    Peoplehood 

    Peoplehood - what a word! Through tumultous times with wars on land borders, disputes on languages spoken, and relations with foreign nation states, peoplehood is shaped, molded and at times reconfigured. Host Andrew Davidson takes a deep dive along with modern historian Ove Korsgaard to pinpoint some of the most important events that have shaped the notion of Danish and to some extent Nordic peoplehood.

    Everyone’s heard of The Little Mermaid and Pippi Longstocking, the two well known characters written by the Nordic authors Hans Christian Andersen and Astrid Lindgren respectively. AAnd even though the two characters are quite different and came about at very different times they do share certain traits and both had societal significance. Host Andrew Davidson has invited the authors of Children’s Literature Nina Christensen and Charlotte Appel, who have not only brought fascinating knowledge on the subject, but also an abundance of books to the studio.
