- Title
Dark Borealism: Why Arctic Noir is the New Black.
- Authors
Toudoire-Surlapierre, Frédérique
- Abstract
The joint success of the stories of explorers in the Far North and the crime story, or Nordic Noir, gave rise to a new form of borealism that this article proposes to call Dark Borealism. The article explains what is black in Nordic Noir, and, more precisely, in Arctic Noir and aims to identify the modalities, functions and issues of this generic hybridization in examples of Nordic crime fiction by Peter Høeg and Monica Kristensen.
