Many contemporary environmental risks and global environmental
changes occurring today are unprecedented in the history of human
life on earth. However, the images and narratives through which
humans relate to these phenomena are built on existing cultural
tropes and narrative models. Cultural, social, and historical
contexts strongly influence how we construct images and narratives
of nature and the environment. It is therefore highly important to
study such narratives in works of literature, film, and other forms
of cultural expression in relation to the specific circumstances
from which they arise. Nordic Narratives of Nature and the
Environment is the first English language anthology that presents
ecocritical research on northern European literatures and cultures.
The contributors examine specifically Nordic narratives of nature
and the environment, with a focus on the cultures and literatures
of the modern northern European countries Denmark, Finland, Norway,
and Sweden, including Sapmi, which is the land traditionally
inhabited by the indigenous Sami people. Covering northern European
literatures and cultures over a period of more than two centuries,
this anthology provides substantial insights into both old and new
narratives of nature and the environment as well as intertextual
relations, the variety of cultural traditions, and current
discourses connected to the Nordic environmental imagination. Case
studies relating to works of literature, film, and other media shed
new light on the role of culture, history and society in the
formation of narratives of nature and the environment, and offer a
comprehensive and multi-faceted overview of the most recent
ecocritical research in Scandinavian studies.
