Focusing on contemporary crime narratives from different parts of
the world, this collection of essays explores the mobility of
crimes, criminals and investigators across social, cultural and
national borders. The essays argue that such border crossings
reflect on recent sociocultural transformations and geopolitical
anxieties to create an image of networked and interconnected
societies where crime is not easily contained. The book further
analyses crime texts' wider sociocultural and affective
significance by examining the global mobility of the genre itself
across cultures, languages and media. Underlining the global reach
and mobility of the crime genre, the collection analyses types and
representations of mobility in literary and visual crime
narratives, inviting comparisons between texts, crimes and
mobilities in a geographically diverse context. The collection
ultimately understands mobility as an object of study and a
critical lens through which transformations in our globalised world
can be examined.
