Introduksjon til spørjelista

Norwegian national identity as experienced and comprehended by Baltic nationals in Norway. What kind of country is Norway? Who are the Norwegians? How do they express themselves? Vikings, folk culture, mountains and fjords, the Norwegian way of life in a welfare state; how is it linked together? These are the main questions we would like you, people from the Eastern coast of the Baltic Sea, to answer.

National identity can be compared to a picture painted in several individual colours, one for every citizen. The general impression of the natives and the country, as formed by foreigners, is of a different quality. Let us try to synthesize that picture instead of forming images based on personal impressions.

This questionnaire deals with some notions about Norway and Norwegians conceived before coming to Norway for the first time. It also touches upon everyday's experience and contacts with Norwegians while being in Norway. Do not hesitate to answer the questions even if you have but seen glimpses of Norwegianness, or if you have stayed in Norway only for a short time.

We are sure that your replies will make the relations between Norway and the Baltic countries closer and help enhance academic and scholarly co-operation and tourism.

The Norwegian Ethnological Research Foundation will treat every reply according to laws about personal security and rules concerning good research ethics.
