Abstract:
Le crime se retrouve dans toutes les formes de littératures, que ce soit le théâtre, le roman classique, le roman, l'essai philosophique, ou encore la littérature jeunesse, c'est un fait. Un dialogue s'opère entre ces deux entités. Il s'exprime au départ au travers du spectacle du châtiment public. La fin de la publicité de la sanction et le plébiscite des spectateurs précipitent l'avènement d'une première littérature du crime, didactiques, les littératures dites judiciaires, initiées par le pouvoir judiciaire lui-même. Au gré du temps, d'autres littératures, profanes, sensationnelles, relaten

Abstract:
Cette étude propose de s’intéresser à un genre littéraire mineur, le Newgate, regroupant des romans parus entre 1830 et 1847. L’objectif est de définir les modalités d’écriture qui sous-tendent les œuvres rassemblées sous cette étiquette non pas par consensus d’auteurs, mais par les critiques. À la croisée entre biographies et romance, les romans livrent des portraits de voleurs, meurtriers ou bandits de grand chemin. Dans la lignée du Newgate Calendar, ils connurent un vif succès auprès d’un public essentiellement populaire, mêlant faits divers, légendes du crime et fantasme d’une écriture po

Abstract:
Using the late twentieth-century French feminist notions of écriture féminine and the abject as a starting point, this article considers the various pitfalls, effects and ethical ramifications of representations of violence against the female body in South African crime fiction. How do authors reconcile the entertainment value of such representations with their aims to perform social analysis? This article attempts to answer this question by first describing how violence targeted at the female body is graphically portrayed, and, second, by assessing the effects of these visceral descriptions.

The second aim is to discuss how to implement the rather complex works of Graham Greene in the EFL classroom.

Abstract:
In the nineteen-eighties a host of female detectives appeared in crime fiction authored by women. Ostensibly these detectives challenged hegemonic norms, but the consensus of opinion was that their appropriation of male values and adherence to conventional generic closures colluded with a gender system of male privilege. Academic interest in the work of female authors featuring male detectives was limited. Yet it can be argued that these texts could have the potential to disrupt the hegemonic order through the introduction, whether deliberately, or inadvertently, of a female counterpoint to th

Crime fiction is an established and popular literary genre in South Africa that has gained international recognition and acclaim.

Recent texts, such as Elaine Proctor’s The Savage Hour and Karin Brynard’s Weeping Waters, quite deliberately set their respective murder mysteries on remote farms, and both novels particularise details of farm life.

Abstract:
This thesis examines how Chang-rae Lee's A Gesture Life (1999) represents the issues of war crimes. Writing the comfort women issue, Lee handles the bitter history of the Second World War in a postmodernist way. Against the modernist perspective on war history that draws on a simple and moral conclusion, Lee's writing underscores the function of narrative and the influence of trauma in the representation of the war crime. It offers a literary approach to the issue that complicates the role of the perpetrator and the victim, thus distances itself from the common understanding of war crimes. I a

Abstract:
Publicado em 1929, o romance Berlin Alexanderplatz de Alfred Döblin foi considerado, desde as primeiras resenhas, um marco na literatura alemã. Sua novidade residia, sobretudo, na utilização das técnicas da colagem e da montagem, por meio das quais os fragmentos recolhidos da metrópole foram inseridos no romance como sua própria matéria formal. Döblin tentou, com isso, deslocar o espaço concedido à metrópole, de objeto de representação a sujeito da enunciação. Essa dissertação analisa a composição formal de sua narrativa para compreender o que o novo espaço angariado pela metrópole, em Berlin

Esta tese traça um estudo comparativo entre o Romance policial contemporâneo e o discurso psicanalítico na produção ficcional de Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza (1936-) e Dennis Lehane (1963-), tomando, por base, relações de aproximação entre os métodos investigativos na literatura e na psicanálise. Para isso, o corpus constitui-se dos romances O silêncio da chuva (1996) e Espinosa sem saída (2006), ambos do escritor brasileiro e Sagrado [Sacred] (2004) e Paciente 67 [Shttter Island] (2005), do ficcionista norte-americano. A análise destas narrativas revela pontos de aproximação entre os dois discurs

Abstract:
The study examines the nature and functioning of genre in the commercial marketplace and the negotiations concerning genre labelling that a contemporary writer must undertake in relation to publishers’ decisions, reader expectations and critical responses. Part One assesses and theorises some problems of genre by means of an exploration of the terms ‘crime fiction’ and ‘literary fiction’. Focusing on the perceived conventions and boundaries of the two genres and some important sub-genres, it explores the extent to which such perceptions not only reinforce the notion of a divide between novels

Notre thèse est consacrée à l’étude des Mystères de Paris (1842-1843) d’Eugène Sue et des romans qui ont cherché à profiter de son succès. Ces « mystères urbains » font du ressassement une stratégie narrative fort développée : ils tentent de se différencier en répétant. Notre thèse met en lumière les modifications et les recontextualisations de clichés et de scénarios convenus pour fictionnaliser la grande ville en fonction d’une prise de conscience aiguë des nouvelles réalités, au premier rang desquelles la découverte du prolétariat, la fascination de la modernité et la peur de la criminalité

Abstract:
This thesis consists of two parts, each separate but linked by common themes and influences. The main part of the project is The Drop Room, a contemporary crime novel, which explores the manner in which fictions and narratives shape lives and govern behaviour and how they connect with the body - a theme that crosses over into the discourse of women crime writers and the relationship of their work with the body. The choice of a female pairing of investigators addresses a lacuna in the genre, while the emphasis on the personal in the lives of the women protagonists follows a strong trend in cont
