Abstract:

Through analysis of two debut novels, Linda Hogan's Pulitzer-Prize-nominated murdermystery Mean Spirit 1990 and Tom Holm's private eye detective story The Osage Rose 2008, this article considers what Native-authored mystery fiction has to offer in terms of self-representation of Indigenous history and culture. Paying particular attention to detective fiction genre elements—such as the novels' openings, the detectives, the forms of detection, and the resolution—shows how Hogan and Holm employ the mystery genre to present Native narratives about the Osage oil murders, and, given their ability to

Abstract:

This autoethnographic narrative uses fictional female heroine Nancy Drew and her friends to perform coauthor Jan's experience of breast cancer. Friends and colleagues Jan and Cris try out alternative characterizations of Nancy Drew as a mechanism for Jan to push back against the social construction of breast cancer victim/survivor. We use performative fiction to be creative and have fun with the experience while providing social support and deepening our relationship. In the end, Jan performs self-with-breast-cancer as an academic feminist, and Nancy Drew performs breast cancer as a fictional

“El caso Berciani” (1992) relates to the genre of detective and mystery fiction by parody and distortion. Alan Pauls (Buenos Aires, 1959) explores the relation between order and abjection.

This article explores how this short story uses detective fiction to elaborate on knowledge and interpretation, and urban dystopias and social tensions.

Abstract:

This paper proposes an analytical taxonomy of ‘mystery’ based upon what makes a mystery mysterious. I begin by distinguishing mysteries that depend on what we do not know (e.g. detective fiction) from mysteries that depend on what we do know (e.g. religious mysteries). Then I distinguish three possible grounds for the latter type. The third and most provocative ground offers a mathematical analogy for how rational reflection can be appropriate to mystery without compromising its intrinsically mysterious character. I conclude with reflections on the metaphysical presuppositions that this unders

The review deals with Luc Boltanski's Mysteries and Conspiracies [Enigmes et complots]. The following is noted as defects of the reviewed book: detective fiction is associated with anxieties that question the framework of modern reality. Such attribution, it is argued, results from inaccurate comparison of detective fiction to a spy novel. The reviewer identifies contradictions in the definition of detective fiction: on the one hand, it is characterised by the proverbial anxiety. On the other, the writer suggests that unravelling a mystery normalises the ‘integrity of predictable expectations.

Approaching the mysterious death as something like a detective fiction “cold case”, the events of Murphy, and clues left by Beckett throughout the prose that follows, I will investigate whether or not Murphy does actually die toward the end of the book.

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.

However, this article investigates how a number of stories in Ivan Vladislavić’s 101 Detectives challenge the conventions of legibility in representing crime in post-apartheid South Africa. The med

She also for the first time uses character qualities to develop Mary into a character with a talent to rely on her own observations and draw the correct conclusions. Thus she becomes the prototype of the girl sleuth who will become important in later detective fiction

Genre fiction, also recognized as popular fiction is an umbrella term as it comprises various categories, varieties, and sub-types. On occasion, innovative writers have practiced in mingling these methods and generating an entirely dissimilar variety of categories. In general, genre fiction inclines to place plentiful significance on entertainment and, as a consequence, it leans towards to be more widespread with mass audiences. But currently, writers are lettering beyond mere meager amusement and they are commenting on various socio-cultural issues, resulting in their writing more realistic.

Abstract:

AbstractSir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories involve a hermeneutic game in which Holmes attempts to uncover the mystery of unsolved crime. The work of Hans-Georg Gadamer enables Holmes’s methods to be seen as both playful and creative as he seeks to understand what G. K. Chesterton refers to as the poetry of the modern world. Holmes is therefore a creative and scientific detective, one who loses himself in the game of detection in order to find himself in the search for truth in the wider world. Through the agency of Dr Watson, the reader is invited to join the game and attempt to

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

Abstract:

Mr. Moto, a fictional Japanese detective, achieved mass popularity through a series of 1930s films starring Peter Lorre. Moto was the creation of successful writer John P. Marquand (1893–1960), whose novels depicted a Japanese international spy quite different from the genial Mr. Moto of film. Revisiting the original Mr. Moto novels illuminates a Japanese character who rationalized Japan’s 1930s continental expansionism in ways that might have been acceptable to many Americans. Although Marquand intended to present Mr. Moto as a “moderate” and reasonable Japanese agent and generally present Ea

Abstract:

A large city shapes the surrounding space, orienting it towards itself, saturating it with elements of its lifestyle and way of thinking. At some distance, these elements begin to blur and, moreover, to turn into their opposites. These quality changes in space are geographically sensitively recorded in folklore, fiction, painting, and cinema. People’s or author’s observation highlights localities far from the center, so much so that they are clearly discordant with the center, but still perceived as a fading spatial extension of the center, and not as other regions. Elements of phobias, myster

The subject of interpretation in the novel is medieval history, in particular, the reign of the emperor Frederick Barbarossa. Eco uses the typical for the historical novel method, which is the combination of facts from chronicles and fictional elements; the events are shown by the eyes of an invented character Baudolino. Emphasizing the connection between history and modernity, Eco proposes to revise the stereotypes associated with the mentioned historical period. The portraits of historical figu

Abstract:

The relationship between Ireland and the Gothic goes back to the early days of the genre, when the Sublime, as identified by the Irish philosopher Edmund Burke, became central to the aesthetic concepts which would abound in the articulation of the Gothic as a literary form. The “dark, desolate and stormy grandeur” of the perception of Ireland which was held by the English reading public in the late eighteenth century was readily adaptable for the use of the island as a kind of pre-Enlightenment wilderness which, when combined with its linguistic, religious and cultural “otherness”, provided a

Abstract:

Seaside resorts frequently served as locations of murder mysteries in Golden Age detection fiction, since these destinations could provide a diverse clientele, confined to manageably small groups essential to classic detective stories. The fictional seaside town of Wilvercombe serves as the location of Dorothy L. Sayers’s detective novel Have His Carcase (1932), in which Lord Peter Wimsey and detective-story writer Harriet Vane investigate the case of a man found dead on the beach. The location of the body turns out to be a source of confusion: while the detectives expect a traditional locked-
