  • The Language of Narrative Drawing: a Close Reading of Contemporary Graphic Novels
    The Language of Narrative Drawing: a close reading of contemporary graphic novels Abstract: The study offers an alternative analytical framework for thinking about the contemporary graphic novel as a dynamic area of visual art practice. Graphic narratives are placed within the broad, open-ended territory of investigative drawing, rather than restricted to a special category of literature, as is more usually the case. The analysis considers how narrative ideas and energies are carried across specific examples of work graphically. Using analogies taken from recent academic debate around translation, aspects of Performance Studies, and, finally, common categories borrowed from linguistic grammar, the discussion identifies subtle varieties of creative processing within a range of drawn stories. The study is practice-based in that the questions that it investigates were first provoked by the activity of drawing. It sustains a dominant interest in practice throughout, pursuing aspects of graphic processing as its primary focus. Chapter 1 applies recent ideas from Translation Studies to graphic narrative, arguing for a more expansive understanding of how process brings about creative evolutions and refines directing ideas. Chapter 2 considers the body as an area of core content for narrative drawing. A consideration of elements of Performance Studies stimulates a reconfiguration of the role of the figure in graphic stories, and selected artists are revisited for the physical qualities of their narrative strategies. Chapter 3 develops the grammatical concept of tense to provide a central analogy for analysing graphic language. The chapter adapts the idea of the graphic „confection‟ to the territory of drawing to offer a fresh system of analysis and a potential new tool for teaching.

  • Access Provided by City University of New York at 10/18/11 8:39PM GMT What to Expect When You Pick up a Graphic Novel
    Access Provided by City University of New York at 10/18/11 8:39PM GMT What to Expect When You Pick Up a Graphic Novel Lisa Zunshine We live in other people’s heads: avidly, reluctantly, consciously, unawares, gropingly, inescapably. A stranger sitting across the table at the library turns away from her laptop screen, extends her forearm, and begins to move her eyes from the tip of her index finger to her nose and back. It’s a kind of eye calisthenics; she obviously wants to keep her near- sightedness under control. I sigh and look away: I really should do the same exercises, but I am too lazy. When I look at her again, I see that she sees me looking at her, so I let my glance slide past her casually: I don’t want her to think that I am staring. Our daily lives are unimaginable without such constant nonverbal interactions. We explain other people’s observable behavior in terms of unobservable mental states and assume that they explain our behavior the same way. Mental states: thoughts, desires, feelings, intentions. She does that exercise because she wants to improve her eyesight. I sigh because I feel bad about my laziness. I don’t know what she thinks when she notices my look, but I think up a little narrative about what she might think and what I should do so that she doesn’t think this. Note that to describe this for you now I construct a neat sequence of sentences, making it seem like an evenly paced, conscious, and fully verbalized process, but when it was actually happening it was fast, messy, intuitive, not particularly conscious, and certainly not verbalized.

  • A Dialética Do Localismo E Do Cosmopolitismo Nas Narrativas Gráficas De Marjane Satrapi
    Revista Novos Olhares - Vol.3 N.2 91 A dialética do localismo e do cosmopolitismo nas narrativas gráficas de Marjane Satrapi Marcio Serelle Resumo: Os romances gráficos de Marjane Satrapi, assim como suas adaptações Professor do Programa de Pós- cinematográficas, narram histórias iranianas por meio de formaspop de expressão. Graduação em Comunicação Social da A partir da apropriação da noção de dialética do localismo e do cosmopolitismo PUC Minas e pesquisador do CNPq. em Candido (2000), este artigo propõe, por meio da análise dessas obras Email: [email protected] (Persépolis, Bordados e Frango com ameixa), desdobrar essa integração para além das relações entre forma e fundo, colocando em relevo outras camadas de diálogo entre contextos que questionam representações estereotipadas do Irã e da mulher iraniana. Em seu cerne, o artigo recupera o debate acerca de modos de narrar eventos traumáticos, tendo em vista uma geração recente que busca formas não canônicas de testemunho de situações-limite, que passam usualmente pelo uso da imagem e por gêneros de entretenimento. Palavras-chave: Testemunho, graphic novel, estereótipo, Irã, Marjane Satrapi Title: The dialectics of localism and cosmopolitism in Marjane Satrapi´s graphic narratives Abstract: Marjane Satrapi´s graphic novels as well their film adaptations show Iranians stories through pop forms of expression. Considering the dialectics of localism and cosmopolitism in Candido (2000), this article proposes to examine Satrapi´s work (Persepolis, Embroideries, and Chicken with plums) and extend the dialectical notion beyond the relations between form and content. It aims at revealing that this dialectics is present in other ways of negotiation between contexts, which questions stereotyped representations of Iran and Iranian women.

  • Sample Reflectives
    ! Persepolis Reflective Statement #1 - 395 Words ! I learned many things about the life of Marjane Satrapi, the author of Persepolis and her influences. The major thing that I learned is that her own life was a major influence on the book Persepolis in terms of the; characters, setting, themes and much more. Marjane Satrapi was born in Tehran, Iran and grew up in a post revolution Iran, just like Marjane in the book Persepolis. Satrapi is able to portray the themes in the book for the reader because of this by depicting the strong feelings of the charcters which she grew up around herself and strong feelings she had as well. For example in the book, Marjane's parents are involved in the protests against the government and have strong political opinions and the author Marjane's parents were politically involved and really royal descendents just like in the book and joined the first protests to dispose the Shah also like Marjanes' parents in the book. Marjane was brought up to think freely and she portrays this in the book by the depiction of herself as a child that can speak very freely in the house and voice her opinions even when she isn't entirely correct in the book they portray this by always telling her to think freely and stressing the importance of education and ideas. Marjane Satrapi studied in Austria, she includes this part of her life as well in the book and she probably includes most of her experiences that she thinks were important and caused change in her character from when she was a child in Iran to when she returns from Austria.
