偵探敘事在台灣文學場域上的發生與形成，其意義指涉著一種新興通俗文類的移植與開展、深化與轉化的現象。偵探敘事的範圍，涵括的不只是由作家創作的虛構小說，也可能是西方偵探小說的翻譯介紹、強調真人實事的筆記體裁、對西方偵探小說的臨摹改寫，甚且可能是反偵探敘事的仿諷等等。偵探敘事作為一種通俗文類，尤其是其敘事成規與意識型態原是以西方偵探小說為主要源流的情形下，如何進入台灣的文學場域?進而在台灣「發生」?如何「形成」?彼時台灣的大眾，如何接受、消化、吸收、甚至享受這種新興文類?偵探敘事雖是新興文類，其與過去的種種文學創作傳統有所承繼?偵探敘事的興起，至偵探小說的完成，與彼時台灣人們的精神生活、娛樂生活有何關聯?塑造出怎麼樣的文化圖景?偵探敘事在台灣的發生點與關鍵點的摸索，都是本文主要關懷所在。 本文共計六章。第一章緒論，為全文框架說明。第二章偵探敘事生成的社會╱文學脈絡，由外緣與內緣進行偵探敘事發生空間的建構，說明大眾媒體、通俗文化、社會版新聞與偵探敘事形成的關聯，以中國傳統公案小說與日本的犯罪小說作為台灣偵探敘事的內在源流及期待視野的意義。第三章偵探敘事的起點，討論台灣文學場域上的偵探敘事發生的開端。這開始並非固著性的起點，而是每一次文本敘事取徑的參考點。本章分別就日治初期報紙上漢文、和文的偵探敘事、「實話」系統的寫作及西方偵探小說譯介的情況加以考察。第四章偵探敘事的小說化，日治時期台灣偵探敘事由實向虛、由翻譯到創作，呈現小說化的進程。由翻譯改寫到「連作」合寫、以及俠義章回化小說的偵探敘事，標誌了偵探敘事文類在台灣的實踐已臻成熟，乃至於滑稽模仿與兒童故事的再呈現，是其敘事成規反向思考及向外滲透，由此考察偵探敘事虛構化的進程。第五章偵探敘事生成的文化圖景，由作者、文本、讀者三個面向，分別討論偵探敘事的生成中所呈現的文化意義，殖民性、現代性與通俗性在敘事文本中的展現。第六章結論，總結全文，並且開啟未來研究的可能性。 / In my thesis on detective narrative in Taiwan under Japanese colonization, I focus on the emergence and evolvement of the new popular genre to clarify how people accept, adapt and appropriate the western-stemmed genre into local fiction. The era under Japanese colonization between 1895 and 1945 was a beginning of novelty and innovation; however, it was not the end of tradition and convention. Both cultures of late Qing China and late Meiji Japan, as well as western modern civilization introduced into Taiwan by China and Japan, all made colonial Taiwan an arena of modernity, coloniality and traditional values. I drew attention to popular literature and culture, another dimension different from the elite or high literature and was buried under the canonized discourse of resistance and decolonization in Taiwanese literary studies. The popular fiction in Taiwan reveals the subconsciousness hidden in the society at the turning point of modernization and colonization. First of all, I start my survey from the social and literary context of emergence of detective narrative in Taiwan by mentioning the formation of modern mass media in nineteenth century Taiwan as well as the literary tradition of Chinese and Japanese literature, Gongan fiction and crime fictions. This part helps me to clarify the literay field of the emergence of detective narrative. Secondly, I pinpoint three starting-points of the emergence of detective narrative: Japanese and Chinese detective fictions in newspapers in early Japanese colonization, the police procedural, as well as the translation and introduction of modern western detective fiction. Thirdly, I point out some milestones of fictionization of detective narrative in Taiwan, including the form of “translation-rewriting”, the collaboration of several writers, the chivalric novelization, the children’s stories and the parody of western detective convention. Finally, I examine the cultural visions in the emergence and evolvement of detective narrative in Taiwan during Japanese ruling period through three aspects: the writers, the texts and the readers’ aspects and explore the coloniality, modernity and the popularity of the new popular genre in Taiwan.

