Descrição
Resumo:This issue of Coolabah compiles a sample of results of research carried out by the members of the group POCRIF: "Postcolonial Crime Fiction: a global window into social realities". The group was founded in 2013 under the aegis of the Centre of Australian Studies at the University of Barcelona. Although CEA focuses much of its activity on the lively exchange of ideas, scholars and students between Catalonia and its antipodes, it does not constrict its activities to the Pacific area. Rather, it has a global postcolonial vocation, and is thus the perfect matrix for a research group with such eclectic and diverse interests as POCRIF. All its members belong to CEA, and their research is part of the wider academic and investigative work carried out therein. Coolabah is one of the journals published by the Centre itself, and the works presented in this issue, except for one invited contribution, are the result of a Ministerio de Economía y Competividad financed research project on Postcolonial Crime Fiction (FFI2013-45101-P).
