Translation pace and the temporal dynamics of transnational publishing the case of Nordic Noir
The Labyrinth
Jens Baggesen's The Labyrinth (1792-93) is a genre-bending and highly personal travel book that follows the young Danish author's journey, made in 1789, from Copenhagen through Germany to the Swiss border at Basel. In its outer form, it follows the conventions of travel writing: describing the cities, landscapes, and notable people encountered on the route, while also offering critical commentary on art, architecture, theatre, and literature, mix…

‘Arriving in Strange Places’
This article explores the status and functionality of passport and border control practices in contemporary migration literature, analysing such interfacing with the global passport regime as a “chronotope of movement control”. As a first step, it outlines the history of this chronotope and shows how movement control practices have impacted on the genre of the novel in various ways at least since the mid-eighteenth century. Having established thi…
On top of the world
Nordic Noir -crime fiction originating in the Nordic region -is one of the most significant international publishing success stories of the twenty-first century.Despite its importance, no one has mapped and analysed the circulation of Nordic Noir as world literature.The present study addresses this knowledge gap by quantitatively mapping the global translation flows of Nordic Noir during the period of its greatest international success, from 2000…
The Foreignizing Crime Novel
One of the most important trends in contemporary crime fiction is the proliferation and commercial success of crime novels written in English but set in foreign places and featuring foreign detectives—that is, the rise of the foreignizing crime novel. In spite of its prominence in the marketplace, the foreignizing crime novel has so far not been subjected to detailed analysis and has not been recognized as a distinctive crime fiction subgenre def…
That deep underground savage instinct' narratives of sacrifice and retribution in Agatha Christie's Appointment with Death
Appointment with Death (1938) poses a challenge to the longstanding critical practice of highlighting Agatha Christie’s lack of literary sophistication: her ‘workmanlike’ style, stereotypical settings, two-dimensional characters and ludic conception of the plot as a game that the author plays with the reader. This challenge is due not only to the Middle Eastern setting or the novel’s detailed psychoanalytical reading of domestic abuse, but also, …
Pierre Bayard and the Ironies of Detective Criticism
Pierre Bayard is a polarizing figure in contemporary French criticism: on the one hand, he is brilliant, innovative, and daring; on the other hand, he seems to delight in deception and sleight of hand, particularly in the way that he revisits, and arguably transvalorizes, theoretical discourse reminiscent, inter alia, of poststructuralism and deconstruction. In this article, we wish to reveal the double-sidedness of Bayard's new detective critici…
Mobile Criticism
Idiosyncratic to the core, French literary critic Pierre Bayard is a divisive figure commonly dismissed as lightweight or as a subverter of academic standards. In this article, we present an alternative view, arguing that Bayard's recent works constitute a systematic attempt to dismantle the dominant "textualist" paradigm of literary studies. We pursue this project across three clusters of experimentation in Bayard's critical writings, each of wh…
Henry Fielding’s Proposals for an Internal British Passport System
Although Henry Fielding's political writings have long generated considerable scholarly interest, his detailed proposals for an internal British passport system have so far been neglected. From the point of view of impact, this is not surprising; unlike his police reforms (Downie 114), Fielding's reflections on the benefits of restricting the mobility of the lower classes had little immediate or long-term legislative impact. Nor is this neglect s…
Passport Plots
This article analyses B. Traven's 1926 novel Das Totenschiff in the light of its persistent references to the emerging international passport system of the interwar period. Building on Bakhtin's concept of the chronotope, understood in this context as a principle of narrative organisation, I argue that these references can be analysed productively as a ‘chronotope of movement control’ – that is, an interface linking a specific historical movement…
Narratives of Resentment
This essay investigates the history and internal functioning of a specifically literary form of anti-Americanism that for more than two hundred years has played a key role in the propagation of negative images of the United States. Drawing on Dickens's Martin Chuzzlewit (1843-44), Duhamel's Scénes de la vie future (1930), and Graham Greene's The Quiet American (1955), it analyzes three major narrative paradigms of anti-Americanism literature: the…
Contrasting Visions
The great conversion about America that took place in European letters throughout the nineteenth century was characterized by a marked tendency towards polarization and routinely cast the NewWorld either as a “dream” or a “nightmare” (Arendt). This polarization was due in part, especially in the first half of the century, to the relative scarcity of reliable information about the United States. Yet the main reason was that writers and intellectua…
Anti-Americanism in European Literature
Pursues the hypothesis that fictional literature has been instrumental in the development and dissemination of European anti-Americanism from the early 1800s to today. Focusing on Britain, France and Germany, it offers analyses of a range of canonical literary works in which resentful hostility towards the United States is a predominant feature
The one great Hyperpower in the Sky’
In this article, three recent works by French, English and German authors are analysed as examples of anti-Americanism in contemporary European literature. Luc Lang's travel book, 11 septembre mon amour (2003), John Le Carré's spy novel, Absolute friends (2003) and Frank Schätzing's apocalyptic ‘eco-thriller’ Der Schwarm (2004) were all written in response to the ongoing ‘war on terror’, and each presents a remarkably antagonistic interpretation …
