The Foreign in International Crime Fiction: Transcultural Representations de Professor Jean Anderson

The Foreign in International Crime Fiction: Transcultural Representations

Editat de Professor Jean Anderson, Dr Carolina Miranda, Dr Barbara Pezzotti
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 apr 2014
'The foreigner' is a familiar character in popular crime fiction, from the foreign detective whose outsider status provides a unique perspective on a familiar or exotic location to the xenophobic portrayal of the criminal 'other'. Exploring popular crime fiction from across the world, The Foreign in International Crime Fiction examines these popular works as 'transcultural contact zones' in which writers can tackle such issues as national identity, immigration, globalization and diaspora communities. Offering readings of 20th and 21st-century crime writing from Norway, the UK, India, China, Europe and Australasia, the essays in this book open up new directions for scholarship on crime writing and transnational literatures.

Recenzii

Ranging from early twentieth-century British spy stories to contemporary Scandinavian thrillers and covering settings that include Argentina, the French Pacific, Cuba, Australia, New Zealand, and much of Europe, the sixteen essays in this important collection ask crucial questions about the ways in which the encounter with the foreign has been staged in Western literature... The Foreign in International Crime Fiction is indispensable reading not only for scholars of the genre but also of ethnography, and of post-colonial and travel literature.
This volume presents an array of original perspectives on the representation of the Other and the production of cultural hybridity in international crime writing. A must read for anybody interested in contemporary crime fiction on a global scale.
It is a must read for those who want to widen their crime fiction horizons. They should not be disappointed.
