In recent times, the French roman noir has gained a reputation as an influential narrative genre for investigating troubling periods in European history. German critics Elfriede Mfiller and Alexander Ruoff have noted the recurrence of crime intrigues predicated on a recuperation of traumatic episodes from the past, from the Spanish Civil War to May '68 and the Mitterrand years.' For Miller and Ruoff, what characterizes such novels is their critical stance, a politicization of crime that underscores the extent to which a sense of crisis in the present has its roots in unresolved "historical crimes." Yet if Muiller and Ruoff provide a useful overview of the historical reference points of the French roman noir, they are less successful in analyzing the ways in which such events are mediated by the conventions of crime fiction and the impact of such conventions on representations of history. It is one of the commonplaces of critical work on the roman noir in France to state its leftwing, even gauchiste credentials,2 but this overarching label cannot do justice to the nuanced readings that a number of writers bring to memories of controversial and highly sensitive areas of collective experience, such as the Holocaust. This article will examine novels by two contemporary French roman noir writers that address memories of the Holocaust in French culture and society: Didier Daeninckx's Meurtres pour memoire (1984)
近年来,法国罗马黑色小说作为一种调查欧洲历史上动荡时期的有影响力的叙事类型而获得了声誉。德国评论家Elfriede Mfiller和Alexander Ruoff注意到,犯罪阴谋的反复出现是基于对过去创伤事件的复原,从西班牙内战到1968年5月和密特朗时代。对米勒和洛夫来说,这类小说的特点是它们的批判立场,一种对犯罪的政治化,强调了当前的危机感在多大程度上源于未解决的“历史犯罪”。然而,如果米勒和洛夫对法国罗马黑色小说的历史参考点提供了有用的概述,他们在分析这些事件是如何被犯罪小说的惯例所调解的,以及这些惯例对历史表现的影响方面就不那么成功了。在法国关于罗马黑色小说的评论作品中,陈述其左翼、甚至左翼主义的特征是很常见的,2但这个笼统的标签并不能公正地解读一些作者对集体经历中有争议和高度敏感领域的回忆,比如大屠杀。本文将研究两位当代法国罗马黑色作家的小说,这些小说讲述了法国文化和社会中的大屠杀记忆:迪迪埃·达宁克斯的《回忆》(Meurtres pour memoire) (1984)
