SUMMER 25/26: INTRODUCTION TO CRIME FICTION This course introduces students to the development of crime fiction through selected key texts of Anglo-American traditions from the nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Rather than offering a comprehensive survey, the course traces major shifts in how crime, investigation, justice, and meaning are represented, moving from early moralizing narratives through classical detective fiction, hard-boiled writing, noir, police procedural, and postmodern reconfigurations of the genre. Students will learn to read crime fiction not only as popular narrative but as a historically situated literary form that responds to social anxiety, modernity, and changing concepts of order, authority, and truth.
By the end of the course, students will be able to: - identify key tropes and subgenres of crime fiction (e.g. detective fiction, hard-boiled, noir, police procedural...) - compare different models of investigation, justice, and moral order in crime fiction across historical periods - relate crime fiction texts to their social and historical contexts - apply basic concepts of literary analysis to genre fiction
