Förlagets information

This volume is one of the outcomes of the Media and the Second Cold War 1975-1991 project at Volda University College, Norway, and its collaboration with several Norwegian, Danish, Swedish and Finnish scholars. The project is linked to the international project Nuclear Crisis at the Universities of Heidelberg and Augsburg. The relationship between Nordic media and the Cold War was the subject of a Temporary Working group during the Nordic conference for Media and Communication Research in Oslo, in August 2013. The editors of this book led the group, during which a number of papers with new studies were presented, many of them published here, but we have also included contributions from other researchers. In total, we are publishing 17 articles that shed new light on Nordic media during the Cold War.

The Cold War between the East and West during the period 1945-1991 was a rivalry where the world’s doom constantly emerged as a possible result. The Cold War was global and included northern European countries like Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway in different ways. Historians are still discussing how Cold War history should be understood in these countries, but they have rarely been concerned about mass media and communications. Meanwhile, many media scholars have neglected the theme entirely. In this book, these two areas of knowledge are combined in new research on the Nordic mass media, and its significance during the Cold War. A number of controversial topics are covered. Nineteen Nordic scholars sheds new light on Nordic print media in all four countries, but also write about radio and the television broadcasting. Extending the traditional Cold War research on media and communication to include sport, magazines for men, political cartoons, and films, the book lays the foundation for Cold War studies to become an integrated interdisciplinary field of knowledge, and a more central part of the Nordic media research than before - with countless opportunities for exciting new research, with high relevance to world conflicts in our own time. Henrik G. Bastiansen is Professor at Faculty of Media and Journalism, Volda University College, Norway. Rolf Werenskjold is Associate Professor at Faculty of Media and Journalism, Volda University College, Norway.
