Réalismes déclinistes du polar français contemporain : Nicolas Mathieu, Colin Niel, Antonin Varenne

“…Historically, the noir genre was produced in an urban and industrialized context: "the genre's literary and editorial development as well as that of its readership is linked to the development of cities in the second half of the nineteenth century 1 " (Levet 2018). However, the néo-polar of the 1970s and 1980s started to shift the setting of detective stories "out of the big cities to the suburbs and the margins of society; to those places, such as public housing estates, perceived to be a wasteland for social outcasts and rejects" (Gorrara 2003, 16).…”
