Resumo: A síntese deste trabalho é a ressignificação da detective fiction em Los detectives salvajes, de Roberto Bolaño. O ponto de partida são os vários textos do autor que têm a figura do detetive na intitulação, sendo esse apenas um dos vários aspectos que recorre na obra bolañiana. Entendendo que a enorme rede de relações que existe em seus textos é sugestiva de seu projeto literário, coerentemente será assumida uma visão transtextual para a análise da narrativa: através de textos críticos de Bolaño, de sua obra ficcional geral e do histórico da detective fiction, algumas interpretações serão traçadas para que se perceba de que forma novos sentidos deste gênero podem ser atribuídos a Los detectives salvajes. Para isso, será feita uma análise conjectural, num nível fragmentário, e nunca totalizante
Abstract: The synthesis of this work is the resignification of the detective fiction in Roberto Bolaño's Los detectives salvajes. The starting point is the various texts of the author that have the figure of the detective in the entitlement, being this aspect only one of the many others that resort in bolañian work. Understanding that the huge network of relationships that exist in his texts is suggestive of his literary project, it will coherently be assumed a transtextual vision for analyzing the narrative: through Bolaño's critical texts, his general fiction and the history of the detective fiction, some interpretations shall be outlined for the perception of how new meanings of this genre can be attributed to Los detectives salvajes. To achieve this aim, it will be assumed a conjectural analysis, in a fragmentary level, and never totalizing

Full textAbstract:
The thesis presents a qualitative research study on how police detectives experience, understand, and think about the process of doing serious and complex criminal investigations. The data was collected using a semi- structured, in-depth interview with a group of sixty-four experienced police investigators from Australia, New Zealand, various State Police Services in America and the FBI.
The empirical research methodology of phenomenography was employed to gather and analysis the interview transcripts for this group of detectives. The aim of this phenomenographic approach was to elicit the variation in the investigative experience both within individual detectives and between detectives in the group studied.
Upon analysis, the variation in this group of detectives' conceptions about doing a criminal investigation was captured in a set of four hierarchically ordered and qualitatively different categories of description. These four categories reflect particular cognitive styles or preferred ways of investigative thinking that experienced investigators rely upon throughout the investigative process.
The four 'Investigative Thinking Styles' start with the application of the 'Method' style of investigative thinking, through to the 'Challenge' style, and then onto the 'Skill' style, and finally up to and including the 'Risk' thinking style. These four styles constitute a theoretical model of investigation that has important practical implications for the recruitment, selection, and training of investigating officers as well as for the case management of investigations and the use of investigative teams for major crime investigations.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis explores the role of academic education in police professionalisation. Due to its high complexity, specialisation and status, detective work is well-suited for illustrating these developments and the practical and symbolic benefits they can bring to the police and policing as a whole. The overall approach of thesis is iterative. Literature from police studies and sociology of professions provides the conceptual and theoretical framework for the empirical data of 24 semi-structured interviews conducted with 14 police national training coordinators and local police trainers. The increasing academisation of police training and the formalisation of the police-academia relationships suggest police professionalisation has reached a tipping point. This is seen in the current investigative skills training in England and Wales, which is characterised by growing centralisation, standardisation, and emphasis on formalising the professional knowledgebase of investigations and policing – a trend which the Professionalising Investigation Programme exemplifies. While the police (including the investigative specialism) can be shown to display many of the qualities of professions, it has lacked the level of instructional abstraction characterising other professions, typically provided by higher education and, crucially, leading to externally recognised qualifications. Developing academic police education is not without its challenges, chief among them the perceived epistemological and cultural divide between the ‘two worlds’ of police and academia. A successful transformation requires careful consideration of the content and format of the arrangements, investment, support, acceptance and engagement from police, academia and government, and a simultaneous change to cultural dispositions (habitus) and internal and external structures (field). This is worth the effort as a number of practical and symbolic benefits of police academic education can be identified. It has the potential to improve the quality of service by deepening police knowledge and understanding and facilitating community-oriented approaches. More importantly, academic education bestows a rich cultural capital, strengthens and legitimises police expertise, market monopoly, and status in the eyes of the public, other professions and the government. It enables the survival of the profession, giving it the tools to prevail in conflicts over competence and the right to define and interpret policing and its social context. In summary, police professionalisation via academic education can be explained in terms of agency and structure both; as a deliberate occupational upgrading spurred by social and economic aspirations and aimed to reconceptualise and relegitimise policing; and as an inevitable reaction to wider changes and a deeper ontological shift taking place in the society.

Full textAbstract:
La novela Los detectives salvajes, publicada en noviembre del año 1998 es la obra de Roberto Bolaño sobre la que centraremos la investigación del presente informe. En este estudio se pretende leer esta novela desde los conceptos de “sujeto” y de “mediatización” a partir del análisis del tipo de sujeto que se configura en la obra de Bolaño y las relaciones de éste con el “poder” en la sociedad posmoderna. Nos situamos ante la obra de Bolaño como si ésta fuera un espejo contradictorio en el que nos vemos reflejados por personajes tan fascinantes en su caracterización que sólo reconoceríamos como sujetos novelescos pero que, en algunos momentos, viven experiencias tan cotidianas que bien podrían ser las propias. Este primer acercamiento a la variedad y complejidad de personajes que se movilizan entre el Distrito Federal de México y otros lugares geográficos en la novela, propicia la intención de leer esta obra desde el concepto de sujeto -tratando de desentrañar las particularidades de su construcción- y, a partir de su análisis, determinar su lugar en la novela actual.

