Screening the Nordic City: The Politics of Place and Space in Contemporary Crime Series<\/em>
10 December: 18:00 \u2013 20: 00
Salong 1, Panora
For many people outside Northern Europe, what they know about Malm\u00f6 comes what they see on their television screens. The worldwide success of the Swedish-Danish crime drama Bron|Broen<\/em> has come to serve as the main source of information about Sweden\u2019s \u2018southern capital\u2019. Professor Robert A Saunders (State University of New York) will speak about his research on the imagining of Malm\u00f6 via the series, and how other internationally-successful Nordic noir series such as the Bordertown<\/em> (set in Lappeenranta, Finland) and Dicte<\/em> (set in Aarhus, Denmark) shape international perspectives of Norden and its lived spaces. Focusing on various aspects of the \u2018city\u2019 \u2013 including history, economics, architecture, culture, etc. \u2013 his talk will critically assess the pros and cons of being seen as a zone of murder and mystery, regardless of the day-to-day realities of the typical Nordic city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussant: Annette Hill<\/a>, Professor of Media and Communication, Lund University. The actor Gabriel Flores Jair<\/a> will also take part in the conversation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
