About the project
International literature or films that have had any important impact on the ongoing debates in Norway may also be relevant material. Since the focus of the project is not aesthetization as such but the meeting point between the aesthetic and the social, the reception of and critical inquiries into the literature will be used in the study. It will also be of special interest for this study to look particularly at the performance of masculinities in literature and film and public debates around gender and masculinities in the chosen documents, not least because there has been a preoccupation with masculinities in Norwegian fiction and documentary films and literature over the past decade.
