Set in a small town in the north of Finland, the crime TV series Ivalo (Arctic Circle, Finland, 2018) exemplifies the fascination of Nordic Noir with ‘remote’ locations as scenes of transnational crime.

The narrative emphasizes international connections while creating representations of places that can be characterized as both translocal (Greiner and Sakdapolrak 2013) and glocal (Robertson 2012). Because of its far northern location, the series can be described as an example of Arctic Noir. However, Ivalo breaks with traditional representations of both Lapland and the Russian border in Finnish audiovisual culture, striving towards a new cosmopolitan imagination. : Akademisk kvarter/Academic Quarter, Nr. 22 (2021): Glocality and Cosmopolitanism in European Crime Narratives Text Arctic Lapland DataCite Metadata Store (German National Library of Science and Technology) Arctic Ivalo ENVELOPE(27.543,27.543,68.651,68.651) |
