    LGBTQ+ GUIDE TO COMIC-CON@HOME 2021 Compiled by Andy Mangels Edited by Ted Abenheim Collage created by Sean (PXLFORGE) Brennan Character Key on pages 3 and 4 Images © Respective Publishers, Creators and Artists Prism logo designed by Chip Kidd PRISM COMICS is an all-volunteer, nonprofit 501c3 organization championing LGBTQ+ diversity and inclusion in comics and popular media. Founded in 2003, Prism supports queer and LGBTQ-friendly comics professionals, readers, educators and librarians through its website, social networking, booths and panel presentations at conventions. Prism Comics also presents the annual Prism Awards for excellence in queer comics in collaboration with the Queer Comics Expo and The Cartoon Art Museum. Visit us at prismcomics.org or on Facebook - facebook.com/prismcomics WELCOME We miss conventions! We miss seeing comics fans, creators, pros, panelists, exhibitors, cosplayers and the wonderful Comic-Con staff. You’re all family, and we hope everyone had a safe and productive 2020 and first half of 2021. In the past year and a half we’ve seen queer, BIPOC, AAPI and other marginalized communities come forth with strength, power and pride like we have not seen in a long time. In the face of hate and discrimination we at Prism stand even more strongly for the principles of diversity and equality on which the organization was founded. We stand with the Black, Asian American and Pacific Islander, Indigenous, Latinx, Transgender communities and People of Color - LGBTQ+ and allies - in advocating for inclusion and social justice. Comics, graphic novels and arts are very powerful mediums for marginalized voices to be heard.

And at the same time, Poetry continues to discover the new voices who will be read a century from now. Poetry’s archives are incomparable, and to celebrate the magazine’s centennial, editors Don Share and Christian Wiman combed them to “The histories of modern poetry and of create a new kind of anthology, energized by the self-imposed limita- Poetry in America are almost interchange- tion to one hundred poems.

  • Ces Eaux Que Lřon Dit Dormantes
    Ces eaux que lřon dit dormantes Ces eaux que l’on dit dormantes Mythes, personnages féminins et paysages aquatiques dans la littérature francophone décadente et symboliste à lřaide des Humanités numériques Caterina da Lisca TESI DOCTORAL UPF / ANY 2014 CODIRECTORA Dra. Montserrat Cots Vicente ● Universitat Pompeu Fabra CODIRECTOR Dr. Paul Aron ● Université Libre de Bruxelles DEPARTAMENT DřHUMANITATS Fernand KHNOPFF Avec Grégoire Le Roy. Mon cœur pleure d'autrefois (1889) Crayon, crayon de couleur et craie blanche sur papier gris-bleu, 25,5 x 14,5 cm. The Hearn Family Trust, New York Ici toute une vie invisible est enclose Qui n'a laissé voir d'elle et d'un muet tourment Que ce que laisse voir une eau d'aspect dormant Où la lune mélancoliquement se pose. L'eau songe; elle miroite; et l'on dirait un ciel, Tant elle s'orne d'étoiles silencieuses. O leurre de ce miroir artificiel! Apparence ! Sérénités fallacieuses! Sous la blanche surface immobile, cette eau Souffre; d'anciens chagrins la font glacée et noire; Qu'on imagine, sous de l'herbe, un vieux tombeau De qui le mort, mal mort, garderait la mémoire. O mémoire, par qui même les clairs instants Sont douloureux et comme assombris d'une vase; L'eau se dore de ciel; le chœur des roseaux jase; Mais le manque de joie a duré trop longtemps. Et cette eau qu'est mon âme, en vain pacifiée, Frémit d'une douleur qu'on dirait un secret, Voix suprême d'une race qui disparaît, Et plainte, au fond de l'eau, d'une cloche noyée! Georges RODENBACH, « Epilogue » Les vies encloses (1896) Résumé Notre thèse se propose dřinventorier les thèmes qui découlent du motif des « eaux dormantes » −motif qui est un des traits caractéristiques de la littérature francophone décadente et symboliste (1860-1910)− dans une perspective résolument comparatiste et à lřaide des humanités numériques.
