| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article elaborates on the concept of national reproduction as a means of analysing how national categories were redefined and adjusted in the political process that led to the establishment of the National Library of Norway. Three different forms of national reproduction may be distinguished in this process: the adjustment of cultural and territorial hierarchies within the nation-state in the 1980s; the consolidation of the national community by defining it in contrast to the "foreign" in the 1990s; and the definition by the political elite of a "new national we" that includes the "foreign" after the turn of the millennium. |
