www.smartymagazine.com The comic book lexicon Comics Manga by Bubble You know how to mime at least three onomatopoeias... Let's not worry, we offer you our lexicon to be unbeatable on the world of the 9th art! 1 GENERIC TERMS RELATED TO THE MEDIUM COMIC STRIP Album : Refers to the comic book object. Art-book : Beautiful book gathering drawings, sketches, illustrations or specific information on the work and the universe of a series, an author or a universe. Used by extension for beautiful books on animes. Author, author and author: In recent years, women comic strip creators have proposed returning to an old word, author, to fight against sexism and the invisibilization of women in the milieu, rather than author or author. You can read this article by Audrey Alwett which explains well this distinction and its importance & consult the website of the collectif des créatrices de BD contre le sexisme. BDM : Created by Michel Béra, Michel Denni and Philippe Mellot who give their initials to the unofficial argus of the comic strip. Work that gives quotations that refer to the second-hand market, special editions and first editions. Quite contested and criticized on the indicated quotations, it is the only work of this kind existing since 1978, but several sites try to propose alternatives. Digital (or Webcomics) comics: Comics created especially to be read on screen. A very nice example here with Phallaina. Bedéphile : An old suitcase word for comic book enthusiasts. Cartoonist: Barbaric term created to designate comic book authors. Bubble (or balloon or phylactery): Materialization of speech in comic strip, generally represented by a bubble with a line towards the character. The phylactery may also indicate thought, and its shape may change to accompany this distinction. Box (or vignette): Main element of a comic strip page, the box delimits a finished space, which is however linked to the adjacent boxes and which hardly exists alone. Colorist: Artist who is specialized in the coloring of albums and plates. It is frequent that a draftsman is also his own colorist. Box: Cardboard binding that can contain several albums to protect or highlight them. Cover: First cardboard page of a book that protects the sheets and presents the album. What is commonly called a cover is called a dish in technical terms. By extension this term refers to the drawing on the cover of the book. The back cover designates the back of the book. Crossover: Story that mixes characters from several universes or that takes place in several series. Cycle (or narrative arc): A grouping of several episodes which form a complete adventure and which develops over several volumes without concluding the story in the broad sense. A series can offer several cycles of different sizes. Back: Called slice by use, the back is the part that holds the book binding. It is also the only visible face on the shelves of our libraries. Bookplates: Image printed separately, usually in the form of a silkscreen or printed image used to promote an album. The originality of the design and/or its rarity make it a popular collector's item. It is very often numbered and signed by its author. Fanzine : Suitcase word that contains fan and magazine. It designates an individual or collective craft publication, produced outside the production circuits. It can be artistic or critical in nature. Fumetti : Designs Italian comics (and comics in general in Italian) Illustrated: Aged term for comic strips, taken from illustrated newspapers (a somewhat pejorative expression that implies the childish character of comics as "little pickets") Complete: A grouping of several albums intended to present a complete story or a complete cycle. Jaquette : Printed cover in the form of a soft cover with flaps that can be added to the existing cover. Clear line: Term forged in the 70s by Joost Swarte to designate the style of Hergé and the authors who claim it, around a will of legibility and stylisation of the line. Ninth art (or 9th art): Expression popularized by Morris, Lucky Luke's designer, to designate the comic strip among the classical arts. With the 7th art (cinema), they are the only ones for which expression is regularly used. One- shot: Refers to an album that does not call immediately. Onomatopoeia: Graphical materialization of a noise or sound with letters and symbols. Graphic novel: Literal translation of the term "graphic novel" coined by Will Eisner to designate a work whose ambition is to treat a subject on a par with literature. The author also gave a canon, with the idea of monovolume and black & white narrative. Scantrad: Pirate translation of a manga or comic book made by fans. Available online and often before official releases, these translations are illegal even though they are very popular. Strip: Literally "strip" means comic strips from the daily press with certain titles to follow or with independent gags. Spin-off: Derived series or album from the main series. Spoiler: I dare not say anything about that word to avoid ruining everything. Head print: Version of an album slightly different from the classic version that comes out before the official release. Its price is higher and often benefits from a more luxurious format or a numbering, signature, etc.... Volume (or volume): Numbered album that is part of a series. 2 TERMS SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO ASIAN COMICS Anime (or japananimation or japanime): Japanese term which designates the animated drawings and by extension in France to designate all the animated productions coming from Japan or Asia. Anime comics: Manga which is composed of color images of an anime, not original drawings, to which we add bubbles, a recitative or dialogues. Bunkobon : Refers to manga bound in pocket format (A6 format & soft cover) Ecchi : Refers to mangas with sexual connotations with a tendency to target humour more than pornography. To differentiate from the Hentai (see below) which designates more erotic or pornographic mangas. Fan service: Popular practice in Japanese prepublication newspapers and found in albums: where authors please their fans by adding details or scenes that are not useful to the story, but please the audience. A large majority of these fan services offer drawings of heroes & heroines in sexy outfits. Gekiga : Expression designating a realistic style of manga that is concerned with social issues. Genre appeared in the 60s and 70s on the fringe of manga in its definition of the time. Hentai : Term for erotic or pornographic mangas. Manga: Generic word for Japanese comics in general (and comics in Japan). The term would be taken from the drawing notebooks of the painter Hokusaï at the beginning of the 19th century, who made freer drawings in his notebooks. Josei : Manga for adult women. Kodomo : Manga for children. Mangaka: Refers to a manga author. Manga-manbun : Particular manga which consists of a drawing with legend, or a strip, inspired by American comic strips. Manhua (and lianhuanhua): Manhua: generic word for Chinese comics. Lianhuanhua indicates him a more popular and ancient form than the manhua. Manhuajia: Refers to an author from Manhua. Manhwa: Generic word for Korean comics. Manhwaga: Refers to an author from Manhwa. Mecha : Abbreviation of "mechanical" which designates the manga genre based on armor and combat robots. Seinen: Manga for adults. Shôjo : Manga for girl. Shônen : Manga for young boy. Shitei: Refers to humorous mangas in the broad sense. Story manga : Refers to mangas that follow each other over several chapters or volumes with a twist plot design most often. Genre popularized by the god of manga, Osamu Tezuka. Tankôbon: Generic term for collections of publications previously pre-published in newspapers. It is these versions that are most often used as the basis for translation for European and American editions. Yaoi (or boys' love): Refers to works that stage sentimental and/or sexual relationships between male characters intended for a female readership. It differs from Men's love (or bara), which is intended for a male readership. Yuri (or Girls' Love): Refers to works that stage sentimental (and rarely sexual) relationships between female characters. Yonkoma : Form of manga frozen in four boxes, most often humorous or autobiographical. 3 TERMS SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO AMERICAN COMICS Annual : A special comic book with a strong pagination that appears once a year or several times on specific occasions. Cartoon: Not to be confused with animated cartoon, this word also designates the American comic strip. The comic book authors who work on this format are cartoonists. Comics: Generic word for American comics in general (and comics in the USA). One also speaks of Cartoons or Funnies, but these more marked terms are more specifically linked to the press. Comic book: Compendium or booklet that proposes a complete story or a story to follow, regularly published. This is different from paperback (see below). Comic strip: Comic strip from the daily press (then pages of Sunday supplements) with some titles to follow or independent gags. Comix : Comic book distortion, playing on the sound and the final X to mark a break with the industry in place. The term refers to underground comics that appeared in the 60s and 70s. Cover-Artist : Draftsman in charge of creating a comic book cover or specialized in this type of order. Creator-Owned: Character or series whose rights belong to their authors and not to the publisher as is the custom in the USA. Golden Age: Golden age of comics, from the birth of Superman in 1938 until the end of the Second World War. The moment it all started for comic books. Then the Silver Age followed the Golden Age in comic book history from the mid-1950s to the early 1970s.

