Abstract:
Introdução: Quando se trata de literatura policial, a escritora inglesa Agatha Christie é considerada uma das romancistas mais bem sucedidas da história da literatura pelos seus inúmeros livros vendidos. Devido ao seu aprendizado recebido em hospitais durante a primeira e a segunda guerras mundiais, Agatha Christie adquiriu conhecimento sobre vários venenos que aparecem em suas obras. Em venenos e produtos químicos, é utilizado o sistema harmonizado de classificação e rotulagem de produtos químicos (GHS) para definir os seus perigos específicos. Objetivo: Apresentar uma proposta didática de como as histórias de Agatha Christie podem ser utilizadas no ensino do GHS. Material e métodos: Foi realizada um levantamento bibliográfico dos venenos que aparecem em obras de Agatha Christie. Os venenos foram triados a partir de uma busca informações sobre sua classificação no GHS no site PubChem. Baseado nas informações obtidas, foi desenvolvida uma proposta didática de ensino do GHS. Resultados: Das obras de Agatha Christie foram levantados 28 venenos diferentes, sendo triados 20 a partir da busca de informações sobre sua classificação no GHS pelo site PubChem. O ácido fórmico foi utilizado como modelo para apresentação de uma proposta didática de como um conto “A maldição dos Lemesurier” pode ser usado em sala de aula no ensino do GHS. Conclusões: As obras de Agatha Christie apresentam diversos tipos de venenos que podem ser utilizados como recurso didático no ensino do GHS. Novas pesquisas aplicando a proposta apresentada devem ser realizadas para discutir a proposta didática apresentada.

Abstract:
En este artículo se analizan, de forma micro y macro estructural, dos modelos de traducciones pertenecientes a un mismo período histórico, y publicadas por la misma editorial. El enfoque principal del análisis son las representaciones escritas del discurso oral de los personajes de Agatha Christie en las elecciones brasileñas, particularmente del registro utilizado en los diálogos. Los datos recopilados en el estudio muestran que los libros de Agatha Christie representan, claramente, intercambios culturales entre América Latina y Europa, fenómeno reiterado por otros investigadores del tema. Su trabajo traducido indica cómo la oralidad se ha abordado tanto a nivel nacional como a nivel internacional en las traducciones de Agatha Christie, dando pistas de cuáles son los elementos determinantes en Brasil. Las hesitaciones, exclusiones, elecciones y estrategias en estos dos textos representan opciones sistemáticas de la Ágatha Christie brasileña que, obviamente, reflejan consideraciones coloniales en términos de lenguas, así como en términos de géneros literarios.

Abstract:
This thesis provides the first extensive queer reading of a 'Golden Age' British detective fiction writer. The aim of this thesis is to assess queer potential in texts published by Agatha Christie between 1920 and 1952. Human identity can be read as self-consciously constructed in Christie's novels, which were written in a context of two world wars, advances in technology and communication, and what Michel Foucault called the 'medicalization' of Western culture. The self-conscious stereotyping in Christie's prose undermines her texts' conservative appeal to the status quo. Chapter One justifies this project's critique of identity essentialism in the texts by considering the manufacturing of 'Agatha Christie' as a widely-read celebrity author. Reading Christie's authorial identity as something established and refined through a market-driven response to readers' expectations and a conscious engagement with earlier forms of detective fiction provides space for reading identity itself as a stylized, performative, and sometimes parodic theme within the texts. In subsequent chapters, employing theoretical insights from Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Judith Butler, and Lee Edelman, I explore Christie's participation in contemporary debates surrounding masculinity, femininity, and the importance of the family in shaping individual identity. Finally, I consider Christie's reputation in the twenty-first century by exploring nostalgic television adaptations of her work. Comparing the presentation of 'queer' characters in the literary texts to the adaptations' use of explicit homosexual themes and characters, I conclude that there is a stronger potential for 'queering' identity in the former. As the first full queer reading of a 'Golden Age' detective novelist, this thesis expands queer notions of archive and canonicity: few scholars to date have considered mainstream literary texts without overt LGBTQ+ themes or characters from a queer perspective. Given Christie's global reach and appeal, locating queerness in her texts means understanding queerness as fundamental to everyday culture. This means engaging with a subversive potential in twentieth century middlebrow conservatism.

