The aim is to elucidate the multiple aspects of the idea of the North, both as a mythological space and a discursive system created and shaped by cultures outside the North as well as from within. The objective of the research project Iceland and Images of the North is to elucidate several aspects of images of the North and to explore their functions in the present, focusing especially on Iceland. What effect have Iceland and its people had on images of the North, and how do those images influence the Icelanders and other nations? The project will be a cooperative, interdisciplinary undertaking by researchers in the humanities and social sciences. 410 0$aStudia imagologica ;$v14. 606 $aNational characteristics$xHistory 607 $aArctic regions$xHistory 607 $aArctic regions$xIn literature 607 $aArctic regions$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNational characteristics$xHistory. 676 $a306 701 $aSverrir Jakobsson$f1970-$0892688 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454351803321 996 $aImages of the North$92001693 997 $aUNINA
