Locating Nordic Noir : From Beck to The Bridge Hardback
by Anne Marit Waade, Kim Toft Hansen
Part of the Palgrave European Film and Media Studies series
Hardback
Description
This book is a comprehensive study of Nordic Noir television drama from the 1990’s until today.
The authors introduce the history of contemporary Nordic Noir from the perspective of place, production and location studies.
The chapters include readings of well-known television crime dramas such as Beck, The Killing, Trapped and The Bridge as well as a range of other important Nordic Noir cases.
The authors position the development of Nordic Noir in the global market for popular television drama and place the international attention towards Nordic crime dramas within regional development of drama production in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland.
Consequently, Nordic Noir is read as both a transnational financial and creative phenomenon and as a local possibility for community building.
Offering a comprehensible, scholarly and methodologically original approach to the popularity of Nordic television crime dramas, this volume is aimed at readers with an interest in crime drama as well as scholars and students of television drama.
