Livnende stoff, elementers lengsel : En nymaterialistisk inngang til Elias Blix’ dåpssalme (145)

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- As the father of Lutheran hymns in the Norwegian Nynorsk language, Elias Blix (1836-1902) looms in the Scandinavian country’s songculture, and his compositions remain popular, both inside and outsidethe church. Blix lent significant space to the more-than-human in his poetry, expressing the Christian gospel in the changing of seasonsor the budding of plants. This article explores a baptismal hymn from a new-materialist perspective. It demonstrates how the poet cast the initiation rite as a dynamic, erotic dance between the two elements of water and spirit/breath/air. With what one might call an ecocentric sensibility, Blix adumbrated a Christian understanding that decenters the human, as baptismal transformation unfolds with the agency of the elements.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- It is often claimed that in Christian tradition trees and plants are reduced to passive material created for human exploitation, that the only important living creatures are Adam and Eve. But could such a view have less to do with Christianity as a religion and more to do with Cartesian notions in Western modernity? Earlier Christians undoubtedly exhibited a fascination with trees that exceeded a mere interest in the wood of the Cross or typologies thereof. According to literature produced by pre-modern Christians, they interacted actively with the arboreal realm, and trees interacted with them. The same body of literature suggests a sense of affinity between human beings and wooden beings. Exploring diverse texts about trees from the first Christian millennium, the article demonstrates that many Christians ascribed agency to plants. Trees could behave and communicate in various ways, those studied here were pious and acted with devotion in relation to the holy.

Er naturen religiøs?
- 2023
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- I tidlig kristen litteratur kan vi lese om trær som bøyer seg i ærbødighet for det hellige. Er trær noe mer enn bare ved? Hva har vi mistet på veien dit vi er i dag? Hvis alt skapt har en verdi i seg selv, kan vi da forholde oss til andre arter slik vi har gjort de siste århundrene? Må vi begynne å se på stammer, sopp og spirer med et nytt blikk? Og er dette blikket noe vi kan ha til felles, på tvers av ulike religioner?
