Nordic Orientalism explores the appropriation of oriental imagery
within Danish and Norwegian nineteenth-century nation-building. The
project queries Edward Said's binary notion of orientalism and
posits a more complex model describing how European countries on
the peripheryDenmark and Norwayimported oriental imagery from
France to position themselves, not against their colonial other,
but in relation to central European nations. In examining Nordic
orientalism across a century in the context of modernization,
urbanization and democratization, this study furthermore shows how
the Romanticists' naive treatment of the Orient was challenged by
increased contact with the "real" Orient.
