      <title>The Smell of Crime. Towards an Olfactology of the Italian Crime Novel</title>
      <link>http://interfas.univ-tlse2.fr/odore/249</link>
      <description>This study analyzes the evolution of olfactory stereotypes in Italian crime fiction through the works of three emblematic authors: Augusto De Angelis, Giorgio Scerbanenco and Donato Carrisi. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach that integrates narrative semiotics, linguistic analysis, and embodied cognition theories, the research examines how smell functions as an investigative device, a means of characterization, and a means of constructing narrative atmospheres. The analysis reveals a progressive transformation: from social marker and material clue in De Angelis, to visceral expression of social critique in Scerbanenco, to metaphysical bridge between physical and psychic dimensions in Carrisi. This evolution reflects profound cultural changes in Italian society, from pre-war social stratification to postmodern fluidity, suggesting that the olfactory element is not simply descriptive ornamentation but an essential narrative device for creating suspense and emotional reader engagement. The study proposes a new methodological perspective for analyzing Italian crime fiction, demonstrating the potential of a literary olfactology of the genre. </description>

      <title>L’odeur du crime. Vers une olfactologie du roman policier italien</title>
      <link>http://interfas.univ-tlse2.fr/odore/144</link>
      <description>Cette étude analyse l’évolution des stéréotypes olfactifs dans les romans policiers italiens à travers les œuvres de trois auteurs emblématiques : Augusto De Angelis, Giorgio Scerbanenco et Donato Carrisi. Adoptant une approche interdisciplinaire qui intègre la sémiotique narrative, l’analyse linguistique et les théories de la cognition incarnée, la recherche examine comment l’olfaction fonctionne comme un dispositif d’investigation, un élément de caractérisation des personnages et un constructeur d’atmosphères narratives. L’analyse révèle une transformation progressive : d’un marqueur social et d’un indice matériel chez De Angelis, à une expression viscérale de la critique sociale chez Scerbanenco, pour devenir un pont métaphysique entre le physique et le psychique chez Carrisi. Cette évolution reflète les profonds changements culturels de la société italienne, de la stratification sociale d’avant-guerre à la fluidité post-moderne, suggérant que l’élément olfactif n’est pas simplement un ornement descriptif mais un dispositif narratif essentiel pour créer le suspense et l’implication émotionnelle du lecteur. L’étude propose une nouvelle perspective méthodologique pour l’analyse des romans policiers italiens, démontrant le potentiel d’une olfactologie littéraire du roman noir.
