In Crime and Fantasy in Scandinavia, Andrew Nestingen argues that the growth and visibility of popular culture have been at the heart of the development of heterogeneous ?publics? in Scandinavia, in opposition to the homogenizing influence of the post-World War II welfare state. Novels and films have mobilized readers and viewers, serving as a preeminent site for debates over individualism, collectivity, national homogeneity, gender, and transnational relations.Crime and Fantasy in Scandinavia provides insight into the changing nature of civil society in Scandinavia through the lens of popular culture. Nestingen develops his argument through the examination of genres where the central theme is individual transgression of societal norms: crime films and novels, melodramas, and fantasy fiction. Among the internationally known writers and filmmakers discussed are Henning Mankell, Aki Kaurismäki, Lukas Moodysson, and Lars von Trier. 410 0$aNew directions in Scandinavian studies. 606 $aScandinavian fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMotion pictures$zScandinavia 615 0$aScandinavian fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMotion pictures 676 $a839/.5 700 $aNestingen$b Andrew K$0881513 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911003685403321 996 $aCrime and fantasy in Scandinavia$94384350 997 $aUNINA
