Nationalism and the growth of a national
identity in Norway during the 19th century
  • A cross curricular project in History, Norwegian
    and Arts subjects
  • at Rosenvilde Upper secondary school
  • Norway
  • By Anders Lindhjem-Godal

  • A cross curricular project in History, Norwegian
    and arts subjects
  • Main target for the project
  • What was chosen as Norwegian and why was it
    chosen?

3
Why is that an important topic?
  • It makes it possible to
  • discuss students predominant views
  • teach the students that cultures are more complex
    and diverse than they seem
  • understand the complexity of Norwegian
    contemporary society

4
How have we worked?
  • Active learning find and read different sources
  • Working in a cross curricular manner different
    approaches to the national question
  • Started with revealing their predominant view
    What is typically Norwegian?

5
The bunad
6
Even the pets.
7
What did the students find out?
  • The presumed especially Norwegian with the bunad
    was a mix of cultures all over the world
  • Some aspects were glorified in the nation
    building process, for example farmers and rural
    life
  • The fairy tales is very similar to f.ex. German
    fairy tales ( Grimm brothers)

8
Conclusions
  • The term Norwegian was to a highly degree
    invented
  • Societies can be more diverse than they seem
  • How can we open eyes to diversity in Norway
    today?
  • If we reveal the diversity, it might be easier
    for immigrants to integrate. It become easier to
    become Norwegian.
