Nordic identities in transition - as reflected in pedagogic texts and cultural contexts

This book raises some central questions concerning identities, especially the construction and the representations of identities. The question of identities in transition in a Nordic context is presented in the following way: a theoretic overview, an overview over languages and language policies in the Nordic countries, the role of digital media and gender issues related to youth cultures and identity constructions, religion and ethnicity, and the question of national identities. The articles represent transitional processes in Denmark, Finland, The Faroe Islands, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
