Ecology and Contemporary Nordic Cinemas (eBook, ePUB)

From Nation-building to Ecocosmopolitanism

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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.
