Conclusion: A Conversation

2017

In the concluding chapter the editors of the volume take a conversational look into the producing process of Nordic Girlhoods: New Perspectives and Outlooks. The authors discuss key contemporary issues and future perspectives in Nordic girlhood studies and foreground the political relevance of the research field in the contemporary societal situation. They call for reflexive and critical theorizations on what counts as the Nordic, especially when the girl is to be found in the middle of several nationalistic desires and conservative political discourses.

Introduction: Nordic Girlhoods—New Perspectives and Outlooks

2017

In the Introduction, Bodil Formark, Heta Mulari and Myry Voipio discuss the history, key themes, and societal position of Nordic girlhood studies. They focus on the development of the research field in Nordic countries and pay special analytical attention to gender equality and the societal model known as the Nordic model. They also discuss femininity as a political issue in Nordic feminist politics and research and contemplate the specific academic and linguistic boundary conditions of doing Girlhood Studies in the Nordic countries.
