Workshop 2-3 September 2019
University of Helsinki
Reimagining Norden in an Evolving World
An Excellence Hub in Research, Education and Public Outreach (ReNEW)

This two-day workshop investigates the historical processes underlying how the academic disciplines of the humanities as well as cultural heritage archives in the Nordic countries long served as a means of promoting the representative characteristics of the national (majority) and thus were as active mediators of the nation-state projects.

On the global level, Nordic countries pioneered the study of folk culture as an academic discipline in the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries. The endeavors to document rural folk culture resulted in large collections of material and led to the establishment of the national cultural heritage archives. Finnish Literature Society was established in 1831; The Institute for Language and Folklore in Sweden in 1870s; The Swedish Literature Society in Finland in 1885; The Danish Folklore Archives in 1904: the Norwegian Folklore Archives in 1914 and the Árni Magnússon-institute in Reykjavík in 1927. As the result of the longtime folklore collecting practices and the academic scholarship history, researchers became satisfied in examining their assumed one-culture societies and thus refused to see the gaps and silences that existed in their sources and interpretations.

Questions of heterogeneous cultural identities, such as the resandefolket or the Sámi or even the gender boundaries, were long overlooked. This workshop explores and re-evaluates the hidden histories of national narratives in the humanities of the Nordic countries.
