Abstract:
References to the concept of evil can be found scattered throughout Agatha Christie’s novels. It is, however, rare to encounter this as a prevalent theme, especially in the novels which feature her private detectives Poirot, Marple and Tommy and Tuppence. It is my contention in this article that it is not until two of her late novels Endless Night (1967) and The Pale Horse (1961) that Christie foregrounds the issue of evil and concurrent themes of psychotic and obsessive love and desire. Of course, there are multiple examples of the intersections between love and evil, involving betrayal, trickery and duplicity throughout her work, but these are generally secondary to plot structure and, in the case of love, romantic and often neat endings. The article contends that a ‘new’ Christie starts to emerge late in her work, one who has, however obliquely still, begun to engage with evil as a fundamental question, post-WW2 and the Holocaust.

Abstract:
Objetivo: Agatha Christie é uma autora de sucesso mesmo 40 anos após sua morte, e sua obras seguem sendo publicadas e convertidas a outras mídias. A Ciência da Informação preocupa-se com as operações realizadas com as informações e documentos, sendo capaz de mapear as produções de uma área, especialmente através da Bibliometria. O objetivo desta pesquisa é, portanto, identificar as pesquisas brasileiras sobre Agatha Christie por meio de um mapeamento bibliométrico, a partir do currículo Lattes. Metodologia: Trate-se de pesquisa bibliográfica para levantar os conceitos, documental para coleta e bibliométrica para análise dos dados. Resultados: A produção é muito maior do que a constante em bases de dados como Web of Science, Scopus e SciELO, chegando a 195 trabalhos contra os três encontrados em tais bases. Conclusões: A pesquisa sobre Agatha Christie no Brasil encontra-se em consolidação, sendo realizada em nível de graduação e pós-graduação, mas que falta uma infraestrutura de pesquisa em termos de bases de dados para armazenar e recuperar informações das Humanidades.

Abstract:
The author analyzes literary allusions in detective novels by Agatha Christie. For the first time, allusions to the works of W. Shakespeare, C. Dickens, P. G. Wodehouse, G. K. Chesterton are considered in detail. Many allusions are established for the first time. As a material for writing this article, a large number of novels were used, among which there are also rarely considered texts of the English writer. The meaning of allusions to "Twelfth Night" in the novel "The Sad Cypress" is revealed in detail, to the works of Wodehouse – in the novel "Why not Evans?" In the article, in the context of the studied problem, the features of escapism of the detective genre are considered. Based on the consideration of examples from a number of novels by Agatha Christie, conclusions are drawn about the significance of literary allusions in her novels in general and in specific works in particular. Allusions expand the semantic field of novels, allow Agatha Christie to go beyond the detective story, limited by the principles of formulaic literature, to consider psychological problems, to portray ambiguous characters in the spirit of classical English literature. At the same time, with the help of a significant number of allusions emphasized by the author, the literary nature of what is happening in detective novels is brought to the fore, which largely corresponds to the escapist nature of this genre.

Abstract:
The author examines the motive of innocence in the detective novels of Agatha Christie. This motive is being analyzed in detail for the first time. The conceptual basis of the research was the works of W. H. Auden, G. K. Chesterton, D. Cavelty, D. Sayers devoted to the genre of detective literature. Using the example of many novels, the article traces the relationship between the motives of guilt, innocence, paradise lost and others. The motive of love is considered as a motive, in many ways the opposite of the motive of guilt. Special attention is paid in the article to the novel "The Trial of Innocence", on the example of which the motive of innocence and its significance in the motivic structure are revealed. Based on numerous examples, the article shows that the search for truth in Agatha Christie's detectives is essentially equivalent to the defense of innocence. The motive of innocence in Agatha Christie's novels is of great importance and is closely related to the motives of guilt, retribution, justice, good and evil, paradise, trust, and personality formation. The article shows that it is the protection of innocent characters (both victims of crime and those unjustly accused) that is the primary task for those who conduct the investigation. This is due to the idea inherent in the detective genre of restoring the original harmony destroyed as a result of the crime.