Full textAbstract:
As a popular fiction hero Sherlock Holmes, embodies a mythical champion of enduring appeal, confirmed in his recent rebranding as defender of the oppressed for the twenty first century in a television series geared for the modern age. Stepping outside the boundaries of the law, he achieves an individualised form of justice superior to that of the judicial system in the eyes of his readers, yet, as I argue in this study, his long list of criminal offences places him firmly in the realms of criminality. This thesis explores the fictional discretionary lawbreaking of Sherlock Holmes and a range of contemporaneous maverick literary detectives and spies in popular literature produced between 1880 and the end of the First World War, including Martin Hewitt, Dick Donovan, Judith Lee, Hagar Stanley, Charles Carruthers and Arthur Davies, Richard Hannay and Bulldog Drummond. From Holmes to Hagar Stanley, the urban gypsy, my aim is to unearth the reasons for, the motivations behind and the implications of, the illegal behaviour of these fictional detectives. Charting the criminal liminality of amateur and professional detectives who manipulate justice on the mandatory authority of readers of popular fiction, I investigate the works in an interdisciplinary study that focuses on socio-cultural, historical, criminological and legal perspectives. In the light of a range of influences that created societal change, including the rise of professional society, evolving perceptions of crime, criminals and the law and the impact of societal shift from a religious to a secular morality, I engage with themes of gender, class and race revealing the discrimination and marginalisation endured by much of the population. My argument in this thesis counters the wholly Foucauldian view of D. A Miller in The Novel and the Police (1988) and Stephen Knight in Form and Ideology in Crime Fiction (1980), amongst others, who see the role of the fictional detective as embedding discipline, rational order and regulation in the reading public. Instead I argue that the behaviour of the literary detective represents a challenge to authority, which destabilises the status quo by shedding light on deep-rooted injustices at the heart of the judicial system. Each of the chapters in the study highlights aspects of the criminal justice system that run counter to the principles of justice, and traces the waning influence of morality on decision making as detectives mutate into spies near the turn of the century. My choice of texts from the works of eight authors in a combination of eighteen short story and novel works from popular culture, is based mostly on writers whose work featured in the pages of the popular (by popular I refer to authors who have published in magazines as well as in board collections) entertainment Strand Magazine in the course of their literary careers and who went on to achieve popular success, thus creating a shared connection and literary bond between the authors.

Full textAbstract:
Detective fiction highlights those qualities of masculinity that are most valuable to a contemporary culture. In mysteries a cultural context is more thoroughly revealed than in any other genre of literature. Through the crimes, an audience can understand not only the fears of a particular society but also the level of calumny that society assigns to a crime. As each generation has needed a particular set of qualities in its defense, so the detective has provided them. Through the detective's response to particular crimes, the reader can learn the delineation of forgivable and unforgivable acts. These detectives illustrate positive masculinity, proving that fiction has more uses than mere entertainment. In this paper, I trace four detectives, each from a different era. Sherlock Holmes lives to solve problems. His primary function is to solve a riddle. Lord Peter Wimsey takes on the moral question of why anyone should detect at all. His stories involve the difficulty of justifying putting oneself in the morally superior position of judge. The Mike Hammer stories treat the difficulty of dealing with criminals who use the law to protect themselves. They have perverted the protections of society, and Hammer must find a way to bring them to justice outside of the law. The Kate Martinelli stories focus more on the victims of crime than on the criminals. Martinelli discovers the motivations that draw a criminal toward a specific victim and explains what it is about certain victims that makes villains want to harm them. All of these detectives display the traditional traits of the Western male. They are hunters; they protect society as a whole. Yet each detective fulfills a certain cultural role that speaks to the specific problems of his or her era, proving that masculinity is a more fluid role than many have previously credited.

Full textAbstract:
Triple Threats: Young Female Detectives and the Crimes of Postfeminism examines the increasingly visible character of the amateur female sleuth in popular culture. I argue that, while a postfeminist media and political environment conditions this "chick dick's" existence, the chick dick also "talks back" to postfeminism, specifically to the postfeminist insistence that feminism has been successful and is no longer relevant or necessary. The chick dick thus "speaks feminism" in an environment that makes such a voice difficult to hear.I focus primarily on the aspects of these popular narratives that engage with the postfeminist notion that women and men are social equals. I demonstrate how the rhetoric of "choice" is used to depoliticize the conditions in which young women live, work, and study, individualizing their problems into matters of personal choice rather than political consequence. I examine how both social space and investigative technologies are gendered through concepts of risk and authority, and how such gendering works to uphold a patriarchal power dynamic that makes women vulnerable to a spectrum of sexualized violence. I deconstruct the concept of a "crisis in masculinity" to show how this trope legitimizes the exercise of an aggressive and violent masculinity on the bodies of female and feminized "others."
These popular narratives also illustrate the labour involved in embodying a postfeminist or "chick" femininity, affectively recounting how these female characters feel about the regimes of self-care and self-management they undertake daily, and how they respond to a "new traditionalist" model of womanhood that requires monogamy, marriage, and motherhood for female worth. I contextualize these stories within the cultural and industrial productive contexts to argue that the chick dick's feminist and proto-feminist undertones make her an unsuitable subject for mainstream, blockbuster filmmaking.
« La triple menace : jeunes inspectrices et les crimes de le postféminisme » examine la caractère plus en plus visible de l'inspectrice amateur dans la culture populaire. Considérant que le milieu du média et la politique dans le postféminisme conditionne l'existence de la « chick dick », elle réplique au postféminisme, plus particulièrement à l'insistance postféministe que le féminisme est un succès et qu'il n'est pas encore pertinent ou nécessaire. La « chick dick » parle ainsi le féminisme dans un milieu qui fait une telle voix difficile à entendre.
Je focalise sur les aspects de ces récits populaires que s'engagent avec la notion postféministe que les femmes et les hommes sont égales. Je démontre comment la rhétorique du « choix » est utilisée pour dépolitiser la condition de la vie, du travail et d'étude pour les femmes. Ces conditions individualisent leurs problèmes comme des affaires du choix personnel au lieu des conséquences politiques. J'examine comment l'espace sociale et aussi les technologies d'investigation sont basées sur le genre par les concepts du risque et l'autorité. Ça soutient une dynamique patriarcale du pouvoir qui fait les femmes vulnérables à plusieurs formes de la violence sexuelle. Je déconstruis l'idée d'une « crise de la masculinité » pour montrer comment ce trope justifier l'exercice d'une masculinité agressif et violent sur les corps des « autres »--femmes et féminisés.
Ces récits populaires illustrent aussi le travail d'incarner une féminité « chick » ou postféministe. Ils racontent affectivement comment ces femmes se sentent des régimes quotidiens de soin et d'administration de soi-même. En plus, les récits nous disent comment ces femmes répondent à un modèle de la vie de femme « nouveau traditionaliste » qui requise la monogamie, la mariage et la maternité pour valoriser les femmes. Je situe cette histoire dans le contexte de leur production culturelle et industrielle et je conclus que les currents féministes et proto-féministes de la « chick dick » la faisant un sujet inapte pour la cinétographie blockbuster.

