Producers, Distributors and Audiences of European Crime Narratives Preliminary Programme (Version 29 August 2019) Producers, distributors and audiences of European crime narratives 2019 Conference Aalborg University September 30 – October 2 Venue: Kroghstræde 3, Aalborg 1 What is DETECt? The research project DETECt – Detecting Transcultural Identity in Euro- pean Popular Crime Narratives (2018-21) – addresses the formation of Eu- ropean cultural identity as a continuing process of transformation fos- tered by the mobility of people, products and representations across the continent. Because of the extraordinary mobility of its products, popular culture plays a decisive role in circulating representations that constitute a shared cultural asset for large sectors of the European society. The project examines examples of crime fiction, film and TV dramas from 1989 to present, to learn how mobility strategies such as co-production, serialization, translation, adaptation, distribution, and more, have influ- enced the transnational dissemination of European popular culture. It also investigates how the treatment of specific ‘mobile signifiers’— including representation of gender, ethnic and class identities — affect the ability of European narratives to migrate outside their place of origin, and be appropriated elsewhere in different and variegated ways. Researching the contemporary history of the crime genre in Europe, DETECt aims to iden- tify the practices of production, distribution and consumption that are best suited to facilitate the emergence of engaging representations of Europe’s enormously rich, plural and cross-cultural identity. The knowledge acquired through a detailed research programme will be used in cultural, learning and public engagement initiatives designed to prompt the elaboration of new transnational formats for the European creative industries. These activities will profit from a set of experimental research and learning resources and innovative collaborative tools, aggre- gated and organized on DETECt Web portal.

They are pursued by Taneli Lokka, an experienced police detective, who tries to save the earth in his own personal way. Try as he might, Jim can't escape the bloodshed. Weird things you will notice: Even though the Finns are considered Scandinavian, the language sounds nothing like the others. To a lot of people in the world, the Nordic landscape and nature is very exotic, with the cold dark winters and the summers with the midnight sun and things like that. Votes: 19, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The first three books were penned by Stieg Larsson, and all subsequent works have been carried out by David Lagercrantz without input from Larsson. They have big parties for midsummer the summer solstice. This debut novel written by the creator of the television show The Killing follows the case of a psychopath terrorizing Copenhagen. Kurt and his men tries to find the connection between a horrible murder taken place in Ystad and the kidnapping of one in the police force daughter. Let's get started! It's no surprise: the story is captivating, it's beautifully shot, and it's very skillfully led by Ville Virtanen as quirky, Sherlock-like detective Kari Sorjonen. I already mentioned the Stockholm walking tours focused on the Millennium series, but the interest doesn't stop there. The books work independently of each other, but if you jump ahead too much there are some spoilers.

  • The Geopolitics of Nordic Television Drama
    NORDICOM REVIEW Introduction Dark Screens: The geopolitics of Nordic television drama Pei-Sze Chow,I Robert A. Saunders,II & Anne Marit WaadeI I Media & Journalism, School of Communication and Culture, Aarhus University, Denmark II Department of History, Politics and Geography, Farmingdale State College (SUNY), USA This special collection of articles emerged from a two-day workshop on the topic “Nor- dic Noir, Geopolitics, and the North” held at Aarhus University, Denmark, 4–5 October 2018. Recognising the unabating popularity of the Nordic Noir genre, the workshop sought to extend current media-cultural discussions of Nordic crime television drama to critically assess how topical geopolitical developments both influence and are inter- rogated within these fictional narratives. The genesis of this workshop arose from the intersections between the research interests of this special issue’s three editors, building on Anne Marit Waade’s work on the production, aesthetics, and distribution of Nordic Noir television drama, Pei-Sze Chow’s research on the audiovisual representations of transnational regions in Scandinavia, and Robert A. Saunders’s scholarship on the popu- lar culture-world politics continuum, and more specifically his typology of geopolitical television. Over two days of presentations and discussions, participants worked to bridge the gap between diverse but cognate disciplines such as Scandinavian studies, film and television, literature, geography, and international relations (IR). Generously supported by the pan-Nordic research consortium ReNEW (Reimagin- ing Norden in an Evolving World), which is funded by NordForsk through the Nordic University Hubs initiative, our workshop brought together 21 researchers from across Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Poland, the US, and the UK.

Walking in (a) Bordertown: Sorjonen, Liminality, and the Spatial Imaginary of... 1 Walking in (a) Bordertown: Sorjonen, Liminality, and the Spatial Imaginary of Lappeenranta Robert A. Saunders 1 While Nordic noir television – a screened genre that evolved from the crime-based literary tradition of Scandinavian noir – is primarily defined by Danish and Swedish offerings such as The Killing (DR1, 2007-2012) and Wallander (TV4, 2005-2013), Finnish programming is increasingly finding success beyond the country’s borders through the transnational digital distribution platforms. Sorjonen (Yle, 2016- ) – or as it is known internationally, Bordertown – is perhaps the best example of this trend, having been distributed with subtitles in multiple languages via Netflix. Set in the idyllic lakeside resort of Lappeenranta, Bordertown centres on Detective Inspector Kari Sorjonen (Ville Virtanen) following his relocation there in the wake of his wife’s illness.

  • Shadow Kingdom: Lotharingia and the Frankish World, C.850-C.1050 1. Introduction Like Any Family, the Carolingian Dynasty Which
    1 Shadow Kingdom: Lotharingia and the Frankish World, c.850-c.1050 1. Introduction Like any family, the Carolingian dynasty which ruled continental Western Europe from the mid-eighth century until the end of the ninth had its black sheep. Lothar II (855-69) was perhaps the most tragic example. A great-grandson of the famous emperor Charlemagne, he belonged to a populous generation of the family which ruled the Frankish empire after it was divided into three kingdoms – east, west and middle – by the Treaty of Verdun in 843. In 855 Lothar inherited the northern third of the Middle Kingdom, roughly comprising territories between the Meuse and the Rhine, and seemed well placed to establish himself as a father to the next generation of Carolingians. But his line was not to prosper. Early in his reign he had married a noblewoman called Theutberga in order to make an alliance with her family, but a few childless years later attempted to divorce her in order to marry a former lover called Waldrada by whom he already had a son. This was to be Lothar’s downfall, as his uncles Charles the Bald and Louis the German, kings respectively of west and east Francia, enlisted the help of Pope Nicholas I in order to keep him married and childless, and thus render his kingdom vulnerable to their ambitions.
