    Copyright 2013 Shawn Patrick Gilmore THE INVENTION OF THE GRAPHIC NOVEL: UNDERGROUND COMIX AND CORPORATE AESTHETICS BY SHAWN PATRICK GILMORE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Michael Rothberg, Chair Professor Cary Nelson Associate Professor James Hansen Associate Professor Stephanie Foote ii Abstract This dissertation explores what I term the invention of the graphic novel, or more specifically, the process by which stories told in comics (or graphic narratives) form became longer, more complex, concerned with deeper themes and symbolism, and formally more coherent, ultimately requiring a new publication format, which came to be known as the graphic novel. This format was invented in fits and starts throughout the twentieth century, and I argue throughout this dissertation that only by examining the nuances of the publishing history of twentieth-century comics can we fully understand the process by which the graphic novel emerged. In particular, I show that previous studies of the history of comics tend to focus on one of two broad genealogies: 1) corporate, commercially-oriented, typically superhero-focused comic books, produced by teams of artists; 2) individually-produced, counter-cultural, typically autobiographical underground comix and their subsequent progeny. In this dissertation, I bring these two genealogies together, demonstrating that we can only truly understand the evolution of comics toward the graphic novel format by considering the movement of artists between these two camps and the works that they produced along the way.

    Maybe More Than the Reading, I Enjoyed the Pictures. I Was Raised in a Strictly Spanish-Speaking Household, Where English Was Only My Second Language at School

    Preface: A Powerful Language I’ve always enjoyed reading; maybe more than the reading, I enjoyed the pictures. I was raised in a strictly Spanish-speaking household, where English was only my second language at school. So reading (especially out loud) was always a bit more challenging for me growing up. Nevertheless, I always tried but I never got the same satisfaction of understanding when I read a regular book, as opposed to when I’d read a book with pictures. Far from being interested in children’s books, I was reading Jim Davis’ collections of Garfield comic strips in my childhood. Though, many of the adults around me didn’t consider this to be adequate reading for me.1 They didn’t see how I could ever benefit from reading three- panel illustrations. Well actually, these witty comic strips were the gateway into reading for me.2 Sometime around the beginning of high school, I got my hands on a copy of Alan Moore’s Watchmen. It was the first time I experienced a graphic novel and I loved it. I loved it so much I became obsessed with that book and read it multiple times and shared it with others. And that’s how I became hooked on graphic novels. Introduction: Guess How I Started I spent over two weeks reading graphic novels and comics…for fun. It was really relaxing, even though I had to go through all of my reads at a pretty fast pace because I had so many books. The ratio of books I read in that amount of time was astonishing.

  • Cultural Appropriation in Craig Thomson's Graphic

    Cultural Appropriation in Craig Thomson's Graphic

    CULTURAL APPROPRIATION IN CRAIG THOMSON’S GRAPHIC NOVEL HABIBI SAFA AL-SHAMMARY UNIVERSITY OF GRANADA Craig Thompson’s Habibi (2011) is an American graphic novel based on a romantic fable that is set in an imaginary and modern Middle Eastern country. For the past cen- tury, the political turmoil in the Middle East has been caused to a large extent by West- ern geopolitical interests in the region (Ehteshami 2007, 123). The West, fueled by its power, has managed to control the East. Consequently, societies have evolved ways of labeling inclusion and exclusion based on the following factors: economic, political, ideological, societal, and cultural domination of another population. This phenome- non created a polarized spectrum of power using a binary approach of West versus East. Thompson’s graphic novel presents a political message in the context of social activism that has advanced the rationality of post-9/11 escalatory foreign policy in the Middle East. This neoliberal geopolitics, or neo-orientalist approach, has supported capitalistic economic ideologies in the way it has historically emerged. The domination of Western capitalism reflects European/American culture as distinctive and liberal in comparison to other cultures. This process is called “Othering” whereby the world is divided between “us/civilized” and “them/savage,” with those who are different being judged as inferior. The attempt to imitate the West in dress, speech, behavior, and life- style is accepted in cultures which continue to oppose each other. Such actions are associated with cultural appropriation or cultural misappropriation when authors adapt details of one culture assuming accuracy and epistemology, sometimes creating controversy.

    The Memory and Legacy of Trauma in Art Spiegelman's Maus Author(s): Puneet Kohli Source: Prandium - The Journal of Historical Studies, Vol. 1, No. 1 (Spring, 2012). Published by: The Department of Historical Studies, University of Toronto Mississauga Stable URL: http://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/prandium/editor/submission/16285/ Prandium: The Journal of Historical Studies 1 The Memory and Legacy of Trauma in Art Spiegelman’s Maus “Historical understanding is like a vision, or rather like an evocation of images”1 Amongst the plethora of Holocaust literature, monuments, films, documentaries, and exhibitions, Art Spiegelman’s graphical representation of the Holocaust and its memory in Maus I and II is one of the most poignant, striking, and creative. Groundbreaking in his approach, Spiegelman reinterprets and expands both the comic form and traditional mediums of telling history to express and relate the history of his survivor-father. Spiegelman also explores and addresses the burden and legacy of traumatic memory on second-generation survivors. Interweaving a variety of genres, characterizations, temporalities, and themes, Maus depicts the process of, and Spiegelman’s relationship to, remembrance through a combination of images and text. This paper situates Spiegelman’s work within the framework of second-generation Holocaust literature and post-memory, and will discuss the debate regarding Spiegelman’s representation of the memory process and the Holocaust in the comic medium, along with his use of animal characters instead of humans. Moreover the essay will critically analyze and enumerate the various themes within Maus such as the relation between past and present and the recording of memory.

    Perspectives on Inclusive Education: Need for Muslim Children's Literature

    religions Article Perspectives on Inclusive Education: Need for Muslim Children’s Literature Antum A. Panjwani ITREB Canada, 49 Wynford Drive, North York, ON M3C1K1, Canada; [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 30 June 2020; Accepted: 21 August 2020; Published: 3 September 2020 Abstract: Muslim students and communities in Western sociopolitical and educational contexts confront substantive challenges of racisms, Islamophobia, and under- and misrepresentations in media as well as in literature. Creating a robust repertoire of curricular resources for teaching and learning, teacher development programs, and schooling in general offers a promise of developing classroom practices, which in turn promotes an inclusive discourse that recognizes the unique position and presence of a Muslim child. The present article examines the prospects of developing such a curriculum called Muslim Children’s Literature for inclusive schooling and teacher development programs in the context of public education in Ontario, Canada. It is situated in the larger umbrella of creating specific theory and methodology for education that lend exposure to Muslim cultures and civilizations. Development of such a literature as curricular resources addresses the questions of Muslim identities through curriculum perceptions so as to initiate critical conversations around various educational challenges that the development and dissemination of Muslim curricular resources faces today. I make a case for developing Muslim Children’s Literature to combat the challenges of having limited repertoire to engage with Muslim students in public schools and teacher candidates in teacher development programs. With the description of the necessity of such a literature, this article outlines characteristics of the proposed genre of Muslim Children’s Literature, as well as the unique position of a Muslim child in the current educational scenarios.

Graphic novels are increasingly used as instructional resources, and they play an important role in supporting the recreational reading mission of academic libraries. The article will also tackle issues related to the cataloging and classification of graphic novels and discuss ways to use them for marketing and promotion of library services. A Brief Introduction to Graphic Novels Graphic novels grew out of the comic book movement in the 1960s and came into existence at the hands of writers who were looking to use the comic book format to address