Full textAbstract:
The primary objective of this M.A. thesis is to examine the portrayal of Switzerland and the role of the Swiss detective in the modern Swiss crime novel, with special focus on the works of three modern Swiss authors of different social status: Friedrich Glauser, Friedrich Durrenmatt and Hansjorg Schneider. While the crime novel is generally considered trivial entertainment for mass audiences within the realm of German literature, the case is somewhat different in Switzerland, a country with a small state mentality. The forthcoming analysis will demonstrate how these authors employ the crime novel as an educational device to convey a very important message to their fellow countrymen about the society in which they live. In their portrayal of Switzerland, the authors cover a wide range of circumstances relevant to their respective time periods, often dealing with controversial issues. Consequently, the Swiss detective plays a major role, as he must often solve difficult cases while faced with tremendous pressure from society. By focusing exclusively on Switzerland, this analysis will ultimately prove that the modern Swiss crime novel contains not only an entertainment aspect, but also important political, sociological and historical elements that distinguish the phenomenon from its international counterparts.

US retailers lose over $30 billion in merchandise annually. Merchants also suffer billions more in losses of cash, supplies, time, equipment, and growing civil liability costs. In order to control these losses, retail companies use a combination of people, programs, and systems. A review of the literature indicates specialised loss prevention employees are an important part of many asset protection programs.;A major interest of managers is improving the efficiency of their crime and loss control processes, including loss prevention store detective programs. Retail managers commonly use job performance reviews to gauge the individual efficacy of store detectives. In addition to job training, and job output supervision, research has indicated certain stable characteristics of individuals helps explain actual job performance, making pre-employment selection a critical part of process improvement. However, relatively little attention has been devoted to the selection of in-store detectives in the literature.;Qualitative research was used to identify critical job tasks in order to develop and validate a specialised job performance instrument. The preliminary research with subject matter experts indicated four distinct job roles of store detectives. This job analysis also resulted in a new job performance rating instrument later tested in the quantitative phase of the project.;Subsequently, a quantitative study of 201 US store detectives (using the performance instrument in a concurrent validity design) developed four distinct selection models designed to help explain role-specific job performance variance. Four hypothesis regarding the relationship between biographical data, personality traits, cognitive ability and the four measures of job performance were tested using multiple and logistic regression. The four resulting models explained between 13% and 23% of the variance in detective job performance measures.;Implications of the project's findings, and suggestions are also discussed in context t the current sample, as well as prior work in pre-employment selection research.

Esta dissertação propõe uma leitura crítica do romance Los detectives salvajes, publicado em 1998 pelo chileno Roberto Bolaño. Minha leitura investiga como o romance problematiza a tríade verdade - sentido - experiência através de um jogo com a opacidade que elide a sua linguagem (segundo alguns críticos) transparente. Para tanto, divido o trabalho em três momentos. No primeiro, analiso o cruzamento de vozes que o romance põe em cena, tomando-o como uma forma de dramatização da verdade. A partir do conceito de voz, que pauta essas reflexões, estabeleço também uma ponte para pensar a tensão com a poesia que o livro coloca, em uma abordagem que visa ultrapassar a mera exposição da tematização da vida desmesurada dos poetas. No segundo momento, indago a promessa de sentido que a narrativa faz: para além do uso do mistério e do enigma como motores da leitura, que é impulsionada pela iminência de uma revelação que não se produz, exploro suas consequências como procedimentos específicos de construção do sentido. No terceiro momento, pondero como, apesar de ser um relato associado ao fracasso ideológico de uma geração, Los detectives salvajes parece conservar ou criar um lugar para a esperança e para o acontecimento de experiências verdadeiramente autênticas, sob a forma de sobrevivências ou de intervalos. Tomando, portanto, as ideias de voz, sentido, verdade, centro, experiência, sujeito e enigma como caminhos, vias, o trabalho interroga as lições que o romance de Bolaño lega à literatura por vir.This dissertation offers a critical reading of the novel Los detectives salvajes, published in 1998 by Chilean author Roberto Bolaño. After having established the book\'s fragmentary structure as a starting ground, my reading proceeds to an analysis of the crossing of voices staged in the novel, taking it into account as a means of dramatization or questioning of the truth. Since this division of utterances is both fundamental and constitutive in Los detectives salvajes, being connected to issues of language and displacement, from it arise important ethical implications. These reflections were based on the concept of voice, from which it was also possible to establish a bridge for thinking of the tensions with poetry enacted by the novel, in an approach that sought to surpass the mere exposition of the thematization of poets\' unruly lives. Aside from this, the research also questions the promise of meaning developed by the narrative: beyond the use of mystery and enigmatic elements as stimuli for reading, that promote the idea of an imminent revelation never to be accomplished, I explore its consequences as specific procedures in the construction of meaning. I also hypothesize on how even though Los detectives selvajes is an account of ideological failure for a generation, it seems to create or maintain a place for hope and for authentic experience in the forms of survivals or intervals. There are specific occurrences in this research in which I establish comparisons with the canonical projects of Jorge Luis Borges and Julio Cortázar, in a sense, to measure the inclusion of Bolaño\'s novel in a Hispano-American history of literature.

