Full textThis discourse is important because detective novels are considered popular literature and thus a mass product designed to favor commercial instead of literary claims. Thus, the focus is placed on the development of the two protagonists, on their lives as detectives and as black women, in order to find out whether or not and how the genre influences the depiction of Afro-American experiences. It appears that both of these detective series represent Afro-American culture in different ways, which confirms a heterogenic development of this ethnic group. However, the protagonist's search for identity and their relationships to white people could be identified as a major unifying claim of Afro-American literature.
With differing intensity, the authors Neely and Wesley provide the white or mainstream reader with insight into their culture and confront the reader's ignorance of black culture. In light of this, it is a great achievement that Neely and Wesley have reached not only a black audience but also a growing number of white readers.
Im Mittelpunkt dieser Arbeit stehen die Detektivserien der afroamerikanischen Autorinnen Barbara Neely und Valerie Wilson Wesley. Die Blanche White Mysteries von Neely und die Tamara Hayle Mysteries von Wesley repräsentieren mit der Einführung der schwarzen Hausangestellten Blanche White als Amateurdetektivin und der schwarzen Privatdetektivin Tamara Hayle nicht nur hinsichtlich der innerhalb der letzten zwanzig Jahre erschienen Welle von Kriminalautorinnen mit weiblichen Detektiven eine Innovation, sondern auch bezüglich der mit diesen Hauptfiguren verbundenen Auseinandersetzungen mit Klassenstatus und Rassismus.
Die bisher erschienen Detektivromane beider Serien werden in dieser Arbeit im Hinblick auf ihre Präsentation der Erfahrungen der Afroamerikaner in den USA der 1990er Jahre untersucht. Da Detektivromane der Populärliteratur zugerechnet werden und entsprechend ihrer Befriedigung von Massenansprüchen "produziert" werden, war die Fragestellung, ob in den genannten Detektivserien diese Hinwendung zur Mainstreamkultur mit einer verringerten Darstellung der afroamerikanischen Probleme und Lebensweise verbunden ist. Bei der Analyse der Serien wurde deshalb der Entwicklung der Protagonistinnen als Detektivinnen und als schwarze Frauen sowie der Wirkung ihrer Erzählerstimme besondere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt.
Die beiden Serien repräsentieren die afroamerikanische Kultur auf unterschiedlichen Erfahrungsstufen, woran erkennbar ist, dass die afroamerikanische Bevölkerung in den USA keine homogene Gruppe darstellt. Ausschlaggebend für das Erreichen des Anspruchs der Afroamerikaner an ihre Literatur scheint die Auseinandersetzung mit Fragen der Identitätsfindung der schwarzen Protagonistinnen und der Beziehungen zwischen Schwarzen und Weißen zu sein. Den Autorinnen gelingt es in unterschiedlichem Maße den weißen und somit Mainstream-Lesern nicht nur einen Einblick in ihre Kultur zu vermitteln, sondern vielmehr, sie direkt mit ihrer Ignoranz gegenüber dieser schwarzen Kultur zu konfrontieren. Neelys und Wesleys große Leistung ist, dass die Stimmen ihrer Protagonistinnen sowohl ein zahlreiches schwarzes als auch ein wachsendes weißes Publikum erreichen.

Full textMystery novels and literary geography have not often intersected. Crime fiction, for instance, has frequently been examined in terms of temporality, rather than in terms of spatiality. Todorov, in this respect, argues that crime narratives, in particular the clue-puzzle forms, are constructed on a temporal duality: the story of the crime – tells what really happened, and the story of the detective’s investigation – the way the detective/narrator presents it to the reader. The two stories eventually converge when the sleuth unmasks the murderer (Todorov 1977). The aim of the research is to read Agatha Christie’s whodunit mysteries as centrally concerned with space, considering that, to quote Geoffrey Hartman, “to solve a crime in detective stories means to give it an exact location” (Hartman 2004). The study focuses on the spatial dimension of Agatha Christie’s detective fiction, shedding a light on her domesticated milieus, both real and fictive. The first to be analysed is rural England, presenting both the narrations where the English country house – a Victorian or a Georgian mansion – functions as the only setting prevailing over the local geography, and her fictional villages, apparent idyllic paradises which offer no refuge from the cruelties of the world. Similarly, the study takes into consideration the urban settings with a special attention devoted to the city of London which becomes the epitome of a privileged lifestyle. The city space appears as dangerous as the country side village. Subsequently the research moves outside the British borders, but within the confines of the enormous British Empire, with narratives set in foreign and exotic geographies. The study analyses Christie’s “colonial” novels, where the Middle East is portrayed as a space of otherness. In conclusion, the research investigates the train as a non-place, working on those narratives set in transit. All of these settings present a precise point in common, what has come to be called the closed circle of suspects. Whether in England or in the Middle East, the accent is laid on the domestic sphere of the setting, which conveys the uncanny feeling that the murderer is “one of us”. [edited by author]
