My post.doc. project, which is a part of the project Making memories. Contemporary Aesthetic Articulations of Norway in the Second World War, mainly analyzes works, where children or grandchildren retells the history of their relatives or families. These families were in different ways connected to the “wrong” side in the Second World War in Norway. Either as soldiers or members of Nation Samling. The aim of the project is to examine how these works relate to, reworks, criticizes, or reevaluates the dominant Norwegian understanding of the Second World War.
