| 備考/ NotesNotes |
Crime fiction is an important subset of speculative fiction that focuses on solving a mystery. Classic crime fiction focuses on detectives and the mechanics of the crime committed, while later iterations of the genre focus on character studies and character types, atmosphere and suspense, and the motives of the criminal. Crime fiction may also include depictions of legal processes and prominent figures such as judge (and jury), witnesses, and police. The genre continues to evolve today , crossing over into various other areas of speculative fiction, such as horror and sci-fi.
This course is designed to engage students in interdisciplinary approaches to reading a text. It will provide an overview to several of the major subsets of crime fiction. In addition to literary fiction, students will be introduced to historical contexts, social criticism, cultural theory, and scientific theories that suit the story we are discussing.
