Blood on the Table

Editat de Jean Anderson, Carolina Miranda, Barbara Pezzotti
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mar 2018
Written from a multicultural and interdisciplinary perspective, this collection of new essays explores the semiotics of food in the 20th and 21st century crime fiction of authors such as Anthony Bourdain, Arthur Upfield, Sara Paretsky, Andrea Camilleri, Fred Vargas, Ruth Rendell, Stieg Larsson, Leonardo Padura, Georges Simenon, Paco Ignacio Talbo II, and Donna Leon. The collection covers a range of issues, such as the provision of intra-, per- or paratextual recipes, the aesthetics and ethics of food, eating rituals as indications of cultural belonging and regional, national and supranational, and eating disorders and other seemingly abnormal habits as signs of "otherness." Also mentioned are the television productions of the Inspector Montalbano series (1999-ongoing), the Danish-Swedish Bron/Broen (2011 The Bridge), and its remakes The Tunnel (2013, France/UK) and The Bridge (2013, USA).

Descriere

Focuses on the semiotics of food in crime fiction. Tackling the subject from a multicultural and interdisciplinary perspective, it includes approaches from cultural studies, food studies, media studies and crime fiction studies. Thus the collection investigates how the representation of food's convivial aspects and of eating rituals can also point to complex discourses about cultural belonging.
