Dott. Sidia Fiorato

Crime and the unconscious

The course aims at analysing the interconnections between the detective fiction genre and the investigation of the unconscious in English literature. From its inception, this genre has given expression to the mind and its aberrations; the literary analysis will be integrated to a psychological one in order to show how the novels put under discussion the genre’s tenet of the final restoration of social order. A specific focus will be devoted to the Victorian period, as the attention to the unconscious permeated the entire cultural milieu of the fin de siècle, while the postmodern re-reading of the period will highlight the fusion of personal identity with its artistic expression. Moreover, Margaret Millar’s novel will offer a deep insight into psychiatry and literature in the 1950s.
