Abstract

In Wilhelminian society, Denmark and Danishness were mostly constructed as part of a ‘north’ and a northernness sharing a deeply-rooted kinship with Germany, but at the same time as a pre-capitalist counterpart to a rapidly modernizing German society. However, Danish films figured prominently both in German cinemas and in cinematic debates as moral dramas with tingling piquancy, and were produced by companies that were highly successful in economic terms. How was this conflict between a pristine ‘Nordic’ Denmark on the one hand and the Danish films on the other hand negotiated, and perhaps even resolved, in German advertisements for Danish films and in discourses on Danish films?

Translated title:	Title Language Om danske films danskhed i Tyskland frem til 1918 Danish
Translated abstract:	Abstract Language Frem til 1918 blev Danmark og det danske som sådan mest set som del af et norden, der opfattedes som et førkapitalistisk men racemæssigt relateret modstykke til det kejserlige Tyskland, som var under hastig modernisering. Samtidig indtog dansk stumfilm med sine moralske dramaer og kildrende pikanterier en prominent position i tyske biografer og blev produceret af moderne og stærkt fremgangsrige selskaber. Denne artikel analyserer, hvordan modsætningen mellem den moderne og fremstormende danske filmindustri og forestillingen om det uspolerede nordiske Danmark udspillede sig i den tyske omtale af Danmark og dansk film, og hvordan markedsføringen af dansk film på sæt og vis opløste denne modsætning.
