- This book explores linguistic prose fictional and audiovisual dramatic crime ‘texts’, but also investigates the process where crime narratives find themselves crossing the boundaries of the language, medium and culture in which they were first bound. It demonstrates that considering crime fictional works alongside their translations (language-crossing), adaptations (media-crossing) and remakings (culture-crossing) reveals how the various semiotic modes interact with one another. In exploring crime fiction migration, the book proposes a model for multimodal research, and a framework for genre analysis with which to better understand the processes involved in crime narrative construction.
