The Colourful Return of Comics with the Balloon's Day Parade and The PRESS RELEASE Brussels, 27 August 2019 The colourful return of comics with the Balloon’s Day Parade and the International Pavilion This year’s Comic Strip Festival will once again be an electrifying event for comic fans in Brussels. As part of the event, the Balloon’s Day Parade will bring the streets of the capital to life and will include a new Toto balloon. The International Pavilion will take you on a journey through comics and beyond. Since it was founded in 2010, the Comic Strip Festival has evolved into an unmissable event for all comic fans. Whether you’re old, young, an enthusiast or a comics expert, everyone has the same passion and comes together each year to get an autograph or enjoy the many activities on offer. As there are no borders for comics, the International Pavilion will be showcasing gems from far-flung corners of the world to the most adventurous visitors. And, as is traditional, on Sunday 15 September, the Balloon’s Day Parade will take over the streets of the capital and take you on a journey into the world of famous comic characters. You won’t be able to escape it by the middle of the afternoon. Balloon’s Day Parade On Sunday 15 September, the Balloon’s Day Parade will process through the streets of Brussels for nearly three hours. As part of this year's parade, a new balloon featuring the design of Toto and the famous Citroën 2CV belonging to Boule’s parents will have the great honour of being part of the procession. From 10 am, the amazing spectacle of the balloons being inflated on Place des Palais will begin. During the afternoon, the balloons will be inflated on Place des Palais and will depart from there. Spirou, Tintin, the Cat, the Smurf, Boule, Blurk, Gaston and their new friend will set off on their route along the main streets of Brussels. Delights await comic fans in Brussels Park, where they will be able to enjoy many special events being put on for the Comic Strip Festival there. If you are interested in being a balloon handler, the Balloon’s Day Parade is currently looking for volunteers to take part in the parade between 3 pm and 6 pm. Volunteers can send an email to [email protected] for more information. The International Pavilion While Belgium is particularly proud of its comics heritage, many other countries have an impressive track record too. Many foreign cultural representations from these countries are on display in the International Pavilion, giving visitors the opportunity to discover their works and enjoy a wonderful cultural exchange. Algiers-Brussels- Havana-Moscow (Maison Autrique) Maison Autrique is putting on an exhibition on the theme of its new publication “Kronikas 3” and signing sessions by Brussels, Algerian, Cuban and Russian authors (Etienne Schréder, Jeroen Janssen, Nawel Louerrad, Aleksei Kapninskii, Izquierdo, Lysbeth Daumont-Robles and more). The exhibition gives you an imaginary detailed picture of the heritage of the cities where the invited authors live. The Kronikas experience is supported by the Brussels-Capital Region / Brussels International. This imaginary detailed picture of Brussels, Algiers, Havana and Moscow has been a great success. Maison Autrique brings you the third phase of this project, joined by a growing number of comic authors from far-flung countries for you to discover in the International Pavilion at the Comic Strip Festival. Egypt (TokTok Mag) The first edition of TokTok magazine was published in January 2011, during a time of social uprising. The quarterly magazine reflects everyday life in Egypt, from comic to tragic. TokTok Mag showcases original pictures, limited-edition posters, magazines in Arabic and “bests of” in French. Colombia - (IFA LABORATORY-ARTS LAB BRUSSELS) The Colombian-Belgian production brings together two groups of teenagers, one from Molenbeek-St-Jean in Belgium and another from Ciudad Bolivar in Colombia, as well as the illustrators Xavier Löwenthal and Sindy Elefante. These districts from both sides of the Atlantic have both similarities and differences, and both are affected by stigmatisation. They set out to encourage collective reflection on perception, new perspectives and a demand for a new narrative. Italy (Lucca Comics & Games by LUCCA CREA srl & the Italian Institute of Culture) Lucca Comics & Games returns to the Comic Strip Festival to bring you a range of talented Italian artists. Add some Italian comics to your collection too, with the collaboration with the Brussels bookshop Piola Libri. The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom What’s the added value of the EU?

