T3 4110 - Kiss Me Deadly: American Detective Fiction and Film Noir


This course explores American detective fiction and film noir, a term that refers to certain “black” or darkly-lit American films of the 1940s and 1950s. It will examine classic examples of detective fiction and film noir as well as more contemporary examples of neo-noir. Although the emphasis will be on the aesthetic character of the texts under discussion, we will also investigate their historical and socio-cultural conditions of possibility as well as related issues of race and class, gender and sexuality, nation and ethnicity.
