Topic: Ergi


  
  Ergi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ergi and argr are two Old Norse terms of insult, denoting effeminacy or other unmanly behavior.
Argr (also ragr) is "unmanly" and ergi is "unmanliness"; the terms have cognates in other Germanic languages such as earh, earg, arag, arug, and so on.
The practice of seiðr (shamanistic magic) was considered ergi in the Viking Age, and in Icelandic accounts and medieval Scandinavian laws, men accused of being argr are sometimes also said to indulge in receptive homosexual intercourse.

However, the Germanic historian Folke Strom says that ergi refers to male practitioner of seidr - that it was both the passive role in sodomy and the receptive relationship to the gods was what caused a man to be looked upon, or identify himself as ergi.
Ergi priests would perform shamanic journeys (often in the form of a falcon) in search of divinatory gnosis and their chief function was working magic.
However, ergi males were being drowned, burned and tortured by the 10th Century.A.D due to the incursion of Christianity.

 Seiðr, gender and transformation: from the sagas to the new millennium
He interprets 'ergi' in terms of rejection of conventional masculine ideology, including today, rejection of violence as a first line approach to dealing with interpersonal problems.
Men and women who engage with seiðr today are shaping their own understandings of 'ergi' as they deal actively with discourses of gender and sexuality, positioning themselves as active agents of change as they seek to understand their own worlds.
'Ergi' becomes a process of identity and a means of dissonantly 'queering' the perceived socio-spiritual norms of the present and the past (for discussion of queer theory in the context of autoarchaeology, see Wallis 2000).

This case originates in a complaint by Mr Muharrem Ergi - a Turkish citizen of Kurdish origin - that his sister Havva was killed by Turkish Security Forces during an attack on the village of Kesentas on 29 September 1993.
Although Mr Ergi complained to the local authorities, he submits that the authorities failed to carry out any meaningful investigation into the events at Kesentas village.
Following the submission of his application, the Anti-Terror Department of the police interviewed Mr Ergi on several occasions and intimidated and threatened him for having lodged a complaint.

According to the petition, the IRS arbitrarily disallowed deductions for the seven-year period for nearly all its business expenses ranging from renting a factory and machinery to payments for royalty licenses and engineering services.
ERGI, a U.S. Defense Department contractor, charged that the tax adjustments ordered by the IRS "are based upon a totally arbitrary ignoring of the lawful existence and operation of petitioner corporation."
The company's petition said that it was dependent on manufacturing and engineering services of New Process Industries Inc. of Minnesota and that ERGI also used that firm's factory and machines to manufacture its products.

 Gunnora Hallakarva: The Vikings and Homosexuality
Furthermore, in every one of the instances where níð or ergi is encountered as an accusation, no one seriously believes that the accused party is in fact homosexual: the charge is symbolic, rather like calling a modern redneck "queer" to provoke him to fight.
It is called seiðr, and by means of it he could know the fate of men and predict events that had not yet come to pass; and by it he could also inflict death or misfortunes or sickness, or also deprive people of their wits or strength, and give them to others.
But this sorcery is attended by such great ergi that men considered it shameful to practice it, and so it was taught to priestesses (Ynglingasaga 7).

The University of Calgary Deptartment of Geography owns 1 of only 6 ERGI systems in Canada and is the only academic institution to possess this technology.
Now, preliminary experimentation with ERGI has demonstrated we now have a non-intrusive method for looking at both fine-grained and poorly-sorted coarse-grained sedimentology.
This makes ERGI perfect for investigating the sedimentology of low-energy fluvial systems like the anastomosing reach of the Columbia River [above left].

 Homosexuality in Viking Scandinavia
The end result would be a big axe in your head instead of a big cowboy boot in your face, but the idea is the same.
Because, then as now, some sorts of insults were "fightin' words" or even killing words, Scandinavian law codes made certain types of insults illegal, and either condoned the victim's slaying of the slanderer or penalized the utterance of insults with outlawry.

 Seid (shamanic magic)
Note that the word (Finnish) seita or (Sami) sieidde is a human-shaped body formed by a tree, or a large and strangely shaped stone or rock and does not involve "magic" or "sorcery."
In the Viking Age, seid was considered ergi (shameful) for men, as its manipulative aspects ran counter to the male ideal of forthright, open behaviour.
Diana Paxson and her group, Hrafnar, have put in a lot of work reconstructing seid from available historical material, particularly its oracular form.

The family of the applicant, Ergi (E), a Turkish citizen of Kurdish origin, lived in Kesentas, a Turkish village, where someone had been killed by the PKK (Workers Party of Kurdistan) at the end of September 1993.
