  • IGNCC-2017-Dundee-Programme.Pdf
    The Eighth International Graphic Novel, Comics Conference and Bandes Dessinées Society Conference Borders- Identity, Difference and Representation Monday 26th to Friday 30th June 2017 University of Dundee & University of Glasgow Welcome to Scotland! We have chosen the theme of borders this year. The border distinguishes one space or concept from another whether geopolitical, physical, psychological, ideological or temporal. As such it is a potent phenomenon in contemporary culture where invasion, contestation and negotiation of borders signal inclusion/exclusion or conflict. Geopolitical borders might deal with the imaginary lines on the map that distinguish one territory from another; immigration; citizenship; national and regional borders; sites of ownership; the topography of a space that can inhibit or prohibit; and the marks on the landscape made to claim one territory from another. Temporal borders include the construction of history through historical categories such as the Golden Age or the Silver Age, or the annotation of time in the comics medium. Conceptually and aesthetically one can also explore the border on the comics page, through the variable or imaginary lines that define panels or the page. Narratively speaking, comics blur borders, including genre, such as the constant evolution of the superhero. The medium also plays with the borders between modes of expression, as sound becomes visible; words become drawn; and the material becomes digital. In turn, we can ask whether there are borders between the terms ‘comic’, ‘graphic novel’, ‘sequential art’, ‘manga’, or ‘bande dessinée’? The body too has its borders: the inside and outside; gendered and racial identities; human versus animal or machine; dead versus alive.

  • 10 Notable Graphic Novels Published in 2017 ARLIS/NA Graphic Novels Special Interest Group
    10 Notable Graphic Novels Published in 2017 ARLIS/NA Graphic Novels Special Interest Group This list was created from the results of a poll administered through the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA) Graphic Novels Special Interest Group’s listserv and the ARLIS/NA listserv. Respondents of the poll were asked to select titles they believed were “innovative, memorable, or significant in the field, especially in terms of their artwork.” Selections for the list were published in 2017 and are considered “graphic novels,” defined by the Oxford Companion to the Book as “book-length works in the comics form, usually but not always offering a sustained narrative.” The list has been compiled alphabetically by title. Reviews were written by ARLIS/NA members and edited by the Graphic Novels SIG Co-Coordinators. The primary objective of this list is to assist fellow (art) library workers in improving their own institutional collections of graphic novels/comics.
