Abstract:
Abstract American mystery writer Tony Hillerman (1925-2008) achieved wide readership both within the United States and abroad, and, significantly, within the US both among white Americans and Native Americans. This article discusses Hillerman’s detective fiction firstly within the tradition of the genre and then focuses on particular themes and literary means the writer employs in order to disseminate knowledge about the Southwestern nations (tribes) among his readers using the framework of mystery (crime) fiction. Hillerman’s two literary detectives Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn and Sergeant Jim Chee, both of the Navajo Tribal Police, are analyzed and contrasted with female characters. Finally, the article analyzes the ways in which Hillerman makes the detectives’ intimate knowledge of the traditions, beliefs and rituals of the southwestern tribes and of the rough beauty of the landscape central to the novels’ plots, and how he presents cultural information.

Abstract:
Abstract Despite the fact that Ayn Rand did not influence the best artists, she did leave an important legacy for the American imagination and literary establishment. Rand's influence is arguably more multi-genre than any other author. Some multi-genre authors who were possibly influenced by Rand include: John Steinbeck (literature), Mickey Spillane and Ian Fleming (detective fiction), Ira Levin, Cameron Hawley, Erika Holzer and Kay Nolte Smith (popular fiction) and Terry Goodkind (science fiction). Her influence represents an important balance between many various types of American Literature and is a credit to the hybrid and versatile nature of her fiction.

Abstract:
Placing Jess Walter's The Zero within a post 9/11 counter discourse, the present study examines the novel as a modern mock-heroic fictional work. The novel is critically analyzed as a parody of both the detective fiction genre as well as the early post 9/11 fiction adopting the American official narrative. The argument proceeds through three sub-headings. The first part queries the novel's representation of antiheroism in response to the discourse of heroism prevalent in American culture. The second part ponders on the mock-heroic battles and situations taking place as part of the US war against terror. The last part tackles the multilayered parody by which the novel addresses the hyperreal world by the mainstream media create to overshadow the event's factual enigma.

Abstract:
The influence of Edgar Allan Poe on North American culture and literature is still a subject of debate in contemporary literary theory. However, Poe’s creative legacy regarding the writings of Miriam Allen Deford remains neglected by the literary critics. Deford’s fiction explored a set of literary genres, such as biography, science fiction, crime and detective short stories. Taking these premises as a point of departure, this article aims to identify similarities between “A Death in the Family” and some of Poe’s works. Drawing on studies by J. T. Irwin, James M. Hutchisson and others, the objective of this paper is to analyze passages from Deford’s tale in comparison with the poetry and fictional prose of Poe. The analysis suggests that Deford’s horror short story “A Death in the Family,” published in 1961, was mostly inspired by Poe’s gothic tales, detective stories, and poems.

Abstract:
The popularity of Indigenous-authored science fiction art, literature, film, and even video games has exploded in recent years. More than just a niche interest, these works have material effects on the possibilities young Indigenous people envision for themselves. Contrary to research on the negative effects of Native American stereotypes on youth, positive representations of Native peoples found in Indigenous science fiction portray alternative futurisms to those represented in mainstream science fiction. Developed in concert with traditional knowledge and value systems, alternative futurisms as depicted in Indigenous science fiction forefront Indigenous agency in a genre where Indigeneity is either absent or made irrelevant. This article investigates the ways in which Indigenous science fiction creators leverage traditional knowledge systems to paint a picture of Indigenous futures that depart from mainstream science fiction in material ways.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the early period of the work of the Anglo-American writer Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904). It mainly includes American articles in periodicals. The topic is poorly studied in the domestic research field, as well as Hearn’s works in general, which leads to scientific novelty. The study was carried out with the help of intertextual and motive analysis of newspaper articles in identifying common plots of the writer’s work and references to other authors. It is noted that although Hearn became famous thanks to his stories and legends collected in Japan, he was formed as a writer in America. The article examines the features of Hearn’s style as a journalist: author’s masks (detective, comical narrator, whistleblower), playful communications with the reader, the presence of Gothic elements, references to literary works of favorite authors, common vocabulary, and combination of real facts with fiction. Hearn’s role as a forerunner of whistle-blowing journalism and new journalism is noted, and a series of articles on the tannery murder are examined. There is a movement from sensational and shocking articles to more calm meditative observations, from external to internal. Journalistic experience, as the study showed, significantly influenced Hearn’s literary activity (brevity of form, mixing documentary and fiction, elements of a detective story, subjective position of the narrator).

