Graphic Novels Fall 2012 Syllabus Literary Studies Proseminar Words, Images, and the Spaces In-Between: Graphic Novels as Literature? fall 2012 Monday, 5.00–6.30 p.m. Department of American Studies Attemsgasse 25, SR34D2 (top floor) (1) About the Course Graphic novels are a genuinely American art form and have (together with comics) drawn a growing interest from the academic community since the 1980s. In the 1990s, the field finally started to get credibility when Art Spiegelman’s graphic narrative Maus was awarded a Pulitzer Prize and Scott McCloud’s seminal study Understanding Comics was published. It was, however, already in the second half of the 1970s that the term ‘graphic novel’ emerged. Artists have frequently critiqued the term ‘‘for its insecure pretension’’ (as Daniel Raeburn has it), among other things. Others see it, in the words of Eddie Campbell, as ‘‘an emerging new literature of our times in which word, picture, and typography interact meaningfully and which is in tune with the complexity of modern life.’’ Be that as it may, the term has stuck to describe long and (more or less) cohesive fictional narratives presented in comic-strip format. Whether the graphic novel is considered the next evolutionary stage in the development of literature following the epic and novel (cf. Kuipers 2012) or a medium of its own, with its own history, grammar, and conventions, scholarly commentary, not the least due to the emergence of journals such as the International Journal of Comic Art (since 1999), Studies in Comics (since 2010), and the Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics (since 2010), has shown that graphic novels (and comics) are, indeed, worthy of academic investigation. (2) Course Materials All secondary readings will be available online (see link on UGO or ‘Teaching’ section of my website). The graphic novels are available in cbz/cbr format, too. Those of you who don’t have any experience in reading comics on iPads, e-readers, or computers, just search for cbz, cbr, or comics reader------you’ll find loads of them out there. Even though most materials will be available digitally, you still need to acquire: Paul Auster: City of Glass (1985); unless you already have it, please buy the most up-to-date Faber & Faber edition of The New York Trilogy (ca. €7) or you might also buy the kindle edition (which is €1.29 as of writing this syllabus)------while you can get City of Glass as a standalone book, The New York Trilogy is generally cheaper Note: You must have read the novel by October 22, so order it soon. It’s a rather short novel, since it’s part of a trilogy; 150 pages or so. It’s a typically postmodernist piece, however, which is why those of you who haven’t read postmodernist texts so far might have a rather hard time, so don’t underestimate it as a ‘quick read’. If you don’t feel like reading the graphic novels on an e-reader, I guess you’ll have to somehow acquire all of them (which is probably cheaper than printing, but still pretty costly, especially in the case of Southland Tales, which is out of print). Editions don’t really matter with comics/graphic novels, since the page layouts are always the same and many of them aren’t paginated, so if you don’t care about paper quality, grab the cheapest edition you can get … (3) Course Work & Grading Grading < 60% = Fail (‘‘nicht genugend’’)̈ ≥ 60% = D (‘‘genugend’’)̈ ≥ 70% = C (‘‘befriedigend’’) ≥ 80% = B (‘‘gut’’) ≥ 90 % = A (‘‘sehr gut’’) Grading Criteria 30% paper or creating a comic 30% online responses 30% participation in class 10% writing prompts What goes into this calculation is not the individual grades, but the individual percent of the maximum points, for example, 90% on paper plus 80% on participation, and so on instead of an A on the paper, a B on blogging, etc. Passing the course does not depend on fulfilling all of the criteria. You may decide not to participate in class discussions, not to write online responses, etc., but------of course------it means that you’re willingly waiving your right to a better grade. (a1) Paper (30%) You are expected to write a paper or an essay (‘paper’ in the following) on a topic related to comics/graphic novels------i.e., from topics such as race, class, or gender in a given comic to adapting a given graphic novel to the big screen, turning it into a video game, etc. Your paper is expected to be ca. 4,000 words (incl. references etc.), but quantity is no substitute for quality! You may write your paper with a