Abstract

Se abordan los inicios del policial en la literatura y su continuación en la pantalla chica. La dinámica de narración de un género que se reinventa a partir de sus nexos con la cultura popular. En síntesis, es un ensayo orientado a recuperar la historia del género policial desde su desarrollo auroral en la literatura de Edgard Allan Poe hasta su trasvase a series televisivas como Columbo, Kojak, Miami Vice, Cagney & Lacey, CSI, NYPD Blue o The Wire. El énfasis está puesto en el análisis del comportamiento de los relatos policiales con relación a los cambios de época, los contextos sociales y los vínculos que este género ha cultivado con la cultura popular a lo largo de su historia.
