Transylvanian Location Aesthetics and Policies

Summary/Abstract: The deep relationship between real urban, rural and natural locations and cultural/fictional settings played an essential role in the European success of Scandinavian crime narratives. Since many of these ingredients are pervasive in media, film and tourism representations of Transylvania, we focus on two case studies of crime TV series set in locations identifiable as Transylvanian. We do this on order to test the extent to which 1) the pre-existing location aura is turned into production value in manners comparable to the Scandinavian case; 2) the Nordic Noir location aesthetics can be detected as a model, and is intentionally played upon. The article reconstructs the location and place vision of the producers of Valea Mutã/ Silent Valley (2016) and Hackerville (2018).
