Resumo: This article takes three tries on understanding why crime fiction is such a global phenomena and what it has to say about world literature. In first place, we’ll approach the question as it was formulated by G. K. Chesterton in 1902, i. e., why detective stories are so popular. He has two arguments: the genre’s ability to talk about the present and the way it guarantees the well being of the society. A second try rounds about crime fiction’s structure, as formulated by Roger Caillois and Tzvetan Todorov. Ultimately, the massification of crime fiction is explained by its behavior as a genre, after Jacques Derrida and Anvitta Ronell’s studies. In conclusion, crime fiction, as a genre, has a economy similar to world literature, as it repeats itself through space and time, and, by this proliferation, acquires marks, anomalies. World literature is also a proliferation that has its untranslatable marks.

Em primeiro lugar, abordamos a questão conforme formulada por G. K. Chesterton em 1902, qual seja, por que as histórias de detetive são tão populares. Seus argumentos são dois: a habilidade de o gênero falar sobre o presente e a forma com que garante o bom funcionamento da sociedade. Uma segunda tentativa passa pela estrutura do policial, segundo formulações de Roger Caillois e Tzvetan Todorov. Por último, a massificação do policial tem a ver com o seu comportamento como gênero literário, segundo Jacques Derrida e Avitta Ronell. Em suma, a literatura policial, como gênero, tem uma economia similar à literatura mundial, já que se repete pelo tempo e pelo espaço e, por causa desta proliferação, adquire marcas, anomalias. A literatura mundial também é uma proliferação que tem suas marcas intraduzíveis.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2013-10-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/13500Letrônica; Vol. 6 No. 1 (2013): Sociolinguística Variacionista & Weltliteratur hoje; 405-418Letrônica; v. 6 n. 1 (2013): Sociolinguística Variacionista & Weltliteratur hoje; 405-4181984-4301reponame:letrônicainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/article/view/13500/10115Parrine, Raquelinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-02-23T21:01:10Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/13500Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronicaPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/letronica/oailetronica@pucrs.br||ivanetemileski@gmail.com1984-43011984-4301opendoar:2017-02-23T21:01:10letrônica - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
