Abstract
Abstract: The Norwegian author Alf Prøysen made use of a number of different

media technologies in the production and distribution of his literature

for children. But more than that, in some of these stories he also reflected

upon modern technology in general. This is the case in his collection of short

stories for children, Da jeg var liten (When I was a Child). Here Prøysen

emphasises how child protagonists perceive modern technology such as cars,

airplanes, and tractors, in a rural setting in the 1920s, with both fascination

and anxiety. Still, at the end of the story the protagonist, Alf, exceeds both

of these responses when he reflects on the “real” meaning of technology, and

comes to the conclusion that nature can create miracles and do things that

modern technology cannot. The article discusses how Prøysen’s presentation

of modern technologies in Da jeg var liten can be regarded as literary

techno-critique, arguing that the protagonist’s change of perception can be

interpreted as a shift from what Martin Heidegger more in general has called

”calculative thinking” to that of ”meditative thinking”.
