| Abstract: | Detective fiction as a sub-genre of crime fiction has been an important part of the history of every literature. Beginning with the blood-thirsty public hungry for a spectacle of the criminals getting punished to the stories of crimes acting as food for gossips, the common public has often loved this favourite branch of narrative. With the suffocating depiction of the repetitive and prototypical detective figure taken from Sherlock Holmes, Saradindu Bandopadhyay took the charge of cleansing this genre off the colonial influence with his conjured character Byomkesh Bakshi, and Satyajit Ray soon followed with his character Feluda. This paper discusses the placement of the detective figure in various contexts socially relating to the social and regional identities and consciousness, national identity and consciousness, judicial consciousness, and masculine consciousness against Satyaboti, his female counterpart representing the feminine consciousness. It also places the detective next to the panoptic powers of the narrator and analyses how the narrator uses his power. With the aforementioned studies, it also attempts a placement of the figure in the complex structure of the narrative. |
