fiction?</title></head><body>
<div>Dear all,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Some colleagues at my university have asked for help in locating
someone who works on Korean crime fiction for the following
interesting book project (they have noted to me that there will also
be chapters that have more of a focus on film, which should open
things up for the South Korean situation):</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><font size="+1" color="#000000">"Bloody Foreigners:
Cross-cultural Aspects of Crime Writing".</font></div>
<div><font size="+1" color="#000000"><br></font></div>
<div><font size="+1" color="#000000">This will be a selection of
peer-reviewed chapter articles, for which we will be seeking a UK
publisher.<br>
The fundamental concept is as follows: whether victim, perpetrator or
investigator, the foreigner appears frequently in crime fiction. How
is this foreignness represented, what are the causes and/or
consequences, explicit or implicit, of this confrontation of cultures?
Contributors may also choose to examine the setting of crime novels
(eg. the "exotic procedural") or the reception of foreign
language crime fiction in translation. It is expected that texts and
authors studied will come from a wide range of countries and
literatures; chapters are to be submitted in English.</font></div>

Abstracts of 300-500 words, accompanied by a basic bibliography,

<div><font size="+1" color="#000000"> We are aiming to send the
manuscript to the publishers by the end of 2010. We hope you will join
us in this exciting project.<br>

Yours sincerely,<br>
