| dc.description.abstract | Globalization and rapid development of technology influence all aspect of our everyday life. Self-identification process within a certain geographical space became an important issue for human geographers. This paper discovers interconnection of socially constructed concepts of identity and landscape with a focus on its dynamic nature. In addition, taking into consideration technological development and growth of globalization trends, the concept of screen cultures is being brought into theoretical framework. Nordic region being one of the most globally integrated and at the same time very locally oriented, offers unlimited opportunities for critical assessment of the landscapes and Nordic identity.
Through visual assessment and textual analysis, I elaborate on screen culture and Nordic identity through different dimensions of a landscape. Lifting up the discussion on the possibility of transmitting Nordic identity through the cinematic landscape, I base my analysis on three selected films (years 2015-2020) produced in Nordic region where certain landscapes represent key-themes of the identity narrative. Using Nordic communicative space, I unfold connections of certain landscapes patterns and main characters identity transformation.
The master thesis represents a comprehensive, contemporary study of Nordic identity through prism of cinematic landscapes, globalization and screen culture. | |
