“…21 In domestic noir, the home, the household, the family and intimate relationships are marked by feminist undertones as well as by alienation, anxiety, unhomeliness, directly endangered by a violent partner, and indirectly by neoliberal social and economic measures. 22 Further on, the perspectives of minor literature, neoliberal noir, and domestic noir will be used to analyse detective novels of Sergej Verč and to reveal common semiotic patterns. Before we analyse Verč's novels from these perspectives, we will present a short historical overview of Slovenian detective fiction.…”

"In this article, we analyze the politics of representation in the detective tetralogy (1991- 2009) of the late Slovenian and Triestinian writer Sergej Verč. Addressing several aspects of Verč’s primary literary semiotic device of schizophrenia, we trace a simultaneous literary and chronological shift from minor literature to neoliberal noir. We expose the fundamental representational ambiguity by analyzing the detective triad (murder-victim-criminal), the fetishization of detective clues, the erotization of detection, and the underlying binary oppositions. Verč’s detective novels critique the Slovenian capitalist transition but also reproduce culturally conservative representations of gender, sexuality, and family."

Članek preučuje politiko reprezentacij v detektivskih romanih Avgusta Demšarja prek dekonstruktivne analize detektivske pripovedi in detektivske triade. Skozi perspektivo domačega noira so predstavljeni romani Olje na balkonu (2007), Tanek led (2009), Evropa (2010), Miloš (2013), Otok (2018) in Cerkev (2020). Demšarjevi romani se s kritiko kulturne konservativnosti in reakcionarnosti pogajajo s konservativnim toposom, ki je inherenten strukturi detektivskega romana. Na manifestni ravni pripovedi prek politično korektnih detektivov in lezbične detektivke nasprotujejo bigotizmu, vendar prek detektivske triade potrjujejo veljavnost represivne spolne morale. Detektivsko delo, morilski motivi in razmerja med spolnimi in družbenimi identitetami žrtev se skladajo s pregrehami in z normami patriarhalnega krščanskega imaginarija. Spodletelo srečanje med javnimi in zasebnimi zločini ponuja izviren vpogled v strahove sodobne slovenske družbe.
