The con had Rotsler name-badge designs, with our choice of design. Oddly enough almost all of us fanzine fans picked the same design. I was particularly interested in one panel on gambling which featured the Head of Security at the Sahara, Marcia McDowell, and Aileen, a dealer at the Hilton.

  • Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium
    Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University Alexandra Mary Jenkins, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Jared Gardner, Advisor Sean O’Sullivan Robyn Warhol Copyright by Alexandra Mary Jenkins 2014 Abstract Feminist activism in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s harnessed radical social thought and used innovative expressive forms in order to disrupt the “grand perspective” espoused by men in every field (Adorno 206). Feminist student activists often put their own female bodies on display to disrupt the disembodied “objective” thinking that still seemed to dominate the academy. The philosopher Theodor Adorno responded to one such action, the “bared breasts incident,” carried out by his radical students in Germany in 1969, in an essay, “Marginalia to Theory and Praxis.” In that essay, he defends himself against the students’ claim that he proved his lack of relevance to contemporary students when he failed to respond to the spectacle of their liberated bodies. He acknowledged that the protest movements seemed to offer thoughtful people a way “out of their self-isolation,” but ultimately, to replace philosophy with bodily spectacle would mean to miss the “infinitely progressive aspect of the separation of theory and praxis” (259, 266). Lisa Yun Lee argues that this separation continues to animate contemporary feminist debates, and that it is worth returning to Adorno’s reasoning, if we wish to understand women’s particular modes of theoretical ii insight in conversation with “grand perspectives” on cultural theory in the twenty-first century.

  • Journal of Lesbian Studies Special Issue on Lesbians and Comics
    Journal of Lesbian Studies Special Issue on Lesbians and Comics Edited by Michelle Ann Abate, Karly Marie Grice, and Christine N. Stamper In examples ranging from Trina Robbins’s “Sandy Comes Out” in the first issue of Wimmen’s Comix (1972) and Alison Bechdel’s Dykes to Watch Out For series (1986 – 2005) to Diane DiMassa's Hothead Paisan (1991 – 1996) and the recent reboot of DC’s Batwoman (2006 - present), comics have been an important locus of lesbian identity, community, and politics for generations. Accordingly, this special issue will explore the intersection of lesbians and comics. What role have comics played in the cultural construction, social visibility, and political advocacy of same-sex female attraction and identity? Likewise, how have these features changed over time? What is the relationship between lesbian comics and queer comics? In what ways does lesbian identity differ from queer female identity in comics, and what role has the medium played in establishing this distinction as well as blurring, reinforcing, or policing it? Discussions of comics from all eras, countries, and styles are welcome. Likewise, we encourage examinations of comics from not simply literary, artistic, and visual perspectives, but from social, economic, educational, and political angles as well. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: Comics as a locus of representation for lesbian identity, community, and sexuality Analysis of titles featuring lesbian plots, characters, and themes, such as Ariel Schrag’s The High School Chronicles strips,

    TEEN AGE A Construção da Narrativa Gráfica a Partir da Autobiografia Ana Raquel Cunha Diogo Relatório de Projeto para Obtenção de grau de Mestre em Artes Plásticas, Especialização em Desenho Orientador Professor Doutor Mário Moura Porto, 2019 Agradecimentos | i Quero agradecer ao meu orientador, Professor Mário Moura, pela sua disponibilidade em orientar-me, e acompanhar-me ao longo deste processo de trabalho. Agradeço principalmente aos meus pais pelo apoio e esforço que sempre fizeram ao longo destes anos de estudo. A Bárbara e Maria, que sempre me acompanharam durante este caminho e sempre me incentivaram para continuar, às suas recomendações e conhecimentos partilhados. Ao Pedro, pela paciência e motivação, e por me ajudar a nunca desistir. Aos meus colegas e amigos de mestrado, pelos bons e maus momentos, entreajuda, partilha de ideias e opiniões. Resumo | ii O presente relatório de projeto tem como principal objetivo abordar a banda desenhada autobiográfica como um modo expressivo de contar histórias aos quadradinhos em que os autores se assumem nas suas histórias como personagens, da mesma forma que se expressam perante a sociedade. O nosso caso de estudo é a banda desenhada do movimento artístico norte-americano criado na década de 60 e chamado Comix-Underground. A autobiografia é uma forma inevitável de exprimir o pessoal de cada um, visível ao leitor. Falamos assim de um projeto autorrepresentativo e do papel da mulher na sociedade nomeadamente na prática de skate na qual é assumida com a dominação masculina e se torna visível a desigualdade entre estes experienciando assim pequenos episódios de discriminação, preconceitos e estereótipos presentes na modalidade.

  • 'WWWWD: What Would Wonder Woman Do?' an Interview With
    ‘WWWWD: What Would Wonder Woman Do?’ An interview with Trina Robbins Olivia Hicks (University of Dundee) and Julia Round (Bournemouth University) Trina Robbins is a comics creator, historian and activist. A long-time champion for female creators and readers, Trina has written and drawn pioneering feminist and LGBT comics in addition to reimagining iconic female super-heroines such as Wonder Woman. She spoke to Julia Round on 24 August 2016. What initially drew you to comics? My mother was a second-grade schoolteacher and she taught me to read at the age of 4, and that’s probably the greatest gift anyone has ever given me. Well, actually, the greatest gift anybody ever gave me was also from my mother and that was being born! But after that, learning to read at 4. I was reading way ahead of my age; I was reading everything. I was reading all the books in the house, and of course I was reading comics. Those were the days when they thought that comics were not good for kids; and a lot of people probably do still think that, but because I read everything, my parents weren’t afraid I would just read comics and never read anything else. So I had no problems from them, no objections. Do you remember what sort of comics you were reading early on? The earliest were comics that my mother bought for me. I really loved the Raggedy Ann book and so my mother got me the comics – there were Raggedy Ann comics. They were great! Our Gang was another.
