What makes a magazine in South Africa promote Scandinavian unity
among its immigrant readers and why does a Swedish king endorse
attempts to influence pan-Scandinavian opinion through a
transnational media event in Sweden, Norway and Denmark? Can
portraits of exotic Lapplanders in the British press, enthusiastic
accounts of the welfare state in post-war travel literature and
descriptions of the liberal Nordic woman as a metaphor for a freer
society in Franco Spain really be bundled together under a joint
label of 'Nordicness'? How is it that despite the variety of images
of the Nordic region that are circulating, we still find this
recurring idea of a shared Nordic identity? These are some of the
questions the current volume seeks to answer. Covering the time
period from the early nineteenth century up until the present and
encompassing case studies from Britain, Spain, Poland, and South
Africa, as well as from the Nordic countries, contributors to the
volume investigate the images that have been presented of the
Nordic region in the media in and outside of the Nordic countries,
how such images have been shaped by mechanisms of mediation, and
the channels through which they have been distributed. The chapters
address both specific cases such as media events and individual
publications, as well as the structural and institutional settings
for mediating the Nordic region.
