Politics of sexuality in Slovenian crime fiction from »moderna« and Ljuba Prenner to the 21st CenturyPrimož Mlačnik, 2024, published scientific conference contribution abstract
Abstract: The first part of the lecture will weave together two
short theoretical introductions regarding the
relationship between sexuality and crime fiction,
focusing on the poetics of the genre(s) and, second,
the Western politics of sexuality. In the second part,
the lecture will present the historically contextualised
subject of sexuality or rather intimacy in Slovenian
literature in the period of »moderna« and two short
analyses of one of the first Slovenian crime stories,
Požigalec (1910; The Arsonist) and the first Slovenian
crime novel Neznani storilec: malomeščanska
kriminalna povest (1939; Unknown Perpetrator: a
provincial crime tale). In the context of politics of
sexuality, the lecture will lay bare a few distinctive
socio-historical representational patterns –
ideological themes found in stories of (women) writers
from »moderna« and contemporary Slovenian crime
fiction – that persist well into the 21st Century.
Keywords: poetics of crime fiction, politics of sexuality, Slovenian crime fiction
