Tara Kraft-Ainsworth is a doctoral student studying art history at the University of Georgia. Her research explores how Surrealist artists in interwar France, and Europe more broadly, grappled with the quick readability of mass-produced literature and visual culture. She is particularly interested in how regional versions of the detective genre—from the French crime novel to the British murder mystery to American hardboiled fiction—were translated to visual art and why artists saw the detective genre’s formulaic system as an apt conduit to debate modern modes of observation and attention.

Naomi van Overveld is a PhD candidate at the University of Groningen, where she also earned her Master’s degree in English literature and culture. Naomi’s research project focuses on early twentieth-century masculinity in British literature in novels by authors such as E. M. Forster, D. H. Lawrence, and Radclyffe Hall, and she is particularly interested in the ways in which ideas on masculine identity and expression change throughout the writing process of a single novel, by comparing and contrasting manuscript versions of those novels. Naomi’s contribution to this edition of The Space Between journal is her first publication. [return to article]
