RESUMO Este trabalho objetiva refletir acerca da dimensão da pista na narrativa criminal ficcional a partir de sua principal materialização: o rastro. Este surge como o ponto fundamental para pensarmos as implicações narrativas e epistemológicas de toda a tradicionalidade e de um fenômeno em particular: a série televisiva True Detective. Para isso, convocamos diversos outros textos, com destaque para as séries de TV, mas revisitando também produções literárias e cinematográficas. A partir de um mapeamento que se desdobra no decorrer de toda a dissertação, inserimos e destacamos True Detective na história da ficção criminal, observando continuidades e rupturas que evidenciam uma crise do saber moderno. Ao problematizar o modelo positivista, o rastro previsto pelo paradigma indiciário insere a figura do sujeito no modo de conhecer o mundo, fator que nos permite pensar a figura do detetive neste trabalho. Em True Detective, o investigador é um personagem problemático e falho, características que compõem inevitavelmente seu trabalho e sua visão de mundo. Sua dificuldade em lidar com os vestígios evidencia a impossibilidade de se chegar a uma verdade única, num modo de contar histórias marcado por versões que se acumulam e se contradizem, convocando o próprio telespectador a propor a sua interpretação sobre as pistas deixadas na narrativa. Diante desse cenário, analisamos a ficção criminal e True Detective no modo como reconfiguram a visão moderna de se encarar o saber, que parece ruir na contemporaneidade. Palavras-chave: Narrativa criminal. True Detective. Rastro. Saber moderno. Séries de televisão. ABSTRACT This work aims to reflect on the lane dimension in the crime fiction from its main materialization: the trace. It emerges as a fundamental point for thoughts about the narrative and epistemological implications of a whole tradition and a phenomenon in particular: the television series True Detective. For this, we call several other texts, with emphasis on the TV shows, but also revisiting literary and cinematographic productions. From a mapping that unfolds throughout the dissertation, we insert and highlight True Detective in the history of crime fiction, observing continuities and ruptures that evidence a crisis of modern knowledge. In problematizing the positivist model, the trace predicted by the indiciary paradigm inserts the figure of the subject in the way of knowing the world, a factor that allows us to think the figure of the detective in this work. In True Detective, the investigator is a problematic and flawed character, features that inevitably make up his work and his worldview. His difficulty in dealing with the vestiges evidences the impossibility of reaching a single truth, in a storytelling marked by versions that accumulate and contradict themselves, summoning the viewer himself to propose his interpretation on the clues left in the narrative. Against this background, we analyze crime fiction and True Detective in the way they reconfigure the modern view of facing knowledge, which seems to collapse in contemporaneity. Keywords: Crime fiction. True Detective. Trace. Modern knowledge. TV series.

    L3700 LETHAL WEAPON (USA, 1987) (Other titles: Arma lethale; Arme fatale; Dodbringende veben; Zwei stahlharte profis) Credits: director, Richard Donner ; writer, Shane Black. Cast: Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Gary Busey. Summary: Police thriller set in contemporary Los Angeles. Martin Riggs (Gibson) is no ordinary cop. He is a Vietnam veteran whose killing expertise and suicidal recklessness make him a lethal weapon to anyone he works against or with. Roger Murtaugh (Glover), also a veteran, is an easy-going homicide detective with a loving family, a big house, and a pension he does not want to lose. The only thing Murtaugh and Riggs have in common is that they hate to work with partners, but their partnership becomes the key to survival when a routine murder investigation turns into an all-out war with an international heroin ring.

  • Victoria Beckham: Coming to America
    LETHAL WEAPON PREMIERES THIS SUNDAY AT THE SPECIAL TIME OF 8.00PM ON IMPARJA The gripping cop drama series Lethal Weapon premieres this Sunday, January 29, at the special time of 8.00pm and will continue Sundays at 9.00pm on Imparja. Lethal Weapon, based on the thrilling hit movie franchise of the same name, combines drama, action, friendship and humour as it follows the story of the classic cop duo Martin Riggs (Clayne Crawford) and Roger Murtaugh (Damon Wayans) working through crime-ridden, modern-day Los Angeles. Following the tragic loss of his wife and unborn child, ex- Navy SEAL- turned -detective, Riggs moves to California to work for the LAPD and starts a new life. Riggs is partnered with Murtaugh, who has just returned to the job following a near-fatal heart attack. It is clear from the moment they meet that this partnership will severely test their patience because Riggs has a tendency to dive headfirst into the line of fire, which clashes with Murtaugh’s conservative, by-the-book-technique. During their first shootout with drug dealers, Riggs’ headfirst approach to crime brings out a side to Murtaugh that he hasn’t seen in himself for some time, making him feel more alive than he has in years. At the end of their first day together this odd cop duo figure that their new arrangement might work out after all —as Riggs realises he has found something worth living for: a mate and a partner.

  • POST-BRITISH CRIME FILMS and the ETHICS of RETRIBUTIVE VIOLENCE Mark Schmitt (TU Dortmund University)
    CINEMA 11 152 “THEY’RE BAD PEOPLE – THEY SHOULD SUFFER”: POST-BRITISH CRIME FILMS AND THE ETHICS OF RETRIBUTIVE VIOLENCE Mark Schmitt (TU Dortmund University) In recent years, British popular genre cinema has displayed a tendency to allegorise the ethical ques- tions resulting from the nation’s social and political challenges of the 21st century.1 Whether it is the Blair government’s decision to join the US in the Iraq war in 2003 and the ensuing disillusionment with democracy and the futility of public protest, the austerity measures and subsequently increasing social divisions in the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008, the ongoing process of Scottish and Welsh devolution that challenges the very notion of a United Kingdom, Britain finds itself in a stage that Michael Gardiner has described as “post-British.”2 On the level of the nation-state, and especially with regard to Scottish and Welsh devolution, the post-British process can be identified as the “demo- cratic restructuring of each nation within union and each nation still affected by Anglophone imperial- ism”3, while the social structure of Britain is still marked by the internal fault lines of class divisions of class. The notion of “post-Britain” has been addressed in British film studies. William Brown has sug- gested that Britain’s cinematic output in the 21st century offers a “paradoxically post-British” perspec- tive which is reflected in subject matter, ideological points of view and modes of production.4 As Brown argues, such post-British perspectives can particularly be found in popular genre films such as 28 Days Later (2002) and V for Vendetta (2006).5 In the following, I will argue that this post-British sensibility in contemporary national genre cinema is aligned with urgent ethical questions regarding the nation state on both the British level as well as within a larger European context.
