    PRESS KIT Brussels, September 2019 The 2019 Brussels Comic Strip Festival Brussels is holding its 10th annual Comic Strip Festival from 13 to 15 September 2019 From their beginning at the turn of the previous century, Belgian comics have really become famous the world over. Many illustrators and writers from our country and its capital are well- known beyond our borders. That is reason enough to dedicate a weekend to this rich cultural heritage. Since its debut in 2010, the Brussels Comic Strip Festival has become the main event for comics fans. Young and old, novices and experts, all share a passion for the ninth art and come together each year to participate in the variety of activities on offer. More than 100,000 people and some 300 famous authors gather every year. For this 2019 edition, the essential events are definitely on the schedule: autograph sessions, the Balloon's Day Parade and many more. There's a whole range of activities to delight everyone. Besides the Parc de Bruxelles, le Brussels Comic Strip Festival takes over the prestigious setting of Brussels' Palais des Beaux-Arts, BOZAR. Two places that pair phenomenally well together for the Brussels Comic Strip Festival. Festival-goers will be able to stroll along as they please, enjoying countless activities and novelties on offer wherever they go. From hundreds of autograph signings to premiere cartoon screenings and multiple exhibitions and encounters with professionals, ninth art fans will have plenty to keep them entertained. Finally, the Brussels Comic Strip Festival will award comics prizes: The Atomium Prizes, during a gala evening when no less than €90,000 will be awarded for the best new works from the past year.

  • VISUAL MORPHOLOGY in DUTCH and FLEMISH COMICS 1 It Ain't
    VISUAL MORPHOLOGY IN DUTCH AND FLEMISH COMICS 1 It ain’t much, if it ain’t Dutch: Visual morphology across eight decades of Dutch and Flemish comics Visual morphology in Dutch and Flemish comics Lincy van Middelaar ANR: 305196 Bachelor thesis Communication and Information Science Specialization: Text & Communication Tilburg University, Tilburg Supervisor: dr. N.T. Cohn Second reader: prof. dr. A. A. Maes August 2017 VISUAL MORPHOLOGY IN DUTCH AND FLEMISH COMICS 2 Abstract Comics are well-known for using speech balloons, motion lines and hearts above people’s heads. Amongst others, these visual forms (visual morphemes) belong to the vocabulary of visual languages, which is part of the underlying structure of a visual language. There are different visual languages, such as Japanese Visual Language used in manga and American Visual Language used in superhero comics. Despite the large comic tradition in Europe, the underlying structure of European comics has not been studied much, so the presence of a possible ‘European Visual Language’ or several different visual languages across Europe is unclear. Case studies have studied parts of the vocabulary of visual languages in European comics, but these only described a few morphemes. By examining the vocabulary in a corpus of 80 Dutch and Flemish comic books from the 1940s to the 2010s, this study established a catalogue of 155 different visual morphemes. Furthermore, the results showed a large degree of similarity between Dutch and Flemish comics with minimal variance across both cultures and across time, which implied that they belong to the similar visual language. This catalogue of morphemes could function as a starting point for additional studies on vocabulary of different visual languages.

  • French Comics Framed Festival
    FRENCH COMICS FRAMED FESTIVAL NEW YORK CITY SEPT. 27 – NOV. 5, 2016 Illustration © Christophe Blain 2016 FRENCH COMICS FRAMED In 1889, Richard Felton Outcault, creator of the legendary Yellow Kid, moved to Paris to study art. He came back to the US with a brand new outfit: a beret and a cape. In Manhattan 1952, Morris met René Goscinny: thus Lucky Luke found his new writer, who would also go on to create Asterix and many more iconic heroes. Comics and bande dessinée have always been entwined, keeping up a constant communication across the ocean. Although comics artists may share their work and keep track of each other’s production, these exchanges might not be quite so accessible to the general public. Well, we’d like to make them available to everyone. After all, stars such as The Smurfs, Tintin, Blacksad and Persepolis were born and raised in Europe before conquering the US. FRENCH COMICS FRAMED festival displays in English the wonderful diversity of the Francophone bande dessinée. From much-loved icons to sophisticated graphic novels; from masters of sci-fi to sociopolitical documentaries. With a stunning exhibition, engaging talks, and encounters with some of the best Francophone artists at the New York Comic Con, get ready for an amazing journey through French creation and discover the art of comics à la Française.

    Producing Popularity: The Success in France of the Comics Series "Astérix le Gaulois" Eliza Bourque Dandridge Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Master of Arts in History (European Area Studies) Dr. Fabrice G. Teulon, Chair Dr. Sue W. Farquhar Dr. E. Thomas Ewing April 30, 2008 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Astérix, comics, bande dessinée, production of culture, branding, popularity, appeal Copyright 2008 Eliza Bourque Dandridge. All rights reserved. Producing Popularity: The Success in France of the Comics Series "Astérix le Gaulois" Eliza Bourque Dandridge ABSTRACT: This study examines the rise in popularity of the French comics series "Astérix le Gaulois" through a production-of-culture lens in an effort to uncover how industry evolution and organization, protectionist legislation, marketing, advertising, branding, and consecration by the media worked interdependently to catapult Astérix, the series' protagonist, into stardom by the middle of the 1960s. In so doing, this study forcefully argues that elements external to the text itself greatly facilitated, and in some ways determined, the series' quick and dramatic rise in popularity in France by 1966. The predominance of American and Belgian comics into the 1950s and the moral turn towards all things "100 % français" enabled the success of Pilote, the French- language, French-themed magazine launched in 1959 and in which "Astérix" first appeared. By the early 1960s, Pilote's faithful readership helped make the publication of "Astérix" in album format a resounding success. Simultaneous radio exposure and extensive product merchandising further promoted "Astérix" to a new, vast, and diverse comics market comprised of children and adults alike.

