Although short, this article discusses rune stones, particularly rune stones with kuml inscriptions, which I have examined elsewhere.The term kuml appears on contemporary rune stones; it refers to different material entities such as rune stones, mounds/cairns, and other standing stones. The being and becoming of kuml is briefly discussed through the concepts of intra-action and agential cuts championed by Karen Barad. (Less)