Abstract:
British author Agatha Christie, who is one of the best-selling novelists in world literature, is the pioneering figure of detective fiction. Christie, the queen of mystery, wrote about eighty novels during her life. A great number of the author’s books were also adapted into movies. Viewed as one of Agatha Christie's most noteworthy accomplishments, the novel Murder on the Orient Express was released in 1934. It is highly believed that Agatha Christie wrote this novel during her long stays in Istanbul. The story is about a Belgian detective investigating a crime that occurred on the train. In Murder on the Orient Express many places and locations related to Turkey are mentioned. These are the Sainte Sophie (Hagia Sophia), the Orient Express, the Taurus Express, Nissibin, the Cilician Gates, Istanbul, Konya, The Bosporus, the Galata Bridge, The Tokatlian Hotel, Smyrna, Taurus and Hayda-passar. The novel starts with the completion of Hercule Poirot's investigation in Syria at the Aleppo train station. Poirot goes to Istanbul via the Taurus Express, where he wants to take the Orient Express to London. In fact, Poirot wants to make a few days’ holiday in Istanbul and visit Hagia Sophia.

Abstract:
This article aims to analyze how Agatha Christie’s character Hercule Poirot is feminized through several aspects, namely his appearance and character, his age and recurring cat symbolism. All the aspects and their examples were collected from Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot stories employing close reading as a method. By the use of several academic papers focused mainly on the topic of gender stereotypes in connection to the presented examples from Agatha Christie’s works, the central argument is that the character of the male detective Hercule Poirot is strongly feminized. Although this theory is already widely accepted, this article focuses on its less frequently discussed aspects, namely cat symbolism and age-related feminization.

Abstract:
Amaç: Bu araştırmada Batı ve Türk edebiyatından polisiye eserlerde ölüm nedeni olarak zehir ya da yüksek doz ilaç kullanımının karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Polisiye roman örnekleri olarak Agatha Christie ve Ahmet Ümit’in eserleri incelendi. Cinayet silahı ve ölüm nedeni olarak zehir ya da yüksek doz ilaç kullanımı olup olmadığı, varsa bu ilaç ve maddelerin özellikleri ile zehirlenme bulgularının eser içerisinde veriliş şekli karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Agatha Christie romanlarında çeşitli zehir ve ilaçların, kurbanın yemeğine ya da içeceğine karıştırılarak verildiği görülmektedir. Kurbanların ölüm nedenleri “Şampanyadaki Zehir”, “On Küçük Zenci”, “Ve Ayna Kırıldı”da siyanür; “Koltuktaki Ölü”, “Sonunda Ölüm Geldi” romanlarında morfindir. Agatha Christie’nin diğer romanlarında striknin, taksin, talyum, fosfor, arsenik, baldıran otu, yüksük otu, güzel avrat otu ile barbitürik asit içeren bir ilaç cinayet silahı olarak kullanılmıştır. Ahmet Ümit romanlarında ise kurbanı öldüren zehir terkipleri yerine bıçak, tabanca gibi cinayet silahları karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Öte yandan Ahmet Ümit’in “İstanbul Hatırası” romanında kurbanların öldürülmeden önce kısa etkili bir anestezik olan propofol ile, “Kırlangıç Çığlığı”nda ise nöromüsküler blokerlerden mivaküryum ile etkisiz hale getirildikleri görülmektedir. “Sultanı Öldürmek” romanında ana tema Fatih Sultan Mehmet’in afyon veya benzeri bir madde ile zehirlenerek öldürülmüş olabileceği iken bu romanda da cinayet silahı bir mektup açacağıdır. Sonuçlar: Zehir ve yüksek doz ilacın cinayet silahı olarak kullanımı Agatha Christie eserlerinde dikkat çekici olarak karşımıza çıkmakta iken Ahmet Ümit’in sayılı romanında kısa süreli olarak bazı ilaçların kullanıldığına dair ifadelere rastlanmıştır. Zehirle öldürmek, Osmanlı tarihinde gizemli bir konu olsa da, Türk toplumsal suç anlayışı açısından yabancı bir unsur olarak yorumlanabilir.

Abstract:
Critical anthropological theory needs to be a theory of relationality. Only through a relational theory can we come to a perception of our fundamental commonality and conceptualise difference as being given significance by the unequal relations that we stand in towards each other. A relational theory needs concepts that reflect on the asymmetrical interdependence that shapes the dynamics of power relations, which give rise to institutions of ‘significant difference’. I propose Luc Boltanski’s notion of ‘situation’ as a concept that enables us to grasp the structured contingency that shapes our mutual interdependence. Situation, by making possible the micro-analysis of macro-relations, also provides the conceptual tools to think beyond that which is, towards that which is possible.

