løsningene

Løsningene is a Norwegian term meaning "the solutions." In contemporary Norwegian discourse, it is used as a label for initiatives, projects, and creative works that aim to identify and implement practical remedies to social, technical, or personal problems. The expression has appeared as a title in both literary and audiovisual contexts, where different authors and creators explore how people confront challenges, make choices, and evaluate trade-offs between competing options.

In literature and film, Løsningene has been used as a title for several works that investigate problem solving in everyday life, communities, or institutions. These works range in genre from investigative reportage to narrative fiction, and they often foreground questions of responsibility, agency, and the limits of technocratic approaches.

In policy and design discourse, Løsningene is sometimes invoked to characterize approaches that prioritize user involvement, experimentation, and incremental improvement. Proponents view the term as a way to anchor discussions around tangible outcomes rather than abstract ideals.

Critics warn that the appeal of ready-made "solutions" can obscure structural causes of problems or presuppose technocratic fixes. The term thus functions as a focal point for debates about problem framing, expertise, and power.