  • A Review of Pierre Huard's Parodie D
    Commentary Scholarly and Research Communication Taking Parodies Seriously: A Review of Pierre Huard’s Parodie dans volume 7 / issue 1 / 2016 la bande dessinée franco-belge (“Parody in French and Belgian Comics”) Eric Spalding University of the Fraser Valley e parody, a text that mocks another text or genre for comic effect, is as old as cultural texts themselves. As literary theorist Gérard Genette remarks, “e birth of parody, like so many others, is lost in the mists of time” (1997, p. 14). Yet the word itself originated in Ancient Greece, as a combination of para and ode – “counter-chant.” Describing parody as it was practised in antiquity, Julius Caesar Scaliger wrote in 1561, “When the rhapsodists interrupted their recitations, entertainers would appear, and in an attempt to refresh the audience would invert everything that had been heard. ey were therefore called parodists, since they surreptitiously introduced, alongside the serious subject, other, comic ones” (as cited in Genette, 1997, p. 14). For ages, then, “entertainers” have made fun of texts for comic effect. e practice is commonplace in comics and graphic novels as Eric Spalding is Associate well, as exemplified by Mad magazine’s custom since the 1950s of mocking Hollywood Professor, Department of blockbusters. Beyond diverting audiences, parodies have also motivated serious writers Social, Cultural and Media to be more creative.

  • A Chamber of Echo on the Post-Comics of Ilan Manouach Benoît Crucifix So Much Stuff. There Is an Overabundance of Things, Objec
    A chamber of echo On the post-comics of Ilan Manouach Benoît Crucifix So much stuff. There is an overabundance of things, objects, materials that crowd our houses, our libraries and archives, our trash containers. Not to speak of the accumulation of digital data in our computer files, on our clouds and hard drives, and the other material infrastructures of this virtual storage. Comics are, arguably, 'everywhere'; from general bookstores to city murals, from university libraries to peer-to-peer networks. At the same time, graphic novels last but a short moment on the display tables of independent bookstores, and webcomics quickly wash away in the daily flux of social media. There are too many comics competing for our attention, itself a space of experience increasingly subjected to monetization. (Citton 2017) Systemic overproduction, failing distribution circuits, and the precarity of creative labor have become major matters of concern in comics culture. (Thompson 2010) The notions of expansion, extrapolation, and deviation that connect the dots of the 'post-comics' constellation designate the tactics and strategies that contemporary cartoonists are imagining in this context. These are all necessary ways of grappling with these profound transformations, ways of rewiring a medium and harnessing it to social and technological changes. These changes might require the contemporary cartoonist to adopt new gestures: Ilan Manouach is such a figure whose main activities involve sifting through large corpuses, reusing comics and recirculating them in myriad ways, and investigating theoretical angles. Highly productive, equally at ease in avant-garde music scenes, critical theory books, and post-underground comics, Ilan Manouach is one of the rare heads in contemporary comics to advance a radically conceptual approach to comics in the post-print era.

  • Transnationalization/Glocalization in Women and Shōjo Manga
    SECTION II Transnationalization/Glocalization in Women and Shōjo Manga Rebecca Suter This section focuses on using women’s manga in a transnational perspec- tive, focusing on a range of different ways in which the label “shōjo manga” has performed an important role in the development of women’s comics beyond the Japanese context. Through a series of close readings of individual case studies from both Japan and Asia, the chapters in this sec- tion highlight how the label of shōjo manga functioned as a catalyzer for the creation of a new expressive space for women authors. Tracing the representation of Asia in Japanese girls’ comics from the 1960 to the present, Fusami Ogi identifies three distinct and intercon- nected phases. In the early period, shōjo manga’s interest centers on the exoticization and feminization of Europe, often the Europe of the past, as exemplified by the proliferation of the trope of the princess. In this phase, Asia is notably absent, and even Japanese characters are portrayed as European-looking, with a drawing style that de-Asianizes them. Shōjo manga of the 1970s begins to complicate this picture, portraying Asian and mixed-race characters and Asian and transnational settings in a similar fantastical narrative and visual style. In the 1980s, in manga directed at an R. Suter (*) Japanese Studies Department, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia e-mail: [email protected] 92 R. SUTER older demographic of women (ladies’ comics), more realistic portrayals of daily life in Asia begin to appear. Tracing this history allows Ogi to present a poignant analysis of a series of works published in the 1990s and 2000s by young female authors from Southeast Asia, demonstrating that they use the conventions of shōjo manga to portray Asian culture in a complex, transnational, and glocalized perspective.