Humour is at the heart of his work, which is written in Basque and its dialects. Lithuania (The Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania in the Kingdom of Belgium) Lithuanian artist Akvilė Magicdust describes her work as a reflection of Northern Europe’s restrained mood with shades of tropical colours. She will be at the festival, just like Lina Itagaki and Jurga Vilé, who will come and exhibit their work. They have both collaborated, among others, on the graphic novel “Siberian Haiku”, which tells the story of Jurga Vilé’s father and his deportation to Siberia when he was a child.

  • Anglophonic Influence in the Use of Sound Symbolism in Italian Disney Comics: a Corpus-Based Analysis
    Open Linguistics 2017; 3: 591–612 Research Article Pier Simone Pischedda* Anglophonic Influence in the Use of Sound Symbolism in Italian Disney Comics: A Corpus-based Analysis https://doi.org/10.1515/opli-2017-0030 Received August 11, 2017; accepted November 20, 2017 Abstract: This article will explore the linguistic implications of employing and creating sound symbolism (ideophones, onomatopoeia and interjections) in Italian Disney comics. It will endeavour to investigate the way sound symbolic forms in both imported Disney US comics and original Italian stories have profoundly influenced the development of Italian sound symbolism in the last century. The diachronic analysis is carried out thanks to the creation of a corpus of ideophones and interjections from 210 Disney stories published between 1932 and 2013. The corpus will allow the author to investigate how these forms have changed diachronically throughout the eighty years under investigation with the final aim of highlighting changes and patterns in both original and translated Italian stories. The unique status of ideophones, confirmed by language, sociological and neurological studies, has led to interesting experimentations but also to complicated dynamics. Certain linguistic settings seem to foster a better affinity towards the device— particularly if compared to Romance languages, such as Italian and Spanish, that often have to rely on Anglophone renditions. Anglicisation has indeed overshadowed previous original attempts. Nevertheless, recent creations, particularly from

  • The Translation of American Comics During Italian Fascism
    Between Censorship and Innovation: The Translation of American Comics during Italian Fascism Caterina Sinibaldi (University of Warwick) Abstract This article outlines the main issues surrounding the process of import, trans- lation and cultural adaptation of American comics in Italy from 1908 to 1942. During this time, the first comics were translated from Europe and the United States, leading to a revolution in Italian children’s literature. These were also the years in which comics began to be perceived as a political, as well as pedagogical problem, which prompted the Fascist regime to issue censorship measures aimed at limiting their circulation. The aesthetic and ideological dimension of comics will be investigated alongside the different strategies of translation and adaptation used by Italian editors and cartoonists. The reasons behind the disapproval of comics by Italian pedagogues, and the ambivalent attitude of the Fascist regime, will also be explored. In conclusion, my anal- ysis aims to offer insights into the cultural function of children’s literature during Fascism and the specific role of comics as a site for innovation. Comics and Translation The history of Italian comics is a history of translation. Foreign comics, mostly from the United Kingdom, France and the United States, entered the Italian mar- ket at the beginning of the twentieth century, adding movement and colour to the pages of the first children’s magazines. Being labelled as a product for children, comics had to comply with specific translation norms and pedagogical (as well as aesthetic) requirements. Such requirements acquired political connotations during the years of Fascism (1922–43), when books for children became powerful tools for propaganda in the service of Mussolini’s regime.

First of all, the Introduction fascinating “prehistory” (early Thirties) where a few pioneering publishers and creators established a Disney Most of us die-hard Disney fans are in love with those presence in Italy. Then a look at some of the authors, seen comics since our earliest childhood; indeed, many of us through their creations. Because comics are such an learnt to read from the words in Donald’s and Mickey’s obviously visual medium, the graphical artists tend to get balloons. Few of us, though, knew anything about the the lion’s share of the critics’ attention; to compensate for creators of these wonderful comics: they were all this, I have decided to concentrate on the people who calligraphically signed by that “Walt Disney” guy in the actually invent the stories, the script writers (though even first page so we confidently believed that, somewhere in thus I’ve had to miss out many good ones). This seems to America, a man by that name invented and drew each and be a more significant contribution to Disney comics every one of those different stories every week. As we studies since, after all, it will be much easier for you to grew up, the quantity (too many) and quality (too read a lot about the graphical artists somewhere else. And different) of the stories made us realise that this man of course, by discussing stories I will also necessarily could not be doing all this by himself; but still, we touch on the work of the artists anyway.

