Capital and Cultural Hegemonism: a Historical Overview of the “Foreign Element” in Norwegian Society
Rita L. Chepulis
; Oslo, Norveška
Sažetak
The paper examines from a historical perspective, certain socio-economic aspects of the indigenous Sami and foreign workers' situation in Norway. The discussion deals first with the implications of concepts such as “homogeneous society” and second, using Edward Said's notion of “flexible positional superiority”, analyzes the foreigner's relationship to the dominant Norwegian society. In particular, the paper attempts to show that a combination of both economic interests and Western cultural hegemonistic attitudes have been used, historically and actually, in various ways to legitimize: a) arbitrary designations of “foreign” or “migrant” categories; b) internal colonialism and a policy of Norwegianization; and c) control and exclusion of particular foreign groups from the society.
