DeFINO, Dean J., Faster Pussycat ! Kill !Kill ! London & New York, Wallflower Press &New York, Columbia University Press, 2014,106 pages.Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)is an enigma. A box-office failure when initiallyreleased on the grindhouse circuit, it has sincebeen embraced by art-house audiences, andreferenced in countless films, television series,and songs. A riot of styles and story clichéslifted from biker, juvenile delinquency, andbeach party movies, it has the coherence of adream, and the improvisatory daring of a jazzsolo. John Waters has called it the greatestmovie ever made, and Quentin Tarantino haslong promised to remake it.

increasingly, in cooperation with mainlandChina and Hollywood.

BROWNSON, Charles, The Figure of theDetective : A Literary History and Analysis,Jefferson, McFarland, v, 210 pages.This book begins with a history of the detectivegenre, coextensive with the novel itself,identifying the attitudes and institutions neededfor the genre to emerge in its mature formaround 1880. The theory of the genre is laidout along with its central theme of the gettingand deployment of knowledge. SherlockHolmes, the English Classic stories and theirinheritors are examined in light of this themeand the balance of two forms of knowledgeused in fictional detection—cool or rational, andwarm or emotional. The evolution of the genreformula is driven by changes in the socialclimate in which it is embedded. These changesexplain the decay of the English Classic and itsreplacement by noir, hardboiled and spystories, to end in the cul-de-sac of the thrillerand the nostalgic Neo-Classic. Possible newforms of the detective story are suggested.

CHIU, Monica, Scrutinized ! Surveillance inAsian North American Literature, Honolulu,University of Hawaïï Press, 2014, ix, 177pages.Chang-rae Lee's Native Speaker, KerriSakamoto's The Electrical Field, Don Lee'sCountry of Origin, Mohsin Hamid's TheReluctant Fundamentalist, Susan Choi's APerson of Interest. These and a host of otherAsian North American detection and mysterytitles were published between 1995 and 2010.Together they reference more than a decade ofAsian North America monitoring that includesinternment, campaign financing, espionage,and post-9/11 surveillance. However, theseworks are less concerned with solving crimesthan with creating literary responses to thesubtle but persistent surveillance of racedsubjects. Monica Chiu reveals how Asian NorthAmerican novels' fascination with mystery,detection, spying, and surveillance is a literaryresponse to anxieties over race. According toChiu, this allegiance to a genre that takesinterruptions to social norms as its foundationspeaks to a state of unease at a time of racialscrutiny.

L’ouvrage a été réalisésous la houlette de Roland Lacourbe, grandérudit en la matière, auteur de multipesouvrages et anthologies, spécialiste (entreautres) des récits « impossibles », avec lacollaboration de Vincent Bourgeois, PhilippeFooz et Michel Soupart.

It traces the popularization of the'criminal beast' metaphor in the late 16thcentury, the troubling of the trope during thelong 18th century, and the later discovery ofcriminal atavism. It concludes that criminal-animal metaphors influence punitivetreatments of prisoners and the poor eventoday.

Morgue inaugurated the detective whodunnit in1841, narratives following the same basicstructure have continued to flood the fictionmarket. This book examines why this form hasproved so tenacious, and plots a coursethrough the thousands of crime novels andstories which have appeared since then. Notingdifferences of form between pure whodunnitsconcerned with a past crime, and thrillerswhere we focus on a present action, the bookmaps such variants onto a series of historicalchanges, chiefly in Britain and the USA but withsome consideration of French and Scandinavianfiction. As well as such classic detective writersas Collins, Doyle, Christie and Chandler, thebook explores the Newgate Novel, spy fiction,the noir thriller, postwar police fiction, blackand female private eyes, and the serial-killermode which has swept the field since the1980s. In this second edition a substantial newchapter has been added, and other chaptershave been expanded to include significant newtrends in the genre.

