Abstract In this article, I discuss the geopolitical underpinnings of Russophone fans’ response to the Norwegian hit teen series Skam [Shame]. Starting from the wide-spread distribution of Skam through informal horizontal networks, my article highlights the context specificity of fan participation in meaning-making around global television. Employing multimodal discourse analysis to the social media platform VKontakte, I examine how Russophone audiences of global television imagine the country of origin of their object of fandom, and how spatial imaginations embedded in this process contribute to popular geopolitics of Norden – that is, to geopolitical reasoning of narratives and representations of Nordic countries available through popular culture. My analysis shows how Norway and its positioning in the world provides an important symbolic resource for further discussions on identity and belonging. A close examination of mediated transnational cultural exchange through fan communities advances our understanding of the meaning of popular geopolitics in the age of global television.

挪威重塑

摘要在本文中，我讨论了俄罗斯粉丝对挪威热播青少年电视连续剧《耻辱》（Skam）的回应的地缘政治基础。从Skam通过非正式的横向网络的广泛分布开始，我的文章重点介绍了粉丝参与全球电视的意义表达的具体背景。通过对社交媒体平台VKontakte进行多模式话语分析，我研究了全球电视的Russophone观众如何想象他们的狂热对象的起源国，以及在此过程中嵌入的空间想象力如何促进Norden的流行地缘政治-即地缘政治通过流行文化可获得北欧国家叙事和陈述的推理。我的分析表明，挪威及其在世界上的地位如何为进一步讨论身份和归属问题提供重要的象征资源。对通过粉丝社区进行的跨国文化交流的深入研究，提高了我们对全球电视时代流行的地缘政治含义的理解。
