Scandinavia through Sunglasses: Spaces of Cultural Exchange between Southern/Southeastern Europe and Nordic Countries

How do the North and the South see each other? How have their images been created? How do they change across time, space and source? Here are the main questions that the authors would like to answer in this collection of imagology-oriented studies situated at the crossroads of various disciplines: South-North in literature, South-North in other cultural production, and South-North in new perspectives.

The contributions show in which way the creation and relationships among the images of the South and North are interpreted and modelled by different intermediators through different sources. The journey starts with literary texts, their translations and reception; and continues across the description of theatre spaces, speeches and musical forms, to conclude with studies based on online sources and interviews.
