Sinopsis

There is increasing pressure on the humanities to justify their value and on criminology to undertake interdisciplinary research. In this book, Rafe McGregor establishes a new interdisciplinary methodology, âÇÖcriminological criticismâÇÖ, harnessing the synergy between literary studies and critical criminology to produce genuine interventions in social reality.McGregor practices criminological criticism on George MillerâÇÖs âÇÖMad Max: Fury RoadâÇÖ, Prime VideoâÇÖs âÇÖCarnival RowâÇÖ and J.K. RowlingâÇÖs âÇÖThe CuckooâÇÖs CallingâÇÖ, demonstrating how these popular allegories provide insights into the harms of sexism, racism and class prejudice.ááThis book proposes a model for collaboration between literary studies and critical criminology that is beneficial to the humanities, the social sciences and society.
