In this article, we argue that Norwegian climate change fiction and related works draw on elements that relate to specific national and/or Nordic cultural, societal and historical features, and that these elements give these works their distinct identity. We focus on four such features: (1) notions of “Nordicity”; (2) an (imagined) intimate connection between Norwegianness and nature, often seen as a typical element of Norwegian national identity; (3) references to Norwegian petroculture (since the Norwegian economy is largely based on the export of fossil fuels) , and (4) an atmosphere of gloom and melancholia in many of the works, which draws on a Nordic tradition of painting and literature, and which also often characterises the genre of Nordic noir.El cambio climático y medioambiental se han convertido en un tema frecuente en la literatura, televisión y cine contemporáneos noruego, siendo Noruega el primer país con una organización de escritores comprometidos con la acción climática (“The Norwegian Writers' Climate Campaign,” fundada en 2013). En este artículo argumentamos que las obras de ficción noruegas sobre el cambio climático se basan en aspectos culturales e históricos específicos de la nación y/o de la cultura nórdica, dándoles una identidad particular. Nos centramos principalmente en cuatro de estos aspectos: (1) nociones de “lo nórdico”; (2) una conexión íntima (imaginada) entre lo noruego y la naturaleza, y por lo tanto, lo que a menudo es visto como elementos típicos de la identidad nacional noruega; (3) referencias a la “petro-cultura” noruega (dado que la economía noruega se basa en gran medida en la exportación de combustibles fósiles) y (4) una atmósfera de penumbra y melancolía en muchas de las obras, basada en las tradiciones de pintura y literatura nórdicas, y por lo general, característica del género de cine negro nórdico.Universidad de Alcalá20202020-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501NAhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_be7fb7dd8ff6fe43info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10017/45478https://dx.doi.org/10.37536/ECOZONA.2020.11.2.3468reponame:e_Buah Biblioteca Digital Universidad de Alcaláinstname:Universidad de Alcalá (UAH)Inglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ebuah.uah.es:10017/454782026-06-18T11:13:07Z
