It is unquestionable that enthusiastic readers of the noir genre seek out and follow these works for the themes of literary tension, for the fast and fluid handling of each plot, for the atmosphere of tension between political power and corruption, for the violence and injustice presented within an aesthetic of crime; but it is also true that these stories are sought out and read because they present the reality of the link that exists between norm and violence in 21st century society.

Produktbeschreibung
It is unquestionable that enthusiastic readers of the noir genre seek out and follow these works for the themes of literary tension, for the fast and fluid handling of each plot, for the atmosphere of tension between political power and corruption, for the violence and injustice presented within an aesthetic of crime; but it is also true that these stories are sought out and read because they present the reality of the link that exists between norm and violence in 21st century society. Understood in this way, the black narrative assumes violence as the basis of transgression and provokes in society the need for ontological difference with the other in order to force itself to equate, to the reflexive identification that builds the basis of mimesis. This mimetic nature thus conditions each individual to participate in the creation of a world on the threshold of apocalypse. This book presents the proceedings of the CILDE 2018 conference held at Texas Tech University. Contributors: Lucha Corpi, Jeffrey Oxford, José Juan Colín, Rodrigo Figueroa Obregón, Rolando Díaz, Christina Miller, and Jovana Gómez.
