Nomadisch-ekstatisch-magisch Skandinavischer Arktisprimitivismus im ausgehenden 19. und beginnenden 20. Jahrhundert

Nomadic - ecstatic - magic. The fascination for the Arctic that was so formative for Scandinavian modernity finds its distillation in these terms. In this book, Hanna Eglinger explores the key characteristics of Arctic primitivism in Scandinavia around 1900 in an approach that combines both aesthetic and cultural dimensions. Her book focuses on the specific Scandinavian figuration of Arctic primitivism as it manifests in literature, visual art, and film.
