Whose Body?: Recognizing Feminist Detective Fiction
Whose body makes it possible to identify mystery and detective fiction as
feminist? Author's? Victim's? Reader's? Detective's? Text's?
Though even internet bookstores know that "women" and "detective fiction" go
together, recognizing all that their linkage implies remains a challenging
task. We solicit papers that complicate notions of what constitutes
feminism in mystery and detective fiction, finding it in unexpected as well
as in more familiar places.
Papers might consider such issues as: money, food, skin, class, politics,
clothes, ethnicity, health, sexuality, geography, art, authorship, family,
legality, neighborhood, language, race, age, wounds, weapons, loves, jobs,
gender, style, evidence, readership, historicity, queerness, technology, cars.
