| Summary: | • Nordic studies and institutional foundation The Nordic Studies and Institutional Foundation section comprises contributions from linguistic, literary but also cultural and business-oriented perspectives. The authors of the articles, from Norway to Poland and Romania, essentially reveal the role of languages, literature and culture – in this case Norwegian, Sami and Swedish – in our global world. Language and cultural communication, through classic or contemporary literature, performing arts as well as literary translations, impressively promoted by Norwegian Literature Abroad (Norla), are reflected in a variety of articles on Norwegian literature as world literature, or on Sami theatre in a global context. While one of the case studies presents valuable insights into proficiency levels in minor languages correlated to students’ job satisfaction, another analyses the context of institutional development. The articles also present automatically-classifying variants of the modern Norwegian language, perspectives on issues of multimodality and identity in the 21 century, as well as specific academic, cultural and labour market frameworks. The literary research showcased in a couple of articles - from Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg to emblematic contemporary writers - reflects the preoccupations of Romanian academics representing the educational environment provided by specific bachelor programmes offered by Babeş-Bolyai University and the University of Bucharest, for the comprehensive field of Scandinavian Studies. |
