English abstract

This article presents an analysis of three Norwegian diasporic films made in 2005. The discussion is centred upon the thematic concerns of the films and their construction of ethnic identity seen in orientalist and occidentalist perspectives. The article argues that the films offer valuable insights into diasporic existence, and that the identity politics of the films – in spite of being marked both by orientalism and occidentalism – are characterized by a desire to avoid to obvious distinctions between good and bad ethnic groups.