SANDTEN, Cecile, Günter Süss, & MelanieGRAICHEN, (dirs.), Detective Fiction andPopular Visual Culture, Trier, Wissen-schaftlicher Verlag, 2013, 247 pages.Crime and detective fiction have never beenmore popular. When it comes to detectivefiction and critical writings, as Larry Landrumremarked in 1999, ""a great deal of effort hasbeen put into the study of mystery anddetective fiction and related genres, providingmany new perspectives on how and whenthese forms emerged and how they are relatedto culture"". As with all serial phenomena, theevolution of the genre of detective fiction canbe described by two simultaneous processes:repetition and variation. Thus, the purpose ofthis volume of essays is to bring together, in abilingual format (English and German), bothacademic papers that were presented at theconference ""Detective Fiction in AmericanPopular Culture"" held at Chemnitz Universityof Technology in October 2011 and threepieces of short fiction (one extract from anovel) that were awarded the ""1. ChemnitzerKrimipreis"". Moreover, several articles werecommissioned specially for this volume in orderto sharpen its focus on exploring theintersections between detective fiction(understood in a broader sense) and popular

visual culture. Last but certainly not least, thepublication of this volume marks not only the60th birthday of Evelyne Keitel, Professor ofAmerican Studies, but also the 175thanniversary of Chemnitz University ofTechnology. The editors have, accordingly,decided to include articles by colleagues,friends, and young academics who shareEvelyne Keitel's research and scholarlyinterests, in particular, her strong focus ondetective fiction in American popular culture.This volume thus demonstrates how theintersections between detective fiction andpopular visual culture have become a topic ofinterdisciplinary study in its own right.

Anchored inthe historical contexts of protest cultures andcountercultures of the last three decades, thisstudy examines novels by popular feministwriters Pieke Biermann, Edith Kneifl and IngridNoll, and unexplored works by Susanne Billig,Gabriele Gelien, Corinna Kawaters, KatrinKremmler, Christine Lehmann and Martina-Marie Liertz. An analysis of recent debatesthrough the lens of genre fiction serves as thefoundation for telling the cultural history of

MIHAIES, Mircea, The Metaphysics ofDetective Marlowe : Style, Vision, Hard-Boiled Repartee, Thugs, and Death-Dealing Damsels in Raymond Chandler’sNovels, Lanham (MD), Lexington Books, 2014,221 pages.This book is a comparative study of ‘the lifeand times” of an American idol, RaymondChandler’s detective Philip Marlowe. It is abitter-sweet critical exploration, meant toredefine the exceptional cultural profile, as wellas the moral and social obsessions of one ofAmerica’s eminent fictional heroes. The studypaints a colorful picture of the irresistible blendof romantic blind faith and social, moral andpolitical toughness which characterized theUnited States in the 1930s-40s, with thememorable throng of drug dealers, hit men,vamps, corrupt politicians, and eccentric

millionaires that colonize Raymond Chandler’swork.

TSCHACHLER, Heinz, The Monetary Imagi-nation of Edgar Allan Poe : Banking,Currency, and Politics in the Writings,Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2014, x, 219 pages.In this first-of-its-kind treatment, HeinzTschachler offers an account of Edgar AllanPoe’s relation to the world of banking andmoney in antebellum America. He contendsthat Poe gave the full force of his censure tothe acrimonious debates about America’smoney, Andrew Jackson’s bank war, the panicof 1837 and the ensuing depression, and thenation’s inability to furnish a “sound anduniform currency.” Poe’s attitude is overt in hisearly satires, more subdued in “The Gold-Bug,”and almost an undercurrent in writings thatenter into and historicize the discovery of goldin California.

Attention : deux des titres ci-dessous sont desromans « documentés » !

CLINE, Sally, Dashiell Hammett : Man ofMystery, New York, Arcade Publishing, 2014,264 pages.Dashiell Hammett changed the face of crimefiction. In five novels published over five yearsas well as a string of stories, he transformedthe mystery genre into literature and left uswith the figure of the hard-boiled detective,from the Continental Op to SamSpade—immortalized on film by HumphreyBogart in The Maltese Falcon—and the moreglamorous Thin Man, also made iconic with theaid of Hollywood. A brilliant writer, Hammettwas a complex and enigmatic man. After 1934until his death in 1961, he published no morenovels and suffered from a writer’s block thatboth shamed and maimed him.

A dangerous maze of events takes Hammettfrom 1930s San Francisco to the glamorousHollywood of the 1940s, a federal penitentiaryat the time of the McCarthy hearings, andfinally to a fateful meeting on New Year’s Eve,1959, at a Long Island estate. There the dyingHammett confronts a woman from his past whoproves to be his most formidable rival.

