\"\"The \u201cwhodunit\u201d is an entertaining way to spend a lazy evening in front of a fireplace, hot chocolate within handy reach.\u00a0 But what is it that makes these novels so engaging, and what can we learn about the society that produces them?\u00a0 In this course we examine contemporary Nordic society through the lens of detective and crime fiction, tracing changes in societal concerns throughout the development of the genre at the same time as we examine the structure and aesthetics of what makes a good crime novel.

One unique aspect of our program is that we offer a yearly topics course in Norwegian for students who have completed the fifth semester of Norwegian (NOR 253).\u00a0 This allows those students who have some previous Norwegian learning experience prior to coming to St. Olaf the opportunity to take this multiple times (we have had two students take 4 iterations of the course!). Each year we focus on different content areas and different skill sets (writing vs. speaking for example) to offer a wide variety of experiences each year.\u00a0 Recent topic descriptions:<\/p>\n

2021-22: Okkupasjon, flukt og krig (NORW 373)
\n<\/strong>This advanced Norwegian course investigates media portrayals of occupation, exodus, and war throughout Norwegian history. Each portrayal will be paired with an article or literary excerpt that further contextualizes the historical event. With Nordic noir as our starting point, we will first examine a futuristic political TV drama before transitioning to historic period dramas. We will then investigate accounts of individuals who fled their home countries due to persecution, war or violence. Through these we will examine the degree to which filmmakers have artistic freedom in the retelling of national history. Students will also hear the stories of new refugees who have sought refuge in Norway. Students develop a topic of their choosing which they will use as a base for a final presentation. The course will end with a discussion of when wars end, and investigate the systematic discrimination from communities and government alike.

2020-21: Norsk humor: det morsomme i det norske hverdagslivet
\n<\/b>Norge har ofte blir k\u00e5ret til en av verdens mest lykkelige landene, men hva er det som gj\u00f8r nordmenn til \u00e5 le? Hva er det som kjennetegner norsk humor og hvordan har norsk humor utviklet seg over tid?<\/p>\n

I dette kurset ser vi n\u00e6rmere p\u00e5 det morsomme i det norske hverdagslivet. Vi kommer til \u00e5 diskutere bruken av satire, parodi og ironi som samfunnskritikk og vil se n\u00e6rmere p\u00e5 stereotypiene som disse humor genrene angriper. Vi vil reflekterer over hvordan humor har blitt brukt i forskjellige perioder som middel mot undertrykelse.<\/p>\n

Hovedteksten er <\/span>Ingrid Winters makel\u00f8se mismot<\/span><\/i> av Janne Drangsholt fra 2015. I tillegg skal vi se p\u00e5 norsk TV og filmer og lese korte tekster for \u00e5 unders\u00f8ke det som kan kalles norsk humor.<\/span><\/p>\n

2019-20: H\u00f8ytider & vendepunker
\n<\/strong>Norge har en nedarvet og innholdsrik festkultur med skikker og tradisjoner knyttet til de viktigste begivenheter i familie- og samfunnsliv.\u00a0 Mange av disse tradisjonene har r\u00f8tter i f\u00f8rkristen tid.<\/p>\n

Ved fester og ritualer trer man p\u00e5 et vis ut av hverdagen eller gir hverdagen en ny kontekst. Festen som institusjon er ikke bare en avveksling fra hverdagslivet, men ogs\u00e5 en markering av de normer og verdier folk flest setter mest pris p\u00e5 og \u00f8nsker at individ og samfunn skal ivareta og bygge videre p\u00e5.\u00a0 De er ogs\u00e5 n\u00f8dvendige for at vi skal kunne reflektere over v\u00e5r egen tilv\u00e6relse og historie, og sette ting i en st\u00f8rre sammenheng.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I dette kurset studerer vi b\u00e5de livs- og \u00e5rsh\u00f8ytider for \u00e5 f\u00e5 et bedre forst\u00e5else for opphavene av de norske tradisjonene som nordmenn feirer og vendepunkter som er tungt \u00e5 oppleve.\u00a0 Pensumet inkluderer en lang skj\u00f8nnlitter\u00e6re tekst, forskningsstudier, filmer, en TV serie og artikler som belyser utviklingen og endringene i norsk samfunn.<\/span><\/p>\n

