This paper mainly talks about his contributions tomake this new genre a formal sub-genre of literature. Techniques he used in his short stories, locked-room murder and the arm-chair detective, have become the classical conventions of detective story. The eccentric but brilliant protagonist, Auguste Dupin inhis story, has become a model of the later detectives. Poe has also contributed to define the detective story as some kind of intellec-tual game, the plot of which concentrates on the process of investigation.展开更多

The emergence of forensic semiotics as part of this interdisciplinary amalgam is relatively unknown among both criminologists and semioticians. This paper provides an overview of the main objectives of forensic semiotics and its importance to the study of crime. One of the premises of forensic semiotics is that there is a thematic and interpretive continuity between actual crimes and their fictional representations. Actually, contemporary semiotics itself can be seen to start with Peirce's interest in detective fiction, from which he developed several of his key ideas, including the theory of abduction. This paper also discusses some case studies that have been carried out under the rubric of forensic semiotics, which indicate the relevance of semiotic analysis to the study of crime.展开更多
