Abstract:

This thesis examines Atwood's transformation of the crime genre, more particularly the whodunit and the spy thriller, in some of her longer fiction. Her protagonists are considered as detective figures needing to decipher experiences made mysterious to them by acceptance of hegemonic scripts. Discussion explores their discoveries that they are not only victims of the crime fabulae they unravel, but accessories, their complicity arising from an acculturation to ideologies of power, particularly those of patriarchy, class and colonialism. A gendered inflection of the crime narrative is also evid

Abstract:

One of the most striking features of contemporary Scottish fiction has been its shift from the predominantly realist novels of the 1960s and 1970s to an engagement with very different modes of writing, from the mixture of realism and visionary future satire in Alasdair Gray’s Lanark (1981) to the Rabelaisian absurdity and excess of Irvine Welsh’s Filth (1998). This development has received considerable critical attention, energising debates concerning how such writing relates to or challenges familiar tropes of identity and national culture. At the same time, however, there has been a very str

Magister Artium - MA<br>Bettina Wyngaard se misdaadfiksie-trilogie, bestaande uit die romans Vuilspel (2013), Slaafs (2016) en Jagter (2019) het ’n vernuwende uitwerking in die Afrikaanse literatuur gehad.

Abstract:

This thesis discusses contemporary Scottish crime fiction in light of its transatlantic contexts. It argues that, despite participating in a globalized popular genre, examples of Scottish crime fiction nevertheless meaningfully intervene in notions of Scottishness. The first chapter examines Scottish appropriations of the hard-boiled mode in the work of William McIlvanney, Ian Rankin, and Irvine Welsh, using their representation of traditional masculinity as an index for wider concerns about community, class, and violence. The second chapter examines examples of Scottish crime fiction that exp

Abstract:

This paper analyzes how vulnerability is represented in the Jack Reacher series, by drawing onwork by Bryan Turner and Judith Butler. The purpose of the research is to investigate the reasonReacher’s acts of vigilantism are needed. I look at examples of vulnerability and precarity foundin the books Killing Floor and Die Trying, and argue that state neglect is the cause of economicand social vulnerability in the towns Margrave and Yorke, leading to precarity expressed ascriminal money and community subjugation controlling the towns. I conclude that the solutionpresented, through vigilantism, is

Abstract:

This creative-based project discussed the potential of neon noir writing in Australia—a hardened style of crime fiction that investigates the dark underbelly of society. The craft-based research outlined how such fiction could be localised to examine our distinct history, culture, and politics. The associated creative work, a neon noir novel set in regional Queensland during the height of governmental corruption, was created in direct response to the discoveries of this research.
