"This volume brings together scholarly theories and practices on speculative fiction from the Nordic countries, including Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, that are all rooted in similar values, culture, and history, yet are independent and unique societies. The book exhibits both the convergences and the diversity of the Nordics in fiction and fandom, as well as in research. It traces the roots of Nordic speculative fiction, how it has developed over time and how the changes in Nordic environments and societies caused by overhanging shared global issues - such as climate change, mass migration, and technological acceleration - find space in speculative practices. The first of its kind, this book allows for deeper insight into the unique characteristics that make Nordic literature and art recognisable and allows for a better understanding of the place of the Nordics within wider global culture systems. The chapters range from literary critiques, film and television studies, creative works by three Nordic poets, transcultural text comparisons and contributions on speculative art, to theoretical and methodological discussions on fandom, worldbuilding and semantics. Part of the Studies in Global Genre Fiction series, this anthology contributes to connecting Nordic speculative fiction scholarship to the wider global community within the field. It will be of interest to scholars and general enthusiasts of speculative fiction and those with interest in Nordic fiction; film and television studies; literary, culture or media studies; comparative literature; and cultural history or art-based research"-- Provided by publisher |
