[Bilimsel Haber] CFP: Postcolonial Detective Fiction (3/1/05; collection)

[Sule Tarakcioglu]

From: ncpearson@bellsouth.net


We invite submissions to a collection of essays (already in progress) 
entitled
Anomalous Eyes: Postcoloniality and the Detective. Essays should address 
such
questions as: In what ways do societies in the throes of decolonization or
postcoloniality resist or transform the epistemological "truth quest"
conventionalized in the structure of the detective narrative? Can the 
detective
novel operate independently of national, imperial, or global ideologies? How
have authors worked with the figure of the detective in ways that 
complicate the
narrative or ideological stances typically associated with modernism and
postmodernism? And what happens when authors import the themes of
postcolonialism to literature written in current or former centers of 
empire,
employing the figure of the detective to critique internal colonialism or
globalization?

Please send completed essays of between 4,000-7,000 wds. by March 1, 2006.
Essays can be sent via email, or by mailing two hard copies, to:
