  • The Vampire in the Detective Story
    -^---'^ vfr . —1{^ i W:' .— » j«^,.. • >-«i j/^-^j\.V. > J^X^ MONSTRUM: THE VAMPIRE IN THE DETECTIVE STORY A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE PROGRAM IN POPULAR CULTURE OF BROCK UNIVERSITY ST. CATHARINES, ONTARIO IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN POPULAR CULTURE By Caroline Stikkelbroeck May 2007 © Caroline Stikkelbroeck For Chris and Jake, with love and thanks. I couldn't have done it without you guys. My sincere thanks to Professor Jeanette Sloniowski, thesis advisor extraordinaire, and her partner in crime, Professor Marilyn Rose, for the ongoing support and encouragement. ABSTRACT My approach to the vampire detective highlights its connections to the private detective's story and reveals the monstrous investigators' debt to early feminist forms of detection ~ specifically in their reformation of the 'other' and of traditional forms of power and authority. Seen in this light the movement of horror's imaginary 'other' into the rational world of detection can be seen as not an abrupt breach of detection's realist conventions, but an almost seamless transition into symbolic spaces that point to the detective's primary function ~ to make sense of the senseless. It is in this light that I explore the monster that is a detective as a symbol that is also a sense-maker, and a quintessential postmodern figure. I argue that the distinctions between monsters and 'others', and between popular narratives and postmodern religion have faded, culminating in a character that can not only model 'otherness' as an exemplary condition, but also provide strategies for modeling the form of active postmodern subjectivity that postmodern theorist Jim Collins' (1989) conceives of as heretical activity.
