Abstract:

How 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.
