Like Huginn and Muninn? Cinema studies and Scandinavian studies as Kulturwissenschaft
View through CrossRef
As ‘Scandinavian cinema’ is the subject both of cinema studies and Scandinavian studies, this article discusses their relationship in the past and present. The primary focus is on their differing approaches as well as possible synergies between these two disciplines with regard to the study of Scandinavian cinema. Scandinavian studies is a necessary supplement and a support to cinema studies, while engaging with cinema is at the same time both an opportunity to take the transition to Scandinavian studies as Kulturwissenschaft seriously and to attract students interested in media.