Abstract:
This essay is a gender analysis of some of the characters created by Agatha Christie. The aim is to investigate the occurrence of gender stereotypes and if traditional gender norms are challenged by men and/or women characters in Evil Under the Sun and The Body in the Library. Initially, there is an introduction to gender theories which includes the theorists Thomas Laqueur and Simone de Beauvoir among others. Laqueur presents the evolution of gender theories, specifically the two-sex model in which it was believed that sex is pervasive and thus the body rules the mind. Theories presented by him are vastly different from those of de Beauvoir who argues that the mind and body are separate. Other theorists which specifically deal with crime fiction and gender include Susan Rowland, who writes about the reformation of the detective and how the crime genre is gendered, and Gill Plain, who has been able to categorised Christie’s characters into three distinctive groups in which gender roles are clearly distinguishable. The conclusion reached is that male and female characters are portrayed both as adhering to gender roles, contemporary to the time at which the books were written, and as breaking them. However the outcomes and reactions differ depending on the character in question. Marple and Poirot appear to be well aware of the stereotypical way they are viewed and use it to appear less intimidating in order to hide their true nature as two sharp intellects.

Recherche, dont le point de départ fut: "Agatha Christie - an autobiography", puis un choix d'ouvrages représentatifs de l’œuvre de l'auteur, analyse: - l'usage fait par l'auteur du "je", le "dit" et le "non dit" - les rapports de l'auteur avec les differents membres de sa famille, sa vie durant, afin de cerner et de dégager a travers son oeuvre: * sa vision personnelle de la famille, son rejet de l'amour son rejet de la sexualité le rôle attribue a la fidélité conjugale * sa manière de hiérarchiser les differents protagonistes - le rôle des structures de la société telles que: mariage, justice. . . - la notion de "déterminisme" - la notion de "destin" dans la société anglo-saxonne de l'époque victorienne. - le "jeu littéraire" que constitue le roman policier: - les règles qui lui sont inhérentes - l'évolution de ce genre littéraire a travers l’œuvre christienne - les rapports "auteur-lecteurs", écho lointain des taquineries et témoignages d'amour des protagonistes de son dernier ouvrage "Postern of fate
The point of departure was agatha christie - an autobiography and then representative works from her oeuvre which were analysed along the following lines: - the author's use of i, what is systematically said and what is systematically omitted. - the author's relationships with the various members of her family which lead to her particular view of the family, her "rejection" of love and sexuality and the special emphasis put on marital fidelity. Her obsessive use of hierarchy throughout her work which reflects the importance and her perception of the hierarchy reigning in her family. - the role of societal structures such as marriage, justice, etc; - the notion of determinism. - the notion of destiny in the english society and the end of the victorian era. - some specific aspects of the detective story as a genre: its rules, the personal evolution it takes within agatha christie's oeuvre and her special author - reader relationship which is echoed in her last work, postern of fate

Full text
Abstract:
Y aurait-il un travail du mythe, comme un travail du rêve, dans le roman policier ? L’examen des oeuvres d’Agatha Christie et de Pierre Véry induit cette question : le mythe de l’enfance peut, en effet, être appréhendé comme un instrument de lecture critique permettant d’organiser les cosmos véryien et christien selon certains dynamismes, certains noyaux et réseaux de signifiance. Fondée tant sur la matière que sur la forme, la représentation de l’enfance oscille, chez ces deux auteurs, entre procédé et processus d’esthétisation. Notre thèse a pour objet de questionner la signification, la fonction et l’effet de cette variation en s’appuyant sur des éléments et des configurations mythiques
Is there, as well as a work on dream, a work on myth in detective stories? Reading Agatha Christie and Pierre Véry induces this question: the myth of children can be seen, indeed, as a key to review their novels, enabling us to organize their works of fiction according to a few dynamisms and links of meaning. Based not only on material but also on form, the depiction of childhood is torned between aesthetic method and aesthetic process in Very’s and Christies’s books. Our work aims at questioning the meaning, the function and the consequences of this variation thanks to the use of mythical items

Abstract:
Enid Blyton and Agatha Christie were the most successful British women writers of their time. Christie and Blyton were contemporaries, living and writing in the United Kingdom during the first half of the twentieth century. This study takes into consideration these similarities in its examination of the depiction of dominant discourses in relation to emergent, alternative and oppositional discourses in their writing. This thesis suggests that while Enid Blyton and Agatha Christie offer alternatives to the dominant patriarchal discourses of the British Empire in the first half of the twentieth century, they show allegiance, too, to the dominant discourses of their time. Specific consideration is given to the portrayal of discourses concerned with gender, feminism, classism, British colonialism, racism, and xenophobia in their writing. The work of Enid Blyton and Agatha Christie was extremely popular in their time and still is today. Their important contribution to popular literature in England in the early twentieth century justifies a study of a selection of their work in relation to detective fiction and children’s literature as well as to studies of social history that include the investigation of how dominant discourse is both endorsed and challenged.
