Since 2009, the Norwegian public service broadcaster NRK has produced a number of slow TV shows. Some of the programmes have had a surprisingly big success in terms of public engagement and audience share even though the majority of the audience was from the oldest age groups. These programmes are not only slow, lasting a long time and lacking dramatic development and progress, they also engage in a particular, traditional version of national identity. The current article argues that, through slow TV, the Norwegian public service broadcaster has found a new way to reflect a particular version of Norwegian identity and to tap into the central values of Norwegian culture. Taken together, the shows cover all regions of the country—the coastal areas as well the inlands and mountains. In terms of representation, the programmes highlight nature and traditional Norwegian values such as closeness to nature, rural life, and “friluftsliv” (living the outdoor life). Urban areas and the non-white population are conspicuously absent.

来自外围的电视——慢速电视和挪威的民族认同

自 2009 年以来，挪威公共服务广播公司 NRK 制作了许多慢速电视节目。一些节目在公众参与和观众份额方面取得了惊人的巨大成功，尽管大多数观众来自年龄最大的年龄段。这些项目不仅缓慢、持续时间长、缺乏戏剧性的发展和进步，而且还涉及一种特定的、传统的民族认同。当前的文章认为，通过慢速电视，挪威公共服务广播公司找到了一种新方式来反映特定版本的挪威身份并挖掘挪威文化的核心价值观。综上所述，节目覆盖了全国所有地区——沿海地区以及内陆和山区。在代表性方面，这些节目突出了自然和挪威的传统价值观，例如亲近自然、乡村生活和“friluftsliv”（户外生活）。城市地区和非白人人口明显不存在。
