| Summary: | If the Nordic imagination has existed in France for a long time, it is currently migrating and has become restricted to the extent that it is attracted by the poles. The aim of this article is to conduct an investigation in the French polar polar, to be interested in the articulation between borealism, Greenland and the very genre of criminal fiction. What are the issues of borealism when it takes the form of criminal fiction? What are the figures, the diagrams, the images, the archetypes, the narratives of the polar thrillers? What is this criminalization of the boreal imagination called? Or rather what symptoms and signs does it reveal? RésuméSi l’imaginaire nordique essaime en France depuis longtemps, il est actuellement en train de migrer et s’est boréalisé dans la mesure où il subit l’attirance des pôles. L’enjeu de cet article consiste à mener une enquête dans le polar polaire français, à s’intéresser à l’articulation entre le boréalisme, le Groenland et le genre même de la fiction criminelle. Quels sont les enjeux du boréalisme lorsqu’il prend la forme de la fiction criminelle ? Quelles sont les figures, les schémas, les images, archétypes, les trames narratives des polars polaires ? De quoi cette criminalisation de l’imaginaire boréal est-elle le nom ? Ou plutôt quels symptômes et quels signes révèle-t-elle ? Mots-clefs: boréalisme; Nordic noir; polar polaire; transfert culturel; exportation générique |
