De danske Ministerier er en bogudgivelsesserie, der foreløbig er udkommet i fire bind dækkende dansk regerings- og parlamentarisk historie i perioden 1849 til 1972. Nu har en millionbevilling fra PFA pension gjort det muligt for en gruppe historikere tilknyttet Moderne Europa forskningsprogrammet at ajourføre værket gennem udarbejdelsen af et bd. 5, som skal dække perioden 1972-1993. Bindet får således nogenlunde samme kronologiske længde som det foregående bd. 4 skrevet af Tage Kaarsted, der behandlede perioden 1953-1972. Bindet vil i lighed med de tidligere bind blive organiseret omkring periodens forskellige regeringer med fokus på politik på både regerings- og parlamentarisk plan. Mere specifikt vil bd. 5 fokusere på de grundlæggende forandringer i rammebetingelserne for dansk parlamentarisme, der skete i tiden 1972 til 1993 forårsaget af bl.a. det nye EF-medlemskab, opløsningen af det traditionelle klassebaserede 5-parti system (eksemplificeret ved jordskredsvalget i 1973) og den ændrede socio-økonomiske debat, der opstod i overgangen fra efterkrigstidens højkonjunkturfase til en periode kendetegnet ved begreber som oliekrise, ”fattigfirsere” og nyliberalisme.

This project is concerned with the global and local dynamics that come into play when children's media are produced for a global market and then transferred to a local setting. One particular focus is the challenges that global market products are seen to bring about, because children’s media products often are viewed as playing an important role in their enculturation into a specific cultural (national) environment. The primary way in which I approach this area of research is through an investigation of how the American produced, globally marketed, children’s television programme Sesame Street, was simultaneously appropriated and rejected by national broadcasting companies in different European countries during the 1970s. When Sesame Street came to Europe in the 1970s, it was during a period of social and cultural upheaval where European TV stations held key positions in struggles over national culture. Thus, the exploration of national broadcasters’ roles in the transfer and demarcation of Sesame Street also shows how and why norms, values and ambivalent feelings about American cultural production, especially vis-à-vis children, were negotiated in diverse cultural contexts. This makes Sesame Street's transfer history the optimal focus for an immediate, well-defined and far-reaching project about European childhood and television in the 1970s and 1980s. The project therefore contribute with insights into the differences and similarities in European notions of the role of media in children’s lives and, subsequently, children’s TV’s part in upholding and transgressing national cultures. The project includes printed, digital and audiovisual sources from archives in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Britain, Italy, the United States and Germany.

The global upheaval caused by the protest movements around 1968 revolutionised social structures, overturned cultural conventions, challenged political ideologies, and catalysed civil rights activism by women, gay people and ethnic minorities. Childhood historians stress the importance of this period in altering the authority structures that shaped children’s lives. However, many of the fields within childhood studies driving these changes – children’s media and culture, children’s heritage and art education – remain pushed to the margins within historical master narratives of 1968. These disciplines have had little chance to reflect on their own development, to draw the connections stemming from their shared heritage in 1968, or to trace the historical legacies that have shaped the assumptions underpinning them.

This new collaborative project analyses 1968 as a watershed moment in children’s culture and its related disciplines, following Marwick’s (1998) now canonical definition of 1968 as the crystallisation of the cultural revolution of the ‘long sixties’ (c.1958-c.1974). A team of specialists from cognate fields within childhood studies, including children’s history and media, children’s culture, heritage and art education will pursue this objective, in dialogue with historians of 1968. This new collaboration brings together researchers and practitioners from Denmark, France, Germany, Sweden and the UK.

By thinking about children’s culture as a site for artistic and intellectual experimentation, at the centre of ideological activity across disciplinary boundaries and national borders, this project opens up new ways of understanding the 1968 liberation movements and their legacies. With the fiftieth anniversary of 1968 approaching, it is important that the children’s perspective is finally brought to the fore of scholarly debate and public commemorations.
