Seekordne seminar ühendab kolm suurt teemat ja kutsub osalema neid, keda huvitavad müüdid, saagad, keeleteadus ja veebimütoloogia või ka isiku panus kultuuriruumi arendamisse.
30 aastat tagasi jäägitust folkloori armastusest ja veebivaimustusest ning katsetamishuvist sündinud akadeemilised ajakirjad Folklore: An electronic Journal of Folklore ja Mäetagused on osa toonasest ja tänasest veebikultuurist ja veebimütoloogiast. Ent seminari Keelest meeleni 13 temaatika viib kuulajad ja osalejad ka Hiinasse ning Põhjala mütoloogiate ja Islandi saagade juurde.
20. ja 21. sajandi jooksul on ilmunud eesti keeles Vanema ja Noorema Edda tõlked ja saagade eestindused. Senised tõlked on keskendunud klassikalistele tekstidele ja vähemal määral kuningasaagadele. Üks žanre, mida eesti keelde ei ole seni kordagi tõlgitud on rüütlisaagad. Tegemist on Euroopa keskaegsest kirjandusest inspiratsiooni saanud lugudega, mis Islandile jõudes jutustati ümber kohaliku värvinguga ja saagadele iseloomulikus vormis. Nii moodustavad need lood silla Euroopa kõrgkultuuri ja Islandi rahvaliku jututraditsiooni vahel. Urmas Sutropi tõlgitud ja ulatusliku analüüsiga Áli fleki saaga täidabki lünga saagakultuuri tõlgetes.
Urmas Sutrop – keeleteadlane, bioloog, tõlkija, etnolingvistik on olnud mitmete suundade arendaja. Ta on panustanud eesti vanema kultuuri ja kirjanduse nähtavaks muutmisse, teda iseloomustab sügav huvi folkloorsete kuju- ja vormimuutuste vastu. Tal on oma agenda, oma ideed, oma rakendused.
Olete oodatud kaasa rääkima! Olete oodatud osalema!

This year's seminar combines three major thematic strands and welcomes all those interested in mythology, sagas, linguistics, digital mythology, and the contribution of individuals to the development of cultural spaces.
Thirty years ago, a passion for folklore, fascination with the emerging internet, and a willingness to experiment gave rise to the academic journals Folklore: An electronic Journal of Folklore and Mäetagused. Today, both journals form an integral part of the history and continuing development of digital culture and online mythology.The From Language to Mind 13 seminar will furthermore guide its audience from China to the mythological traditions of the Nordic world and the narrative heritage of the Icelandic sagas, creating a unique meeting place for folklore, language, and cultural imagination.
During the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Estonian translations of both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, as well as numerous Icelandic sagas, have been published. Previous translations have focused primarily on the classical texts and, to a lesser extent, on the kings' sagas. One genre that has never before been translated into Estonian is the chivalric saga. These narratives, inspired by medieval European literature, were retold in Iceland with a distinct local flavour and in the characteristic saga form. As such, they form a bridge between European courtly culture and the Icelandic vernacular storytelling tradition. Ála flekks saga, translated by Urmas Sutrop and accompanied by an extensive scholarly analysis, fills an important gap in the Estonian translation history of saga literature.
Urmas Sutrop, linguist, biologist, translator, and ethnolinguist, has been a pioneering force in a number of scholarly fields. He has made a significant contribution to bringing Estonia’s older cultural and literary heritage into greater visibility and is distinguished by his deep interest in the transformations, adaptations, and reinterpretations of folklore motifs and forms. Throughout his career, he has pursued his own research agenda, developed original ideas, and created innovative applications that have influenced both scholarship and cultural life.
We warmly invite you to join the discussion, share your perspectives, and participate in this seminar!