Cette thèse a pour objectif d’étudier la présence, dans l’œuvre de Robbe-Grillet, de personnages stéréotypés récupérés de la paralittérature. Les stéréotypes dont il sera question dans ce travail sont : le solitaire romantique, l’errant citadin, le justicier criminel, le détective, le tueur, le trio des romans de la jalousie, la prostituée, le voyeur pervers, la stripteaseuse et le conteur. Au terme de cette "exploration", nous arriverons à la conclusion suivante : dans son ensemble, l’œuvre de Robbe-Grillet est ancrée dans la stéréotypie. Cependant, nous découvrirons qu’il ne s’agit pas là d’une apologie du stéréotype. Mais simplement d’une prise en compte de son action dans la culture contemporaine et du rôle de celle-ci dans l’élaboration du discours de l’œuvre. / This thesis aims at investigating the presence of stereotypical characters in the work of Robbe-Grillet retrieved from the paralitterature. Stereotypes that will be discussed in this work are: the romantic loner, wandering the city, the vigilante crime, the detective, the killer, the trio of novels of the jealousy, the prostitute, the perverse voyeur, the stripper, and the storyteller. After this “exploration”, we reach the flowing conclusion: as a whole, the work of Robbe-Grillet is rooted in the stereotype. However, we will discover that this is not an apology for stereotype. But simply taking into account its action in contemporary culture and the role of the latter in the elaboration discourse of the work.

Le motif de la « chambre close », considéré comme emblématique du roman policier, a été exploité par de nombreux écrivains depuis le XIXe siècle. Chez les pères fondateurs du genre, tels Edgar Allan Poe et Arthur Conan Doyle, il s’est d’abord incarné sous une forme simple, celle d’un mécanisme permettant la mise en scène d’un « défi à la raison » (Christiane Cadet, 2008), avant de se complexifier à la Belle Époque. Sous la plume de Gaston Leroux, la simplicité cède la place à l’hybridité alors que la « chambre close », en s’emplissant d’un étonnant parfum de femme, devient le lieu où se croisent le crime et la passion, le privé et le public, la raison et la superstition. Dans Le Mystère de la chambre jaune (1907) et Le Fantôme de l’Opéra (1910), le romancier articule ses intrigues autour d’espaces atypiques, destinés à bouleverser les codes du genre policier. Ce mémoire s’attache ainsi à la manière dont un roman populaire, malgré son recours à un motif largement exploité, peut déplacer et transgresser l’horizon d’attente auquel il est associé. Plutôt que d’être figée à la manière d’un cliché photographique, la « chambre close » évolue sans cesse dans les récits à l’étude. Influencée par le phénomène d’hybridité générique qui sous-tend les romans, elle se dote de nouvelles significations qui la singularisent par rapport à l’emploi qu’en ont fait les prédécesseurs. En s’intéressant, dans un premier temps, à la trajectoire empruntée par les corps féminins et à leur influence sur les décors et, dans un deuxième temps, à la manière dont l’espace canalise un certain imaginaire propre à la littérature du XIXe siècle, il s’agira de voir comment Leroux parvient à faire éclater les murs d’un lieu qui, jusqu’alors, était clos « comme un coffre-fort » (Gaston Leroux, 1925). / The "locked room" concept, generally considered symbolic of detective fiction, has been used by many writers since the 19th century. Amongst the authors of the genre, it was integrated as a simple mechanism to generate a mental challenge for the reader (Thomas Narcejac, 1975). The concept became more complex with the advent of the Belle Époque. The "locked room", under Gaston Leroux’s influence, became the central place where crime and passion, public and private, reason and superstition meet, when filled with the perfume of a woman. In The Mystery of the Yellow Room (1907) and The Phantom of the Opera (1910), Gaston Leroux built his intrigues around atypical "locked rooms" with the intent of upending the codes of detective fiction. This research focuses on the elements through which a popular novel can break its commonly associated expectations, despite the use of a widely exploited pattern. Instead of being frozen in time, the "locked room" is always evolving ; influenced by the novels’ underlying generic hybridity, it acquires new meanings that distinguish it from its predecessors. By first focusing on the path of female bodies and their influence on the decor, and then on the way the "locked room" reuses components associated with literature from the 19th century, we will see how Leroux manages to break the walls of a place that has been considered as closed as a safe (Gaston Leroux, 1925).

