This study examines representations of the cityscape and of a
so-called "new urban violence" in both detective-centered and
detectiveless crime fiction produced in Spanish America and Spain
during recent decades. It documents the emergence and permutations
of this production as an index not only of local perceptions of
contemporary urban experience and of a contemporary urban "ecology
of fear," but also as a transnational index of the globalization of
literary forms and markets. It centers on the inscription of urban
space in novels set in the metropolitan centers of the Hispanic
World: Mexico City, Bogota, Buenos Aires, and Barcelona.
