Abstract:

The appearance in 2003 of 21 Georges Simenon novels in the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade reaffirmed a widespread consensus that French-language crime fiction, especially the roman noir with its vigil over the political and social ills of the nation, had secured its position as an important vector of French cultural history. Its sister genre, the thriller, has fared less well. Justly criticised for its expedient style and limited intellectual horizons, the thriller continues to appeal to a mass readership drawn from all sectors of society.This article locates its attractions in the ways in which w

Abstract:

Abstract Thriller is considered to be a subgenre of criminal fiction, in which the most significant role is played by fast-paced action, suspense, spectacular events. In case of so called international and political thrillers it should also be mentioned that their authors construct their plots around the problems such as global conflicts, international conspiracy, terrorism, the development of nuclear weapon. However, problems commonly mentioned by many authors of other subgenres of criminal fiction, are also present in the novels classified as thrillers. The collapse of well-being society, un

The topic of the article is the specificity of a medical thriller based on the novel Danc-ing with Bones (Танці з кістками) (2022) by Andriy Semyankiv. The study points out the specific features of a medical thriller and their reflection in Semyankiv’s literary work. This novel has its own specificity due to the local political and economic contexts of Ukraine. It fully reflects the features of the genre, while at the same time not being a literary cliché. The author also tries to analyse the peculiarities of the phenomena of fear and anxiety, which are the basis of the content of this medical

Abstract This article presents the Swiss-Iraqi director Samir Jamal Aldin and his thriller Baghdad in My Shadow (2019) and puts it into a context of the re-negotiation of identities in a culturally diverse Europe. The director’s intention is presented as a wish to deal with taboo issues related to gay rights, women’s emancipation, and religious fundamentalism within an Iraqi community in contemporary London. The film is analysed with the help of (1) theories analysing tensions between liberal-secular and religious-fundamentalist standpoints, and (2) theories about film viewers’ engagement, amp

Abstract:

This thesis investigates a corpus of films identifiable as Hollywood political thrillers during the Cold War spanning a period of seventeen years, between 1945 and 1962. It aims to dispel the assertion by critics and scholars that the political thriller originates with the release of The Manchurian Candidate (Frankenheimer, 1962). Moreover, it is my intent to engage an interdisciplinary approach given that the relationship between contemporary American cinema, ideology and propaganda has often been overlooked (see Shaw, 2007).

Abstract:

This inquiry, through the production of a political thriller/academic novel, and subsequent fictocritical interview with its central character, seeks to provide an illustration of the role of story in creative writing practice, and how it can be applied to both the teaching and study of the discipline. It explores how story, as a social and community resource, is a place where writer meets reader, where knowledge meets understanding, and where values, beliefs and axioms that inform human lives rise to the surface through a shared activity from which both writer and reader learn about themselve

Abstract:

Written in the tradition of American political suspense thrillers such as "Fail-Safe" and "Seven Days In May," "Bearclaw" uses their idealistic and nationalistic elements to tell a story of an American President eager to lead the world's peoples in a quest to achieve man's "highest destiny," the conquest of space. Believing that this common goal will cause mankind to come together in a spirit of brotherhood, he misreads the historical purpose of the United States and, in the end, refuses to recognize the obvious truths of human frailty and ambition even though he has been victimized by them.

Abstract:

AbstractFictional entertainment accounts for a large share of the overall media content and is very popular with the audience. It is highly diverse in form and content, and differs, for example, regarding media type, genre, and target group. Fictional entertainment comprises novels (e.g., thriller, romance), comic books, TV series (e.g., crime series, daily soaps, medical shows, political drama), children’s programs, feature films, cartoons, box office hits, audio plays, etc. Research on fictional entertainment typically concentrates on audiovisual productions, i.e. TV series and movies.

Abstract:

AbstractWhat can crime stories tell us about the imaginary of political commitment? In France as in other European countries, the connections between writers and radical left activists were a strong feature of 1980s and 1990s crime fiction, in the wake of French néo-polar. In contrast, twenty-first-century thrillers seem to be inhabited by disillusioned and disoriented cops, and undecided or fatal commitments. Rather than exploring political issues emerging from crime fiction, this chapter focuses on the representation of political attitudes themselves in contemporary French Noir, to better understand the role played by uncertainty and disarray in European political sensibilities. The analysis is based on a large corpus of French crime fiction, from the early 1970s néo-polar by Jean-Patrick Manchette, to the novels of Caryl Férey, Dominique Manotti, Frédéric Paulin and Olivier Norek.

Abstract:

AbstractThis chapter examines how a politics of cultural diversity was implemented over a 30-year period in a Norwegian school concert program run by Concerts Norway. Departing from a historical overview, the chapter outlines the shifting agendas, values, and visions of diversity that governed this ambitious cultural effort. A central aim is to examine the ideological positions that influenced the program and the political and educational debates surrounding it. The concert program is discussed with respect to cultural diversity and anti-racism, democracy, tradition, hybridity, and the tensions between educational and artwork-based paradigms. Based on theorizations of cultural difference, the chapter shows how promoting music to children has been understood as an important part of shaping societal attitudes and laying the grounds for an anti-oppressive education. Critical issues regarding representation, influence, and power in the staging of music involving immigrant performers are raised. The chapter relates the concert programs to the political frames and ideals of the nation-state by illustrating how international cooperation effectively made the concert programs a part of Norwegian foreign policy. It points out how changing government policies had a profound impact on programs promoting cultural diversity, eventually leading to their termination as a national cultural strategy.

Abstract:

Abstract Manohar Malgonkar’s The Garland Keepers (1980), a little-known, fast-paced, and highly entertaining political spy thriller, provides an entry point to show how the crisis of the Emergency—which conventional literary wisdom has led us to believe demands a similar crisis in form—elicits here a derivative reification of crisis, in the form of boilerplate genre fiction. Situating the novel within its multiple historical and literary contexts, including the various genealogies of the spy thriller in India, the chapter argues that genre fiction counter-intuitively clues us in to the tense negotiations between crisis and continuity, critiquing both the one-off Emergency, and the iterative emergency of ongoing corruption.