L’objectif de cette Thèse consiste à accroître nos connaissances sur la société argentine par une approche particulière. Nous sommes persuadés que la littérature policière est une métaphore de la société contemporaine et qu’à travers son analyse nous parviendrons à mieux comprendre son fonctionnement. Notre travail ne cherche pas à donner une vision globale du genre mais à confronter la production dans deux étapes critiques de l’histoire argentine : la Décennie Infâme (1930-1943) et la crise postménémiste (de 1999 à nos jours). Suivant le modèle créé par Karl Marx (« Le 18 brumaire de Louis Bonaparte ») nous les avons appelées Tragédie et Farce. En effet, nos recherches nous ont permis de découvrir les résonances qui existent entre les deux périodes. Cette Thèse s’inscrit dans le cadre de la sociocritique. La lecture socio-historique des textes nous fera passer en revue tout le vingtième siècle, des préceptes modernistes du Siècle des Lumières à l’hypermodernisme de Gilles Lipovetsky ou à la modernité liquide de Zygmunt Bauman. Nous avons organisé notre travail selon trois éléments principaux et indissociables : la ville, la figure du détective et la société ; à travers ces pages nous avons suivi leur évolution. / The objective of this Thesis is to increase our knowledge of Argentinian society by a specific approach. We are convinced that detective literature is a metaphor of the contemporary society and that through its analysis we will arrive at a better understanding of it. Our work does not seek to give a comprehensive view of this literature but to confront literary production with two critical periods of Argentinian history: the Infamous Decade (1930-1943) and the post-Menemist crisis. Following the model created by Karl Marx (“The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoléon”) we have called them Tragedy and Farce. Our research shows the resonances between these two periods. Our research consists of a sociological approach. A sociohistorical reading of the literary texts brings us to review the whole of the twentieth century, from the modernistic precepts of the Age of Enlightenment to the hypermodernism of Gilles Lipovetsky or the liquid modernity of Zygmunt Bauman. We have organized our work according to three principal and indissociable elements: the city, the figure of the detective and the society; throughout these pages we have followed their evolution.

Les mines sous marines sont très utilisées dans les conflits. Pour contrer cette menace, les marines s'équipent de moyens de lutte anti-mine autonomes afin d'éviter l'intervention humaine. Une mission de guerre des mines se découpe en quatre étapes distinctes : la détection des objets, la classification et l'identification puis la neutralisation. Cette thèse propose des solutions algorithmiques pour l'étape d'identification par caméra vidéo. Le drone d'identification connaît la position approximative de l'objet à identifier. La première mission de ce drone est de re-détecter l'objet avant de le classifier et de l'identifier. Le milieu sous-marin perturbe les images acquises par la caméra (absorption, diffusion). Pour faciliter la détection et la reconnaissance (classification et identification), nous avons prétraité les images. Nous avons proposé deux méthodes de détection des objets. Tout d'abord nous modifions le spectre de l'image afin d'obtenir une image dans laquelle il est possible de détecter les contours des objets. Une seconde méthode a été développée à partir de la soustraction du fond, appris en début de séquence vidéo. Les résultats obtenus avec cette seconde méthode ont été comparés à une méthode existante. Lorsqu'il y a une détection, nous cherchons à reconnaître l'objet. Pour cela, nous utilisons la corrélation. Les images de référence ont été obtenues à partir d'images de synthèse 3D des mines. Pour les différentes méthodes utilisées, nous avons optimisés les résultats en utilisant les informations de navigation. En effet, selon les déplacements du drone, nous pouvons fixer des contraintes qui vont améliorer la détection et réduire le temps de calcul nécessaire à l'identification. / To avoid the underwater mine threat and to limit human interventions, navies use autonomous underwater vehicles. An underwater mine warfare mission is divided into four steps : object detection, classification, identification and neutralization. This PhD thesis proposes algorithmic solutions for the identification step done with a video camera. Thanks to the detection step, the identification vehicle knows approximately the object position. First, the vehicle has to detect and position this object exactly. Then it will be classified and identified. The underwater medium affects the images acquired with a video camera through absorption and scattering. The first step of our algorithm is to preprocess the images to help the detection and recognition (classification and identification) steps.We have proposed two detection methods. The first one consists in modifying image spectrum in order to obtain an image in which we will be able to detect edges of objects. The second method, based on region segmentation, has been developed from background subtraction methods. The background image has been learned at the beginning of the video when there is no object. The results of the latter have been compared to those obtained with a state-of-art method, on data acquired at sea. Once we have detected an object, we want to recognize it. For that, we use the correlation technique. The reference images have been obtained from 3D computer generated images of mines. This novel approach gives promising results. For each developed method, we have optimized the results through the use of navigational information. Indeed, depending on vehicle's motion, we can set constraints to improve the detection step and reduce processing time.

