Written from a multicultural and interdisciplinary perspective, this collection of new essays explores the semiotics of food in the 20th- and 21st-century crime fiction of authors such as Anthony Bourdain, Arthur Upfield, Sara Paretsky, Andrea Camilleri, Fred Vargas, Ruth Rendell, Stieg Larsson, Leonardo Padura, Georges Simenon, Paco Ignacio Taibo II, and Donna Leon. The collection covers a range of issues, such as the provision of intra-, peri- or paratextual recipes, the aesthetics and ethics of food, eating rituals as indications of cultural belonging, and regional, national and supranational identities. It also tackles eating disorders and other seemingly abnormal habits as signs of "Otherness." Also mentioned are the television productions of the Inspector Montalbano series (1999-ongoing), the Danish-Swedish Bron/Broen (2011, The Bridge), and its remakes The Tunnel (2013, France/UK) and The Bridge (2013, USA).

An incisive study of how Latin American women writers use literature as a form of intellectual activism to confront gendered violence, social injustice and enduring political legacies.Building on existing Spanish and Anglophone criticism, chapters cover a variety of gendered societal ills, such as sexual abuse, prostitution, violence and femicide, as well as other socio-political and cultural conflicts. Thus, some contributors analyse the ways in which women discover and face inequality and injustice, and how State impunity and the silencing and shaming of female victims are at the core of the unstoppable increase of rapes and femicides, while others survey the problematics of migration, capitalism, environmental degradation and the lingering effects of the Argentinean and Chilean dictatorships on the individual and national subconscious. Overall, the book sheds light on how Latin American women writers including well-known names like Diamela Eltit and Cristina Rivera Garza, and emerging ones like Dina Ananco y Arelis Uribe, epitomize the current voices of intellectual and socio-historical activism, highlighting the ways in which they turn to their pen to engage with issues that affect us all, regardless of our gender. Este volumen, que reúne a colaboradoras del Reino Unido, Estados Unidos, Nueva Zelanda, México, Argentina, Italia y España, cuestiona una visión demasiado a menudo despectiva de la literatura escrita por mujeres al examinar la denuncia que hacen las autoras latinoamericanas de problemáticas contemporáneas que trascienden lo personal, lo local e incluso lo nacional. En base a la crítica existente en español e inglés, los capítulos abordan una variedad de males sociales atravesados por el género, como el abuso sexual, la prostitución, la violencia y el feminicidio, así como otros conflictos sociopolíticos y culturales. Así pues, algunos de los estudios analizan las formas en que las mujeres descubren y confrontan la desigualdad y la injusticia, y cómo la impunidad estatal, el silenciamiento y la estigmatización de las víctimas constituyen la raíz del imparable aumento de violaciones y feminicidios, mientras que otros estudian la problemática de la migración, el capitalismo, la degradación medioambiental y los efectos persistentes de las dictaduras en el subconsciente individual y nacional de Argentina y Chile.En conjunto, el libro nos demuestra cómo las escritoras latinoamericanas, algunas tan conocidas como Diamela Eltit y Cristina Rivera Garza, y otras que comienzan a despuntar, como Dina Ananco y Arelis Uribe, encarnan las voces actuales del activismo intelectual y sociohistórico, y destaca la manera en que recurren a la escritura para involucrarse en cuestiones que nos afectan a todos, independientemente de nuestro género.
