230226 Travelling the World: Crime and Detective Fiction (S) (WiSe 2023/2024)

Contents, comment

This seminar will provide an overview of the popular genre ‘Crime and Detective Fiction’ in its historical and regional variety. Addressing questions concerning genre conventions and innovation, we will pay attention to the character conception of detectives, to plot design, narration and focalisation. Starting with 19th-century fiction, we will read prototypical detective stories by Edgar Allan Poe and Arthur Conan Doyle as well as a contemporary Bengali rewriting featuring Byomkesh Bakshi as a South-Asian appropriation of Sherlock Holmes. Moving on to the 20th and 21st centuries, we will study British, Australian and South African novels that follow the modes of the ‘whodunit’ and the 'hardboiled'.