Thesis, Högskolan i Gävle, Engelska, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hig:diva-32479.
Full textAbstract:
As the title suggests, this essay is a postmodern and autobiographical analysis of the three detectives in Paul Auster´s widely acclaimed 1987 novel The New York Trilogy. The focus of this study is centred on a comparison between the three detectives, but also on tracking when and why the detectives devolve into madness. Moreover, it links their descent into madness to the postmodern condition. In postmodernity with its’ incredulity toward Metanarratives’ lives are shaped by chance rather than by causality. In addition, the traditional reliable tools of analysis and reason widely associated with the well-known literary detectives in the era of enlightenment, such as Sherlock Holmes or Dupin, are of little use. All of this is also aggravated by an unforgiving and painful never-ending postmodern present that leaves the detectives with little chance to catch their breath, recover their balance or sanity while being overwhelmed by their disruptive postmodern objects. Consequently, the three detectives are essentially all humiliated and stripped bare of their professional and personal identities with catastrophic results. Hence, if the three detectives start out with a reasonable confidence in their own abilities, their investigations lead them with no exceptions to a point where they are unable to distinguish reality from their postmodern paranoia and madness. And in the meantime, no crime is resolved and no social order restored. The autobiographical back drop of the three detectives and protagonists in the three novellas is the author´s own life in the late seventies and early eighties. In that sense the three protagonists all illustrate the parallel lives the author could have had, if chance and trivial every day decisions had not turned Auster´s life around, at certain critical junctures during the darkest moments of his life in connection with the painful divorce from his first wife.

Full textAbstract:
This research seeks to understand the process of detective training and its contribution to the practice of crime investigation. A traditional focus upon the outcomes of the investigative process has proven contentious as it fails to provide evidence on which to base adequate assessment of the quality of detective work. Thus in the research I explore ways in which detective work is learned and the contribution that detective training makes to effective investigative practice by examining the process of crime investigation and the concept of effectiveness in this context. The research seeks to describe the reality of crime investigation as it is practised by detectives and explores the question of what counts as ‘good quality’ detective work. Based on a critical review of the literature on the investigative quality of detective work, the thesis concludes that the effective detective has a breadth of skills (investigative, interpersonal and management skills) knowledge (legal, practical and generic knowledge) and personal qualities (intelligence, determination, patience and integrity). Quality in investigation can be conceptualised as going beyond short term crime control objectives and to consider more long term objectives such as crime prevention, victim satisfaction and effective case management. The research is based on extensive interviews with, and observation of, detectives in training and out ‘in the field’. It also includes interviews with trainers and analysis of relevant documents. The research material collected includes approximately 880 hours of observation and data from a total of 56 interviews. The data were collected over a period of fourteen months and involved elements of ethnography as I joined with detective trainees as they were being trained and then shadowed a small sample of detectives as they carried out investigations in the post training phase. The dissertation provides an insight into detective training and makes a significant contribution to knowledge by revealing something of the meaning of investigative experience and the role of training in the development of trainee detectives. The research findings suggest that the structure of training and the process of measuring competence in the workplace do not currently maximise the learning potential of trainee detectives. Frequently, good detective work is not recognised because it has not achieved a specified goal or objective, whilst the practice of detectives exists in a vacuum of experience with little opportunity for objective reflection and/or professional guidance. Furthermore, the trainees within this sample had an average of 3.5 years investigative experience and this contributed to their perception that much of the content of the formal detective training course had already been learned through experience. In my conclusions I point to weaknesses in the training process and how they might be addressed, including ways of improving the co-ordination of training approaches to ensure consistency and efficiency, ways of improving the relevance and effective delivery of the training content, and the need to introduce work-based assessments to ensure practical competence in the workplace.

Full textAbstract:
The detective fiction (tantei shōsetsu) genre is one that came into Japan from the West around the time of the Meiji Restoration (1868), and soon became wildly popular. Again in recent years, detective fiction has experienced a popularity boom in Japan, and there has been an outpouring of new detective fiction books as well as various television and movie adaptations. It is not a revelation that the Japanese detective fiction genre, while rife with imitation and homage to Western works, took a dramatic turn somewhere along the line, away from celebrated models like Poe, Doyle, and Christie, and developed into a unique subgenre of Japanese prose. However, despite its popularity and innovation, Japanese detective fiction has often been categorized as popular literature (taishū bungaku), which is historically disregarded as vulgar and common.
My thesis first consists of a brief introductory history oftantei shōsetsugenre in Japan. This includes a discussion of Japanese writers' anxiety concerning imitation of Western forms and their perception of themselves as imposters and imitators. Following this, I examine the ways in whichtantei shōsetsuwriters--particularly Edogawa Ranpo (1894 - 1965), the grandfather of the genre in Japan--began to deviate from the Western model in the 1920's. At the same time, I investigate the bias againsttantei shōsetsuas a vulgar or even pornographic genre. Through a discussion of literary critic Karatani Kōjin's ideas on the construction of depth in literature, I will demonstrate how Edogawa created, through his deviance from the West, a new kind of construction in detective fiction to bring a different sort of depth to what was generally considered merely a popular and shallow genre.
This discussion includes a look at the ideas of Tsubouchi Shōyō on writing modern novels, and Japanese conceptions of "pure" (junsui) and "popular" (taishū) literature. Through an examination of several of Edogawa's works and his use of psychology in creating interiority in his characters, I propose that the depth configuration, put forth by Karatani in his critique of canonical modern Japanese literature, is also present in popular fiction, like Edogawa'stantei shōsetsu. When viewed through the lens of Karatani's depth paradigm, we discover how detective fiction and the vulgarity therein may actually have more in common with "pure" fiction created by those writers who followed Shōyō's prescriptions.
In the final section of the introduction, I propose a definition of Japanese detective fiction that links Edogawa's works from the 1920's to the contemporary Japanese detective novel After-Dinner Mysteries (Nazotoki wa dinaa no ato de, 2010), by Higashigawa Tokuya. Thus we see that many of the themes and conventions present in Edogawa remain prevalent in contemporary writing. Finally, I present my translation of the first two chapters of After-Dinner Mysteries.

