Imagine an ambitious and impudent enterprise to try to summarize the whole culture in only 100 works, brands and ideas.
Well, this is exactly what the Swedish government made and presented. After several years of work and a dizzying amount of eight million raven (approximately 727,000 euros – according to Sweden Herald), The historian Lars Tregardh handed over to the Swedish cultural rule to the Minister of Culture at the press conference held yesterday in UPPal.
The list that should determine what it means to be Swedish and establish a “common card and a compass” for Swedish citizens and beginners in the country, was something like a favorite plan of nationalist, antihimmitters of the Swedish democrats. This was even part of the righteous righteous government coalition.
So what happened to the final reduction?
Nobel Prize, Pipi Longing, IKEA, a license for paternity and the Bible of Gustav Vasa 1541, all are included in the list of “cultural rule” of Sweden.
Other additions include the cult film by Ingmara Bergman “Seventh seal“From 1957, the work of Hilma A.F. Clint “Molningar Tolyam Tempert”, Stockholm Town Hall, developed by Ragnar Ostberg, the practice of Allemanstrata (Freedom of Wandering), Kemelungen (18 -year -old dining room).
Bell bell bell?
AbbaUndoubtedly, the most popular cultural export product of Sweden could not get into the program.
The reason for which this was done? Obviously, all elements of the rule should be at least 50 years, which makes the complex not suitable. In addition, modern experience is excluded.
Nevertheless, anyone who has at least the most relaxed contact with the history of culture or is capable of printing fostering words in the search engine, knows that Abbas was formed in 1972, won Eurovision in 1974 and released their signs “SOS” and “Mamma Mia” in 1975.
The main mathematics dictates that ABBA also complies with the conditions of the 50 -year reduction rule above. And we are not the only ones we observed is a flagrant and aggravating trust.
Swedish deputy Jan Erickson said that Abba is “one of the most important symbols of Swedish culture” at the international level. He published on the Internet: “Here, then a bunch of connoisseurs of public relations sits and chooses various parts of the Swedish culture and society, which should symbolize Sweden. And then they do not turn on the Abbu. Which abroad is one of the most important symbols of the Swede? “
The acceptability schedule was also excluded by the majority of deposits made by about every five Swedes born abroad. Most of these immigrants arrived in Sweden after 1975.
It is also worth noting that Christian participation dominates the front of religion, with the exception of one of the first Sinagogues of Sweden, Marstrand. There is no link to the Muslim population of Sweden – this faith is the largest non -cheristic religious group in the country.
Many said to condemn this list as restrained, and the Swedish Academy awarded the Nobel Prize and representatives of the indigenous group themselves in order to criticize the initiative as very close and exclusive.
The Union, which represents the Tornedalen Aborigines in North Sweden, shared that it was not allowed to participate in the plan, which, as she called “ongoing oppression.”
As for the Swedish writer Schora Esmailan, he told Sydsvenskan that state rules on what it means to be Swedish will not help create a “hospitable and equal society”.
The Prime Minister of the Swede Ulf Kristerson (depicted in the aforementioned report X with the Minister of Culture of Paris Liljestrand) defended this initiative, saying: “Understanding the culture that formed our country is important for everyone. But, perhaps, the most important thing for those who came to Sweden and in Sweden.
As for Lilderster, he answered critics, saying that the rule was incorrectly understood.
“Our approach to this issue has always been that the Swedish cultural rule should be a bright and useful tool for education, community and integration,” he said yesterday at the press conference.
The lists are magnificent, and congratulations on all this natvardsgästerna (winter light, which actually entered into a reduction), but if you do not want critics to accuse the expensive rule of the “nationalist education plan”, that only anti -immigration is not anti -immigration. They enrich this and deserve more than to be delayed arbitrary terms.
Ah, and on the birthday of the 50th anniversary of the album “Abba” – TrägåRDH and Liljestrand will really have to control it. This is great.
