    English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada

    Drawing on the Margins of History: English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada by Kevin Ziegler A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Kevin Ziegler 2013 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This study analyzes the techniques that Canadian comics life writers develop to construct personal histories. I examine a broad selection of texts including graphic autobiography, biography, memoir, and diary in order to argue that writers and readers can, through these graphic narratives, engage with an eclectic and eccentric understanding of Canadian historical subjects. Contemporary Canadian comics are important for Canadian literature and life writing because they acknowledge the importance of contemporary urban and marginal subcultures and function as representations of people who occasionally experience economic scarcity. I focus on stories of “ordinary” people because their stories have often been excluded from accounts of Canadian public life and cultural history. Following the example of Barbara Godard, Heather Murray, and Roxanne Rimstead, I re- evaluate Canadian literatures by considering the importance of marginal literary products. Canadian comics authors rarely construct narratives about representative figures standing in place of and speaking for a broad community; instead, they create what Murray calls “history with a human face . the face of the daily, the ordinary” (“Literary History as Microhistory” 411).

    Identity and Form in Alternative Comics, 1967 – 2007

    IDENTITY AND FORM IN ALTERNATIVE COMICS, 1967 – 2007 Emma Tinker UCL 2008 1 I, Emma Tinker, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT Identity and Form in Alternative Comics, 1967 – 2007 In the late 1960s, underground cartoonists established the comic book form as a space for the exploration of personal identity. “Alternative” comics grew out of this tradition as subsequent writers produced work independently of the major comics publishers, aimed at an adult audience and encompassing a broad range of visual styles and narrative content. Throughout the past forty years, British, US and Canadian writers and artists have used this medium to explore questions of selfhood and perception, often implicitly or overtly relating these issues to the form, history and conventions of the comic book itself. Two main threads run through this discussion of the representation of selfhood: childhood and memory on the one hand and sexuality and gender on the other. This thesis argues that for many creators there exists a useful analogy between the comic book form and mental processes, specifically between the fractured, verbal-visual blend of the comics page and the organisation of human memory. It further suggests that the historical association of comics first with childhood, and subsequently with male adolescence, has conditioned the representation of selfhood in adult comics. Comic book consumption has often centred on a community of predominantly young, white, male, socially marginal readers, buying and collecting serialised narratives.

    Comics and Critical Consciousness Sean Carleton

    RESEARCH NOTE /NOTE DE RECHERCHE Drawn to Change: Comics and Critical Consciousness Sean Carleton One of the last projects that activist and academic Howard Zinn com- pleted before his death in 2010 was a comic book.1 With the help of historian Paul Buhle and cartoonist Mike Konopacki, Zinn released A People’s History of American Empire in 2008 as an illustrated adaptation of material from his bestselling book, A People’s History of The United States.2 The comic book is narrated by Zinn, and it depicts him at a teach-in during the height of the Iraq 1. Based on my reading of the scholarly literature on comics as well as my experience as a comics writer, I use the umbrella term “comics.” Comics, or comic books, are also commonly referred to as “floppies,” “periodicals,” “pamphlets,” “sequential art,” “graphic novels,” and “graphic histories” in English, “bande dessinée” and “bande dessinée Québécois” in French, and “manga” in Japanese. While I disagree with comics theorist Scott McCloud’s exclusion of the written word from his definition of comics as “juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence,” I do support his claim that “the best definition for comics will, I think, be the most expansive.” See Scott McCloud, Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art (New York: William Morrow Paperbacks, 1993), 199. My intention in using the term “comics” is to encourage a broad discussion about the possibilities of a medium that generally, though not strictly or exclusively, blends varying forms of text and visuals to convey meaning. For overviews of the terminology debate on “comics” see McCloud, Understanding Comics; Robert C.
