Abstract
For six years, from 2004 to 2010, I directed an interdisciplinary research pro gramme at the University of Oslo, called 'Cultural Complexity in the New Norway' (University of Norway, n.d.). Comprising theologians, philosophers, his torians, law scholars, sociologists, ethnologists, media scholars, anthropologists and others, the aims of the programme were to update empirical descriptions of Norway and to propose dynamic, open-ended and flexible analytical perspectives as alternatives to methodological nationalism in its various guises. As in many European countries, transnationalism is widely seen as an exceptional and anom alous phenomenon in Norway, and value pluralism is generally perceived as a challenge and a source of fragmentation. This is not only the case with the public at large, but tacit assumptions to this effect are also easily identified in mainstream social science.
