Abstract:

Crime narratives form a large and central part of the modern cultural
landscape. This book explores the cognitive stylistic processing of prose and
audiovisual fictional crime 'texts'. It also examines instances where such
narratives find themselves, through popular demand, 'migrating' - meaning that
they cross languages, media formats and/or cultures.

In doing so, 'Crime Fiction Migration' proposes a move from a monomodal to a
multimodal approach to the study of crime fiction. Examining original crime
fiction works alongside their translations, adaptations and remakings proves
instrumental in understanding how various semiotic modes interact with one
another. The book analyses works such as 'We Need to Talk About Kevin', 'The
Killing' trilogy and the reimaginings of plays such as 'Shear Madness' and
films such as 'Funny Games.'

Crime fiction is consistently popular and 'on the move' - witness the spate of
detective series exported out of Scandinavia, or the ever popular exporting of
these shows from the USA. This multimodal and semiotically-aware analysis of
global crime narratives expands the discipline and is key reading for students
of linguistics, criminology, literature and film.
