Fafnir – Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research Journal.Finfar.Org
ISSN: 2342-2009 Fafnir vol 3, iss 4, pages 7–227–23 Fafnir – Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research journal.finfar.org Speculative Architectures in Comics Francesco-Alessio Ursini Abstract: The present article offers an analysis on how comics authors can employ architecture as a narrative trope, by focusing on the works of Tsutomu Nihei (Blame!, Sidonia no Kishi), and the duo of Francois Schuiten and Benoit Peeters (Le cités obscures). The article investigates how these authors use architectural tropes to create speculative fictions that develop renditions of cities as complex narrative environments, and “places” with a distinctive role and profile in stories. It is argued that these authors exploit the multimodal nature of comics and the potential of architecture to construct complex worlds and narrative structures. Keywords: architectural tropes, comics, narrative structure, speculative fiction, world-building, multimodality Biography and contact info: Francesco-Alessio Ursini is currently a lecturer in English linguistics and literature at Jönköping University. His works on comics include a special issue on Grant Morrison for the journal ImageTexT, and the forthcoming Visions of the Future in Comics (McFarland Press), both co-edited with Frank Bramlett and Adnan Mahmutović. Speculative fiction and comics have always been tightly connected across different cultural traditions. It has been argued that the “golden era” of manga (Japanese comics) in the 70’s and 80’s is based on the preponderance of works using science/speculative fiction settings (e.g. Akira, Ohsawa 9–26). Similarly, classic works in the “Latin” comic traditions (i.e. Latin American historietas, Italian fumetti, and French/Belgian bande desineés) have long represented an ideal nexus between the speculative fiction genre and the Comics medium, one example being El Eternauta (Page 46–50).

Curated by Yuko Shiraishi
Utopia Dystopia Revisited curated by Yuko Shiraishi 19 September - 2 November 2019 Annely Juda Fine Art 23 Dering Street, 3rd floor London W1S 1AW T: +44 20 7629 7578 F: +44 20 7491 2139 E: [email protected] Utopia/Dystopia Revisited by Yuko Shiraishi In John Carey’s The Faber Book of Utopias published in 2000, he explains that Utopia means ‘nowhere’ or ‘no-place’. Utopia has tended to be taken to mean a good place, but strictly speaking imaginary good places and imaginary bad places are all Utopias or ‘nowheres’. I have always been interested in the subject of Utopia and Dystopia, but the key inspiration for this exhibition has been the work of Ivan Leonidov, which I discovered through reading Akiko Honda’s Astroarchitecture: Ivan Leonidov and Unrealized Architectural Projects in the USSR between 1920s-1950s (2014). Leonidov has been unkindly treated by history. Apart from a small number of sketches and paintings, little of his work survives. Nor does anything remain by way of notes or commen- taries he may have written. He is therefore presented here as a forgotten presence, an archi- tect who never existed, an intriguing ghost from the past. By inviting him into this exhibition, my hope has been to re-open a window onto the meaning of Utopia / Dystopia such as Leonidov experienced in Russia and the Soviet Union. During the 1920s, Leonidov argued, as a member of the Constructivist movement, that archi- tecture had to adopt alternative perspectives through which to view the world. He explored new forms of media such as film and photography in the development of a methodology that Honda has called Astroarchitecture.
