On the occasion of the 2022 Heritage Days, a national event attended by the libraries of the City of Paris network, BiLiPo offers you a meeting around the collective work Le goût du noir dans la fiction policière contemporaine published in 2021 by the Rennes University Press and directed by Gilles Menegaldo and Maryse Petit.
"First novel with the Gothic that developed during the 19th century and found its climax in the 20th century, the «black», a story of death, violence and terror, but also of resolution of this deadly tension, soon declined into films, making the detective’s face a major movie arcane from the 1940s. Novels and films highlight the darkness of the crimes and social environments that generate them or the deductive abilities of paper investigators become icons of the screen: Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot. The genre and its huge popular success spread to other media (comics, series). The book tries to shed light on this extension of the Black, working the codes to adapt them like Tardi, transposing the novels of J.P. Manchette or Black Sad, whose authors take the images of the film noir in the graphic novel, the TV series, the cinema."
The book is selected for the Trophées 813 edition 2022, category Trophée du Meilleur ouvrage critique / Prix Maurice-Renault (essays, reviews, reference works, reviews, etc.)
Meeting with Gilles MENEGALDO, Maryse PETIT, directors of the collective work, Françoise SAMMARCELLI and Dominique MANOTTI, contributors.