partner, in which case the paper should be ca. 5,000 words. If you choose to co-author a paper, both of you will, of course, get the same points on the paper. However, if you’re co-authoring a paper, the entire paper should be on one level as far as language, style, and quality of analysis are concerned. I don’t want to see right away that person A wrote chapters 1 and 2 and person B chapters 3 and 4 (worst-case scenario: you’re even using different fonts; you might not quite believe it------I certainly didn’t------but these things do, in fact, happen …). I won’t be suggesting paper topics------write about something you’re (hopefully) interested in. Paper topics should be fixed on Friday after the Christmas break at the latest. All topics are subject to my approval. Also, at some point during the semester, I’ll be posting a ‘term paper checklist’ on the website. I don’t do that because I think it’s fun------those are guidelines that are meant to be observed and also some pieces of advice as to how to improve your writing. You’re more than welcome to email your papers (if you don’t receive a confirmation of receipt within 24 hours, your email was likely lost somewhere in the depths of cyberspace; in that case: re-send). If you email your paper, you’ll also receive the correction digitally. Digital copies are to be submitted as pdf, doc(x), or rtf. Even though this should be clear in our day and age, just to make sure: Hand-written papers are not accepted! Generally, I won’t be returning a marked paper, but only general comments. However, if you want more thorough marking (especially in terms of language), I’m more than happy to comply with that wish, but please tell me so (mention it in the mail or something). Please note that once you’ve submitted your paper, there is no revising or anything. You can, however, send me drafts (February 8 at the latest) for me to comment on or discuss in person. Papers are graded according to a scheme that considers (a) language (15%), (b) organization (15%), (c) the formulation of a thesis, research questions and the related analysis or a thorough, theoretically well-founded descriptive analysis (40%), (d) preparation and/or originality (20%), and e) the use of sources, correct citation (10%; for details, see info on website/UGO). For citations, you may follow the English Department’s style sheet, MLA, Harvard, or Chicago Style, but use parenthetical citations, not foot- or endnotes (even though Chicago Style prefers the use of endnotes in the Humanities, don’t; Chicago also has an in-text citation style). Papers must cite (and thus also quote or paraphrase!) at least 5 secondary sources (wikis, reviews, and student guides don’t count as sources; neither do student papers------diploma, M.A., and Ph.D. theses do, of course, count). As far as secondary sources are concerned: Do yourself a favor and read the assigned texts in an economic way------you’ll find several general (or generalizable) statements in each assigned text, which can be used in pretty much any given paper. The deadline for papers is February 15, 2013. Paper copies have to be handed in on that day before noon in the secretary’s office, digital copies may be emailed until February 15, 11.59 p.m. CET (but if I don’t have the paper in my virtual inbox on February 16 [since emails don’t necessarily arrive within seconds] and see that it was posted before midnight, it will be counted as a late submission). You can hand in your paper until February 28, 2013, but for each week it is handed in late, you’ll lose 10% on the paper (i.e., -10% for submission by February 22; -20% February 28). In case you’re planning to take the first ‘Fachprüfung’ next semester and it takes place in the first week of March: Don’t submit your paper a couple of minutes before midnight of February 28 and ask me to grade your paper by the following Monday so you can register for the exam------just don’t. Plagiarism is not accepted. No matter how you did in other aspects of grading, plagiarism in your paper results in failing the class. If you are uncertain of how to document sources or how to quote, please ask me. Mini-Paper to Pass the Class If you happen to have more than 50% prior to submitting a paper and all you want is pass the class, you can submit a short essay on a comics-related topic by February 8. If you’re above 55%, the paper should be 1,000 words and cite 2 sources; if you’re between 50.01 and 55.00, the paper should be 1,500 words and cite 3 sources.

