Designing Modern Norway: A History of Design Discourse is an
intellectual history of design and its role in configuring the
modern Norwegian nation state. Rather than a conventional national
design history survey that focuses on designers and objects, this
is an in-depth study of the ideologies, organizations, strategies
and politics that combined might be said to have "designed" the
modern nation's material and visual culture. The book analyses main
tropes and threads in the design discourse generated around key
institutions such as museums, organisations and magazines.
Beginning with how British and continental design reform ideas were
mediated in Norway and merged with a nationalist sentiment in the
late nineteenth century, Designing Modern Norway traces the
tireless and wide-ranging work undertaken by enthusiastic and
highly committed design professionals throughout the twentieth
century to simultaneously modernise the nation by design and to
nationalise modern design. Bringing the discussion up towards the
present, the book concludes with an examination of how Norway's
new-found wealth has profoundly changed the production, mediation
and consumption of design.
