Abstract
This year’s issue of Limbus contains essays which deal with the subject of murder in highly diverse ways. These contributions include the perspectives of legal philosophy in the 19th and 20th centuries, modern criminalistics, literary history and Marxist philosophy, among others. In literary history, murder cannot only drive a plot but also stimulate the soul, an anthropological mystery which is of particular interest for research into literary anthropology. Several of the contributions focus on the figure of the murderer, while others address the idea of women as murder victims. Furthermore, other essays examine both the ‘murder mystery literature’ of the post-war period and contemporary crime fiction. An essay which deals with the subject of ‘planetary murder’ using science fiction texts that focus on nuclear war completes the volume.
