  • 4 Cognitive Approaches to Comics Shots – and Conveys a Sense of Continuity in the Scene
    4 Cognitive Approaches to Comics 4.1 Synopsis In part 1 I used the term ‘synopsis’ to refer to Wolfgang Iser’s notion that readers generate meaning by ‘seeing things together’, which is guided by tex- tual structures that activate previous themes or gestalten that have become part of the horizon. I developed this idea further by adding conceptual integration theory in part 3, which elaborates on the possible mappings between spaces. Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner identify at least fifteen vital relations (cf. 2003: 101) that become compressed in the blend. In both cases ‘synopsis’ is a metaphor for cognitive operations that are happening in front of the mind’s eye. If we now turn to the architecture of a typical comics page, we find a conceptual illustration and materialisation of this reading model: the fragmented pieces of the narrative – the panels – are separated from each other by a blank space in between – the gutter – that requires readers to cognitively bridge the gulf. Even without any knowledge of gestalt psychology or blending, all comics scholars are challenged to explain how readers are supposed to make sense of this “mosaic art” (Nodelman 2012: 438). As a visualisation of an otherwise cognitive process the medium’s layout also illustrates Iser’s theme and horizon structure, in the sense that the panel(s) attended to by the readers form the present theme and the others around it the horizon. As the ‘wandering viewpoint’ of readers moves on to the next panel, the previous one becomes part of the background: the “theme of one moment becomes the horizon against which the next segment takes on its actuality” (1980: 198; see also Dewey 2005: 199, 211).

As the graphic novel medium matures and detaches itself from the “non-serious” reputation of comics, it is becoming clear that graphic novels are a powerful and effective art form, using the both verbal and the visual to relay their narratives. Portrait, the short graphic novel that is my senior art project, is intended to emphasize the artist’s book character of the graphic novel, and serve as an example of how a graphic novel’s artist’s book characteristics allow communication of the artist’s message effectively. Due to the present explosion of not just new graphic novels, but film adaptations and a wider readership, situating my own work as a graphic novel required looking into the differences between comics and other sequential art genres.

  • Readers' Advisory Conversation
    Readers’ Advisory Conversation The readers’ advisory conversation takes place between a reader and a library staff member about books and reading. This conversation includes the readers’ advisory interview, the determination of appeal factors, reading suggestions, and the follow-up, both immediately and over the long term. Included in the readers’ advisory conversation section of the toolkit are suggestions for participating in a readers’ advisory conversation by means of: Using interview skills to clarify customer’s interests 1. Approach 2. Conversation or interview 3. Actions to offer suggestions 4. Closing and follow-up Understanding appeal 5. Identifying and using appeal factors 6. Recommending books in alternative formats Participating in the conversation in alternative ways 7. Social media and digital resources 8. Personalized reading lists 9. Integrating RA into your program and services Appendix – Bibliography and Learning Resources 1 What are the overall benefits of developing the readers’ advisory conversation? With the rise of quick customer-access information on the Internet, reference requests are declining in most public libraries. Readers’ advisory is a unique service that only qualified and engaged library staff offer. This service can continue to be the basis for increased use of libraries in the future. Libraries will be viewed as a place that supports readers and facilitates further reading of the library’s collection, which in turn will enhance the library’s profile in the community. Customers who participate in successful readers’ advisory conversations and receive good suggestions will borrow items in the short term, and are more likely to return for more suggestions and books over the long term.

  • Graphic Novels
    A GUIDE TO USING GRAPHIC NOVELS WITH CHILDREN AND TEENS GRAPHIC NOVELS ARE EVERYWHERE! No longer an underground movement appealing to a small following of enthusiasts, graphic novels have emerged as a growing segment of book publishing, and have become accepted by librarians and educators as mainstream literature for children and young adults—literature­­ that powerfully motivates kids to read. Are graphic novels for you? Should you be taking a more serious look at this format? How might graphic novels fit into your library collection, your curriculum, and your classroom? Want to know more? If so, this guide is for you. Art © 2014 Jimmy Gownley 1 What are graphic novels? In this context, the word “graphic” does not mean “adult” or “explicit.” Graphic novels are books written and illustrated in the style of a comic book. To be considered a graphic novel, rather than a picture book or illustrated novel, the story is told using a combination of words and pictures in a sequence across the page. Graphic novels can be any genre, and tell any kind of story, just like their prose counterparts. The format is what makes the story a graphic novel, and usually includes text, images, word balloons, sound effects, and panels. This basic way of storytelling has been used in various forms for centuries— early cave drawings, hieroglyphics, and medieval tapestries like the famous Bayeux Tapestry can be thought of as stories told in pictures. The term “graphic novel” is generally used to describe any book in a comic format that resembles a novel in length and narrative development.

    Expressing the construction of the autobiographical self in Craig Thompson’s Blankets, a layering of perspectives. By: Christine van der Schoot Studentnumber: 4176197 Bachelor: Language and Culture studies Department thesis: Literature Supervisor: Susanne Knittel Second reader: Frank Brandsma Date of submission: 03-04-2018 Table of contents 1. Introduction: The importance of studying the construction of 1. the autobiographical self 2. Discussing Blankets 5. 3. Theoretical framework 10. 4. Short overview of the scenes used for close reading 15. 5. Scene one: Visualization of the character’s inner-world 19. 6. Scene two: Using page payout and panel irregularity 27. 7. Scene three: Visual metaphors and the usage of series 35. 8. Conclusion 39. 9. Bibliography 42. 1. Introduction: The importance of studying the construction of the autobiographical self When I was writing Blankets, I was working so hard to relive those experiences and pin them down on paper, and ultimately I think I failed because the book isn’t those moments. It’s like a paper-and-ink reenactment from watered-down memories. It’s not a reproduction. But at the same time, something new is born, something that has its own life (Mosko, Lauren. Question 2, par. 12). With these words from an interview Craig Thompson, author of the autobiographical comic Blankets, describes how it felt to recall, write down and draw his memories of growing up in a Christian community in the United States. From the quote above it becomes clear that Thompson struggles with his wish to reproduce his past properly, a struggle well-known within autobiographical studies.

Like other artforms before them, they had to prove their worth. The process of how this legitimacy was achieved is of interest though, as it varies greatly depending among the region one examines. Of the three major regions of comics production -- Europe, Japan, and America -- how American comics found their way to cultural legitimacy is particularly odd. Unlike Japan and Europe, America suffered a major hit to its mainstream comics publishers brought about by censorship initiatives in the 1950s.