Abstract:
Native American Mystery, Crime, and Detective Fiction examines a range of texts, most of them Native-authored, that utilize elements of a popular and accessible literary genre: the mystery, crime, and detective story. The examined texts convey how writers fuse tribally-specific cultural elements with characteristics of mystery, crime, and detective fiction as a way to, as I argue, inform all readers about Native American histories, cultures, and contemporary issues. Exploring how Native American writers approach the genre of mystery, crime, and detective fiction is critical, since it is a sub-genre of American Indian literature that has, to date, received little scholarly attention. This study considers eight novels and two made for TV movies that are either written by Native American writers, feature Native American characters and settings, or both. The novels and films that are analyzed represent a spectrum of mystery, crime, and detective stories: starting with the historical mysteries about the Osage Oil Murders presented by Linda Hogan and Tom Holm; to the calls to action regarding contemporary issues of justice, jurisdiction, and violence against American Indian women offered by Frances Washburn and Louise Erdrich; to the short series that invoke intricate questions about history and identity created by Louis Owens; and, finally, to Tony Hillerman's immensely popular hard-boiled Navajo tribal policemen who are brought to the small screen by Chris Eyre, where the distinctions between Western and Indigenous conceptions of healing and spiritual belief are highlighted. These novels and films illustrate a range of American Indian mystery, crime, and detective fiction, and my analysis illuminates the ways in which these texts work to inform and transform readers in regard to issues that surround crime and justice within American Indian contexts.

Abstract:
This dissertation compares Native American and Sardinian literatures, focussing on literary renditions of detective stories, a recent development which has occurred in both literatures. The study is based on Procedura (1988), and Il terzo suono (1995), by Sardinian author Salvatore Mannuzzu; The Sharpest Sight (1992), Bone Game (1994), and Nightland (1996) by Choctaw-Cherokee-Irish writer Louis Owens. In both literatures the use of detective fiction embodies the authors' commentary regarding the discourse on colonization. Recurrent thematic features are the concern with history, notably the history of domination and the processes that have led to the present post-colonial condition. The drive towards solving the crime symbolizes and comments upon the necessity of addressing the history of colonization, past and present, both of the land and its people. All the novels included in this study elaborate the basic features of the genre in innovative ways that offer significant commentaries on the condition of these two colonized peoples. The truth at the end of the narration is broken down to a multiplicity of competing narratives. The dispossession and exploitation of ancestral land are textually structured as crimes which further parallel and comment upon the murder of human beings. Also, the characters of the detectives are pivotal for the embodiment of a critique of the classic anthropological model. The gathering of data in order to offer a 'scientific' version of the truth is an endeavor shared by criminal investigators as well as anthropologists, ethnologists and archaeologists. Since classic detective fiction and modern science developed simultaneously around the middle of nineteenth century, it is not coincidental that post-colonial authors of detective fiction feel the necessity to address the self-appointed superiority of so-called scientific discourse. As both cultures have been commodified as objects to be studied by external social scientists, Mannuzzu's and Owens's refusal to depict a univocal solution is also indicative of the clash between definitions elaborated by outsiders versus forms of traditional knowledge within the cultural group.

Abstract:
Science Fiction/Fantasy and the Representation of Ethnic Futurity examines the influence of science fiction/fantasy (SFF) as applied to twentieth century and contemporary African American, Native American and Latina/o texts. Bringing together theories of racial identity, hybridity, and postcolonialism, this project demonstrates how twentieth century and contemporary ethnic American SFF authors are currently utilizing tropes of SFF to blur racial distinctions and challenge white/other or colonizer/colonized binaries. Ethnic American SFF authors are able to employ SFF landscapes that address narratives of victimization or colonization while still imagining worlds where alternate representations of racial and ethnic identity are possible. My multicultural approach pairs authors of different ethnicities in order to examine common themes that occur in ethnic American SFF texts. The first chapter examines SFF post-apocalyptic depictions of racial and ethnic identity in Samuel Delany's Dhalgren and Gerald Vizenor's Bearheart: The Heirship Chronicles. Chapter two explores depictions of ethnic undead figures in Octavia Butler's Fledgling and Daniel José Older's "Phantom Overload." Chapter three addresses themes of indigenous and migrant colonization in Celu Amberstone's "Refugees" and Rosura Sánchez and Beatrice Pita's Lunar Braceros: 2125-2148.

