The Detective as (Academic) Interpreter: A Reconsideration of Murder by Death

https://doi.org/10.37467/revvisual.v9.3684Keywords:
Murder by Death, Detective, (Academic) Researcher, Parody, (Auto)criticismAbstract
Murder by Death is a parody of mystery films which also criticizes the character of the detective, both in terms of his/her personal traits and his/her investigation methods. The similarities between the detective and the academic researcher invite to check how this criticism can also be applied to the latter.
