In the name of the organising committee, the confer-ence assistants and the student helpers it gives us great pleasure to welcome you to Basel and Zurich for the Sixteenth International Saga Conference, 9–15 August 2015 — the fi rst Saga Conference to take place in Switzerland. This conference is a close collaboration between the Scandinavian Depart-ments of the Universities of Basel and Zurich, and therefore lectures will take place at both locations.
The main theme of the Sixteenth International Saga Conference is ‚Sagas and Space‘. The conference is devoted to the manifold forms and ways of ex-pression through which people in Viking Age and medieval Scandinavia thought about space. The main theme thus considers a central category in the humanities and cultural studies. Some papers will of course address classical Old Norse literature — eddas, scaldic poetry, sagas — but others will explore other texts and media, such as law texts, historical writings or runic inscriptions, and even non-lan-guage based expressions of the perception(s) of space. Other thematic strands will address ques-tions of mediality and textuality, the transmission of Old Norse literature and its reception, or the rela-tionship between continental Europe and medieval Scandinavia. Still other strands are concerned with the literatures of eastern Scandinavia, and — as a new addition to the thematic corpus — bodies and senses in medieval Scandinavia. Finally, there will also be an additional open strand. The Sixteenth In-ternational Saga Conference will thus again cover a vast spectrum of current and important topics in Scandinavian studies and we are all looking forward to a week of intense academic discussions.
In addition to the academic sessions, the pro-gramme also offers a variety of other activities such as excursions, visits to museums and recep-tions. You will fi nd more information about these activities on the following pages.
This programme booklet will help you get an over-view of both the academic and the more leisurely activities and is designed as a useful companion during the conference. Our homepage will also be updated daily and you will fi nd the most up-to-date information there. So be sure to check www.sagaconference.unibas.ch regularly! The ab-stracts of the four plenary lectures, the 182 pa-pers and project presentations, the fi ve roundtable discussions and fi ve posters have been published as a separate publication (available at the Confer-ence Offi ce), but they are also available to down-load on our homepage.
We would like to thank all persons and institutions who have made this conference possible through their help and hard work during the planning and execution stages, or who have generously support-ed the Saga Conference in other ways.
We wish you all a very pleasant, energising and stimulating week here in Basel and Zurich.
