The essays may be divided into two broad categories: on the one hand are essays addressing the subjects of museums, museology and materiality. In the other category are essays based upon sources in the National Archives of Iceland concerned with probate inventories and related auctions. <em>Inter alia<\/em> they address the legal framework for settlement of estates, as well as the content of the inventories and specific categories within them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Archive, Slow Ideology and Egodocuments as Microhistorical Autobiography: Potential History &#8211; Sigur\u00f0ur Gylfi Magn\u00fasson.<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hh.hi.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Slow-637x1024-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hh.hi.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Slow-637x1024-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-319\" width=\"130\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hh.hi.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Slow-637x1024-1.png 637w, https:\/\/hh.hi.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Slow-637x1024-1-187x300.png 187w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 130px) 100vw, 130px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The book aims to demonstrate how scholars in recent times have been utilizing egodocuments from various angles, and providing an opening for the multivocality of the sources to be fully appreciated.

That is the question at the center of <em>Tales of Peculiar People<\/em>. The book attempts to understand what is behind the idea of \u201cnormal\u201d and considers deviations from so-called normal behavior or customs. When it comes to defining who belongs to the majority \u2013 and at the same time, by default, who is relegated to the minority \u2013 the idea of \u201cotherness\u201d is key. But ultimately, it all comes down to power; specifically, the power some groups hold to dictate what constitutes \u201cnormal\u201d or \u201cabnormal\u201d behavior and, in so doing, to decide the fate of others. Such power tends to lead to the emergence of certain norms based on a hierarchy that has often been constructed over a long period of time. Understanding \u201cthe other\u201d requires delving into how social identities are formed and identifying the most important factors that come into play. From a societal perspective, social identity is natural, something that arises organically from a country\u2019s cultural environment; in other words, it is ingrained from birth. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/sgm.hi.is\/tales-of-peculiar-people-the-culture-of-poverty\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sgm.hi.is\/tales-of-peculiar-people-the-culture-of-poverty\/\" target=\"_blank\">See more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emotional Experience and Microhistory &#8211; Sigur\u00f0ur Gylfi Magn\u00fasson.<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hh.hi.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/microhistoryforsidahi-1024x780-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hh.hi.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/microhistoryforsidahi-1024x780-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-316\" width=\"116\" height=\"177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hh.hi.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/microhistoryforsidahi-1024x780-2.png 511w, https:\/\/hh.hi.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/microhistoryforsidahi-1024x780-2-197x300.png 197w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 116px) 100vw, 116px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Emotional Experience and Microhistory<\/em>&nbsp;explores the life and death of Magn\u00fas Hj. Magn\u00fasson through his diary, poetry and other writing, showing how best to use the methods of microhistory to address complicated historical situations.&nbsp;The book deals with the many faces of microhistory and applies it\u2019s methodology to the life of the Icelandic destitute pauper poet Magn\u00fas Hj. Magn\u00fasson (1873\u20131916). Having left his foster home at the age of 19 in 1892, he lived a peripatetic existence in an unstinting struggle with poor health, together with a ceaseless quest for a space to pursue writing and scholarship in accord with his dreams. He produced and accumulated a huge quantity of sources (autobiography, diary, poems, reflections) which are termed by the author as \u2018egodocuments\u2019. The book demonstrates how these egodocuments can be applied systematically, revealing unexpected perspectives on his life and demonstrating how integration of diverse sources can open up new perspectives on complex and difficult subjects. In so doing, the author offers an understanding both of how Magn\u00fasson\u2019s story has been told, and how it can give insight into such matters as gender relations and sexual life, and the history of emotions. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/sgm.hi.is\/emotional-experience-and-microhistory\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sgm.hi.is\/emotional-experience-and-microhistory\/\" target=\"_blank\">See more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">H\u00edb\u00fdli f\u00e1t\u00e6ktar: H\u00fasn\u00e6\u00f0i og veraldleg g\u00e6\u00f0i f\u00e1t\u00e6ks f\u00f3lks \u00e1 19. og 20. \u00f6ld<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hh.hi.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image001-673x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246\" width=\"219\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hh.hi.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image001.jpg 673w, https:\/\/hh.hi.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/image001-197x300.jpg 197w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Finnur J\u00f3nasson, S\u00f3lveig \u00d3lafsd\u00f3ttir and Sigur\u00f0ur Gylfi Magn\u00fasson<br> <em>Homes of Poverty: Housing and material conditions of poor people in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> and early 20<sup>th<\/sup> centuries. <\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Summary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The objective of this volume and many others in the series<em> Anthology from Icelandic Popular Culture <\/em>is to draw the attention of potential readers to the life of people living in poverty, and to provide an insight into a world which must be deemed in many ways unusual and unfamiliar.
