Investigating Noir: Classic, Neo, Eco

Maxime McKenna

Kommentar

Private eyes, femmes fatales, petty crooks, con artists down on their luck, gloomy non-places and brooding underworlds. The tropes of noir are easy to name, but this popular narrative genre remains difficult to define despite its century-old appeal. In this seminar, we will examine three different periods in the U.S. American noir tradition: the classic era, the neo- or postmodern revival, and the contemporary flourishing of dark and gritty crime narratives with ecological themes. Along the way, we will pay close attention to how noir stories address sociopolitical problems and how their concerns have evolved over time. We will also critically engage a number of different theories of this enduring genre as we try to figure out what noir is. Most of the primary texts in this course are narrative, and we will compare how noir functions in film vs. literary fiction. However, we will also expand our scope to different forms of culture that might be considered noir. Among the questions we will try to answer together are: what value does noir have for the present? How does it address current issues, like climate change? Who gets included and who remains excluded from this pop-culture phenomenon? Schließen
