The discourse of denunciation in Argentine neo-police literature

The present book consists of a research on contemporary Argentine neo-police literature in its character of social denunciation based on passionate strategies. By referring to this corpus we refer to an emerging space of fictional writings, within a larger literary field that has been gaining visibility in our continent for some decades, generically called Latin American neo-police. In particular, we will focus on the analysis of a group of texts that practically lack specialized academic criticism and that fictionalize a topic of high impact on the criminal news agenda in recent years: human trafficking. In this sense, our research seeks its originality in the critical contribution to the study of the ways in which denunciation is constructed through the discourse of passion in a corpus of contemporary Argentine neo-police novels that narrate possible cases of kidnapping of women for prostitution.