    Comics Aren’t Just For Fun Anymore: The Practical Use of Comics by TESOL Professionals by David Recine A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in TESOL _________________________________________ Adviser Date _________________________________________ Graduate Committee Member Date _________________________________________ Graduate Committee Member Date University of Wisconsin-River Falls 2013 Comics, in the form of comic strips, comic books, and single panel cartoons are ubiquitous in classroom materials for teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL). While comics material is widely accepted as a teaching aid in TESOL, there is relatively little research into why comics are popular as a teaching instrument and how the effectiveness of comics can be maximized in TESOL. This thesis is designed to bridge the gap between conventional wisdom on the use of comics in ESL/EFL instruction and research related to visual aids in learning and language acquisition. The hidden science behind comics use in TESOL is examined to reveal the nature of comics, the psychological impact of the medium on learners, the qualities that make some comics more educational than others, and the most empirically sound ways to use comics in education. The definition of the comics medium itself is explored; characterizations of comics created by TESOL professionals, comic scholars, and psychologists are indexed and analyzed. This definition is followed by a look at the current role of comics in society at large, the teaching community in general, and TESOL specifically. From there, this paper explores the psycholinguistic concepts of construction of meaning and the language faculty.

    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

    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.

    Truth, Justice, and the Canadian Way: The War-Time Comics of Bell Features Publications Ivan Kocmarek Hamilton, Ontario 148 What might be called the “First Age of Canadian Comics”1 began on a consum- mately Canadian political and historical foundation. Canada had entered the Second World War on September 10, 1939, nine days after Hitler invaded the Sudetenland and a week after England declared war on Germany. Just over a year after this, on December 6, 1940, William Lyon MacKenzie King led parliament in declaring the War Exchange Conservation Act (WECA) as a protectionist measure to bolster the Canadian dollar and the war economy in general. Among the paper products now labeled as restricted imports were pulp magazines and comic books.2 Those precious, four-colour, ten-cent treasure chests of American culture that had widened the eyes of youngsters from Prince Edward to Vancouver Islands immedi- ately disappeared from the corner newsstands. Within three months—indicia dates give March 1941, but these books were probably on the stands by mid-January— Anglo-American Publications in Toronto and Maple Leaf Publications in Vancouver opportunistically filled this vacuum by putting out the first issues of Robin Hood Comics and Better Comics, respectively. Of these two, the latter is widely considered by collectors to be the first true Canadian comic book becauseRobin Hood Comics Vol. 1 No. 1 seems to have been a tabloid-sized collection of reprints of daily strips from the Toronto Telegram written by Ted McCall and drawn by Charles Snelgrove. Still in Toronto, Adrian Dingle and the Kulbach twins combined forces to release the first issue of Triumph-Adventure Comics six months later (August 1941), and then publisher Cyril Bell and his artist employee Edmund T.

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.

GE Area: C-2 1 Course Description Manga is one of the most important art forms to emerge from Japan. Its importance as a medium of visual culture and storytelling cannot be denied. The aim of this course is to introduce students and to expose students to as much of the history and breadth of manga as possible. The breadth and scope of manga is limitless, as every imaginable genre exists. With over 10,000 manga being published every year (roughly one third of all published material in Japan), there is no way that one course can cover the complete history of manga, but we will cover as much as possible. We will read a number of manga together as a class and discuss them.
