Aux marges de l’urbainReprésentation de l’espace dans deux romans policiers, Le Déménagement de Georges Simenon (1967) et Hors limites de Didier Daeninckx (1992)
Abstract: In both novels, the banlieue is at once the expected setting for the crime-genre romanesque, treated in a parodic fashion, and the reality that the text aims to describe. Le Déménagement describes a periurban area through the mediation of the protagonist who experiences it. Hors limites offers a noir vision of a declining industrial suburb.
