Ecology and Contemporary Nordic Cinemas: From Nation-building to Ecocosmopolitanism

Autor Pietari Kääpä
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 oct 2015
Ecology and Contemporary Nordic Cinemas uses a range of analytical approaches to interrogate how the traditional socio-political rhetoric of national cinema can be rethought through ecosystemic concerns, by exploring a range of Nordic films as national and transnational, regional and local texts--all with significant global implications. By synergizing transnational theories with ecological approaches, the study considers the planetary implications of nation-based cultural production.

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.
