Abstract:
This roundtable on women and crime was inspired by a discussion at a CUNY Dissections Seminar in April 2021, where Gülhan Balsoy presented her work in progress on Ottoman crime fiction in the early 20th century. The focus of her paper was a popular murder mystery series called The National Collection of Murders, which had been published in Istanbul in 1914. The protagonists of this fictional crime series were a mother and daughter known as the Dark Witch and the Bloody Fairy, who led an underground criminal gang living in a secret subterranean world beneath the city of Istanbul.

Abstract:
Detective fiction is a genre characterized by mystery, reasoning, and intrigue that has captivated readers for centuries. However, the mystery here does not rely on theology but is rooted in logic. Malmgren (1997), in Bloody Murder, defines detective fiction as a hybrid genre encompassing elements of detective crime, psychological analysis, suspense, and police procedural stories. It ensures that the detective's resolution of the crime presented to them does not depend on “divine revelations, feminine intuition, nonsensical ramblings, trickery, coincidence, or acts of God.”

Abstract:
This essay reads the landscape of Roberto Bolaño’s fictional Santa Teresa through a new materialist lens. In the fourth section of Bolaño’s epic novel 2666, “The Part about the Crimes,” the bodies of 112 women, victims of a series of unsolved murders, accumulate as part of a postglobal dystopic narrative of material and existential waste. Critics have especially noted the text’s clinical narration of events, which effectively reduces the victims’ bodies to interchangeable parts of a larger assemblage that also includes the factories (maquiladoras) where the women work, the northern capital tha

Abstract:
The pun in the title of Philip McLaren’s Scream Black Murder could indicate that this is a conventional crime novel in which the victims are black or that his intentions are militant; or both. In this novel McLaren uses a sub-genre of crime fiction as a vehicle for his activist Aboriginal message – the popular and sensational police procedure that centres around the crimes of a serial killer. This article studies the way in which he exploits the conventions of this sub-genre of Western literature to reinforce the impact of his post-colonial message.

Abstract:
This article discusses the house as a site of memory in the novels of Margery Allingham, where it embodies a tension between the past and the present that turns the domestic milieu into a place of horror. Stemming from Susan Rowland’s claim that Golden Age authors did not write ‘unproblematically conservative country house mysteries’ (43), this paper uses Svetlana Boym’s theory of restorative and reflective nostalgia and Pierre Nora’s concept of lieux de mémoire (sites of memory) to read Allingham’s novels, which critically observe the sustainment of a vision of the past after the Great War.

Abstract:
Contrary to popular belief, Tartan Noir is not a synonym for Scottish noir but a mystifying marketing label for a national literature: dark, contemporary Scottish crime fiction. As it comprises an immense diversity of writing done in such mainstream sub-genres as detective, police, and serial killer fiction, as well as actual noir, I will investigate both the contrasts and the crossovers between said sub-genres. I will show that only few of the writers who are most associated with Tartan Noir write much, or any, noir, whereas most of those who do are not commonly associated with the term. With

She has always been moved by the landscape, a place of mountains, river valleys, deserts, fossil-bearing rock formations, basalt cliffs, alkali beds, sagebrush, bunch grass, juniper, and vast forests of pine and larch. Yet in many ways, she has returned to her hometown to confront her past. Maggie comes back with some personal baggage, but also some authority. She is now a sergeant with the Oregon State Police.

<p>This thesis falls within the category of historical studies that is concerned with a difficult legacy of South Africa̕s liberation struggle, namely the practice of necklacing that accompanied it. My interest in the practice is limited to its emergence and politicising as it relates to the ANC, the UDF and the apartheid state. The ANC and the UDF overwhelmingly understood the practice as resistance, yet ambivalently so. The question guiding this thesis therefore asks: how is necklacing written into the narrative of struggle history? Here I refer to its (re)representation, its (re)characteri

Abstract:
This thesis explores the connections between the nineteenth century periodical press and the development of detective fiction, between approximately 1840 and 1900. It argues that these two Victorian developments were closely interrelated, and that each had significant impacts on the other which has hitherto gone underexplored in academic scholarship. The thesis argues that the relationship between the police and the periodical press solidified in the mid-Victorian era, thanks to the simultaneous development of a nationwide system of policing as a result of the passage of the 1856 County and Bo