2018-19:<\/strong> TV & spr\u00e5k: det norske spr\u00e5ket i endring<\/strong>
\n<\/span>Alle levende spr\u00e5k forandrer seg stadig. Dette gjelder ogs\u00e5 det norske spr\u00e5ket. B\u00e5de skriftnormene bokm\u00e5l og nynorsk samt talespr\u00e5ket har opplevd store forandringer gjennom tidene og utvikler seg fortsatt i dag. Hvordan oppst\u00e5r disse endringene i det moderne Norge? Hva er det som endres?<\/p>\n

Dette kurset belyser ulike sider ved det norske spr\u00e5ket og dets utvikling og endring, med fokus p\u00e5 talespr\u00e5ket i Norge. Vi skal f\u00f8rst unders\u00f8ke talespr\u00e5kets historie.\u00a0 Deretter skal vi se p\u00e5 fjernsynets utvikling og hvordan de p\u00e5virker hverandre. Vi skal diskutere spr\u00e5kbruken, handlingene og kritikken rundt noen utvalgte TV-serier for \u00e5 f\u00e5 en bredere forst\u00e5else for utviklingen.<\/p>\n

2017-18: NORSK 372: \u00abDet norske\u00bb f\u00f8r og n\u00e5
\n<\/strong>Ulike forestillinger om \u00abdet norske\u00bb ble skapt p\u00e5 1800-tallet og ble grunnlaget for den norske nasjonsbyggingen.\u00a0 De norske nasjonsbyggerne mente at en nasjon b\u00f8r dannes p\u00e5 bakgrunn av at et folk har et felles spr\u00e5k, en felles historie, og felles kultur og verdier \u2013 alts\u00e5 et kulturelt fellesskap eller folke\u00e5nd. Hvordan ble forestillinger om Norge og \u00abdet norske\u00bb skapt p\u00e5 1800-tallet? Og hvordan preger disse forestillingene Norge i dag?<\/p>\n

Debatten p\u00e5 det som kjennetegner norsk kultur har p\u00e5g\u00e5tt i mange \u00e5r. Hva vil det egentlig si \u00e5 v\u00e6re norsk i dag? Hvorfor er det s\u00e5 mye fokus i dagens samfunn p\u00e5 det som regnes som \u00abtypisk norsk\u00bb? Hva skal til for \u00e5 kalle seg nordmann? Pensumet inkluderer noveller, artikler, forskningsstudier, kronikker, debattinnlegg og dokufilmer som belyser ulike sider av utviklingen og endringene i norsk kultur.<\/p>\n

2016-17: Nordisk barnelitteratur<\/strong>
\nI dette kurset leser og analyserer studenter barneb\u00f8ker og (noen ungdomsb\u00f8ker) som har v\u00e6rt viktige eller sentrale til norsk barnelitteraturhistorie. Barneb\u00f8kene vi leser har v\u00e6rt l\u00e6rerike, popul\u00e6re eller prisbel\u00f8nnet. Kurset tar ogs\u00e5 opp temaet den sterke jenta som beskrives i mange barneb\u00f8ker fra Norden. Kurset tar ogs\u00e5 opp diskusjoner om konseptene av fortellerkunst, den dobbelte stemmen i barnelitteraturen og <\/span>adaptasjoner av barneb\u00f8ker i andre medier som <\/span>film og forestilling.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n\n\t\t\t\n

\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\tHIST 271: In Their Own Words: Literature by Immigrants in Minnesota\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n <\/button>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

In this course, students read creative works written by immigrants to Minnesota, from nineteenth century arrivals from Nordic countries to contemporary works that reflect the diversity of recent immigrants to this state. Historical studies of immigration to Minnesota contextualize literary works. In this discussion-based course, students problematize the idea of a unifying “immigrant experience,” and instead explore how creative works render visible the unique challenges immigrants, and their communities, face. Offered periodically in the spring. Also counts toward the Nordic Studies major and concentration.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u201cMultiethnolects\u201d is a collective term for urban contact languages that develop in multiethnic neighborhoods. Students learn to analyze the language structure of multiethnolects, the role of language in social groups, and how people express their identities through language. They also investigate perspectives on multiethnolects from outside the speech community, e.g., how attitudes towards “non-standard” languages influence public debates, and how those debates on language are used as a battleground for resistance against societal change. Offered periodically in the spring semester. Also counts toward the German and Norwegian, and Nordic Studies majors. Also counts toward the German studies and Nordic studies concentrations. Prerequisite: LNGST 250 or equivalent.
