Detective fiction has been described as "exhausted" in terms of plot development and types of detectives. It provides an interesting window into how various forms of plot and narrative areas develop, then cease to exist. This course will look at how literary theory was developed side by side with detective fiction in modern and contemporary Japan. This course is part of the Social, Cultural, and Critical Theory Certificate. |