MOONEY, William H., Dashiell Hammett andthe Movies, New Brunswick (NJ), RutgersUniversity Press, 2014, 224 pages.Dashiell Hammett and the Movies offers thefirst comprehensive look at Hammett’s broadoeuvre and how it was adapted into films fromthe 1930s all the way into the 1990s. Filmscholar William H. Mooney reveals the widerange of films crafted from the same Hammettnovels, as when The Maltese Falcon was filmedfirst as a pre-Code sexploitation movie, then asa Bette Davis screwball comedy, and finally asthe Humphrey Bogart classic. He also considershow Hammett rose to Hollywood fame notthrough the genre most associated with him,but through a much fizzier concoction, thewitty murder mystery The Thin Man. Todemonstrate the hold Hammett still has overcontemporary filmmakers, the book culminatesin an examination of the Coen brothers’pastiche Miller’s Crossing.

TOPEROFF, Sam, Lillian and Dash : A Novel,New York, Other Press, 2013, 400 pages.This exciting novel about Dashiell Hammett(The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man) andLillian Hellman (The Children’s Hour)reintroduces their larger-than-life personalitiesand the vicissitudes of their affair that spannedthree decades.

In Rethinking the Femme Fatale inFilm Noir, Julie Grossman shows the extent towhich the women often labelled as 'femmesfatales' are in fact sympathetic modern women,whose stories of strength, wit and privationcommand fascination. This study undertakes toerode the category of the 'femme fatale' infavour of careful close readings of film noir and

a larger consideration of the drawbacks oflabelling women as angels and 'femmesfatales', a perverse cultural inheritance fromthe Victorian era.

Influenced by Henri-Georges Clouzot and Alfred Hitchcock, Hammercreated its own approach to this genre in someof the company’s very best films.__This booktakes a chronological, film-by-film approach toall of Hammer’s thrillers. Well-known classicssuch as Seth Holt’s The Nanny (1965) andTaste of Fear (1961) are discussed, togetherwith less well known but equally brilliant filmssuch as The Full Treatment (dir. Val Guest,1960) and Michael Carreras’ Maniac (1963).The films’ literary ancestry, reflection of Britishsociety and relation to psychological theories ofFreud and Jung, architectural metaphor,sexuality, religion, and even Nazi atrocities areall fully explored.

one last big score, The Heist Film: StealingWith Style traces this crime thriller'sdevelopment as both a dramatic and comicvehicle growing out of film noir ( Criss Cross,The Killers, The Asphalt Jungle), mutating intosleek capers in the 1960s ( Ocean's Eleven,Gambit, How to Steal a Million) and splashingacross screens in the 2000s in remake afterremake ( The Thomas Crown Affair, The ItalianJob, The Good Thief). Built around a series ofcase studies ( Rififi, Bob le Flambeur, T h eKilling, The Lavender Hill Mob, The Getaway,the Ocean's trilogy), this volume explores whydirectors of such varied backgrounds, fromstudio regulars (Siodmak, Crichton, Siegel,Walsh and Wise) to independents (Anderson,Fuller, Kubrick, Ritchie and Soderbergh), are sodrawn to this popular genre.

Alsoincluded in this examination are more recentventures, such as modern classics The Griftersand Martin Scorsese’s The Departed.

Wells parus entre 1895-1901. En lesréunissant pour la première fois comme unensemble cohérent, cet ouvrage montrel’importance de cette thématique de l’utopiepour le sociologue. Ce volume présenteplusieurs intérêts. Il permet aux chercheurs –historiens, littéraires, sociologue, anthropo-logue ou politistes – de découvrir des analysesinattendues de ces textes canoniques, et unedéfinition renouvelée de ce qui apparaît nonpas comme le seul genre littéraire de l’« utopie», mais bien une pratique sociale et une formede connaissance.

Literary Studies), 2013, 241 pages.Throughout nineteenth-century Britain, femalewriters excelled within the genre ofsupernatural literature. Much of their shortfiction and poetry uses ghosts as figures tosymbolize the problems of gender, class,economics, and imperialism, thus making theirsupernatural literature something more thanjust a good scare. Women’s Ghost Literature inNineteenth-Century Britain recovers and analyzes fora new audience this “social supernatural” ghostliterature, as well as the lives and literarycareers of the women who wrote it.

GIBSON, Matthew, The Fantastic andEuropean Gothic : History, Literature andthe French Revolution, Cardiff, University ofWales Press, (Gothic Literary Studies), 2013,243 pages.This book examines the rise of Fantasticliterature on the continent in the nineteenthcentury, the development of a European Gothicand the influence which this exerted on Britishwriters. By examining writers like Nodier,Hoffmann, Gautier, Feval and Stevenson, thebook argues firstly how their writings subvertentirely the view of the Fantastic accepted byTodorov, Punter and others, to show that it isthe reversal of a pre-Enlightenment, spiritualworld-view which causes terror in these works,and further demonstrates that Gothic novelsfrequently use allusion and anachronism toportray a cyclical view of history opposed tothat of Scott.

