  • English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada
    Drawing on the Margins of History: English-Language Graphic Narratives in Canada by Kevin Ziegler A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Kevin Ziegler 2013 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This study analyzes the techniques that Canadian comics life writers develop to construct personal histories. I examine a broad selection of texts including graphic autobiography, biography, memoir, and diary in order to argue that writers and readers can, through these graphic narratives, engage with an eclectic and eccentric understanding of Canadian historical subjects. Contemporary Canadian comics are important for Canadian literature and life writing because they acknowledge the importance of contemporary urban and marginal subcultures and function as representations of people who occasionally experience economic scarcity. I focus on stories of “ordinary” people because their stories have often been excluded from accounts of Canadian public life and cultural history. Following the example of Barbara Godard, Heather Murray, and Roxanne Rimstead, I re- evaluate Canadian literatures by considering the importance of marginal literary products. Canadian comics authors rarely construct narratives about representative figures standing in place of and speaking for a broad community; instead, they create what Murray calls “history with a human face . the face of the daily, the ordinary” (“Literary History as Microhistory” 411).

  • CHAPTER FOUR from Riot Grrrl to Fine Artist: Transformations in the Work of Julie Doucet
    CHAPTER FOUR From Riot Grrrl to fine artist: transformations in the work of Julie Doucet In Unpopular Culture, his study of 1990s European comic books, Bart Beaty examines the ways in which these comics’ creators have shifted their claims to legitimacy from literature to the visual arts. He argues that “the evolution from a criterion of value with its basis in the novel to one rooted in the artist’s book is the most significant shift in the orientation of the comics field in the past century”.1 His focus is on European, primarily Francophone comics, and he states that the US tradition (in which he includes Canada and Britain) operates quite different criteria of value. In his conclusion, however, Beaty notes the exceptions to the rule, and the example he gives is that of Julie Doucet.2 Doucet, he explains, is one of the few to straddle the European and American comics markets, producing highly individual, stylised books in both French and English, and publishing her work both through the Canadian comics press Drawn and Quarterly and through French publishers like L’Association, Seuil and Le Dernier Cri. Doucet’s range is not just cultural and linguistic but takes her beyond the comics field altogether. Many comics writers and artists produce non-comics work, often largely for financial reasons: Robert Crumb started out as an illustrator of greetings cards, Dave McKean has worked on films, CD and book covers, and Chris Ware has completed a number of design projects including posters, books and the façade of a building. Doucet, however, has moved decisively away from comics for creative as well as financial reasons, and in spite of the high regard in which her comics are held she has claimed to dislike producing them.3 This shift in her work is not simply a change of heart but indicative of the personal development of an artist whose work contains substantial elements of autobiography.

These impressions surelywill be modifiedif membersrealize that the list alwayscontains more or less 'padding.' For instanceall Emeritusand Honorary Fellowsand Honorary Asso- ciates (a total of 66) pay no dues. CorrespondingFellows (86 in number) also do not contributeto upkeepof the Union exceptas individually a smallnumber of them subscribeto 'The Auk.' Padding further resultsfrom inclusionin the list, for a variety of reasons,of the namesof delinquents,in numbersthat havesometimes been very considerable.Efforts have been made to eliminatethese, culminatingthis year in the most drasticstep yet taken, namely, cullingof practicallyall of those delinquentfor more than a year. Under the By-laws, the droppingof even these recent delinquentsseems to be warranted but that action has been deemedinex- pedient. Omissionof namesfrom this printed list does not mean that the persons Concerned have beendroppod from the Union. Dues are receivedat all times of the year but eompfiationof the directorymust stop at somedefinite date. A membermay be restoredto good standingthe day after the list goesto pressbut the fact cannot then be recordedin print. The Treasurer'scard-file is the real rosterof the Union and that officer is authorized to restore to the roll to original date regularly elected membersof any classupon payment of back dues.
