- Abstract
- In the eleventh century AD, the Scandinavian countries were in the final stage of the pro-cess of conversion to Christianity. Local and regional processes of negotiations towards aChristian hegemony took various courses in different parts of Scandinavia. There are fewsubstantial indications that social tensions resulted in violence. Rather, archaeological evi-dence indicates a gradual change. This paper highlights how these processes of negotiationswere expressed by counter-hegemonic groups that took advantage of the affective affor-dances of runestones. By raising specific runestones, these non-Christian groups were partof an agonistic political process, as described by the political philosopher Chantal Mouffe.