The diploma thesis deals with analysis of Pavel Kohout's Novels, which were formed in the period of seventies to the nineties. This analysis is focused especially on observation of criminal and detective motifs in novels Katyně, Kde je zakopán pes, Hodina tance a lásky and Hvězdná hodina vrahů. Due to the close interconnection of works and their author, the first part deals with the life of the writer, and emphasis is put on the period after the year 1968. The thesis also deals with the topic of criminal literature, with its development and with definition of rules, which could be found out within this kind of literature. Our intention is to analyze individual works in the terms of particular motifs and methods, which appears in Pavel Kohout's novels. The roles of the main characters and their action in connection with crime are analyzed in particular works. We also observe to what extent are the works influenced by rules and principles of criminal literature. To the characteristic feature of selected novels belongs especially the work with suspense and with reader's expectation. Key words: detective story, criminal literature, investigator, victim, motive, rules, expectation, perspective, composition, versatility

Text in English / The study unravels moral perversion in selected post-independence detective Shona novels. Moral perversion is a multi-faceted concept and the study focuses on corruption, sexual harassment, abuse of office, stealing, poaching and illegal manufacturing of intoxicating products as the key definers of moral perversion. Afrocentricity merged with Kawaida philosophy are the lenses used to pass critical judgements on the extent the selected literary practitioners portrayed literature rooted in the African ontological existence on moral perversion. Fictional works used as primary sources are Sajeni Chimedza (1984), Mutikitivha Dumbuzenene (1991), Munzwa mundove (1999) and Dandemutande, (1998). All the novels are set in the post-independence era in Zimbabwe when moral perversion is rife. The study is qualitative in nature and data was gathered using questionnaires and interviews from literary critics, publishers and novelists. Particular attention is paid on the causes of moral perversion, images of people in leadership positions and the implications of character assassination of leaders in relation to the development of purposeful literature. The study contends that moral insanity is an acknowledged problem in the post-independence era and novelists are portraying leaders as the chief culprits manning factionalism and unorthodox ways of acquiring resources at the expense of the majority of citizenry. Guided and informed by Afrocentricity, the study argues that novelists are raising pertinent issues although their views are myopic, simplistic and self-defeating because they are failing to see that the leaders are also victims who are victimizing other victims. Blaming the leadership on moral perversion ignoring the impact of colonialism, and neo-colonialism in shaping African personality creates more harm than good as this exonerates the imperialistic system of exploitation which impinges on African culture and personality. Therefore, the study argues that novelists erroneously blame individuals for the sins of a system. There is need to interrogate both external and internal factors to establish sustainable home-grown problem solving solutions to improve human condition and the development of functional literature in Africa. / African Languages / D.

