- W323517963 abstract "Brian Andreasen, Mette Jorgensen, Svend Erik Larsen, and Dan Ringgaard. LitteraturDK. Ed. Benedicte Kieler. LR it stretches all the way into the local pastor's field, she quacks, although she confesses that she has never been there. One of her offspring, the ugly one, as we know, escapes the confines of his birthplace and--like his author--expands his horizon and finds himself elsewhere. As suggested by the acronym DK--which brings associations to both Internet domain addresses and to Danish automobile stickers signaling nationality while driving in other countries--LiteraturDK wants to nudge students (in this case high school students) away from the local duck yard so that they can contextualize Danish literature vis-a-vis other cultures and open the horizon to a global world in critical ways. This is a commendable and timely undertaking, a refreshing alternative to traditional literary histories. The borders around Denmark are and always have been shifting, we learn, and Danish literature should be seen as part of a dynamic that resonates outside of nation-building constructs. The perspective is global, the texts are local: Litteraturen giver os adgang til et faelles kulturelt rum, der er storre end de lokale sprog og stealer (13) [Literature offers access to a common cultural space that is larger than local languages and places]. To carry out this ambitious task, LitteraturDK opts for a theme-organized model. It consists of six parts: Oppe & nede [Up & Down], Hjemme & ude [Home & Away], Fantasi & virkelighed [Fantasy & Reality], Jeg, mig & de andre [I, Me, & the Others], Krop & omverden [Body & Environment], and finally Os & det Andet [Us & the Other]. Each of the six thematic parts is subdivided into six periods determined by key social, political, religious, or technological events: from the Viking age to the Reformation (800-1536), from the Reformation to the Battle of Copenhagen [Slaget pa Reden] (1536-1801), from the Battle of Copenhagen to The Constitutional Act of Denmark (1801-1849), from The Constitutional Act of Denmark to World War I (1849-1914), from World War I to the first man on the moon (1914-1969), and finally from the first man on the moon to the publication date of the book (1969-2009). These historical periods are selected in order to allow for interdisciplinary examination between literature and other historical fields of study relevant to high school students. Throughout, the authors take pains to cover important genres by offering selected close readings of novels (I.P. Jacobsen's Fru Marie Grubbe), short stories (Karen Blixen's udodelige historie), poems (Klaus Rifbjerg's Konfrontation), essays (Johannes V. Jensen's Den gotiske Renaissance) and drama (in this case Moliere's Don Juan eller Stengosten is selected as part of the volume's effort to include examples from world literature). Each thematic section moves through the six periods with changing foci. In Oppe & nede, for example, the concentration is on power relations: rich and poor, knowledge and ignorance, men and women, and Danes and foreigners. Starting with folklore (in the form of Esben Askepuster's defiance of authority) and the honor system in saga literature (Gisli Sursson's Saga), we move quickly to the translation of the Bible from Latin to the vernacular and on to Thomas Kingo's defense of the destitute in De fattige udj Odensee Hospital (1683) and further on to Denmark's colonial politics as represented by Thomas Thaarup's play Peters Bryllup (1793). We then shift from P.A. Heiberg's challenge of the authorities about the loss of national power in the early nineteenth century and the articulation of national romanticism by Poul Martin Moller, N. …" @default.