Abstract:
The article deals with the concept of “vigilante justice”. The authors analyze the creative works of Agatha Christie to find out the ways of the representation of this concept. They use the linguistic hermeneutic method of interpretation based on the three-leveled system of comprehension which was worked out by Prof. Bogin. The main objective of this method is discovering of metaconcepts because only by understanding them a reader can reach the level of deep meanings of the text. Using this method, the authors discover the artistic details which contain symbols referring the concept of “vigilante justice”. Moreover, with the help of metaconcepts represented in the novels they try to find out the deep inner meaning decoded by Agatha Christie in her creative works.

"Narratemes in Agatha Christie’s Poirot Novels. In this paper, Agatha Christie’s selected Poirot novels are examined for recurring narratemes, limited, for the purposes of this research, to actions and results of actions as important constituents of the plot. As point of departure, Propp’s narratemes, structural elements of Russian folktales are referred to. Then, ten recurrent narratemes are identified in twenty-two Poirot novels and their functionality is established. The need of further research on this topic is articulated. It is likely that more narratemes be recognised and localised and thus they broaden our knowledge about the componential aspects of Christie’s work.

The article is devoted to analysing the role of hypotext of a children’s finger-play in Agatha Christie’s detective novel. Methods of hermeneutics and comparative analysis are applied to study levels of detail, motif, image system and structure. The researcher makes a conclusion that Agatha Christie continued trying new models of using folklore hypotext based on its peculiar features (such as verbal and kinetic components of a folklore game). The motif of a number five manifested in the title organises the text and gives an attentive reader a chance to solve the case. According to the researcher, the composition of "Five Little Pigs" is determined by a detective formula as well as the rules of the finger-play used as a hypotext.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan makna denotatif dan konotatif dari tanda-tanda yang terdapat pada sampul buku Five Little Pigs karya Agatha Christie. Untuk itu, pendekatan kualitatif digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Data dikumpulkan dari interpretasi teks dan gambar pada sampul buku, didukung oleh jurnal untuk dianalisis. Selanjutnya, teori Barthes tentang hubungan antara penanda dan petanda yang disebut “staggered systems” diterapkan dalam kasus ini. Menurut Barthes, dua tingkatan itu adalah denotasi dan konotasi. Konotasi didefinisikan sebagai makna yang dikaitkan dengan gambar di luar tingkat denotasi yang jelas, sedangkan denotasi didefinisikan sebagai tingkat makna pertama dan paling sederhana dari sebuah gambar. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan makna konotatif tanda melalui teks dan gambar yang terdapat pada sampul buku Five Little Pigs karya Agatha Christie versi penerbit William Morrow Paperbacks tahun 2011. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa (1) Beberapa teks dan gambar sebagai tanda mengandung makna konotatif dan denotatif dalam merujuk pada objek tertentu, (2) makna konotatif dari tanda yang dimetaforakan melalui makna denotatif, dan (3) tanda visual lebih banyak atau dominan dibandingkan tanda verbal.

Abstract:
The Royal College of Psychiatrists is in the last year of its ‘Changing Minds' campaign to reduce the stigma of having schizophrenia, substance use problems, dementia, eating disorders, anxiety and depression. As a mental health service user with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, I have been involved in the campaign since its outset and have become used to blaming the media, especially the tabloid press, for a large part of the stigma that people with mental health problems encounter. However, recently while in hospital I re-read an Agatha Christie book and began to wonder whether crime novels, with their usual starting point of a murder, could actually contribute as much to such stigmatisation. As Agatha Christie was probably the most prolific crime writer in the English language, this article examines some of her novels with a view to discovering the extent to which she played a part in the perception of the ‘mad’ killer.

Abstract:
The ‘golden age’ of clue-puzzle detective fiction is usually considered to end in 1939 with the outbreak of the Second World War. Yet Agatha Christie, the most high-profile and successful exponent of the form, continued to produce bestselling novels until her death in 1976. This essay examines three novels from the immediate postwar period to consider how she adapted her writing to negotiate a changing world and evolving fashions in genre fiction. Engaging with grief, demobilisation, gender, citizenship and the new fears of the atomic age, Christie proves unexpectedly attentive to the anxieties of a new modernity.

