Call for Papers / Submissions: The Nordics - Bergman, Lindberg, Fargo, Dragon Tattoo, etc.

Erich Kuerste​n

about 1 year ago

Acidemic’s next issue is themed ‘The Nordics’ – this encompasses everything from Ingmar Bergman through to THEY CALL HER ONE EYE, I AM CURIOUS (YELLOW), GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, THOR, as well as Nordic depictions in Hollywood, films dealing with the ‘murderous Viking’ gene in America, (FARGO, THE BAD SEED, WHITE OLEANDER), especially in Alaska and Minnesota, as well as the blondes or ‘Nordics’ in alien conspiracy theory (i.e. George Adamski). We want to delve into what makes them different, why now (Hollywood is abuzz), and what is it about the Northern-most points of the hemisphere that is so mysterious and inviting?

Submissions should be between 500-4000 words. Due by July 26, 2011. Submissions not necessarily pertaining to Nordics are welcome and will be considered.
