Sophie Hannah’s Hurting Distance as Crime Trauma Fiction

2020

Rodi-Risberg addresses trauma’s generic border-crossing movement through Sophie Hannah’s socially conscious crime thriller Hurting Distance (2007), a trauma narrative of sexual violence and emotional abuse that can be referred to as crime trauma fiction because it incorporates and blends features of both genres. Rodi-Risberg’s main argument is that crime trauma fiction such as Hannah’s novel represents traumatic experience as politically significant by mobilising affect through its themes of violence as social critique. The chapter concludes that contemporary narratives of crime and trauma such as Hannah’s should be seen as an important locus not only for representing traumatic experience, …

Storia di Montalbano

2018

Questo libro raccoglie gli scritti che Gianfranco Marrone ha dedicato alla figura del commissario di polizia Salvo Montalbano: personaggio a tutto tondo di intramontabile successo, e modello di riferimento per numerosissimi avatar letterari, televisivi, mediatici. Tali scritti mettono alla prova i modelli d’analisi della semiotica su un ampio spettro ampio di opere e testi in costante dialogo fra loro (romanzi, film, fumetti, pietanze, itinerari turistici…), studiandoli ai loro diversi livelli e dimensioni del senso. Una ricostruzione al tempo stesso puntigliosa e profonda di un universo sociale e antropologico, geografico e ideologico – quello camilleriano e montalbanesco – che fatica a po…

French Fries, French Foxes and Crazy Frenchmen in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction (1994) and Roger Avary's Killing Zoe (1994) : Reading Hollywood “F…

2010

International audience; This article focuses on the representation of Frenchness in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and Roger Avary's Killing Zoe, which were both released in 1994 and made by directors who regularly collaborated at the time. The treatment of Frenchness is different in both films, Pulp Fiction containing several anecdotal references and one French character, while Killing Zoe takes place in France with an almost exclusively European cast. The representation of Frenchness in these films will be my starting point to determine the readings possible for a spectator who is or is not familiar with French and French culture. “Frenchness,” which Pierre Verdaguer has shown is genera…

Framing War and the Nonhuman in Science-Fiction Television: The Affective Politics of V

2020

This article investigates how war between humans and aliens is framed in the original and reimagined versions of the SF television series V and the affective responses and ethical considerations that these frames evoke. Inspired by the work of Judith Butler and Sarah Ahmed and by posthumanist thinking, I analyse how SF television takes part in the cultural formation of “livable lives” for both human and nonhuman beings. It is argued that the kinds of violence that art or the media, including fiction, represent matter for the formation of ethical and political responses to violence. peerReviewed

Introduction: The Pedagogical Obstacle of the Phenomenal Forms

2016

This book is a further development from a previous one, published only in Spanish, whose title can be translated as The Copernican turn and the social sciences (Villacanas de Castro, 2013). It was a philosophical work relating to a general epistemological problem lying at the heart of the social and natural sciences. On the other hand, the present volume is firmly rooted in pedagogy. This difference reflects the professional journey that I have made in the meantime, from being a Graduate Student at a Faculty of Philosophy to becoming a member of staff at a Faculty of Education, where I currently lecture and carry out research. Despite the various shifts brought about by this transition, an …
