Recenzii
The quality and depth of the references in this book provide a new platform and focus for ecocinema scholarship... [With] fascinating chapters including studies of deer western and road movies; the horror film; children's film; crime and urban eco-narratives, alongside specific Nordic multicultural and minority concerns, drawing from a broad corpus of films and documentaries. This multi-faceted and convincing study will inspire scholars and help to draw further comparisons with Hollywood and other national cinemas well into the future.
Ecology and Contemporary Nordic Cinemas shows how film has helped create Nordic love for nature, but also how film works to conceal a Nordic history of the exploitation of nature. The study explores ecocritical approaches to genre, ideologies of the welfare state, globalization, transnationalism, and green activism in the cinema. All this is developed in a theory of transvergent ecocriticism, which helps the reader see newly emergent forms of environmental consciousness. Ecology and Contemporary Nordic Cinemas will be required reading for anyone interested in Nordic cinema or ecocriticism and film.
