Stern Writing Beowulf: The Graphic Novel has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my career. I was captivated by the poem when I first read it decades ago. The translation was by Francis Gummere, and it was a truly masterful work, retaining all of the spirit that the anonymous author (or authors) invested in it while making it accessible to modern readers. “Modern” is, of course, a relative term. The Gummere translation was published in 1910. Yet it held up wonderfully, and over 60 years later, when I came upon it, my imagination was captivated by its powerful descriptions of life in a distant place and time.

  • Graphic Gothic Introduction Julia Round
    Graphic Gothic Introduction Julia Round ‘Graphic Gothic’ was the seventh International Graphic Novel and Comics Conference, held at Manchester Metropolitan University in June 2016.1 The event brought together fifty scholars from all over the globe, who explored Gothic under themes such as setting, politics, adaptation, censorship, monstrosity, gender, and corporeality. This issue of Studies in Comics collects selected papers from the conference, alongside expanded versions of the talks given by three of our four keynote speakers: Hannah Berry, Toni Fejzula and Matt Green. It is complemented by a comics section that recalls the conference and reflects the potential of Gothic to inform and inspire as Paul Fisher Davies provides a sketchnoted diary of the event. Defining the Gothic is a difficult task. Baldick and Mighall (2012: 273) note that much of the relevant scholarship to date has primarily applied ‘the broadest kind of negation: the Gothic is cast as the opposite of Enlightenment reason, as it is the opposite of bourgeois literary realism.’ Moers also suggests that the meaning of Gothic ‘is not so easily stated except that it has to do with fear’ (1978: 90). Many Gothic scholars and writers have explored the nature of this fear: attempting to draw out and categorise the metaphorical meanings and affect it can create. H.P. Lovecraft (1927: 41) claims that ‘The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind fear of the unknown’ (Lovecraft 1927: 41) and that this is the basis for ‘the weirdly horrible tale’ as a literary form. Ann Radcliffe (1826: 5) famously separates terror and horror, and later writers and critics such as Devendra Varma (1957), Robert Hume (1969), Stephen King (1981), Gina Wisker and Dale Townshend continue to explore this divide.

    GRAPHIC NOVELS IN ADVANCED ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS CLASSROOMS: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL CASE STUDY Cary Gillenwater A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Education. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Madeleine Grumet James Trier Jeff Greene Lucila Vargas Renee Hobbs © 2012 Cary Gillenwater ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT CARY GILLENWATER: Graphic novels in advanced English/language arts classrooms: A phenomenological case study (Under the direction of Madeleine Grumet) This dissertation is a phenomenological case study of two 12th grade English/language arts (ELA) classrooms where teachers used graphic novels with their advanced students. The primary purpose of this case study was to gain insight into the phenomenon of using graphic novels with these students—a research area that is currently limited. Literature from a variety of disciplines was compared and contrasted with observations, interviews, questionnaires, and structured think-aloud activities for this purpose. The following questions guided the study: (1) What are the prevailing attitudes/opinions held by the ELA teachers who use graphic novels and their students about this medium? (2) What interests do the students have that connect to the phenomenon of comic book/graphic novel reading? (3) How do the teachers and the students make meaning from graphic novels? The findings generally affirmed previous scholarship that the medium of comic books/graphic novels can play a beneficial role in ELA classrooms, encouraging student involvement and ownership of texts and their visual literacy development. The findings also confirmed, however, that teachers must first conceive of literacy as more than just reading and writing phonetic texts if the use of the medium is to be more than just secondary to traditional literacy.

  • Manga As a Teaching Tool 1
    Manga as a Teaching Tool 1 Manga as a Teaching Tool: Comic Books Without Borders Ikue Kunai, California State University, East Bay Clarissa C. S. Ryan, California State University, East Bay Proceedings of the CATESOL State Conference, 2007 Manga as a Teaching Tool 2 Manga as a Teaching Tool: Comic Books Without Borders The [manga] titles are flying off the shelves. Students who were not interested in EFL have suddenly become avid readers ...students get hooked and read [a] whole series within days. (E. Kane, personal communication, January 17, 2007) For Americans, it may be difficult to comprehend the prominence of manga, or comic books, East Asia.1. Most East Asian nations both produce their own comics and publish translated Japanese manga, so Japanese publications are popular across the region and beyond. Japan is well-known as a highly literate society; what is less well-known is the role that manga plays in Japanese text consumption (Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco). 37% of all publications sold in Japan are manga of one form or another, including monthly magazines, collections, etc. (Japan External Trade Organization [JETRO], 2006). Although Japan has less than half the population of the United States, manga in all formats amounted to sales within Japan of around 4 billion dollars in 2005 (JETRO, 2006). This total is about seven times the United States' 2005 total comic book, manga, and graphic novel sales of 565 million dollars (Publisher's Weekly, 2007a, 2007b). Additionally, manga is closely connected to the Japanese animation industry, as most anime2 television series and films are based on manga; manga also provides inspiration for Japan's thriving video game industry.

