Fångarna

Fångarna is a Swedish term meaning "the prisoners." In Swedish-language media, Fångarna is used as a title for multiple distinct works rather than referring to a single canonical piece. Because the same title can apply to different works, identifying the exact reference requires disambiguation by medium (such as novel, film, television, or stage) and by release year or author.

Works bearing the title typically revolve around themes of confinement, captivity, or escape, but the treatment and narrative approach vary widely with the creator and format. Because Fångarna is not unique to one work, readers or researchers are advised to supply additional identifying information when seeking information about a specific piece.

When searching for or cataloging, entries usually distinguish among uses with parenthetical qualifiers, for example Fångarna (novel, year) or Fångarna (film, year). The term can also appear as part of longer titles, in which case the longer phrase provides the needed disambiguation. A related but distinct title is Fångarna på fortet, a separate Swedish game show that incorporates the same root word but is a separate work.
