A COGNITIVE THEORY for ADAPTING COMICS to the STAGE by Kelley Laurel Feeman This Thesis Develops ABSTRACT ADAPTING IMAGINATION: A COGNITIVE THEORY FOR ADAPTING COMICS TO THE STAGE by Kelley Laurel Feeman This thesis develops a new adaptational technique for visual media, such as comics and graphic novels, into live performances. By rooting adaptational practice in the theory of distributed cognition, I propose that adaptors can consider the cognitive task and distributed system of source materials. The adaptor can then also consider the distributed system of the host medium to ensure staged adaptations that both seek to replicate the cognitive experience of the source material, and account for the differences in cognitive tasks across media and in host media. Through this cognitive understanding of the adaptational processes, theatre makers can produce works that engage human imagination in unique ways; drawing on the cognitive engagement systems of comics and live theatre. To build this theory, I primarily draw on visual language theorist Neil Cohn as well as distributed cognition theorist Evelyn Tribble.

To my family for always believing in me and encouraging me to find what makes me come alive. To Claire Mahave for being the first person to show me the joy of writing. And, to Dr. Brian O’Camb for being the first person to show me the joy of research and for motivating me to study comics. v Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge my advisors, Melanie Mortimore and Dr. Christiana Molldrem Harkulich, whose guidance, insights, and listening ears allowed this thesis to take shape. I would also like to acknowledge Dr. Patrick Murphy, whose love of Krazy Kat and willingness to talk to me about comics shaped the foundations of my work. Additionally, I would like to acknowledge Shelby Scaffidi, Holly West, and Madison Kollig. The help, talent, and care that I received from these humans made our production process more beautiful than I could have imagined. Lastly, I want to acknowledge my cohort- Mackenzie Kirkman, Rachel Brandenburg, Stormi Bledsoe, and Kelcey Broomfield. The love of these brilliant and outstanding artists has inspired me beyond measure. vi INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW When adapting from one medium to another, people often talk about trying to adapt a “quality;” something intangible. But how can adaptational techniques be replicated if the methods aren’t suggesting a quantifiable system? In recent years, adaptations of comics and graphic novels have become popular in film, TV, and (to a lesser extent) on the stage. Their sister medium, picture books, have been adapted for decades, often in puppetry and rarely for adults. These trends can be interpreted as a human impulse to adapt visual media into performance, but why? Moreover, in any type of adaptation, how do we come to make choices about how one medium is adapted into another? I am particularly interested in the adaptation from comics (comix, graphic novels, picture books etc.) into staged performances. Adaptation of these media has been largely theoretically ignored, and distinct process for the adaptation of one to the other has lacked methodology. To understand comic adaptation for the stage, I started by questioning how we understand the respective media: comics and live theatre. If the adaptor understands the source material’s and the host medium’s cognitive task, a new adaptational system can be created. This new adaptational system would foster a mutual respect for the differences between media and would provide the methodology for replicating the experience of interacting with source material. A thorough analysis of the mechanics of movement and framing within comics can help us to understand both how readers participate in the reading of comics and their complex visual language system. Ultimately, this is a cognitive task. The comics reader draws on a system of learned knowledge of images and systems- visual language- to make meaning from a comic’s series of panels and illustrations. The comics reader also understands what they’ve read based on a multitude of factors, which I will explore in Chapter 1. These factors come together in a system to make meaning for the reader, or the theatregoer. Therefore, using cognitive theories, such as distributed cognition, can aid the adaptor in understanding how the source material and the host medium function. Adaptational technique rooted in a distributed approach allows the adaptor to view all components of the comic and of live theatre simultaneously and adapt with an eye towards the cognitive impact on the participant. I am invested in the ways in which cognitive processes work in the source material versus a live adaptation. Understanding the cognitive task of the source material, I argue, can lead to informed adaptational choices that quantifiably can be linked to the host medium. I offer that methodology based in cognitive distribution can help to 1 answer questions about how to merge rather than transplant media in adaptation. If we seek to understand how a source material engages the reader, I argue that we must understand the cognitive system at play. By understanding not only the isolated parts of the source material, but also the system that connects them, we can begin to forge a new adaptational technique. Adapting isolated parts of a source material into a new medium yields distracted and confused new works. Accounting for the distributed cognitive systems in each of the media (source and host), can lead us to staged adaptations that seek both to reference the cognitive task of the source material while creating a new hybrid imaginative event for the audience. Contextualizing Comic Theory and Discourse Writing critically about comics and graphic novels is a relatively new endeavor in the academic world. However, there are some pieces of critical work that engage and analyze

  • Slapstick and Self-Reflexivity in George Herriman's Krazy
    Slapstick and Self-Reflexivity in George Herriman‘s Krazy Kat BEN JUERS 1 Between 1912 and 1944, a ‗meteoric burlesk drama‘ unfolds in the comic strip section of the newspapers belonging to Randolph Hearst‘s King Features Syndicate.1 It is enacted over four panels on weekdays and an entire page on Sundays. The cast is made up of an androgynous and racially ambiguous cat named Krazy, an unsentimental mouse named Ignatz, and a well-meaning yet misguided bulldog named Offissa Pupp. Together, they form a love triangle, around which is generated a plot that remains ostensibly the same over the years. Ignatz throws a brick at Krazy, seeking to punish ‗that fool kat‘ for her naïveté.2 Krazy misinterprets the brick as a token of affection, and eagerly awaits the ‗messidge of love‘ from ‗dahlink‘ Ignatz, her ‗li‘l ainjil‘.3 Offissa Pupp, jealous of the relationship between Krazy and Ignatz, pursues and jails Ignatz for his brick-throwing misdemeanours. Innovative Ignatz persists, devising ways to elude Pupp and deliver the brick to Krazy‘s head. He drops it from hot air balloons, flings it through peepholes and takes refuge inside prams, sombreros, pelican‘s mouths and boxes. Coconino County provides the backdrop for this espionage, shifting from panel to panel in a ‗perpetual 1 e.e. cummings, ‗Introduction‘, in George Herriman, Krazy Kat, ed. Joseph Greene and Rex Chessman (New York: Madison Square Press, 1977), p.10. cummings intentionally misspells ‗burlesk‘, in keeping with Herriman‘s idiosyncratic spelling. 2 25/8/18. Although Krazy is androgynous, I will refer to her as feminine for the sake of consistency, and to differentiate her from Ignatz and Offissa Pupp, who are both male.

  • Identity and Form in Alternative Comics, 1967 – 2007
    IDENTITY AND FORM IN ALTERNATIVE COMICS, 1967 – 2007 Emma Tinker UCL 2008 1 I, Emma Tinker, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT Identity and Form in Alternative Comics, 1967 – 2007 In the late 1960s, underground cartoonists established the comic book form as a space for the exploration of personal identity. “Alternative” comics grew out of this tradition as subsequent writers produced work independently of the major comics publishers, aimed at an adult audience and encompassing a broad range of visual styles and narrative content. Throughout the past forty years, British, US and Canadian writers and artists have used this medium to explore questions of selfhood and perception, often implicitly or overtly relating these issues to the form, history and conventions of the comic book itself. Two main threads run through this discussion of the representation of selfhood: childhood and memory on the one hand and sexuality and gender on the other. This thesis argues that for many creators there exists a useful analogy between the comic book form and mental processes, specifically between the fractured, verbal-visual blend of the comics page and the organisation of human memory. It further suggests that the historical association of comics first with childhood, and subsequently with male adolescence, has conditioned the representation of selfhood in adult comics. Comic book consumption has often centred on a community of predominantly young, white, male, socially marginal readers, buying and collecting serialised narratives.
