Campbell and Farred range across philosophy, literature, and contemporary comedy to uncover spaces where the dispossession of self and, with it, the dismantling of the regime of self-care are possible"--Provided by publisher.Thinking Theory SeriesSelf-perceptionfast(OCoLC)fst01111797Self-evaluationfast(OCoLC)fst01111715Comedyfast(OCoLC)fst00869083ComedySelf-evaluationSelf-perceptionElectronic books.

By framing the genre as a shifting set of values, definitions, and practices, the book historicizes the contested meanings of analytical categories like class, race, gender, nation, and empire that have been applied to the forms and functions of detection. Three organizing themes structure this investigation: fictive facticity, genre fluidity, and conservative modernity. This volume thus shows how British detective fiction from the late-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century both shaped and was shaped by its social, cultural, and political contexts and the lived experience of its authors and readers at critical moments in time.Crime Files,2947-8359FictionLiterature, Modern20th centuryLiteratureHistory and criticismMass media and crimeEthnologyGreat BritainCultureEuropeHistoryFiction LiteratureTwentieth-Century LiteratureLiterary HistoryCrime and the MediaBritish CultureEuropean HistoryFiction.Literature, ModernLiteratureHistory and criticism.Mass media and crime.EthnologyCulture.EuropeHistory.Fiction Literature.Twentieth-Century Literature.Literary History.Crime and the Media.British Culture.European History.809.3823.087209Mayhall Laura E.
