| Abstract | ||
| In the current academic project, I will take an in-depth interrogation of the discourse on crime in two exemplary novels about crime: The Vanished Man by Jeffery Deaver (2003) and The Sleepwalker by Joseph Knox (2017). Through the corpus, analyzed through the prism of a critical approach, the study questions how criminal language is negotiated and strategically constructed through the respective narratives, especially concerning the interaction of lexicographic decisions, narrative and the representation of suspects and perpetrators. In a comparative forensic approach, this research question is an organized study of the criminal discourse in these pieces of literature, the use of linguistic strategies, investigation techniques and the use of forensic signifiers. The applicability of forensic linguistics and criminological theory-derived methodologies of discourse analysis makes it possible to conduct a subtle dissection of the narrative structure, characterization, and methodological baggage of the investigative process in fiction. The analytical results indicate that the feminist differences emerge at a very strong level in narrative structure, characterization of crime and application of forensic science. Whereas the text by Deaver indicates a technocratic exactness of the description of the forensic processes, a narrative by Knox preempts psychological multiplicity and moral ambiguity, thus providing an epistemic plurality which is indicative of the difference in ideological positions in crime fiction today. | ||
