The representation of gender in crime narratives reflects shifting cultural norms from "summary" of Gender and Criminality in Bangla Crime Narratives by Shampa Roy

The portrayal of gender in crime stories is an intricate reflection of the ever-changing cultural norms prevalent in society. Through the lens of Bangla crime narratives, we observe how these stories depict shifting perceptions of gender roles and expectations. These narratives serve as a mirror to the evolving societal attitudes towards masculinity and femininity, shedding light on the complexities of gender dynamics within the context of crime. In these narratives, we witness how traditional gender stereotypes are both reinforced and challenged, illustrating the nuanced ways in which gender is constructed and performed in the realm of criminality. Female characters are often portrayed as victims or femme fatales, embodying societal fears and desires surrounding women's agency and power. On the other hand, male characters are depicted as both perpetrators of violence and protectors of society, embodying conflicting ideals of masculinity. Moreover, the representation of gender in crime narratives also reflects broader cultural anxieties and aspirations. As societal norms and values evolve, so too do the gendered roles and identities depicted in these stories. The ways in which male and female characters are portrayed in relation to crime speak volumes about the shifting power dynamics and social hierarchies at play in contemporary society.
  1. The representation of gender in crime narratives is a dynamic and multifaceted process that is deeply intertwined with broader cultural shifts and transformations. By examining these narratives through a gendered lens, we gain valuable insights into the complex interplay between crime, gender, and culture in Bangla literature.
