"Criminalistic Fantasy and the Culture of Crisis in Weimar Germany Todd Herzog.
Turning their attention precisely to the relationship that Foucault ... Both in the
individual volumes (each of which is ultimately the work of a single author) and in
the series as a whole (which, in a sense, stands as the work ofa corporate “author
”), the views expressed in the Outsiders volumes simply cannot be reconciled
with one another. And this mu ..."

During the 1920s, German-language writers dispensed with the detective and focused instead on criminals, a trend that did not take hold in other countries until after 1945, by which time Germany had gone on to produce ..."