Abstract:
A presente dissertação, discute o porquê de autores pertencentes a minorias étnicas, mais especificamente autores nativos-americanos, escolherem a literatura policial para fazerem eco de pontos de vista normalmente esquecidos, ou quando muito antagonizados, pelo corpus literário canónico, dado ser este um género recorrentemente apontado pelos críticos como formulaico e conservador, que, aparentemente, não comporta inovações às suas regras convencionais. Neste trabalho, discute-se igualmente a forma como os três autores estudados – Tony Hillerman, Carole Lafavor e Louis Owens – se apropriam e inovam os paradigmas associados ao género, analisando-se as estratégias narrativas mais importantes que cada um apresenta para esse efeito. O corpo de texto da dissertação está dividido em seis capítulos. No primeiro desses capítulos, são abordadas as nações tribais que Hillerman, Lafavor e Owens representam, nomeadamente Navajo, Ojibwa, Choctaw e Cherokee. Para melhor se perceberem os cenários apresentados nas obras alvo de estudo, são apresentados aspectos da mundivivência destas nações tribais, desde o seu contacto com os primeiros exploradores europeus até à sua realidade contemporânea. O segundo capítulo, incide sobre a evolução da ficção policial, indicando-se os factores histórico-sociais que contribuíram para o seu aparecimento, e posteriormente para o seu desenvolvimento, onde é dado especial ênfase ao policial clássico de tradição inglesa e à vertente hard-boiled de tradição americana. O terceiro capítulo apresenta a componente formulaica do género, a qual não é consensual entre os críticos, dividindo-se em definições maximalistas e minimalistas, e também a sua componente ideológica marcadamente burguesa, individualista e capitalista. Por outro lado, é introduzido neste capítulo o espaço geográfico por onde se move preferencialmente o detective nativo, a reserva, bem como a simbologia deste novo protagonista enquanto figura de fronteira. Por último, nos capítulos quatro, cinco e seis, são discutidas as obras específicas de cada um dos autores estudados, analisando-se as suas particularidades e aspectos eminentemente subversivos, que contribuem para a inovação da ficção policial.
This dissertation discusses why authors of ethnic descent, more specifically native-american authors, choose detective fiction to echo viewpoints usually forgotten, or at most antagonized, by the canonical literary corpus, being this a genre described by most scholars as formulaic and extremely conservative that, apparently, doesn’t allow any changes to its rules. This work also discusses how the three authors studied – Tony Hillerman, Carole Lafavor and Louis Owens – appropriate and innovate the conventions of the genre, by analyzing the narrative strategies each one uses, in order to do so. The dissertation is divided in six different chapters. Chapter number one focuses on the tribal nations which are represented by Hillerman, Lafavor and Owens, namely Navajo, Ojibwa, Choctaw and Cherokee. To better understand the settings introduced by the writers in their books is presented the world of these nations and the paths they have trod, since their first encountered European explorers till today. The second chapter regards detective fiction evolution, which social and historical factors made possible for its emergence and development, especially british classic detective fiction and the american hard-boiled. The third chapter approaches the formulaic characteristics of the genre, with its minimalist and maximalist views, as well as the ideology it comprehends. This chapter also introduces the geographical setting where the native-american detective preferentially moves, and his trait as frontiersman. Chapters four, five and six analyze the works of Hillerman, Lafavor and Owens, from a subversive point of view, in order to understand their contribution to the innovation of detective fiction.

Full text
Abstract:
This short conclusion reiterates the main thesis of Cowboy Classics: that Westerns help us grapple with identity issues in a culturally relevant way while providing the comfort of chronological distancing, much as Homer and Virgil’s epics did for their societies. As a result, the Western has proven remarkably resilient, with the past decade seeing a number of big-budget films, both originals and remakes, as well as successful TV series. And just as the characterization of epic heroes shaped notions of idealized masculinity in antiquity, the Western hero remains a pervasive model for ideal manhood in America more generally, as is evident both in other film genres – from science fiction and fantasy to detective and gangster films to post-apocalyptic narratives – and in real world scenarios where men are engaged in heroic action on behalf of society (or want to be seen as such). Indeed, the model of masculinity Westerns provide is so deeply ingrained in the American cultural consciousness that it in turn colors our reception of ancient epic, which is itself now often filtered through a “Western” lens.