GOMEL, Elana, Narrative Space and Time ;Representing the Impossible Topologies inLiterature, New York, Routledge, 2014, 236pages.Impossible topologies abound in ancientmythologies, from the Australian Aborigines’"dream-time" to the multiple-layer universe ofthe Sumerians. More recently, from Alice’sadventures in Wonderland to contemporaryscience fiction’s obsession with black holes andquantum paradoxes, counter-intuitive spacesare a prominent feature of modern andpostmodern narrative. With the rise andpopularization of science fiction, theinventiveness and variety of impossiblenarrative spaces explodes. The author analysesthe narrative techniques used to representsuch spaces alongside their culturalsignificance. Each chapter connects narrativedeformation of space with historicalproblematic of time, and demonstrates thecognitive and perceptual primacy of narrativein representing, imagining and apprehendingnew forms of space and time.

GOMEL, Elena, Science Fiction, AlienEncounters, and the Ethics of Posthu-manism: Beyond the Golden Rule, NewYork, Palgrave Macmillan, 2014, 248 pages.This book brings together two importantcultural trends: alien encounters andposthumanism. By considering scenarios ofencounters with intelligent aliens in literaryscience fiction, Science Fiction, AlienEncounters, and the Ethics of Posthumanismargues that the ethics of empathy and politicsof human rights are insufficient to meet thechallenges of our posthuman age. Rather,posthumanism requires an ethics oftransformation, in which the encounter with theOther remakes the human subject. The bookoffers a typology of alien encounters andaddresses a wide range of texts. Its scopeincludes, but is not limited to, classic novels ofalien encounter by H.G. Wells and RobertHeinlein; recent blockbusters by Greg Bear,Octavia Butler and Sheri Tepper; andexperimental science fiction by Peter Watts andHousuke Nojiri. It also contains an extensivediscussion of Soviet science fiction and of thenovels of Stanislaw Lem, bringing importantaspects of global posthumanist culture to theattention of the Anglo-American reader.

KILLEEN, Jarlath, The Emergence of IrishFiction in Irish Gothic Fiction : History,Origins, Theories, Edinburgh, EdinburghUniversity Press, 2014, vii, 240 pages.By providing a fully historicized account of thebeginnings of the genre in Ireland, the bookalso addresses the theoretical controversiesthat have bedevilled discussion of the Irishgothic in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Thebook gives ample space to the critical debate,and rigorously defends a reading of the Irishgothic as an Anglican, Patriot tradition. Thisreading demonstrates the connections betweenlittle-known Irish gothic fictions of the mid-eighteenth century (The Adventures of MissSophia Berkley and Longsword), and the Irishgothic tradition more generally, and also thegothic as a genre of global significance.

LAKE, Christina Bieber, Prophets of thePosthuman : American Fiction, Biotech-nology and the Ethics of Personhood, NotreDame (Indiana), University of Notre DamePress, 2013, 256 pages.Prophets of the Posthuman provides a freshand original reading of fictional narratives thatraise the question of what it means to behuman in the face of rapidly developingbioenhancement technologies. Christina BieberLake argues that works by NathanielHawthorne, Walker Percy, Flannery O'Connor,Toni Morrison, George Saunders, MarilynneRobinson, Raymond Carver, James Tiptree, Jr.,and Margaret Atwood must be reevaluated inlight of their contributions to larger ethicalquestions. Drawing on a wide range of sourcesin philosophical and theological ethics, Lakeargues that these writers share a commitmentto maintaining a category of personhood moremeaningful than that allowed by utilitarianethics. Prophets of the Posthuman insists thatbecause technology can never ask whether weshould do something that we have the power todo, literature must step into that role.

LUTSCHEWITZ, Dirk, Stoker’s Dracula andthe Vampire Genre, Heidelberg, BWB Verlagund Mediendienste, 2014, vii, 257 pages.Dracula," the most famous vampire tale of alltime, is more than merely a single work. Thenarrative of the undead Count fromTransylvania, who moves to England in searchof new victims, has become one of the mostpopular and well-known myths in contemporaryculture - a story which exists in severalversions. Apart from Bram Stoker's originalnovel (1897), numerous film adaptations, inparticular Tod Browning's 1931 classic starringBela Lugosi, have profoundly shaped the

