Mathisen, Barbro Klein, Anna-Leena Siikala[Place of publication not identified] :Finnish Literature Society / SKS,2004.1 online resource (307 pages)951-858-072-3 The effects of globalization and the momentous changes to the political map of Europe have led to a world in which multiculturalism and ethnic differences have become issues of increasing importance. In Nordic countries, relationships between new immigrants, local ethnic groups and majorities are created in ongoing and sometimes heated discussions. In transforming multicultural societies, folklore has taken on new manifestations and meanings. How can folklore studies illuminate the present cultural, political and historical changes? "Creating Diversities. Folklore, Religion and the Politics of Heritage", edited by Anna-Leena Siikala, Barbro Klein and Stein R. Mathisen, seeks answers to this question. It emphasizes two important factors in the cultural and political exchanges among historical minorities, recent immigrants, and the majority groups dictating the conditions of these exchanges. The first factor is religion, which is a powerful tool in the construction of ethnic selves and in the establishment of boundaries between groups. The second factor is the role of national and regional folklore archives and ethnographic and cultural historical museums which create ideas and images of minorities. These representations, created in different political climates, affect the general understanding of the people depicted. Fifteen well-known folklorists and ethnographers from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia and the United States offer insights and background material on these problems. In addition to immigrants and ethnic minorities in the Nordic countries, especially the Sámi, examples are sought from among the Finno-Ugrian minorities in Russia and the Nordic population in North America.Creating Diversities ColonizationColonization.325.3Mathisen Stein R.1357399Siikala Anna-LeenaKlein BarbroNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910476883903321Creating Diversities3363292UNINA03881oam 2200541I 450 991016504610332120240505202053.01-315-38646-11-315-38644-510.4324/9781315386461 (CKB)3710000001060448(MiAaPQ)EBC4809765(OCoLC)971248766(BIP)59134416(BIP)57131953(EXLCZ)99371000000106044820180706d2017 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierThe historical novel, transnationalism, and the postmodern era presenting the past /Susan C.

How does an author's nationality or gender impact their artistic choices? To what extent can historical novels appeal to a transnational audience? This study demonstrates how histories can communicate across national borders, often by invoking or deconstructing the very notion of nationhood. Furthermore, it traces how the concerns of the postmodern era, such as postmodern critiques of historiography, colonialism, identity, and the Enlightenment, have impacted the genre of the historical novel, and shows this impact has not been uniform throughout Western culture. Not all historical novels written during the postmodern era are postmodern. The historical novel as a genre occupies a problematic, yet significant space in Cold War literary currents, torn between claims of authenticity and the impossibility of accessing the past. Historical novels from England, America, Germany, and France are compared and contrasted with historical novels from Sweden, testing a variety of theoretical perspectives in the process. This pitting of a center against a periphery serves to highlight traits that historical novels from the West have in common, but also how they differ. The historical novel is not just a local, regional phenomenon, but has become, during the postmodern era, a transnational tool for exploring how we should think of nations and nationalism and what a society should, or should not, look like.Routledge studies in comparative literature ;3.Historical fictionHistory and criticismLiterature and transnationalismHistory in literatureHistorical fictionHistory and criticism.Literature and transnationalism.History in literature.809.3/81Brantly Susan C.866872MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910165046103321The historical novel, transnationalism, and the postmodern era1935031UNINA
