WITS---Wisconsin Introductions to Scandinavia--is the acronym for two pamphlet series published by the Department of Scandinavian Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison. WITS (quarto size--ISSN 0742-7018) is an ESSAY SERIES designed to provide short and authoritative introductions to various aspects of Scandinavian Life and Civilization--geography and languages; history and politics, health, education, and welfare; art, literature, and music, etc. Each pamphlet is written by an American specialist in a form suitable for undergraduate instruction or self study, with maps, diagrams, and bibliography.
WITS II (octavo size---ISSN-0742-7026) is a TEXT SERIES, offering translations of Scandinavian plays, poetry, and short stories, selected for use in Literature in Translation classes. Each text selection is edited and introduced by an American scholar. The two series are planned and edited by HARALD NAESS and NIELS INGWERSEN, with the assistance of the following colleagues: Susan Brantly, Kim Nilsson, Dick Ringler, Faith Ingwersen, and Judy Anderson, Program Assistant.
NCCP - Introductory courses to Nordic life and culture have been taught at many foreign universities for years. Such courses tend to be popular and attract students to further study of the Nordic countries. Those who have taught such courses have long been in agreement that a basic textbook is lacking.
It is that need that has resulted in the Nordic Cultural Curriculum Project (NCCP). Thanks to a generous grant from the Nordic Council of Ministers a project has been devised that should alleviate the problems of giving general cultural courses.
To publish one textbook encompassing Nordic culture would be most problematic, not only because it would be a sizable and expensive book, but also because parts of it soon would be outdated and would not permit individual instructors to give a general cultural course their special imprint. Instead a series of pamphlets will be developed. These quarto size booklets can be updated every few years, and instructors will have the freedom to order only those that fit into their particular plan for such a course. Eventually a Teacher's Guide will be developed.
