  • Images of Jewish Women in Comic Books and Graphic Novels. a Master’S Paper for the M.S
    Alicia R. Korenman. Princesses, Mothers, Heroes, and Superheroes: Images of Jewish Women in Comic Books and Graphic Novels. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. April 2006. 45 pages. Advisor: Barbara B. Moran This study examines the representations of Jewish women in comic books and graphic novels, starting with a discussion of common stereotypes about Jewish women in American popular culture. The primary sources under investigation include Gilbert Hernandez’s Love and Rockets X, Aline Kominsky-Crumb’s autobiographical works, the X-Men comic books, Art Spiegelman’s Maus and Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*!, Joann Sfar’s The Rabbi’s Cat, and J.T. Waldman’s Megillat Esther. The representations of Jewish women in comic books and graphic novels vary widely. And although certain stereotypes about Jewish women—especially the Jewish Mother and the Jewish American Princess—pervade American popular culture, most of the comics featuring Jewish characters do not seem to have been greatly influenced by these images.

  • Cultural Difference and Diversity in French- Language Comics
    Cultural Difference and Diversity in French- Language Comics The Editors The treatment of cultural difference and diversity by French-speaking cartoonists has changed radically over the last few decades, as four articles in this special issue demonstrate. What has not changed since the nineteenth century is the centrality of these themes to comics, which have been a globalizing medium in a shrinking world throughout the period. French-language comics are exemplary of these transformations, insofar as France was a major imperialist power during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Moreover, France has long been home to ethnic and religious minorities, and was a major center of immigration during the twentieth century. These socio- historical trends have left a huge imprint on comics within France itself, but the French also exported the form along with their language to most of their colonies, which has given rise to (post-)colonial traditions of cartooning in French-speaking regions across the globe. Belgium too has a signifi cant history of colonial intervention in Africa and of immigration and ethnic diversity within its own borders, which has had a signifi cant impact on comics in both Belgium and its former African colonies. French-language comics therefore constitute a rich fi eld for studying representations of cultural difference and diversity, although one can certainly also fi nd related trends and examples in comics of other European languages and national traditions: for example, in Italian comics one fi nds the black character Bilbolbul and other stories related to the colonization of Africa.1 On the other hand, one of the most important early cartoonists and theoreticians of comics was Swiss, not French or Belgian.

Similarly, in Peau noire, Masques blancs, Frantz Fanon also highlights the popularity of European bandes dessinées in the francophone world and observes the negative psychological impact of such texts on non-European readers who identify with Western explorer characters rather than with the racialized stereotypical images of non-European characters. One major factor for this is that the emergence and development of French and Belgian bandes dessinées took place during the height of European colonialism; bandes dessinées subsequently drew from and participated in a visual culture—such as travel postcards, brochures and keepsakes from colonial expositions, and in particular advertisements for exotic goods such as Banania—that ii helped construct the European imaginary of Africa.

It’s 1941. When this child of Russian-Jewish parents with a cheeky sparkle in his eyes crosses paths with the pro-Nazi French militia, he starts singing The Marseillaise anthem alongside them... even though he doesn‘t quite know the words. Then something stops young Lucien short – anti-Semitic propaganda featuring a caricature of a Jew. It’s an ugly face that resembles him a bit too closely. A face pinned up to be seen and scorned by all. He wants to run away or erase the grotesque face but does neither.

    FRANÇOIS ROCA ILLUSTRATOR NOMINEE FOR THE HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN AWARDS 2020 TABLE OF CONTENTS BIOGRAPHY 3 NOMINATING FRANÇOIS ROCA: THE REASONS BEHIND THE CHOICE 4 INTERVIEWS AND ARTICLES 5 AWARDS’ LIST 26 BIBLIOGRAPHY 29 TRANSLATED BOOKS 40 TOP TEN BOOKS 43 BOOKS SENT TO THE JURORS 46 The rights of all the images in this dossier are reserved. 2 BIOGRAPHY François Roca was born in Lyon (France) in 1971. He studied in Paris at the National School of Applied Arts Olivier-de-Serres, then in Lyon at the Émile-Cohl School; he graduated in 1993. He devoted himself a time to painting and then exclusively to illustration. He particularly illustrates the texts of his accomplice Fred Bernard, with whom he builds an imaginary universe renewed with each album. Since 1996, this "feather- brush" association allows him to visit themes rarely dealt with in children’s literature. An album marks a turning point in their collaboration: Jésus Betz wins the 2001 Baobab and Goncourt Jeunesse 2002 awards. That provides them with the freedom to tell stories for older children: The Bonsai-man, The Indian of the Eiffel Tower... François likes to give life to characters close to those who made him dream as a child, characters he met in the cinema or in front of the television. He also produces covers for novels and magazines and collaborates regularly with American publishers. Heir to the painters he loves and admires (E. Fromentin, E. Hopper, F. Remington, J. W. Waterhouse, N. C. Wyeth, Vermeer…), he pays tribute to them in his albums; he cites them with winks or transpositions that allow to build bridges between artists over time.

  • Robert Doisneau Through the Lense
    ROBERT DOISNEAU THROUGH THE LENSE BY CLÉMENTINE DEROUDILLE WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF ARTE FRANCE ”Tere is one more treasure that I wish to pass down to my son : a legacy that is just as im- portant as customs, traditions, photo albums, cooking recipes, pieces of furniture and houses handed down from one generation to the next and enhanced or worn out by the hand of time. Tere are many facets to this legacy: I wish to pass down my curiosity for each and every human activity, a certain thirst for knowledge that has become a way of life, a strong willpower in every thought and every gesture so as to learn the useful albeit tough discipline of life, but most importantly, I wish to pass down the power to love and be loved.” RENÉ TAVERNIER. Introduction read by Jean-Louis Trintignant 3 AUTHOR'S NOTE 4 “Doisneau: through the lense” will be an original and novel flm portrait of the artist Robert Doisneau featuring previously unissued sound and video archives – sometimes belonging to the photographer’s own private collection – as well as interviews of his friends and partners in crime. Te aim of this documentary is to relate the story of Doisneau’s life and work as faithfully as possible. 5 Last July, I recorded two radio shows about my grandfather for the French public radio: http://www.franceculture.fr/emission-libre-cours-robert-doisneau-12-2014-07-26 Without infringing upon his privacy, these programs allowed me to talk about my grandfather in my own voice and to uncover another side of Doisneau’s character, to go beyond the clichéd view people may have of him and his pictures.