Western world's notions of the vampire figure.However, the Dracula myth does not originatewith Stoker and Browning but rather is itselfdeeply rooted in a dark and intriguing literarytradition, which includes masterpieces such asGoethe's "The Bride of Corinth" (1797), JohnPolidori's "The Vampyre" (1819), and SheridanLe Fanu's "Carmilla" (1871). In this intertextualapproach to "Dracula," Dirk Lutschewitzanalyzes the complex position of Stoker's novelvis-à-vis both its literary precursors and its filmadaptations. Focusing on how the variousnovels, short stories, poems, and movies dealwith the genre's archetypal conflict betweengood and evil, he traces the extraordinaryevolution of the vampire in literature and film.In addition to the landmarks mentioned above,the often-neglected horror series "Varney theVampyre" (1847) and the Dracula movies byF.W. Murnau (1922), Terence Fisher (1958),Werner Herzog (1979), and Francis FordCoppola (1992) are examined.

The genre of Fantasy(including Science Fiction and its various sub-genres in TV, film & computer games) hasnever been more popular. This book seeks toexamine why this might be and why so manyare tempted to write Fantasy fiction. Tolkiensuggested how 'consolation' is an importantcriteria of the Fairy Tale: we look at howwriting Fantasy can be consoling in itself, aswell as a portal to Fantastic Realms for thereader. Along the way famous dragons ofmyth, legend and fiction will be encountered -from Grendel to Smaug. The riddles of dragonswill be tackled and their hoard unlocked.

AsMatthew A. Taylor’s incisive readings reveal,the heterodox cosmologies of Edgar Allan Poe,Henry Adams, Charles Chesnutt, and ZoraNeale Hurston reject the anthropocentricfantasy that sees the universe as a kind ofreservoir of self-realization. For these authors,the world can be made neither “other” nor“mirror.” Instead, humans are enmeshed with“alien” processes that are both constitutive anddestructive of “us.” By envisioning universes nolonger our own, these cosmologies picture aform of interconnectedness that denies anyhuman ability to master it.

TROCHA, Bogda, Aleksander RZYMAN, TomaszRATAJCZAK, (eds.), In the Mirror of thePast : Of Fantasy and History, Cambridge,Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2013, 104pages.These days, we are ever more often confrontedby overwhelming events. Searching for a wayto understand them, we turn to mythicarchetypes still present in our culture. Theauthors of these essays pose questions aboutthe reliability of the archetypes found intradition, history, and scattered mythologemes.The essays in this collection deal with thepresence of mythic time in modern speculativefiction, such as fantasy and alternate histories,and discuss major mythologemes and theirfunctions in popular literature and extra-literaryreality. The authors show how mythopoeicfiction becomes a (genetically) modified mythicmirror in which we hope to see answers tovexing questions, or just a reality superior tothe ordinary one. In the Mirror of the Past: OfFantasy and History is a collection of sevenessays by American and Polish authors,including Brian Attebery, Terri Doughty, andMarek Oziewicz, with Mircea Eliade s concept ofreturn from history to History as theirunderlying theme.

FRANKEL Estelle Valerie, Women in Game ofThrones : Power, Conformity and Resis-tance, Jefferson, McFarland, 2014, 277 pages.This book analyzes the women and theirportrayals one by one, along with theirhistorical inspirations. Accompanying issues intelevision studies also appear, from the malegaze to depiction of race. How these charactersare treated in the series and how they treatthemselves becomes central, as many strip forthe pleasure of men or are sacrificed as pawns.Some nude scenes or moments of maleviolence are fetishized and filmed to tantalize,while others show the women’s trauma andattempt to identify with the scene’s femaleperspective. The key is whether the charactersbreak out of their traditional roles and becomemultidimensional.

JEFFERS, Susan, Arda Inhabited :Environmental Relationships in The Lordof the Rings, Kent (Ohio), Kent StateUniversity Press, 2014, 128 pages.Susan Jeffers looks at the way different groupsand individuals in The Lord of the Rings interactwith their environments. Drawing substantiallyon ecocritical theory, she argues that there arethree main ways these groups relate to theirsetting: power with, power from, and powerover. Ents, Hobbits, and Elves have power withtheir environments. Dwarves and Men drawpower from their place, interacting with theworld symbolically or dialectically. Sauron,Saruman, and Orcs all stand as examples ofnarcissistic solipsism that attempts to exercisepower over the environment. Jeffers furtherconsiders how wanderers in Middle-Earthinteract with the world in light of these threecategories and examines how these

35

relationships reflect Tolkien’s own moralparadigm.