[pt] No fim da década de 90, o mundo assistiu a um boom do romance policial. Na pós-modernidade, com a retomada dos gêneros literários, as narrativas de mistério ganham força e atingem o mercado editorial brasileiro. Mas o policial chega repaginado para o leitor. Não que os elementos da trama dedutiva ou do noir tenham desaparecido nas histórias contemporâneas, mas o formato conhecido e aceito pelo público vem sendo usado para aprofundar questões da sociedade contemporânea. A presente dissertação procura, portanto, mostrar como as narrativas policiais pensam a sociedade, enquanto lêem a cidade. Para isso, são privilegiados os livros escritos por Luiz Alfredo Garcia- Roza, com o delegado Espinosa como protagonista. Teorias sobre a vida nas metrópoles e a forma como o homem reage aos seus efeitos são articuladas na leitura das representações da cidade. O estudo começa ligando o nascimento do romance dedutivo e o surgimento do noir a grandes transformações que a sociedade e os centros urbanos sofriam naqueles momentos. E procura mostrar que a cidade é mais do que um simples cenário para as tramas se desenrolarem. Analisa a retomada do gênero na pós-modernidade e o desenvolvimento do policial no Brasil. E investiga, ainda, a presença do policial na Internet, percorrendo sites dedicados ao gênero. Tão ligada à paisagem urbana, as narrativas de mistério tomaram também o terreno virtual, aparentemente sem fronteiras. / [en] In the end of 90 s the world observe a boom of detective stories. In the post-modernity the literary kinds of narratives were very used again and the mystery stories were a success in the publisher market, even in Brazil, country where this kind of narrative never developed. But the detective stories, in this period, started to present some differences. Not that the classic elements weren t there, but, nowadays, they discuss aspects of the contemporary society. This work will observe how this kind of literature thinks the society and talk about the city life at the same time. The books of Luiz Alfredo Garcia- Roza, with Espinosa detective as the protagonist, were privileged in this work. Theories about the life in the contemporary cities and how people react to the effects of this kind of life were articulated with the reading of the metropolis representations. This study shows how the beginning of the detective stories were related with the big transformations that society were living in those days. The cities never were just a stage setting for the detective and his investigation. This work discuss this kind of narrative in the pos-modernity and the late success in the brazilian publisher market. And, because the detective narrative was always so connected with the city, the study observed too how those stories are in internet.

Emerged in Europe in the 19th century, these two novel subgenres has achieved a prominent position in the literary scene. Since its genesis, both historical and detective novels deal with the question of the search for truth. The objective of this study is to detect how the enigma element, when combined with a historical narrative, reorganizes the belief in the official version of historical events. This study does a comparative analysis of two novels: Agosto, written by the Brazilian Rubem Fonseca, and Santa Evita, written by the Argentinian Tomás Eloy Martinez. Written in the 90's, both noveis look back to the 50's historical events and characters. The research recovers the criticism of both Fonseca and Martinez work, and then examines the long and traditional uneasy relations between literature and history, from Aristotle to Linda Hutcheon's historiographic metafiction. By addressing the origins and transformations of both historical and detective novels, this dissertation shows the evolutions of the subgenres and also puts into dialogue current studies of the hybrid detective-historical novel. The analysis of Agosto and~ Santa Evita, following the methodology of Comparative Literature, focuses specially on the different ways how both novels are constructed. The results demonstrate that the enigma element, when inserted into a historical narrative, contributes to a destabilization of the official report, through a multifaceted view. However, each author's different narrative strategies reveal distinct effects of this destabilization which are discussed in the present study / Este trabalho discute os efeitos da hibridização entre o romance histórico e o romance policial, sob a perspectiva da contemporaneidade latino-americana. Surgidos na Europa, no século XIX, esses dois subgêneros do romance têm alcançado posição de destaque na cena literária. Como ambos, desde sua génese, gravitam em torno da questão da busca pela verdade, o objetivo deste trabalho é detectar como o elemento enigma, ao ser estruturado em uma narrativa de extração histórica, reorganiza a crença na versão oficial dos fetos. Para tanto o estudo faz uma análise comparativa dos