Contributors are invited to submit critical works on detective
fiction. Papers may focus on the detective across media, whether in
literature, film, drama, or other cultural productions. What cultural
work does detective fiction fulfill? How is the work of the detective
related to cultural or individual crises? What gave rise to detective
fiction and narratives of detection in the nineteenth century? How
has the figure of the detective changed over time? How does gender
influence the work of detecting? In what ways is detective fiction
related to but different from the gothic or sensation literature? How
has postmodernism altered the way we interact with or think about
mystery?
Abstracts of 250-300 words should be emailed to Gretchen Bartels
g.bartels@gmail.com by March 5, 2010 (text in the body of the message;
please no attachments).
