Incorporating a wide range of films, from international cult classics like \u003ci\u003eThey Call Her One Eye\u003c\/i\u003e (1974), homegrown martial arts films like \u003ci\u003eThe Ninja Mission\u003c\/i\u003e (1984) to contemporary crowd-sourced fan productions like \u003ci\u003eIron Sky\u003c\/i\u003e(2012), this volume examines the remarkable diversity of genre-based, commercially and culturally exploitative film production throughout the Nordic countries - emphasized here through the term 'Nordsploitation'.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis volume provides a historical exposition of largely ignored marginal films and film cultural patterns. It also outlines how influential these films have been in shaping the development of Nordic cinema. The effects are visible in the films of the new millennium as previously marginalized practices now enter the mainstream. With sharp insights and new research, \u003ci\u003eThe Politics of Nordsploitation\u003c\/i\u003e redefines the concept of 'exploitation' and its role in small nation cinemas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePietari Kääpä\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in Media and Communications at University of Warwick, UK.