Este trabalho analisa a obra do chileno Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) sob a ótica da coragem, vislumbrada como traço marcante dos personagens bolanianos e entendida pelo autor como requisito da literatura de qualidade, que supõe a proximidade da arte com uma espécie de abismo. Num primeiro momento, perguntamo-nos sobre quais seriam os perigos que, de acordo com Bolaño, rondariam a literatura e que exigiriam do escritor uma atuação corajosa. Para isso, valemo-nos de romances como Amuleto e Estrella distante, do conto El Ojo Silva e das intervenções críticas de Bolaño. Posteriormente, nos centramos na obra Los detectives salvajes, que retoma procedimentos narrativos e cânones - como as vanguardas e as neovanguardas - considerados corajosos por sua inovação formal, pela crítica às instituições e pela formulação de uma estética que se entrelaça com uma ética. Nesse mesmo processo, verificamos que o autor diagnostica a perda de espaço desses procedimentos corajosos no cenário literário contemporâneo, pautado pelo abandono das utopias e pelas exigências do mercado literário. Vemos que a obra caminha para a elaboração de uma ética possível nesse novo contexto, e que será marcada pela recusa da estabilidade, que se traduz em deslocamento geográfico e linguístico.This paper analyzes the work of chilean writer Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) from the perspective of courage, envisioned as a remarkable feature of his characters and considered by the author as a requirement for a writing with quality, which supposes the proximity between art and a kind of abyss. At first, we wonder about what would be the dangers that, according to Bolaño, surround literature and require a courageous performance. Novels such as Amuleto and Estrella distante, the tale El Ojo Silva and the critical interventions of Bolaño, can be used as examples of that kind of performance. Subsequently, we focus on the work Los detectives salvajes, which incorporates narrative procedures and canons - such as the vanguards and neovanguards - considered courageous due to their formal innovation, the criticism of institutions and the formulation of an aesthetic that is interlaced with a kind of ethic. In that case, we find out that the author had diagnosed the loss of space for these courageous procedures in contemporary literature scene, marked by the abandon of utopias and the demands of the literature market. We can also observe that his work is heading towards the elaboration of a possible ethics in this new context, which will be stamped by the refusal of stability, translated into geographical and linguistic displacement.

El objeto de este informe es, en un primer acercamiento, dar cuenta de cómo ciertas prácticas escriturales, generadas en América del norte primero y en América Latina de los años setenta después, contaminan y cuestionan el proyecto moderno sustentado primeramente en la razón y fundamentalmente en la utopía. En el caso de América Latina revisaré, concretamente, la novela Los detectives salvajes de Roberto Bolaño, postulando que ésta obra establece la escritura a partir de una táctica que abisma lo policial, subvirtiendo y deslizando las categorías que, canónicamente, (con) forman el relato del crimen, sea en su versión clásica inglesa (novela de enigma) o en la versión estadounidense (novela negra).

Este artículo analiza el capítulo II “Los detectives salvajes (1976-1996)”, el cual presenta a cincuenta y cuatro personajes que dan su testimonio sobre los poetas Arturo Belano y Ulises Lima. La ausencia de estos poetas permite que se presenten en la memoria de cada uno de estos sujetos testimoniantes. De esta manera, la narración construye un lugar de memoria para ser habitado por Belano y Lima, que implica una violenta interrupción que se constituye como un rechazo al modelo tradicional de novela, resituando sus ejes fundamentales: el protagonista y el narrador. Así, este capítulo puede ser interpretado como un centro que niega la idea de centro al proponerse como el acontecer mismo de aquello que permanece en fuga.The present article will address chapter II “The savage detectives (1976- 1996)”, which introduces fifty-four characters that give testimony regarding poets Arturo Belano and Ulises Lima. The absence of these poets is what allows for them to be present in each one of the testifying subjects’ memory. The narration, then, constructs a place of memory for Belano and Lima to inhabit, generating in this way a violent interruption that constitutes a rejection of the traditional novel format since it relocates its fundamental elements, namely, the protagonist and the narrator. This chapter can, therefore, be interpreted as a center that denies the concept of center by presenting itself as the very occurrence of that which remainson the run.

My dissertation explores how "anti-trafficking" has emerged as a global network of humanitarian professionals, law enforcement, and software companies collaborating to address the issue of child exploitation and trafficking online. I argue that the anti-trafficking network consolidates expertise through a shared moralizing politics of bureaucracy and carceral sensibility of securitization. This network mobilizes the issue of child protection to expand the reach of technologies of search and prediction, and to afford legitimation to a newly normalized level of digital surveillance. My findings are based on three years of ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with the United Nations and anti-trafficking organizations in Thailand, with a child protection NGO and police in the Netherlands, and with software companies and law enforcement in the United States. I use two case studies to support my argument that the child protection movement has motivated the expansion of digital policing and surveillance: 1) image detection software developed in collaboration between social media and software companies and international law enforcement organizations; and 2) the design and deployment of a 3D moving avatar of a photorealistic girl used in a child sex exploitation sting operation by an NGO working with an advertising firm. I draw from queer feminist phenomenology to introduce 'proximity' as a governing concept for understanding expert sociality and digital surveillance. Child protection operates in a global affective economy of fear, in which the risk of violence is always anticipated and close. The new global policing network keeps exploitation proximate through the humanitarian ideology of emancipation that motivates child protection, and through publicity of technological campaigns, in order to produce public acquiescence to the spectacles of digital surveillance, shaming, and punishment.

