The Reformation was established and institutionalized in the Nordic countries statewide and enduringly within a few decades as the st ate church either until now or until very recently. The fundamental thesi s is that it was not only one of the most important political factors in the political\, social and ecclesiastical history of Scandinavia\, but th at it has also had a deep impact on cultural life in all its forms until today: on literature\, visual arts\, music\, on both high and popular cul ture\, on cultural practices and performances. The repercussions concern content (presence of Christian inter-texts) and form: We might detect a p redilection for simplicity\, logocentrism\, purism\, worldliness as oblig ation\, tension between individualism and collectivism and in consequence a tendency to prefer aesthetic forms as subjective poetry\, autobiograph y and engaged literature. Protestantism as a common denominator of Nordic cultures calls attention to the significant common ground of different c haracteristics and developments\, on special features compared with other cultural areas and on the tension-filled dynamics of Nordic cultures on the background of other transnational developments.\\r\\nIn connection wi th this project\, there are seminars offered in all three participating u niversities (Thomas Mohnike\, Université de Strasbourg\, Lena Rohrbach\, Universität Basel and Joachim Grage\, Universität Freiburg).

X-ALT-DESC: The project "\;Aesthetics of Protestantism in Northern Euro pe"\; aims to analyze the significance of Protestantism for the aesthe tics of Nordic cultures. The Reformation was established and institutional ized in the Nordic countries statewide and enduringly within a few decade s as the state church either until now or until very recently. The fundam ental thesis is that it was not only one of the most important political factors in the political\, social and ecclesiastical history of Scandina via\, but that it has also had a deep impact on cultural life in all its forms until today: on literature\, visual arts\, music\, on both high and popular culture\, on cultural practices and performances. The repercussi ons concern content (presence of Christian inter-texts) and form: We migh t detect a predilection for simplicity\, logocentrism\, purism\, worldlin ess as obligation\, tension between individualism and collectivism and in consequence a tendency to prefer aesthetic forms as subjective poetry\, autobiography and engaged literature. Protestantism as a common denominat or of Nordic cultures calls attention to the significant common ground of different characteristics and developments\, on special features compare d with other cultural areas and on the tension-filled dynamics of Nordic cultures on the background of other transnational developments.\nIn conne ction with this project\, there are seminars offered in all three partici pating universities (Thomas Mohnike\, Université de Strasbourg\, Lena Ro hrbach\, Universität Basel and Joachim Grage\, Universität Freiburg).