  • Brianna J. Leesch. the Graphic Novel Ratings Game: Publisher Ratings and Librarian Self-Rating
    Brianna J. Leesch. The Graphic Novel Ratings Game: Publisher Ratings and Librarian Self-rating. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S. degree. April, 2013. 62 pages. Advisor: Brian Sturm Graphic materials such as comic books, graphic novels and manga are an expanding section within most library collections. This study defines graphic materials and examines the role of ratings systems and subjective rating assignment by librarians in the acquisition and collection process. While publishers of such graphic materials provide rating systems for librarians to use when making acquisition and placement decisions, these rating systems are not uniform. This leads to the librarian relying upon professional judgment along with review resources and knowledge of the community served by the library. The author has concluded that librarians self-rate graphic materials consistent with the publisher ratings 50% of the time. Data also shows that a further 30% of the time librarians will rate graphic materials for a younger age than the publishers. Misplacement in the public library, according to the interview information, is a rare occurrence.

James Bucky Carter and the contributors to this collection have found an effective approach: use graphic novels! Carter and his contributors tap into the growing popularity of graphic novels in this one-of-a-kind guidebook. Each chapter presents practical suggestions for the classroom as it pairs a graphic novel with a more traditional text or examines connections between multiple sources. Some of the pairings include: • The Scarlet Letter and Katherine Arnoldi’s The Amazing “True” Story of a Teenage Single Mom • Oliver Twist and Will Eisner’s Fagin the Jew • Young adult literature and Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis • Dante’s Inferno and an X-Men story • Classic fantasies (Peter Pan, The Wizard of Oz, and Alice in Wonderland) and Farel Dalrymple’s Pop Gun War • Traditional and graphic novel versions of Beowulf Carter These creative pairings open up a double world of possibilities—in words and images—to all kinds of learners, from reluctant readers and English language learners to gifted students and those who are critically exploring relevant social issues. A valuable appendix recommends additional graphic novels for use in middle and high school classrooms. Packed with great ideas for integrating graphic novels into the curriculum, this collection of creative and effective teaching strategies will help you and your students join the fun.

  • Manga and the Graphic Novel, According to a List of Key Discursive Characteristics
    The Influence of Manga on the Graphic Novel Simon Grennan There is a noticeable, though imperfect, historic parallel between the increase in the readership of Anglophone manga since the early 1990s and the maturation of concepts of the graphic novel, as an “Anglophone” comics genre, since the 1980s. According to a number of approaches, this historic parallel offers opportunities to scrutinize relationships between the development of the two genres (Couch 2010, Hatfield 2005).In particular, this parallel offers the opportunity to historicize descriptions of the complex ways in which these emerging relationships revised diverse practices of visioning, producing and reading comics, in order either to entrench or transform specific markets and cultures, precipitating new types of product and creating new types of reading experience. This chapter will summarize distinctions between the traditions of manga and the graphic novel, according to a list of key discursive characteristics. It will focus on a number of case studies that exemplify some foundational activities for the genre of the graphic novel beween1980 and 2000. According to Laurence Venuti’s descriptions of “foreignization” and “domestication,” it will discuss ways in which manga practices have been adopted and transformed by Anglophone markets and readers, relative to the maturation of the graphic novel. Specifically, the chapter will consider foreignization strategies in Miller’s Ronin, Anglophone translations of Koike and Kojima’s Kozure Ōkami (Lone Wolf and Cub), Nakazawa’s Hadoshi no Gen (Barefoot Gen) and in Spiegelman’s Maus, touching upon the significance of experiences of Anglophone anime for the adoption of manga practices by the graphic novel in the same period.