P. D. James is the successor to Agatha Christie as the queen of contemporary crime fiction. She is also a writer whose work is imbued with deep Christian convictions. Her novels are concerned to declare not merely who “done” it, but also why. She probes human motives with an unusually keen eye for the mystery of iniquity, especially the desire to murder in the name of good. James's novels also wrestle with the very largest moral and social questions, and her fiction suggests answers that are deeply incarnational.

Abstract:
According to statistical data, homicides, and other criminal offences in family circles rank first on the list. It applies primarily to the murders of spouses and partners. Also, in Agatha Christie’s novels the percentage of such crimes is very high. Out of 66 of her original novels, as many as 38 concern crimes committed by family members or household members as a main topic and in 15 of them it is a murder committed by a spouse. The motives of such crimes vary, i.e. greed, jealousy, hatred, love for another person or even love for a partner. Their victims are particularly defenceless: they do not expect an attack from those closest to them. Christie shows how over-trust in another person, gullibility, naivety, but also over-confidence, selfishness, and a belief in one’s own uniqueness can lead to a catastrophe.

Abstract:
This article examines the ways in which Agatha Christie's fictional villages may be interpreted as fundamentally gothic spaces. It makes the case that within the novels The Murder at the Vicarage (1930) and The Moving Finger (1943), outdoor spaces do not offer the potential release from captivity that is set out in more traditional gothic paradigms. Instead, exterior landscapes surrounding and connecting homes function as a continuation of domestic interiority, thus acting as able accomplices in a gothic transformation of ‘home’ into ‘prison’. By examining the shifting meanings of panoptic surveillance present within these villages, and the outward extension of private family romances into more public forms of cruelty and humiliation, this article suggests that far from creating idyllic exemplars of English rurality, Christie's fictional villages work to unmask the dark, ‘unhomely’ core that lies buried at the very heart of the English ‘Home Counties’.

Abstract:
Kevin Burton Smith in his article ‘Murder on the Menu’ (2010), comments, “right from the start there’s been a curious link between food (and drink) and crime fiction.” Despite the fact that culinary mystery novels arose as a subgenre of crime fiction in the late twentieth century, food has always been a part of crime fiction, and has played an important role in the early stories of Sherlock Holmes and Edgar Allan Poe. Food is frequently depicted as a source of stability and order in crime novels, establishing verisimilitude, creating a genuine world, a world as we know it. Agatha Christie, too, has included significant reference to food, eating habits and food rituals throughout her detective stories, using it as a tool to create a feminine and domestic space. This paper will analyse how Christie has used the depiction of food as a tool to further the narrative, portraying it in her novels as a calming ritual and a clue to the murder. However, food in Christie’s stories can also gain a more sinister undertone, and this paper will also analyse this, focusing on how Christie transforms food into a murder weapon itself, as a bad omen indicating events, thereby, blending reality with the storyline and lending vivacity to her characters and her plots.

Abstract:
The paper discusses Jacques Lacan’s discourse of the other, relevant to the authority of societal influence and the creation of a person’s ego and alter egos. Inthis theory Lacan refers to the little others (i. e. the ego and alter egos) and the big Others (i. e. points of authority, societal expectations, and cultural norms). Studying one’s psychological makeup and development is a process that can be quite invasive and lengthy. However, there is a genre of literature that focuses directly on authors’ personal and introspective views of their own lives. Autobiographies are books in which authors write about their own personal experiences. They can include information about a person’s childhood, their upbringing, the beginning of their career path, or any other life periods they deem notable enough. Thus the paper will look at Agatha Christie’s autobiography from the perspective of Lacanian ideas. Christie’s childhood is an exceptional example of how Lacan’s theories explain children’s desires and how they are shaped by the environment and authority figures around them. Christie would not have begun reading books well before her mother wanted her to if Nursie had not begun reading her stories. Likewise, she probably would not have been interested in doing math problems atsuch a young age if her wealthy father had not given her such positive feedback over her desire to learn academics as a young girl. The developments of Christie are unique to her own environment and situation; and there are many other people who have developed in other ways due to the authority figures around them. In the future, Lacan scholars may want to look at more autobiographies to see if the discourse of the Other presents itself.
