Description: Im Krimi regnet es immer – so eine gängige und von Lesern und Leserinnen sowie der Wissenschaft geteilte Meinung. Doch stimmt das eigentlich? Das Wetter im Kriminalroman wird vielfach nur als Beiwerk wahrgenommen und wurde bisher auch in der literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung meist vernachlässigt. Katia Schorn ändert das und analysiert im Rahmen eines historischen Durchgangs die Funktionsgeschichte des Wetters im französischen Kriminalroman. Anhand ausgewählter Texte von den Vorläufern im 19. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart entwickelt sie eine gattungspoetologische Annäherung an meteorologische Phänomene im Kriminalroman – und zeigt, dass in Krimis durchaus die Sonne scheint.

Description: Investigating Identities: Questions of Identity in Contemporary International Crime Fiction is one of the relatively few books to date which adopts a comparative approach to the study of the genre. This collection of twenty essays by international scholars, examining crime fiction production from over a dozen countries, confirms that a comparative approach can both shed light on processes of adaptation and appropriation of the genre within specific national, regional or local contexts, and also uncover similarities between the works of authors from very different areas. Contributors explore discourse concerning national and historical memory, language, race, ethnicity, culture and gender, and examine how identity is affirmed and challenged in the crime genre today. They reveal a growing tendency towards hybridization and postmodern experimentation, and increasing engagement with philosophical enquiry into the epistemological dimensions of investigation. Throughout, the notion of stable identities is subject to scrutiny. While each essay in itself is a valuable addition to existing criticism on the genre, all the chapters mutually inform and complement each other in fascinating and often unexpected ways. This volume makes an important contribution to the growing field of crime fiction studies and to ongoing debates on questions of identity. It will therefore be of special interest to students and scholars of the crime genre, identity studies and comparative literature. It will also appeal to all who enjoy reading contemporary crime fiction.

Description: A Companion to Contemporary French Cinema A Companion to Contemporary French Cinema presents a comprehensive collection of original essays addressing all aspects of French cinema from 1990 to the present day. Featuring contributions from an international cast of established and emerging scholars of French cinema, these innovative essays highlight the diversity of French films and filmmaking techniques that have emerged since the New Wave era. Themes and topics covered include the social, political, and cultural contexts of recent French cinema; contemporary filmmakers and performers; genres, cycles, and cinematic forms; gender and sexuality; and emerging trends and innovative new filmmaking forms. Among the French films examined in depth are hit comedies including Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis and Intouchables, blockbusters such as The Crimson Rivers, police films like 36th Precinct, historical films such as Farewell My Queen and Days of Glory, celebrated animated features such as Kirikou and the Sorceress, films representative of the “new French extreme,” such as Romance, Baisemoi, and Trouble Every Day, and numerous auteur films ranging from Bruno Dumont’s Hors Satan and François Ozon’s shorts to Pascale Ferran’s Lady Chatterley and Alain Guiraudie’s L’Inconnu du lac. Combining cutting-edge scholarship with wide-ranging methodological approaches and perspectives, A Companion to Contemporary French Cinema is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of French film, as well as all those interested in the evolution of this celebrated cinematic tradition.

Description: Le film policier/criminel est sans doute le genre le plus européen. Son succès, au cinéma et à la télévision, en fait un grand genre populaire dont cet ouvrage explore la richesse culturelle. Sont aussi privilégiées les dimensions historiques, économiques et idéologiques et sa propension à témoigner des tensions d'une société, ou sa capacité à reconduire ou à déconstruire des normes sexuées.

Description: In der kleinen Universitätsstadt Guernon nahe Grenoble wird die grausam zugerichtete Leiche des Bibliothekars Rémy Callois entdeckt. Der ermittelnde Kommissar glaubt zunächst an einen Ritualmord, bis ganz in der Nähe ein weiterer Toter gefunden wird: der Krankenpfleger Philippe Sertys. Gezielt gelegte Spuren haben die Polizei zu ihm geführt. Zur gleichen Zeit versucht ein Inspektor in einem französischen Provinznest, das rätselhafte Verschwinden eines zehnjährigen Schülers aufzuklären. Als sich herausstellt, dass beide Kriminalfälle in Zusammenhang stehen, beginnt eine fieberhafte Spurensuche. Bald ist klar, dass die zwei Toten keineswegs unschuldige Opfer waren, und die ╦purpurnen Flüsse╦ erweisen sich als Chiffre für ein furchtbares Verbrechen ...

Description: «Grangé sa dominare perfettamente l’arte della suspense.» L’Espresso - Fabio Gambaro «Una storia di follie che si incrociano in una continua sovrapposizione di vittime e carnefici.» TTL-La Stampa - Alessandro Perissinotto «Grangé sa dominare perfettamente l'arte della suspense.» Fabio Gambaro, L'Espresso «Una storia di follie che si incrociano in una continua sovrapposizione di vittime e carnefici.» Alessandro Perissinotto, ttL-La Stampa Vicino a Grenoble viene rinvenuto un cadavere orrendamente mutilato. Nella vicina regione del Lot viene profanata la tomba di un bambino di dieci anni scomparso in circostanze misteriose. I due casi si intrecciano, e così anche i destini dei due poliziotti incaricati delle indagini, tra false piste, macabre scoperte, gelosie professionali e vendette familiari, fino all'orrore che ha dato inizio alla carneficina: un delirio scientifico che aveva condotto a un folle e crudele esperimento genetico. Un thriller che trova il perfetto equilibrio tra azione e psicologia, intelligenza dell'intreccio e fascino dei paesaggi.