  • The Transcultural Comics of Takoua Ben Mohamed: Memory and Translation a Fumetti Barbara Spadaro*
    Modern Italy, 2020 Vol. 25, No. 2, 177–197, doi:10.1017/mit.2019.74 The transcultural comics of Takoua Ben Mohamed: memory and translation a fumetti Barbara Spadaro* Department of Modern Languages and Cultures, University of Liverpool, UK (Received 15 February 2019; final version accepted 18 October 2019) Comics are an increasingly popular medium in the twenty-first century. Combining words and images, comics enable the expression of individual and collective histories that straddle languages and cultures, reflecting the multimodality of the cognitive and narrative processes in a multilingual, globalising world. This article proposes an original framework to understand the power of comics as a transcultural medium by exploring the production of Takoua Ben Mohamed, a graphic journalist and comics author born in Tunisia and raised in Rome. These comics visualise histories of migration and translation in Italy and the Mediterranean, questioning notions of homogeneity, authenticity and canonicity of Italian memory and culture. The article engages with the theoretical and methodological framework of the Transnationalizing Modern Languages (TML) research project, exploring the interconnected linguistic and cultural dimensions of memory and translation. The analysis identifies a series of processes termed mediation-translation in Ben Mohamed’s comics, which illuminate the constitutive nature of memory and translation in contemporary processes of identification. Keywords: transcultural; mobility; transnational; translation; memory; comics; fumetto. Introduction Takoua Ben Mohamed started making comics to communicate with children and teachers at school. Born in the oasis of Douz (South Tunisia), she was eight when she arrived in Rome, the city where her family found refuge from the oppressive Ben Ali regime in the 1990s.

  • Italian Adult Comics in Sweden in the 1980S and 1990S
    Italian Adult Comics in Sweden in the 1980s and 1990s IGOR TCHEHOFF Uppsala University Abstract The object of this paper is to present and analyze the main features of the extensive publication of Italian adult comics in Sweden in the 1980s and 1990s. Bibliographic and quantitative research has been conducted in order to supplement the bibliography of the Italian literature in Sweden compiled by Schwartz (2013). The results allowed for the conclusion that comics constituted a very significant share of translated Italian literature of the period, and the importance of individual publishers was higher in this segment. Making use of key concepts of Bourdieu, it is shown that adult comics in Sweden were assigned low cultural value compared to Italy. After a brief comparison of the situation of adult comics in both countries, regarding the role of mediators and the issue of cultural legitimacy, it is argued that this cultural transfer eventually led to a clash that culminated with the Freedom of the Press trial against Pox magazine. For a number of reasons, adult comics in Sweden have never achieved a sufficient level of cultural legitimacy and have remained on the margins of the cultural scene. The difficulties faced by Italian adult comics in Sweden are illustrated by a brief analysis of the reception of An Author in Search of Six Characters by Milo Manara (1992). Key words: Adult comics, Pierre Bourdieu, Fredric Wertham, Horst Schröder, Milo Manara, Epix, Pox, cultural value, cultural legitimacy, cultural mediators 1. Introductory remarks The period of 1980s and 1990s saw an extraordinary upswing of foreign adult comics in Sweden.

The Representation of COVID-19 in Italian Comics Abstract Through the perspective of Cultural Semiotics, this article aims to show how Italian comic book creators have represented the tragic event of the coronavirus pandemic during the first lockdown (between March and May 2020) imposed by Giuseppe Conte’s government. By analyzing the works produced during this timeframe, we attempt to identify the main ways the pandemic was depicted. We will focus on the representation of time and space, the double status of the virus (as an agent and condition), and creators’ different textual strategies. Keywords Comics, Italy, COVID-19, Semiotics, Media, New Media, Culture Introduction The following article presents a semiotic and cultural analysis of different comics, webcomics, and animated videos published in Italy during the three- month quarantine (from March to May 2020) declared by the Italian gov- ernment to fight the rise and spread of COVID-19. As a result of this, our primary goal is to shed light on the perception of the pandemic in Italian culture and show how cultures signify and define traumatic events through semiotic and aesthetic devices, including visual media.
