The Intellectual as a Detective: From Leonardo Sciascia to Roberto Saviano offers a fresh perspective on both Italian crime fiction and the role of the intellectual in Italian society. By analyzing the characterization of men of culture as investigators, this book addresses their social commitment in a period that goes from the Sixties to today. The connection it establishes between fiction and real life makes this book an interesting addition to the debate on crime literature and its social function in Italy. The detectives created by Sciascia, Eco, Pasolini, Saviano and other novelists foster a reflection on how the narrative aspect of characterization has been used in connection with a historical perspective. Thanks to its broad scope, not limited to a single author, this book can be studied in undergraduate and graduate classes on the Italian detective novel, and it can be a helpful resource for scholars interested in characterization and the transforming figure of the intellectual in Italian society.

This book is the most wide-ranging examination of the way in which Italian detective fiction in the last 20 years has become a means to articulate the changes in the social landscape of the country. While the relation between detective fiction and its setting has been extensively analysed in the Anglo-American critical tradition of the genre, no comparable study of the Italian giallo [the name used for crime fiction in Italy] exists to date. ]]>

Depuis 1990, le genre policier connaît un large succès aussi bien dans le monde de l'édition qu'auprès du public italien. Cette date marque un renouveau de ses formes, auquel a contribué, entre autres, la création du Gruppo 13 à Bologne. À côté du giallo s'est affirmée progressivement la catégorie plus hybride du noir. Le genre policier entend sonder le mystère, démasquer l'opacité du réel en pénétrant les non-dits de l'histoire pour en proposer une lecture dérangeante ; surgissent alors d'autres questionnements relevant, quant à eux, de pulsions plus subtiles, voire inconscientes. La perspective historique et herméneutique a élevé le roman au statut de nouveau roman social, capable, sous le couvert de situations vraisemblables, de simuler la réalité pour la comprendre autrement. L'écriture d'enquête se présente de plus en plus en Italie comme le champ de toutes les expérimentations grâce à l'utilisation de canaux de communication favorisant une réception plus large, mais aussi à l'hybridation avec d'autres formes d'expression (cinéma, théâtre, musique, télévision, BD). Cet ouvrage vise à comprendre les nouveaux enjeux du giallo/noir à l'origine de son succès. On y voit comment, à travers l'écriture de l'énigme, le giallo explore les côtés obscurs et complexes de l'Italie contemporaine. Since 1990, the crime genre is experiencing a great success both in the publishing world as with the Italian readership. This date is marked by a renewal of its forms, to which contributed among others the creation of the Gruppo 13 in Bologna. Next to the giallo has progressively affirmed itself the most hybrid category of the noir. The crime genre aims to probe mysteries, to unmask the real’s opacity by entering history’s unspoken resentments and proposing a disturbing reading of them. Other questions then arise from within more subtle, even unconscious impulses. Historical and hermeneutic perspectives have raised the novel to the status of a new social novel. It is now seen as…
