Moving Worlds
A Journal of Transcultural Writings
Celebrating the diversity and richness of both local and global transcultural communities
Crime across Cultures
Volume 13 Number 1
Description
This issue of Moving Worlds seeks to examine how discourses of crime and criminality are produced in a global context that extends well beyond the cloisters of Orwell's English middle class. We ask how writers and cultural practitioners from around the world have diversified the crime writing genre, moving beyond the detective novel in order to experiment with a variety of media including short fiction, television, performance, visual art and graffiti.
