[ecrea] Scandinavian fiction in film and television (PhD-course)

*Scandinavian fiction in film and television *(PhD-course: March, 12-14, 
2014. Place: University of Copenhagen)

Scandinavian fiction in film and television has experienced great 
success in recent years, not only in Scandinavia but also 
internationally. This course will focus on different aspects of 
Scandinavian fiction in film and television, present and historically. 
Among the issues covered are; defining aspects of small national 
cinemas, genres in Scandinavian fiction, the Scandinavian art film, 
television drama and the tradition of realism in fiction and documentary 
genres. The approaches presented will be historical, aesthetic and 
institutional and will include the study of production processes and 
forms of reception. However, other approaches to Scandinavian fiction 
and related issues are welcome. There will be lectures from invited 
speakers and the organizers, and there will be presentations by the 
participating PhD students. Invited speakers are: Andrew Higson 
(University of York), Claire Thomson (University College London) and Ib 
Bondebjerg (University of Copenhagen). Organizers: Eva Novrup Redvall 
and Birger Langkjær (both University of Copenhagen). Web address:
