Hauptseminar
Crime and Punishment
Thomas Dikant
Kommentar
In this seminar, we will study how narratives represent crime and its consequent punishment, focusing in particular on the spectacular crime of murder. We will engage with a broad range of texts from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century, discussing fictional and true crime narratives, criminal anthropology, philosophy, and critical theory. While the crime of murder is especially prominent in detective fiction, we will pay particular attention to narratives that feature more than just the criminal investigation and ask unsettling questions about criminality and justice. Our readings will include Herman Melville’s Billy Budd, Sailor, Richard Wright’s Native Son, and Maggie Nelson’s The Red Parts, as well as theoretical writings by Cesare Lombroso, Michel Foucault, and Mark Seltzer.