romances Agosto, do brasileiro Rubem Fonseca, e Santa Evita, do argentino Tomás Eloy Martinez, que colocam o olhar dos anos 90 sobre acontecimentos e personagens históricos dos anos 50. O estudo recupera a critica sobre a obra dos dois autores para em seguida abordar as relações desde sempre intranquilas entre literatura e história, retomando o pensamento de Aristóteles até a perspectiva da metaficção historiográfica cunhada por Linda Hutcheon. Ao tratar das origens e transformações tanto do romance histórico quanto do romance policial, o trabalho mostra as transformações pelas quais os subgêneros têm passado e põe em diálogo estudos atuais sobre o híbrido policial-histórico. A análise das duas obras, que segue a metodologia da Literatura Comparada, focaliza principalmente as diferentes formas como os romances são construidos. Os resultados demonstram que o elemento enigma, ao ser inserido em uma narrativa de extração histórica, colabora para uma desestabilização do relato oficial, impregnando-o de multiplicidade. No entanto, as diferentes estratégias narrativas de cada autor apontam para efeitos distintos dessa desestabilização, que são discutidos no presente estudo

Nessa pesquisa apresentamos uma proposta didática pautada no uso da literatura no ensino de ciências a partir do uso de um gênero literário específico, o romance policial juvenil, no ensino da Investigação Científica. A obra utilizada como modelo é O caso da borboleta Atíria de Lúcia Machado de Almeida, que possui um enredo pautado em mistério e investigação policial e faz parte da Série Vaga Lume da editora Ática. As obras literárias que compõe a Série estão presentes nas salas de aula e bibliotecas escolares, desde a década de setenta e fazem parte do repertório de leitura de muitos alunos atualmente. Além disso, elas estão repletas de conteúdos que permeiam várias áreas do conhecimento. Um dos procedimentos utilizados de análise da obra foi o uso da semiótica de Greimas (1976) que procura estabelecer as relações sintáxicas no interior de um texto, podendo auxiliar em um trabalho de interpretação mais profunda. Também realizamos a análise do discurso tendo como aporte teórico Maingueneau (2006), que estabelece parâmetros que nos permitem avaliar as principais características e as condições de êxito para os gêneros do discurso, estudando o processo de produção da obra, tendo como base o contexto sociocultural, evidenciando elementos a serem considerados no processo de ensino-aprendizagem relacionados à estrutura da obra e ao contexto sociocultural em que ela está inserida. Com essas análises, notamos que a obra tem como foco a busca do conhecimento por meio da investigação, possibilitando a elaboração de propostas didáticas para o ensino da Investigação Científica. Sendo assim, elaboramos propostas didáticas com o uso da obra para a abordagem da investigação científica no ensino de ciências voltadas para nível do Ensino Fundamental II. Essas propostas foram aplicadas em uma escola da cidade de São Paulo com o objetivo de reformular e aprimorar as propostas, possibilitando seu uso em diversos contextos escolares de forma interdisciplinar. / In this research we propose a guided didactic use of literature in science education from the use of a specific literary genre, the crime novel, in Scientific Research\'s teaching. The book O caso da borboleta Atíria was used as a model, written by Lucia Machado de Almeida, in which story is based in mystery and police investigation and is part of the publisher Ática, in Vaga Lume collection. The Literary that make up this collection are present in classrooms and school libraries since the seventies and are part of the repertoire of many students currently reading. Moreover, they are filled with content that permeate many areas of knowledge. One of the procedures used for analysis of the work was the use of semiotics of Greimas (1976) who seeks to establish syntactic relations within a text, and may help in a deeper interpretation work. We also conducted the analysis of discourse based in Maingueneau\'s theory (2006), which sets parameters that allow us to assess the main characteristics and the conditions of success for speech genres, studying the production process of the work, based on the social and culture contexts, showing elements to be considered in the process of teaching and learning related to the structure of the work and to the context in which it is embedded. With those analyses, we note that the work has a focus on to the search for knowledge through research, allowing the preparation of didactic proposals for the Scientific Research teaching. Thus, we elaborate didactic proposals using the book to approach scientific research in science teaching aimed at the elementary school. These proposals have been implemented in a school in the city of São Paulo in order to reshape and refine the proposals, enabling its use in different school contexts in an interdisciplinary way.
