  • Sandman, Aesthetics and Canonisation Today I Want To
    Sandman, Aesthetics and Canonisation Today I want to examine the ways in which Neil Gaiman’s Sandman has used narrative, format and aesthetic to move ever closer to the notion of the literary text. Particularly going to consider how it exploits the author function and enacts the struggle for cultural worth that comics seem consistently engaged in. Sandman is an epic series rewriting a golden-age superhero into an immortal deity. It is best remembered for its mythological content and literary references, and these elements have allowed it to claim its place as a canonised graphic novel (despite not actually being a singular GN but a maxi-series across multiple trade paperbacks!). Neil Gaiman’s authorship and authority dominate the text and epitomise Michel Foucault’s author function. But Sandman also draws heavily on mixed media and artistic variation and these aspects are less often discussed. Far from supporting a singular author function, Sandman’s visual style is multiple and varied. But despite this, in paratexts the artistic contributions are frequently subsumed into Gaiman’s authorship. However, a closer reading demonstrates that in fact this artistic variety destabilises clear-cut authorship and enacts the particular status struggles of comics as a collaborative medium struggling against the graphic novel branding. SLIDE: literary pix Sandman was launched in 1989 and became the flagship title for DC’s new Vertigo imprint. Vertigo’s publications contributed heavily to the mainstream cultural revaluation of comics as graphic novels, and critics such as Candace West have argued that Sandman in particular was instrumental here due to the attention the series received from mainstream media such as Rolling Stone magazine.

  • Newsletter 94 Late Spring 2015
    NEWSLETTER 94 LATE SPRING 2015 NEWSLETTER 94 LATE SPRING 2015 EDITORIAL We have reached the end of another lecture series and the last to be held at Claremont, the home of YAS since 1968. I’m sure many of us will be sad to leave the familiar surroundings of the building in spite of its lack of heat in the winter months. We look forward now to lectures in 2015-16 in the nearby Swarthmore Education Centre starting on 24 October where I am sure we will be comfortably accommodated. Dates and details of the programme are given later in the Newsletter and thanks to Jane Ellis for organising another interesting programme The Society survived its move many years ago from Park Place to Claremont and I am confident it will do so again. At the AGM held on 18 April, the previous officers were re-elected unopposed and their contact details are given at the end of the Newsletter. I presented the Annual Report for the Section and it was noted that due to a lack of information from the previous YAS Treasurer concerning paid up YAS + Industrial History Section members which has now been resolved, it appeared that we had less of these members than we had realised. Due to great efforts by the new Finance team, there is now greater clarity but less members and therefore less income. However it was good to note that section expenses had decreased as a result of less expenditure for the lecture programme and savings on postage by using the franking machine at Claremont.
