ABSTRACT The Scandinavian middle classes have been trained in feeling guilty and shameful about their social and economical privileges as well as these privileges in combinations with gender and/or ethnicity. But “eco-guilt” or “eco-shame” has hardly been represented properly in cinema and TV series to this day. In this article, I want to offer a kind of prediction, rather than a description, of what may be an upcoming major theme in Scandinavian visual narratives: eco-guilt and eco-shame. I see signs of this in the recent TV series Jordskott from Sweden, the Norwegian Okkupert and the Danish Bedrag, but my point will be that the ecological issues here are used as a useful background or a dramaturgical starting point rather than as a major theme: as pretexts, in the double sense of the word. The use of ecology as pretext in Scandinavian TV series will be the subject of this article where I intend to focus on the way that the question of eco-guilt seems to be an alluring and tempting as well as repressed thematic, a fact that can be read out of the three series’ paradoxical opening sequences.

生态为借口？生态主题在当代斯堪的纳维亚优质电视中的悖论存在

摘要斯堪的纳维亚的中产阶级已经接受了关于他们的社会和经济特权以及这些特权与性别和/或种族相结合的内和羞辱的培训。但是迄今为止，“生态罪恶感”或“生态羞耻感”在电影和电视连续剧中还没有得到适当的体现。在本文中，我想对斯堪的纳维亚视觉叙事中即将出现的主要主题：生态罪恶和生态耻辱提供一种预测，而不是描述。我在最近来自瑞典的电视连续剧Jordskott，挪威的Okkupert和丹麦的Bedrag中看到了这种迹象，但我的观点是，这里的生态问题被用作有用的背景或戏剧性的起点，而不是主要主题：作为借口，在这个词的双重意义上。
