Title: Beyond the pastoral paradise: orienting black and Muslim people in British rural spaceAuthor: Farsooni, Lélia TavakoliArticle type: ArticleLanguage: English
Description: Interrogates the association between British rural life and whiteness in the popular imagination through an examination of three texts: the feature film 'Four Lions' (2010), the television crime drama 'Shetland' (2013-) and the documentary 'Arcadia' (2017). Considers the connection between British pastoralism and the concepts of Eden and Arcadia, and the perception of Muslim and Black bodies as belonging to urban spaces.
