Abstract This article is an ecocritical reading of the Swedish television series Jordskott. I discuss the effects in the series produced by the combination of the Nordic Noir's style and narrative techniques with elements of other genres, especially Gothic horror. I argue that through the contemporary reworking of the centuries-old Nordic mythology, Jordskott demonstrates how the aggressive powers of nature in Gothic narratives can no more be conventionally explained by referring to the pagan, pre-Christian beliefs, but need to be reconceived in light of the relentless environmental devastation brought about by humankind. The link unveiled between natural ecology and cultural mythology allows the series to surpass the limitations of the regionally informed folkloric story and to evolve into an ecological cautionary tale of global significance.

瑞典电视连续剧Jordskott中邪恶森林的转变

摘要本文是对瑞典电视连续剧Jordskott的生态批判性阅读。我讨论了将北欧黑人的风格和叙事技巧与其他流派(尤其是哥特式恐怖)结合在一起所产生的效果。我认为,通过对百年历史的北欧神话进行的当代改造,约尔德斯科特证明了哥特式叙事中自然的侵略性无法再通过引用异教徒,基督教前的信仰进行传统的解释,而是需要重新理解人类带来的无情环境破坏。自然生态学与文化神话之间的联系使该系列作品超越了地区性民间故事的局限性,并发展成为具有全球意义的生态警示故事。
