Abstract

This Special Issue of the focuses on race and ethnicity in Nordic film and TV cultures. The decolonial turn has produced a global shift in the recognition of cinema’s historical relationship to imperialism, colonialism and racism, and emphasized the urgency of dismantling structural inequalities through new modes of engagement with minoritized artists and theorists, as well as Indigenous epistemological frameworks and pluriversal approaches – including critical race theory and its specific applications in a Nordic context. Consequently, these articles consider representational politics alongside interrelated concerns on practitioner agency and production contexts addressing equality and access in the media industries of these countries. The depth and historical range of the collection speaks to the need for an ongoing, critically reflective dialogue on these topics, especially as they remain significantly underrepresented in the field of Nordic media studies.
