Welcome to Troy Storfjell's Web Pages
Scandinavian Studies is a broad, interdisciplinary field that attempts
to understand the peoples, cultures and societies of the Nordic region
from a variety of perspectives. My own areas of specialization include
- literary and cultural studies;
- film;
- ethnic, gendered, and national
identity construction;
- colonialism and postcolonialism; and
- globalization.
In
particular I have focused on the indigenous Sámi people and the circumpolar arctic, on Nordic colonialisms, and on contemporary Norwegian literature and
Nordic film (particularly the Nordic road movie).
I am especially interested in how we are positioned by prevailing
ideologies to support the power dynamics of the status quo, and in
finding ways to expose this process in the hopes of opening up space
for resistance.
