Similarly, in Peau noire, Masques blancs, Frantz Fanon also highlights the popularity of European bandes dessinées in the francophone world and observes the negative psychological impact of such texts on non-European readers who identify with Western explorer characters rather than with the racialized stereotypical images of non-European characters. One major factor for this is that the emergence and development of French and Belgian bandes dessinées took place during the height of European colonialism; bandes dessinées subsequently drew from and participated in a visual culture—such as travel postcards, brochures and keepsakes from colonial expositions, and in particular advertisements for exotic goods such as Banania—that ii helped construct the European imaginary of Africa. Moreover, bandes dessinées published in France and Belgium were exported to the colonial territories with the mission civilisatrice. This dissertation analyzes how contemporary cartoonists seek to disrupt the continued prevalence of colonial iconography in mainstream European bandes dessinées through satire and through experimentation with the limits of this medium. The goal is to demonstrate how such texts combat Western stereotypes of Africa and how they reconfigure European imperialist discourses to generate new modes of thinking about and representing sub-Saharan Africa. Though many sub-Saharan African bandes dessinées are didactic in nature and subject to censorship, there are two genres to which contemporary African cartoonists seem to gravitate: autobiographical bandes dessinées that focus on quotidian life and lived-experiences and journalistic bandes dessinées that foreground postcolonial violence. Chapters one and two center on the first genre in the work of Gabonese cartoonist Pahé and in the Aya de Yopougon series by Ivorian Marguerite Abouet and French Clément Oubrerie. Chapter three shifts focus to an investigation of the long-lasting sociopolitical effects of European colonialism in central Africa in the work of Belgian cartoonist Jean-Philippe Stassen with particular attention paid to his work on the 1994 Rwandan Genocide and its continuing aftermath. iii The dissertation of Michelle Lynn Bumatay is approved.

Advisor: Barbara B. Moran This study examines the representations of Jewish women in comic books and graphic novels, starting with a discussion of common stereotypes about Jewish women in American popular culture. The primary sources under investigation include Gilbert Hernandez’s Love and Rockets X, Aline Kominsky-Crumb’s autobiographical works, the X-Men comic books, Art Spiegelman’s Maus and Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*!, Joann Sfar’s The Rabbi’s Cat, and J.T. Waldman’s Megillat Esther. The representations of Jewish women in comic books and graphic novels vary widely. And although certain stereotypes about Jewish women—especially the Jewish Mother and the Jewish American Princess—pervade American popular culture, most of the comics featuring Jewish characters do not seem to have been greatly influenced by these images.

  • Annual Report 2018
    Annual Report 2018 PHILIPPE CROONENBERGHS Chairman “2018 will go down in the history of Texaf as the year in which the Board decided to invest in a new sector of the future in Africa: digital. This sector is booming in Africa and needs are much greater than in Europe: economic inclusion, identification of people, sharing information in rural areas, e-government, public health applications... There will no doubt be many investment opportunities. Texaf is positioning itself to identify them, partnering with a leading venture capitalist, PARTECH AFRICA, and creating Kinshasa’s first digital hub, which is destined to become a point of reference in the region.” JEAN-PHILIPPE WATERSCHOOT CEO “Resilience and capacity to invest in new fields of action is in TEXAF’s DNA. In spite of the socio-political upheaval witnessed in 2018, TEXAF has pursued its investment policy. Its ability to constantly adapt to the demands of the high-end real estate market in the city of Kinshasa and the quality of the services it offers enables it to maintain an occupancy rate of almost 100% in this situation. The group has solid fundamentals and maintains large-scale ambitions on this market by favoring an increasingly environ- mentally responsible approach in its construction methods and management of its real estate portfolio. TEXAF counts on skilled and devoted operational teams for both its real estate business and its quarrying activities. Their continual engagement in often difficult circumstances is a major resource in our pursuit of success.” CONTENTS 01 Profile

  • Cultural Difference and Diversity in French- Language Comics
    Cultural Difference and Diversity in French- Language Comics The Editors The treatment of cultural difference and diversity by French-speaking cartoonists has changed radically over the last few decades, as four articles in this special issue demonstrate. What has not changed since the nineteenth century is the centrality of these themes to comics, which have been a globalizing medium in a shrinking world throughout the period. French-language comics are exemplary of these transformations, insofar as France was a major imperialist power during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Moreover, France has long been home to ethnic and religious minorities, and was a major center of immigration during the twentieth century. These socio- historical trends have left a huge imprint on comics within France itself, but the French also exported the form along with their language to most of their colonies, which has given rise to (post-)colonial traditions of cartooning in French-speaking regions across the globe. Belgium too has a signifi cant history of colonial intervention in Africa and of immigration and ethnic diversity within its own borders, which has had a signifi cant impact on comics in both Belgium and its former African colonies. French-language comics therefore constitute a rich fi eld for studying representations of cultural difference and diversity, although one can certainly also fi nd related trends and examples in comics of other European languages and national traditions: for example, in Italian comics one fi nds the black character Bilbolbul and other stories related to the colonization of Africa.1 On the other hand, one of the most important early cartoonists and theoreticians of comics was Swiss, not French or Belgian.
