Abstract:

The Golden Age is back with a vengeance: reprints, re-boots, and adaptations of interwar detective fiction and its off-shoots have proliferated in the twenty-first century, as have works more loosely, but nonetheless substantially, inspired by the clue-puzzle format developed and perfected by authors like Agatha Christie. This resurgence of the ‘whodunnit’ mystery is something of mystery itself, as the centre of gravity of crime writing has long shifted away from this ostensibly dated and aesthetically limited form. This paper explores this unexpected development, looking in particular at the

The article focuses on the investigation of detective fiction in general and detective stories in particular which in this research is understood as a narrative where the plot hinges on a crime that the characters investigate and attempt to solve.

Special attention is paid to the genre development of detective stories from a historical perspective. It is worth underlining that the period between World War I and World War II (the 1920s

ABSTRACT: The last decade has been a golden age of detective fiction in the four Scandinavian countries: Sweden; Denmark; Norway; and Iceland. If Henning Mankell stands in the first rank of Nordic mystery writers, it is because he takes the type of book known in Sweden as a “deckare” and gives it the complexity of a superior novel. Mankell not only endows his now famous detective, Kurt Wallander, with a brooding depth of character, but places him in a strikingly realistic setting, and a three-dimensional social context subject to the forces of change.

The primary aim of this paper is to bring out of oblivion Noël Vindry, one of the greatest French Detective writers of the “Golden Age” mysteries who has nothing to envy John Dikson Carr, an American master of the so-called “locked room mystery”.

It is from contingent facts that he arrives, through reasoning, at the rational explanation of an enigmatic fact by reconstituting, backwards

Abstract My essay proposes a reading of J.G. Ballard’s 1988 novella Running Wild as a cautionary crime story, a parable about the self-fulfilling prophecies of contemporary urban fears and about the “prisons” they create in a consumerist, technology- and media-dominated civilization. Interpreted in the light of Foucault’s concept of panopticism, Ballard’s gated community as a crime setting reveals how a disciplinary pedagogy meant to obtain “docile bodies,” masked under the socially elitist comfort of affluence and parental care, “brands” the inmate-children as potential delinquents and ultima

As this study shows, however, a number of Chilean writers, working largely in obscurity, had laid the groundwork for a body of national sf literature over the course of the previous decades. Most of these texts fall into one of three categories: novels of social criticism; space adventure tales; and lost world romances based on regional history and mythology.

In the early to mid-twentieth century, thermodynamic entropy—the inevitable diffusion of usable energy in the Universe—became a ubiquitous metaphor for the dissolution of Western values and cultural energy.

It assesses the significance of this imprint in the context of the Golden Age, with a focus on its commercial animus, drawing on theories about class-based markets and the commercialization of print culture.

Abstract:

The Ukrainian authors of the 1970s focused on the search for the purpose of human existence, which led to the beginning of the Golden Age of Ukrainian science fiction (SF). In the 1980s, a national revival began, and SF developed greater local markets and themes. The economic crisis of the 1990s nearly destroyed SF literature in Ukraine. Subsequently, the Russification of the 2000s emerged, and, in the 2010s–2020s, an era of metamodernism began, resulting in a second wave of national revival.

The ‘golden age’ of clue-puzzle detective fiction is usually considered to end in 1939 with the outbreak of the Second World War.

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 anxietie

Building on Tzvetan Todorov's observation that the detective novel ‘contains not one but two stories: the story of the crime and the story of the investigation’, this essay argues that detective novels display a remarkably wide range of attitudes toward the several pasts they represent: the pasts of the crime, the community, the criminal, the detective, and public history.

Abstract:

This study explores the function of several types of narrative fiction utilized by three of the most distinguished political emblematists of the Hispanic Baroque: Diego Saavedra Fajardo, Andrés Mendo (who borrows liberally from the work of Solórzano Pereira) and the expressly anti-Machiavellian works of Francisco Garau. We consider the rationale behind choosing the emblem as a vehicle to express Counter-reformation political thought and we trace an evolution that leads to one of the books of Garau, which reveals itself to be a highly original work that propagates traditional rhetorical procedu

Abstract:

Being an author whose main struggle has been to track down relentlessly ready-for-use thought structures, the use of literary topoï is far from being self-evident for Boualem Sansal. That’s why the appearance of a topos in his novels is always the sign of a thoughtful aesthetic and ethic choice. Thus, great literary topoï of 17th and 18th centuries novels embodies, in his mind, the golden age of a fully potent fiction. Dealing with a harsh reality and expected to complete french readership expectations of documentary sources, Boualem Sansal’s work constantly intends to reassert the role of a f

Abstract:

AbstractThe sixteenth century was a golden age for impostors and pretenders of many kinds. In addition to the pre-modem lack of means for establishing a person's identity, other contributing factors for the success of impostors were the inability to distinguish between fact and fiction in the flood of reports about newly-discovered lands, the desperate desire of European monarchs to believe in the existence of potential allies against Islam and the eschatological mood bred by the Age of Fear. This article attempts to gauge early modem gullibility by examining the attitudes towards David Reuven

The America of the 1920s was distinguished and damned for different reasons. The period was referred as, Roaring Twenties, the Jazz age, the Golden age and every title speaks about the spirit of the age. It was an age of transition with tremendous changes in art, politics, economy, and culture. People of the era viewed life with a new spectacle admiring money, social status, beauty, and freedom. Especially women of the 1920s had many changing roles. In the post war period the image of the Victorian women subsided and the new women appeared with great cultural advancements.

Abstract:

Abstract William Carlos Williams’s translation of the Spanish Golden Age novella El perro y la calentura (The Dog and the Fever), by Pedro Espinosa, is a major work in Williams’s canon that has yet to receive the degree of attention it deserves from scholars. The omission from scholarly understanding of this translation of proto-modern fiction limits the full appreciation of both his development and his achievement as a major American author. My essay examines the translation and its importance to Williams, his idea of modernism, and his epic verse.

Abstract:

The growth of Western science fiction steadily slowed down after the last century&rsquo;s &ldquo;Golden Age&rdquo;, but the emergence of Chinese-American science fiction writers has given the genre fresh life. This study investigates the deconstruction of Anti-Logocentrism and binary oppositions in the famous science fiction The Story Of Your Life by Chinese American author Ted Chiang applying Derrida&rsquo;s deconstructionist theories as a theoretical framework. First, the paper analyses the traditional relationship between the self and others in terms of the attitude toward a