Full textAbstract:
En este trabajo vamos a analizar si dos de los personajes principales de la novela Los Detectives Salvajes, Arturo Belano y Ulises Lima, coinciden con la imagen tradicional de masculinidad. Vamos a hacer esto con la finalidad de investigar las caracterizaciones de ellos, realizadas por una variedad de narradores durante la novela, y relacionarlas con teorías sobre la masculinidad. El trabajo está dividido en cuatro apartados, que cada uno investiga un aspecto específico de la masculinidad: la aventura y el héroe, el artista, la violencia y la sexualidad. En cada uno de estos apartados vamos a empezar en un marco teórico sobre el tema, y que luego analizaremos relacionándolo con la teoría. Apoyándonos principalmente en las teorías de Ben Knights en Writing Masculinities, Teoría literaria feminista de Toril Moi, Masculinities de R.W Connell e Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis (Part III) de Sigmund Freud hemos llegado a la conclusión de que Belano y Lima rompen, en varios aspectos, con la imagen tradicional de cómo debe ser un hombre. Sin embargo, en el apartado sobre el artista, se demuestra que cumplen con normas de masculinidad propias del ambiente artístico.

Nas histórias de vida, estão constituídas as diferentes instâncias que indicam as identidades dos que executam a ação, ou seja, os personagens. Apesar disso, tais instâncias costumam estar emaranhadas com o texto, no ambiente e na ação mesma. Numa última análise, estão ocultas pelo lugar primordial que, em vários momentos, tacitamente, se outorga ao desenvolvimento da trama. Além disso, as identidades mesmas estão configuradas na, e desde a, construção da trama, já que é na narração dos acontecimentos – na elaboração e no desenlace do conflito dramático – que se revela o “quem” do texto. Paul Ricoeur (1996c) propõe que o reconhecer e recuperar a identidade de quem conta se estabelece a partir da narrativa. No processo de leitura e de empreender esta busca, aparece que ditas identidades – o “quem” em um sentido amplo – estão estabelecidas nos diálogos, nas lembranças e, inclusive, na opinião que um personagem tem do outro. Ao analisar os momentos de configuração narrativa na trama, podem aparecer desdobramentos de identidade que não se contemplam na execução de uma leitura superficial. Poderá surgir, por exemplo, aquilo que está em jogo quando um personagem narra sobre uma experiência própria: Quem é o narrador e quem é o narrado?; São a mesma pessoa?; Compartilham a mesma identidade? Ao ler um conto sem narrador, escrito completamente em diálogos, poderão aparecer perguntas do tipo: Quem ou o que estabelece a identidade dos personagens?; Na falta de um narrador, por meio de que recursos se conhece a identidade dos personagens? Enquanto os desdobramentos da identidade narrativa trazem consigo estas interrogações, também se entreveem estados de alteridade, por exemplo, em um personagem que não reconhece a si mesmo frente a um espelho, ainda que saiba que é seu próprio reflexo. Nestas situações, a tensão da identidade, que progressivamente se converte em latência, chega a um ponto em que se concretiza numa alteridade e desestabiliza – ainda que por pouco tempo – toda a recomposição da identidade conquistada até o momento. Estará, então, na narrativa o recuperar a noção de “quem” dos personagens que dialogam. Este trabalho busca desentranhar as instâncias de configuração de identidade, seus desdobramentos e as manifestações de alteridade e intersubjetividade nos contos “O espelho”, de Machado de Assis, e “Detectives”, de Roberto Bolaño. Utiliza nas análises as teorias que integram o discurso narrativo com a experiência humana, especificamente as de Paul Ricoeur, incorporando por sua vez estudos literários sobre a intersubjetividade

Full textAbstract:
This research examines the concept of public relations in the English police; what it is, how it has changed and the problems police forces now face with regard to communications. The last two decades has seen a transformation within police public relations as it has become increasingly standardised, corporatized, professionalised and more open, playing a key part in the police transparency agenda. Police officers have been replaced by civilian experts as the departments have grown in size which has led to changes in the structure, strategy and ideology as these departments have adapted to the new challenges posed by social media, severely restricted budgets, apparent loss of public confidence and public cynicism. Since 2009 England’s police forces have become increasingly active online. There is very little research, however, into how and why social media is being used by the police, how it fits into the broader communication strategies, and how this is changing traditional police public relations. During this study a national comparison of police forces was undertaken to investigate these issues. What emerged was a picture of dynamic tension between change and continuity within police communications around identity, ideology, form and function. Once an understaffed, ancillary function, affiliated to but not part of ‘real police work’, most police public relations departments are now considered an “operationally essential” part of modern policing in their force. Social media has enabled police forces to communicate directly to and with large segments of the populous for the first time. This research has also identified strong evidence of the emergence of a new model, that of ‘direct and digital’ within police communications. This new approach appears to be moving police communications from primarily a reactive service to a proactive dialogical one that is increasingly looking to engage with audiences directly online rather than through conventional methods.

Policing is widely understood, empirically and theoretically, as a core function of the state. Much of the knowledge presumes that police are the only body that may kill and arbitrate killing, routinely and without retaliation from contesting parties, as a means of establishing and maintaining a legitimate legal order. This dissertation examines an urban circumstance where killing and its regulation is not simply the realm of police. Sio Paulo, Brazil is a city with parallel normative logics of killing. Via ethnographic research with homicide detectives, I examine these two logics: homicides and police killings known as resistencias. Under democratic restructuring, with failing public security and underwritten by historic and spatial inequities inscribed via disparate processes of urbanization and planning, investigations reveal the practice of a 'normal' homicide that is a product of a system of governance in the urban periphery. Killing has become the realm of an organized crime group known as the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC). Via a prison-periphery nexus, the PCC determines the moral borderlines of violence in the spaces it controls. In apparent moral contrast, police kill citizens at a rate of roughly one per day. Under the rubric of 'resisting arrest' there is a presumption of guilt for the dead and a presumption of innocence for the shooter. Homicide detectives investigate and arbitrate whether these presumptions are 'appropriate'. When not, a resistencia becomes a homicide and the offending police are arrested on the spot by detectives. I track the 'deservedness' of each logic and find that while the two appear antagonistic, there is often a confluence of imaginaries, coalescing in an implicit and obscured 'killing consensus'. This consensus is consolidated via co-orientation and everyday practices pointing towards mutually understood spatial and moral boundaries of who can be killed, why and where, underpinning a decline in homicides here by more than 75% since 2000. Yet, in a 2012 crisis that consensus was 'killed'. Violence erupted between police and the PCC, rupturing the everyday forms of equilibria that have given this city a false floor of security in recent years. Lastly, I examine how public debate and a modest effort to contribute to it led to contradictory reforms.

