Here the focus will be overtly on the processes of (re)conceptualising Nordic national identities in the wake of the large influx of migrants from primarily the non-European world. It is the premise that the existing homogeneous conceptualisations of national identities in the Nordic countries will have to give way to more cosmopolitan definitions of Nordic national identities. Which again leads back to the initial question for the first workshop regarding, whether there is in fact a special Nordic condition – an exceptionalism or unique national settings in an increasingly globalised world order. It will be asked how the history is conceptualised and written, how the present and the past are generally conceptualised as linked together.
