Polar Bear in 'Fortitude'. Affective Aesthetics and Politics of Climate Change
2021
In the first season of the television Eco Noir crime series “Fortitude” (2015) the polar bear appears as a sticky object that embodies an ambiguous affective charge as an icon of global warming. This article discusses the ways in which the polar bear evokes viewer affect in the series through two discourses. The first one relates to violence, essentially present in crime narratives, and how the human and nonhuman animal are positioned in relation to global warming, violence and each other. It raises questions of place and belonging in a local and global context and examines how the polar bear is constructed in terms of stranger danger and victimization in relation to human animals and the t…

From Mobile Crimes to Crimes of Mobility
2020
Piipponen, Mäntymäki and Rodi-Risberg suggest that many contemporary crime narratives across the globe host a heightened interest in diverse and ambiguous mobilities, border crossings and borderlands. They propose that such mobilities and crossings reflect on recent sociocultural developments on local and global levels and communicate specific geopolitical anxieties. They position their own mobilities research perspective within existing crime fiction scholarship, especially within the so-called transnational and spatial turns. Introducing some key observations of mobilities research, they suggest that mobility can be considered both as an object of study in its own right and a critical len…
Sophie Hannah’s Hurting Distance as Crime Trauma Fiction
2020
Rodi-Risberg addresses trauma’s generic border-crossing movement through Sophie Hannah’s socially conscious crime thriller Hurting Distance (2007), a trauma narrative of sexual violence and emotional abuse that can be referred to as crime trauma fiction because it incorporates and blends features of both genres. Rodi-Risberg’s main argument is that crime trauma fiction such as Hannah’s novel represents traumatic experience as politically significant by mobilising affect through its themes of violence as social critique. The chapter concludes that contemporary narratives of crime and trauma such as Hannah’s should be seen as an important locus not only for representing traumatic experience, …
Yhteiskuntakuvaus Ian Rankinin romaanissa Black and Blue
2011
Tutkin työssäni Ian Rankinin dekkarin Black and Blue yhteiskuntakuvausta, jossa menetelmällisenä pohjana käytän kulttuurintutkimuksen eri teorioita. Tutkin miten yhteiskunta ja sen instituutiot näyttäytyvät romaanin luomassa maailmassa. Esittelen kirjan representoiman yhteiskunnan tyypillisiä edustajia sekä yksilöinä että ryhminä. Tutkin kirjan yhteiskuntakuvausta myös dekkarin konventionaalisten osien ilmenemisen mukaan, kuten rikos tapahtumana, uhri ja syyllinen henkilöinä ja tutkiva poliisi tapahtumien analysoijana. Black and Blue on modernin yhteiskuntakriittisen dekkarin edustaja, ja sen yhteiskuntakuvaus nousee dekkarin konventionaalisia osia tärkeämmäksi. Kertomuksen pääosassa ei enä…
