Die akademischen und präakademischen Lehrkräfte unter uns können sich freuen über Edward J. Rielly (ed.): Murder 101: Essays on the Teaching of Detective Fiction. Jefferson, N.C.: McFarland & Co. Aus der Verlagsanzeige: “Multi-disciplinary in scope, the essays cover teaching in the areas of literature, law, history, sociology, anthropology, architecture, gender studies, cultural studies, and literary theory. Also included are sample syllabi, writing assignments, questions for further discussion, reading lists, and further aids for course instruction” (Inhaltsverzeichnis).
Aber auch diejenigen dürfen sich freuen, die sich für die ‘Wirklichkeit’ des organisierten Verbrechens interessieren (und das sind bekanntlich nicht wenige): Carlo Morselli: Inside Criminal Networks. New York: Springer Science+Business Media 2009. Verlagsanzeige: “Rich with communication data, electronic surveillance material, and other law-enforcement investigative sources, case studies pursue a number of analytical paths into the partnerships, pecking orders, and situations in flux (e.g., street gang presence within drug distribution), and identify central challenges to research (e.g., are these failed networks if members are arrested?)”. Für die Süddeutsche (Print) mache ich mich jetzt der “Internet-Piraterie” schuldig, da ich auf die Voransicht bei Google hinweise.
Außerdem ein mordsmäßiger Dreibänder: Yvonne Jewkes (ed.): Crime and Media. Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications 2009. Die Verlagsanzeige sagt u. a. folgendes: “Volume I overviews the theoretical contours that have shaped the study of crime and the media and explores both production and consumption of crime-related media in the shape of news, documentary and current affairs, soap, sitcom and docudrama. Volume II explores notions of ‘newsworthiness’ and considers the news values that underpin media representations of crime. Volume III discusses the innovative media technologies and surveillance technologies that are changing all our lives”.
Peter Lang weiß noch nix, obwohl die LoC schon Datensätze hat: Bill Yousman: Prime Time Prisons on U.S. Tv: Representation of Incarceration. New York: Lang 2009; Louise Hardwick: New Approaches to Crime in French Literature, Culture and Film. New York: Lang 2009.
Genug für heute.
