    www.internationalgraphicnovelandcomicsconference.com [email protected] #IGNCC18 @TheIGNCC RETRO! TIME, MEMORY, NOSTALGIA THE NINTH INTERNATIONAL GRAPHIC NOVEL AND COMICS CONFERENCE WEDNESDAY 27TH – FRIDAY 29TH JUNE 2018 BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY, UK Retro – a looking to the past – is everywhere in contemporary culture. Cultural critics like Jameson argue that retro and nostalgia are symptoms of postmodernism – that we can pick and choose various items and cultural phenomena from different eras and place them together in a pastiche that means little and decontextualizes their historicity. However, as Bergson argues in Memory and Matter, the senses evoke memories, and popular culture artefacts like comics can bring the past to life in many ways. The smell and feel of old paper can trigger memories just as easily as revisiting an old haunt or hearing a piece of music from one’s youth. As fans and academics we often look to the past to tell us about the present. We may argue about the supposed ‘golden age’ of comics. Our collecting habits may even define our lifestyles and who we are. But nostalgia has its dark side and some regard this continuous looking to the past as a negative emotion in which we aim to restore a lost adolescence. In Mediated Nostalgia, Ryan Lizardi argues that the contemporary media fosters narcissistic nostalgia ‘to develop individualized pasts that are defined by idealized versions of beloved lost media texts’ (2). This argument suggests that fans are media dupes lost in a reverie of nostalgic melancholia; but is belied by the diverse responses of fandom to media texts. Moreover, ‘retro’ can be taken to imply an ironic appropriation.
  • Writing About Comics

    Writing About Comics

    NACAE National Association of Comics Art Educators English 100-v: Writing about Comics From the wild assertions of Unbreakable and the sudden popularity of films adapted from comics (not just Spider-Man or Daredevil, but Ghost World and From Hell), to the abrupt appearance of Dan Clowes and Art Spiegelman all over The New Yorker, interesting claims are now being made about the value of comics and comic books. Are they the visible articulation of some unconscious knowledge or desire -- No, probably not. Are they the new literature of the twenty-first century -- Possibly, possibly... This course offers a reading survey of the best comics of the past twenty years (sometimes called “graphic novels”), and supplies the skills for reading comics critically in terms not only of what they say (which is easy) but of how they say it (which takes some thinking). More importantly than the fact that comics will be touching off all of our conversations, however, this is a course in writing critically: in building an argument, in gathering and organizing literary evidence, and in capturing and retaining the reader's interest (and your own). Don't assume this will be easy, just because we're reading comics. We'll be working hard this semester, doing a lot of reading and plenty of writing. The good news is that it should all be interesting. The texts are all really good books, though you may find you don't like them all equally well. The essays, too, will be guided by your own interest in the texts, and by the end of the course you'll be exploring the unmapped territory of literary comics on your own, following your own nose.

    Graphic Storytelling: Exploring Contemporary Comics (Issues and Problems in Twentieth-Century Literature and Culture)

    1 Rutgers University, Department of English Spring 2013 Graphic Storytelling: Exploring Contemporary Comics (Issues and Problems in Twentieth-Century Literature and Culture) 03:350:393 Instructor: Tahneer Oksman Murray Hall, Room 301 Contact: [email protected] Tues./Thurs., 1:10 – 2:30 PM Office: Murray Hall, 036A Office Hour: Tues., 2:30 – 3:30 PM and by appointment COURSE DESCRIPTION In her introduction to The Best American Comics 2011, cartoonist Alison Bechdel writes, “Art and language are always in flux, of course, but the somewhat younger mode of comics seems to be in a particularly molten state. Close readers may observe rivulets of lava cooling into new conventions right before their eyes” (xv). In this course, we will read a variety of contemporary comics, mostly from North America, in order to examine how comics can help us rethink genre. Specifically, we will attempt to decipher what graphic narratives can teach us about the assumptions that we make about storytelling conventions, and how contemporary cartoonists play with or breach such conventions. Some forms of storytelling that we will consider through readings of comics of various lengths, including texts commonly referred to as “graphic novels,” are documentary, fantasy, diary, short story, and memoir. We will focus heavily on the formal complexities of reading visual-textual interactions, with the goal of developing a common vocabulary for thinking, discussing, and writing about comics. We will address questions such as, is there an equivalent, in comics, of what we commonly refer to as “voice” in works of prose? In what ways do comics differ from other media, including film and prose? We will also briefly consider digital comics, and the ways that they force us to rethink the possibilities of the medium.

    Contents Welcome to Comics Forum 2 Programme 3 Abstracts 5 Profiles 13 Contributor Comics 19 Message from the Chair of 'Women in Comics II' Last year the first 'Women in Comics' Conference was held at The New Hall Collection, Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge. It was a great success and as I was told 'everyone loves a sequel', I am delighted to be chairing 'Women in Comics II', here in Leeds Art Gallery on 18th November 2010. This 'Women in Comics II' conference, like its predecessor, celebrates the growing interest in women in comics, in women reading comics, in women writing about comics, in women making comics. Our aim at these conferences is to be supportive of creative and academic endeavours in all these fields. The atmosphere we engender is one of mutual interest and encouragement, to benefit the continued growth in this community. There is wonderful array of speakers lined up for today's conference. I am particularly delighted by the range of nationalities present on the panels, and the opportunity to bring together different generations of women creators. Thanks go to those who have travelled extensively to be here, including Maureen Burdock from New Mexico, and The Danish Penneveninder (Penfriends), Monica Hee Eun Jensen, Rikke Hollaender, Karen Hansen and Ina Kjoelby Korneliussen. It is also a great honour to welcome Suzy Varty to 'Women in Comics II'. Her publication 'Heroine', was the first all women's comic to be published in the UK in 1977, and is the front cover of our programme. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone on the 'Women in Comics' Committee, including Catriona MacLeod and Rikke Platz Cortsen, for expertly managing the call for papers, Nicola Streeten for her technical skills, Dr Laurence Grove for his advice and support, Dr Mel Gibson for her support and suggestions, and our volunteers Harriet Kennedy and Emily Rabone.

  • Why Graphic Novels?

    Why Graphic Novels?

    Why Graphic Novels? Graphic novels may be a new format for your store, but they’re still all about telling stories. The way graphic novels tell their stories – with integrated words and pictures – looks different from traditional novels, poetry, plays, and picture books, but the stories they tell have the same hearts. Bone, by Jeff Smith, is a fantastical adventure with a monstrous villain and endearing heroes, like Harry Potter. American Born Chinese, by Gene Luen Yang, is a coming-of-age novel, like Catcher in the Rye. Fun Home, by Alison Bechdel, is a powerful memoir, like Running With Scissors. When people ask, ‘why graphic novels?’ the easiest answer you can give is, graphic novels tell stories that are just as scary and funny and powerful and heartwarming as prose. Here are two more sophisticated answers you can also try out. Education Graphic novels are a great way to go for kids making the transition from image-centric books to more text-based books, and for adults just learning English. Because of the combination of image and text in a graphic novel, readers get visual clues about what’s going on in the story even if their vocabulary isn’t quite up to all the words yet. And because graphic novels are told as a series of panels, reading graphic novels also forces readers to think and become actively involved each time they move between one panel and the next. What’s happening in that space? How do the story and the characters get from panel 1 to panel 2? Both television and the internet play a large part in our culture – images are becoming more and more integrated into everyone’s everyday life.
