriation processes. In order to do this, he leans on a qualitative and empirical research which articulates communication studies with scandinavian studies in order to build an anthropo-communicational approach, which is strongly influenced by Anthropology. This approach is based on a multi-layered methodology which includes linguistics, socio-historical method, long term participant observation and very long term information monitoring. It allows to observe that, from the medieval manuscripts to online video games, through american fantasy literature from the 1930’s, the significations which people give to past cultural ressources are always transformed and built according to the situation in which they are expressed. Such cultural dynamics fall within the heart of research questions about change and permanence and highlight the ways by which an imaginary of the common is built at the same time as it puts the work of the social actors at the center of the reflection

The epics are universal masterpieces, relentless expressions of the people‟s soul. In this way, we elected the Völsunga saga as a platform for apprehension of the Norse pre-Christian religious phenomenon essential aspects, since it presents elements such as: magic, belief in a inevitability of fate, constancy of premonitory dreams and the intervention of the mythical figure of Óðinn in its composition. As inherent to mythological construction, we identify the Hero aspect as fundamental component of this Scandinavian oral tradition.
Os épicos são obras primas universais, expressões inexoráveis da alma dos povos. Neste sentido elegemos a Völsunga Saga como plataforma para apreensão de aspectos essenciais do fenômeno religioso nórdico pré-cristão, uma vez que esta apresenta elementos tais como: magia, crença na inexorabilidade do destino, constância de sonhos premonitórios, além da intervenção constante da figura mítica de Óðinn em sua composição. Conforme inerente às construções mitológicas, identificamos aqui a figura do herói enquanto componente fundamental dessa tradição oral escandinava.
