The Loki Variations: The Man, The Myth, The Mischief

By (author) Karl Johnson

Loki, ever the shapeshifter, has never been more adaptable across pop culture. By exploring contemporary variations of Loki, from Norse god to anti-hero trickster, we can better understand the power of myth, queer theory, fandom, ritual, pop culture itself and more.

Karl Johnson

Karl Johnson is a lecturer in Sociology, a life-long geek, and a Shetlander trapped in the Central Belt of Scotland. He researches and writes about widening access to higher education, social theory and pop culture, and issues affecting the Scottish Islands – such as gendered exclusion in Lerwick’s Up Helly Aa festival.