Full textAbstract:
Anxiety and depressive disorders are prevalent among youth and are often experienced concurrently or sequentially during development (Kroes et al., 2001; Costello, Erklani, & Angold, 2006). These disorders are also associated with weaker cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) outcomes when experienced simultaneously in youth (e.g. Berman, Weems, Silverman, & Kurtines, 2000). Treatment research has begun to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of treating comorbid emotional disorders using transdiagnostic treatment approaches (Barlow et al., 2010; Ehrenreich et al., 2008). Evidence from adult and adolescent populations indicates that these more broadly focused treatment programs may offer benefits above and beyond disorder- and domain-specific protocols, leading to improvements in diagnostic severity and emotion regulation across a range of disorders and emotions (Ellard, Fairholme, Boisseau, Farchione, & Barlow, 2010; Ehrenreich-May & Remmes, 2010). The current study extends transdiagnostic treatment research to school-age children, ages 7-12, in a mental health clinic setting by investigating preliminary post-treatment outcomes and treatment acceptability in a recent open trial (N enrolled= 16; N completed treatment=13) of the Emotion Detectives Treatment Protocol (EDTP; Ehrenreich-May & Laird, 2009). Results revealed that participants experienced significant improvements in clinical severity ratings of principal and all related diagnoses, as well as in parent reported anxious and parent and child reported depressive symptoms at the post-treatment assessment. Additionally, parents reported gains in child coping and improvements in dysregulation across emotional domains (including worry, sadness, and anger). The EDTP had good retention rates, moderately good attendance, and parents and children reported high levels of treatment satisfaction. The results of this open trial provide preliminary evidence for the utility and acceptability of a transdiagnostic group protocol to treat both clinical anxiety disorders, as well as self- and parent-reported anxious and depressive symptoms for youth within a mental health setting. These results suggest that children may uniquely benefit from a more generalized, emotion-focused treatment modality, such as the EDTP, that can offer flexibility in its treatment targets to families as well as mental health clinicians.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis comprises a dissertation, ‘Two-Tone Detectives: Cross-Cultural Crime in Chester Himes’ Harlem Cycle Novels’; and Black Bush City Limits, a novel set amongst the ‘murphoisie’ of Irish London. The focus of the dissertation is an exploration of Himes’ expansion of the terms of the crime novel to countenance the broader theme of crimes against humanity, specifically slavery and its legacy in the United States of America following Emancipation in 1865. The dissertation argues that Himes takes a subaltern genre and by means of resisting the formulaic limitations of crime fiction introduces discourses not usually associated with the genre, such as folk tales, the Absurd, aspects of comedy derived from Elizabethan theatre, carnival, and the historical novel. The dissertation argues that Himes does not consistently manage to blend all of these elements successfully, and that his final unfinished novel, Plan B, fails to realise the potential of Himes’ subaltern genre. My novel, Black Bush City Limits, is an attempt to create a novel in the subaltern genre I argue Himes experiments with in the Harlem Cycle. In Black Bush City Limits a series of murders take place in and around the Dolmen Irish Centre in North London. Mick Kavanagh, a worker at the Centre, investigates these murders. His story is interrupted by extracts from a tranche of letters sent to him by his dying uncle in Ireland. These are by his Victorian forebear, Margaret Kavanagh, alive at the time of the Famine in Ireland. As the novel progresses the significance of these letters becomes apparent, and the two stories are gradually brought together. My dissertation contains a concluding chapter in which I trace where my own novel applies lessons learned from Himes’ example, and where I depart from him.

Full textAbstract:
1940s crime and noir films are noted for their frequently subversive portrayal of gendered and sexual identities, and therefore offer a challenge to the most common theorisation of female characters in classical Hollywood cinema as lacking in the agency that is typically granted to male protagonists. This thesis investigates the role of the soundtrack in the construction and containment of female agency in the crime films produced by RKO Radio Pictures between 1939 and 1950. Case studies are grouped thematically around three of the significant and recurring characterisations of women that occur in the crime film: the victim; the investigator, and the femme fatale. The consideration of women in the role of love interest runs throughout the thesis. Music and sound are shown to be crucial elements of the way in which classical Hollywood cinema positions women, the strategies used within these films to create and contain female agency, and the potential for female characters to resist these positionings. The soundtrack facilitates and reinforces shifts between various roles occupied by female characters in relation to issues of crime, criminality, and romance, as well as aiding the creation of tension and Suspense. The contribution of music and sound to the heightened subjectivity and ambiguity that frequently characterises the 1940s crime film is discussed, and examination of this relationship demonstrates a need to extend the dominant critical theorisation of the classical Hollywood score as an authoritative and reliable guide through the narrative. The following films are examined in detail: Stranger on the Third Floor (d. Ingster; c. Webb, 1940) Suspicion (d. Hitchcock; c. Waxman, 1941) The Leopard Man (d. Tourneur; t. Webb, 1943) Experiment Perilous (d. Tourneur; c. Webb, 1944) Two O'Clock Courage (d. Mann; c. Webb, 1945) Deadline at Dawn (d. Clurman; c. Eisler, 1946) Notorious (d. Hitchcock; c. Webb, 1946) The Locket (d. Brahm; c. Webb, 1946) The Spiral Staircase(d. Siodmak; c. Webb, 1946) Out of the Past (d. Tourneur; c. Webb, 1947) A Woman's Secret (d. Ray; c. Hollaender, 1949).

