Samtiden is Norway's largest and oldest general cultural journal, established to promote discussions about literature, theatre, film and other art forms. The magazine publishes a range of genres, including criticism, essays, commentaries and interviews, and aims to shed light on current themes and cultural politics.
In addition to printed editions, Samtiden offers an e-magazine and newsletter, which gives readers the opportunity to stay up-to-date on the content. The journal also has an extensive archive of previous issues, which can be a resource for those who wish to explore previous discussions and analyses. At the same time, readers are encouraged to contribute their own texts and tips, which can enrich the content and create a wider dialogue around culture and society.
