Rustad. 330 $aHow did Nordic culture become associated with the fuzzy brand ?cool?, as by default? In Exploring NORDIC COOL in Literary History twenty-one scholars in collaboration question the seemingly natural fit between ?Nordic? and ?Cool? by investigating its variegated trajectories through literary history, from medieval legends to digital poetry. At the same time, the elasticity and polysemy of the word ?cool? become a means to explore Nordic literary history afresh. It opens up a rich diversity of theoretical and methodological approaches within a regional framework and reveals hitherto unseen links between familiar and less familiar tracks and sites. Following diverse paths of ?Nordic cool? in respect to ? among other things ? nature, survival, love, whiteness, style, economics, heroism and colonialism, this book challenges all-too-recognisable narratives, and underlines the sheer knowledge potential of literary historical research. 410 0$aFILLM studies in languages and literatures ;$vVolume 15. 606 $aNational characteristics, Scandinavian, in literature 606 $aEcology in literature 606 $aScandinavian literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNature in literature 607 $aCold regions$xIn literature 607 $aScandinavia$xIn literature 607 $aScandinavia$xForeign public opinion 615 0$aNational characteristics, Scandinavian, in literature. 615 0$aEcology in literature. 615 0$aScandinavian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNature in literature. 676 $a839.5 702 $aHermansson$b Gunilla$f1974- 702 $aLohfert Jørgensen$b Jens 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794482603321 996 $aExploring NORDIC COOL in literary history$93816014 997 $aUNINA