Lydon, David. "Police legitimacy and the policing of protest : identifying contextual influences associated with the construction and shaping of protester perceptions of police legitimacy and attitudes to compliance and cooperation beyond the limits of procedural justice and elaborated social identity approaches."

Full textAbstract:
Police legitimacy is fundamental to the relationship between the state, citizens and their police, and this is nowhere more challenging than in public order policing contexts. Procedural Justice (PJ) and the Elaborated Social Identity Model (ESIM) have gained dominance in UK policing as the means of establishing greater perceptions of police legitimacy and public compliance and cooperation with the police and the law. Much of the theorising and empirical research in this field has been conducted with regard to police reform, complaint handling, crime reduction and sporting event policing. However, there are limitations to both PJ and the ESIM approaches within public order contexts. PJ and the ESIM assume that violence and disorder stem from a failure of policing to create perceptions of police legitimacy. However, this is problematic for the policing of protest and public order for three interrelated reasons. Firstly, there are occasions when violence occurs despite the police use of PJ and ESIM approaches. Secondly, ignoring or underplaying this detail serves to demoralise the police and undermines their trust in using PJ and the ESIM. Thirdly, an insistence on police use of PJ and ESIM as the exclusively legitimate means of dealing with violence and disorder, ignores different approaches to police legitimacy that are not found within the PJ or ESIM literature. The findings presented in the thesis suggest that PJ and the ESIM do not necessarily work in protest contexts, because protesters’ self-policing, a key claim of the ESIM, does not necessarily equate to compliance with the law and authority. Personal values and moral legitimacy are important aspects of protest contexts that feature less prominently than required within the PJ and ESIM research. The thesis argues that police legitimacy, defined empirically, needs to be understood with regard to the policing context. It is in this respect that the thesis claims an original contribution by identifying and explaining contextually based influences associated with the construction and shaping of protester perceptions of police legitimacy and their attitudes to compliance and cooperation. The thesis uses a mixed method approach to examine the claim of PJ and the ESIM that fair and respectful treatment garners increased perceptions of police legitimacy and creates compliance and cooperation with the law and the police. The empirical research comprises an exploratory quantitative survey (n=40), qualitative interviews (n=79) and non-participant observations at thirteen protest events in London between 2010 and 2015. The findings establish that while the general claims of PJ hold and that social identity forms part of perceived police legitimacy, protesters’ perceptions need to be understood contextually. A contextually driven model of police legitimacy (CDM) developed from empirical data is presented, it suggests that additional influences other than fair and respectful policing play a determining role in constructing and shaping protester perceptions of police legitimacy and their attitudes to compliance and cooperation. The theoretical implications are considered and professional practice recommendations for the policing of protest are presented.

Herrera, Salazar Ramón. "La importancia del valor en el proyecto narrativo de Roberto Bolaño desde una lectura de Los detectives salvajes." Master's thesis, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2018. http://tesis.pucp.edu.pe/repositorio/handle/123456789/12051.
Full textAbstract:
La presente tesis busca explicar la importancia que el valor tiene en el proyecto narrativo de Roberto
Bolaño. A partir de su obra narrativa, sostenemos que el valor representa una comprensión más
pertinente y abarcadora al momento de comprender el mundo narrativo planteado por el autor y su
escritura. A diferencia de otras perspectivas, que enfatizan el fracaso como un elemento característico,
consideramos que el valor resulta para Bolaño un elemento fundamental para comprender su práctica
literaria. Para ello, hemos dividido la tesis en tres capítulos. En el primero capítulo hemos desarrollado la
concepción que tiene Bolaño de la escritura, centrándonos en el valor como elemento fundamental en el
sentido en que ser un buen escritor significa atreverse a desarrollar este doble ejercicio: a) someter a
crítica toda forma de poder y b) buscar indesmayablemente lo nuevo. En este sentido, el riesgo define el
ejercicio literario. En la medida en que el escritor en ciernes es capaz de enfrentarse con las diferentes
formas del poder y arriesgarse a la prosecución de lo nuevo, el ejercicio literario encontrará legitimación
y fundamento. En el segundo capítulo hemos reconocido una suerte de pulsión renovadora que recorre
la poética de Bolaño rastreando las herencias literarias a las que Bolaño es afín y que asumió con el fin de
desarrollar lo que él llama “lo desconocido” o “lo nuevo”. Si en el primer capítulo el componente
“valor” estaba asociado al coraje y a la valentía como condición de todo escritor para ejercer su proyecto
literario, en este nos interesa desarrollar la idea de “lo desconocido” o “lo nuevo” en la escritura de
Bolaño ya que será lo que defina el horizonte literario en el que cobra sentido el valor. Para lograr dicho
objetivo nos hemos centrado en identificar las afinidades existentes entre la escritura de Bolaño y la
vanguardia histórica tanto como con la obra de Jorge Luis Borges. El tercer capítulo está dirigido a
ilustrar de qué forma las consideraciones realizadas por Bolaño en torno a la escritura y el valor se
traducen en Los detectives salvajes. Nos ha interesado en este sentido desarrollar dos líneas de reflexión y
ver de qué forma el factor valor está presente en esta novela. Por un lado, hemos centrado la reflexión
en la experiencia individual de García Madero al contacto con los viscerealistas. Por otro lado,
asumiendo la imposibilidad de conocimiento certero que define la novela, hemos subrayado la
experiencia poética del movimiento poético viscerealista. En ambos casos, nos ha interesado determinar
la forma como el valor y el fracaso ha sido determinante para la escritura de Los detectives salvajes.Tesis