Signature Date: 17/12/2020 ii iii ABSTRACT Since the development of the superhero genre in the late 1930s it has been a contentious area of cultural discourse, particularly concerning its depictions of gender politics. A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.

The purpose of this research is to adapt the approaches used by prominent and influential writers and artists in the American superhero/action comic-book field to create an engaging Australian hero comic book. Further, the aim of this thesis is to bridge the gap between the lack of academic writing on the professional practice of the Australian comic industry. In order to achieve this, I explored and learned the methods these prominent and professional US writers and artists use. Compared to the American industry, the creating of comic books in Australia has rarely been documented, particularly in a formal capacity or from a contemporary perspective. The process I used was to navigate through the research and studio practice from the perspective of a solo artist with an interest to learn, and to develop into an artist with a firmer understanding of not only the medium being engaged, but the context in which the medium is being created.

  • John Bolton – Cronologia Italiana
    21/8/2015 John Bolton - Cronologia Italiana JOHN BOLTON Bibliografia Italiana di Stefano Marchesini Nonostante la frequentazione dei generi piu' disparati (di grande successo - ad esempio - il suo run su CLASSIC X-MEN), John Bolton e' famoso ed apprezzato soprattutto per aver illustrato numerosi fumetti fantasy ed horror, temi questi ultimi che ha piu' volte dimostrato di prediligere; maestro sia del B/N che del colore, dotato di un inconfondibile stile classicheggiante, e' dagli anni '80 che le sue creature ora bizzarre, ora terrifiche, ora sensuali infestano non solo le pagine dei comics, ma anche copertine di libri, cards, giochi di ruolo ed altro ancora; negli ultimi tempi Bolton si e' dedicato con crescente impegno alla pittura, riducendo la produzione prettamente fumettistica, laddove ha convertito la propria tecnica ad un uso massiccio della computer graphic; di conseguenza anche in Italia si sono viste con minor frequenza sue nuove pubblicazioni, pur se da noi la sua bibliografia resta particolarmente ricca e poche delle antiche opere migliori sono rimaste inedite: tra queste ricordiamo ARMY OF DARKNESS, stranamente trascurata dagli editori di casa nostra. La produzione artistica di Bolton e' vasta e diversificata ed e' quindi possibile che questo indice, dedicato alle opere pubblicate in Italia, sconti delle omissioni; un grazie anticipato agli amici che le segnaleranno. 6° aggiornamento: 29 marzo 2014 A1 (serie di 6, 1989-92) - ATOMEKA #1 bad bread (*) the ear of seeing (*) #2 empty chairs (*) #3 point of view graham marks/j.b.

  • Miracleman: Dream of Flying Book 1 Free Download
    MIRACLEMAN: DREAM OF FLYING BOOK 1 FREE DOWNLOAD Mick Anglo,Alan Davis | 152 pages | 02 Jul 2014 | Marvel Comics | 9780785154624 | English | New York, United States Miracleman Book 1: A Dream of Flying A true classic. Unable to keep pace with the U. Four out of five stars. Brilliant stuff where the mix of the real world and the larger than life are perfectly balanced. Meanwhile however, other parties have taken notice of Miracleman's return. In the recurring dreams, he is investigating what appears to be a crashed spaceship in an Arctic wasteland. I think? I saw a portion of that, and it appeared that Bruce Willis was himself and Julia Roberts was a Julia Roberts impersonator? The real physical consequences of being able to fly in super-speed is even touched upon at one point, along with the thanklessness of being heroic, where Miracleman rescues a child from his nemesis Kid Miracleman, thus accidentally breaking a few ribs before returning him to his aggrieved mother, who says "Give him to me, you bloody monster!! Science Fiction. Welcome back. Miracleman: Dream of Flying Book 1 perhaps we will be the less for that. The stories are still dense, but they're accessible, readable, and don't presuppose that the audience has an encyclopedic knowledge of every obscure, forgotten novel written in the last years. There are some bizarre side characters from the future called the Warpsmiths who talk in this hideous-to-read Clockwork Orange facsimile style and whose stories were so abstract that I could not follow — or really care about - what was happening.

  • Representations of Hiv/Aids in Popular American Comic Books, 1981- 1996
    REPRESENTATIONS OF HIV/AIDS IN POPULAR AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS, 1981- 1996 William Richard Avila A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2021 Committee: Jeffrey Brown, Advisor Michael Decker Graduate Faculty Representative William Albertini Timothy Messer-Kruse © 2021 William Richard Avila All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeffery Brown, Advisor From 1981-1996, the United States experienced an epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) that held profound implications for issues ranging from civil rights, public education, and sexual mores, to government accountability, public health, and expressions of heterosexism. Popular comic books that broached the subject of HIV/AIDS during the U.S. epidemic elucidate how America’s discourse on the disease evolved in an era when elected officials, religious leaders, legal professionals, medical specialists, and average citizens all struggled to negotiate their way through a period of national crisis. The manner whereby comic book authors, illustrators, and publishers engaged the topic of HIV/AIDS changed over time but, because comic books are an item of popular culture primarily produced for a heterosexual male audience, such changes habitually mirrored the evolution of the nation’s mainstream, heteronormative debates regarding the epidemic and its sociocultural and political implications. Through studying depictions of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in popular comic books, alterations in the heterocentric, national discourse emerge revealing how homophobic dismissals of the “gay plague” in the early 1980s gave way to heterosexual panic in the mid-1980s, followed by the epidemic’s reinterpretation as a national tragedy in the late-1980s.

Women and Watchmen: Opening Alan Moore's Refrigerator By Sally Ferguson Ouachita Baptist University Aprill4, 2014 2 Preface Zack Snyder's film adaption of Watchmen was my first exposure to the rabid side of the comic book enthusiasts. During that year, I took tottering steps towards comic books and superheroes, but the clamor of frenzied supporters of the film battling zealous purists nearly blew me off my feet. Alan Moore -the name reverberated through the internet and spilled onto the sidewalks in front of the movie theater. I pondered the identity of this individual for an infinitesimal amount of time before contenting myself with Batman for a few years. Years later, various enthusiasts were singing his praises to me, painting him as the god of the graphic novel, the original breaker of stereotypes. So, I settled in one weekend with a copy of Watchmen and braced myself.
