F I N D I N G D O C U M E N T A T I O NA&C teachers and artists in the observed DKS school project, and of a USresearcher on the AiR pr<strong>og</strong>ram. As such my sources of documentation aremultiple and substantive. I will continue by describing more comprehensivelythe source pool, and describe what the focus for the different sources will be.First Source of Documentation: Regulations and Official DocumentsThe political documents regarding DKS represent a narrative that is a fusionof several points of view. Thus they appear ambiguous, and can be used asarguments for several worldviews. I have chosen not to include all documentsthat mention the subject A&C and DKS, but have made a selection. Theselection will include the official Reports to the Storting (KD 2007; KKD2003a; 2007) and the Propositions that are most vital to the DKS pr<strong>og</strong>ram(Familie- kultur- <strong>og</strong> administrasjonskomiteen 2003; Stortinget 2004), orrepresent the major trends.

I have chosen to include all the relevant hits from A-tekst that have been retrieved from the larger newspapers, that is to say,national and regional press. Local press is not well represented in A-tekst,and to search through and include all the local newspaper writings of DKS isan endeavour for later research. The texts included in my study span from2002, when the launch of the nationwide pr<strong>og</strong>ram was planned, until 2008,well into the pr<strong>og</strong>ram running.I will also include articles from the ‘art world’ journal Billedkunst and the‘school world’ journal Utdanning. I have chosen the general educationjournal Utdanning over the specialised A&C journal FORM. The journal37
