Performative Histories, Foundational Fictions: Gender and Sexuality in Niskavuori Films

Performative Histories, Foundational Fictions: Gender and Sexuality in Niskavuori Films by Anu Koivunen
English | 2004 | ISBN: 9517465440 | 425 Pages | PDF | 4 MB

With these eloquent words, 􀀱ordic 􀀱ational Cinemas (1998) introduces the series of seven Niskavuori films (1938–1984) to an international readership. The quoted paragraphs – and the mere presence of these films in this particular context of packaging national cinemas into comparable products – suggest that the films in question enjoy a special status in their country of origin. What is more, the book’s description summarizes what in the Finnish context can be termed as the common sense of the Niskavuori films, pulling together several threads of their long-standing and continuing reception.
