“This a marvelous update to the international Nordic Noir and Scandinavian police procedurals’ scholarship of recent years! Waade and Toft Hansen’s book covers important aspects of location studies, screen tourism and transnational co-productions pertaining to the Scandinavian peninsula and the audio-visual industries of Denmark, Norway and Sweden from where key Nordic noir films and television series enter the global circuit. Approaches to this rich body of work that were seen as emerging until recently now appropriately take a pivotal place.” (Olof Hedling, Associate Professor of Film Studies, Lund University, Sweden)<p></p><div><p>“This important book interrogates the concept of Nordic Noir to reveal the vital role of place in the formation of what is not so much a genre as a globally recognised brand.” (Sue Turnbull, University of Wollongong, Australia)</p> <p>“Locating Nordic Noir brings together the diverse fields of location, production, policy and genre studies to offer a meticulously researched and insightful perspective on Scandinavian television drama from the 1990s until now.” (Janet McCabe, Birkbeck University of London, UK)</p></div>
