Brozgal, Chair “The Algerian War of Independence in Algerian bande dessinée” is animated by the question of how bande dessinée from Algeria represent the nation’s struggle for independence from France. Although the war is represented extensively in bande dessinée from France and Algeria, French texts are more well-known than their Algerian counterparts among scholars and bédéphiles alike. Catalysts behind this project are the disproportionate awareness and study of French bande dessinée on the war and the fact that critical studies of Algerian bande dessinée are rare and often superficial. This project nevertheless builds upon existing scholarship by problematizing its assumptions and conclusions, including the generalization that Algerian bande dessinée that depict the war are in essence propagandistic in nature. Employing tools of comics analysis and inflecting my research with journalistic work coming out of Algeria, this project attempts to rectify the treatment of Algerian bande dessinée in critical scholarship by illustrating ii the rich tradition of historical representation in the medium.

Thelijjagoda3 1Department of Software Engineering, Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology, Malabe, Sri Lanka 2 Department of Information Technology, Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology, Malabe, Sri Lanka 3Department of Information Systems Engineering, Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology, Malabe, Sri Lanka [email protected] Keywords: Comics, Visual and Literacy Barriers, Recognition, Association, Image Processing, Machine Learning, Audio Story. Abstract: Comic books are very popular across the world due to the unique experience they provide for all of us in the society without any age limitation. Because of this attraction, which comic books have received, it has proved that comic literature will be able to survive in the twenty first century, even with the existence of multi- dimensional movie theatres as its competitors. While the biggest global filmmakers are busy with making movies from comic books, many researchers have been investigating their time on digitizing the comic stories as it is, expecting to create a new era in the comic world. But most of them have focused only on one or few components of the story. This paper is based on a research which aims to give the full experience of enjoying the comic books for everyone in the world despite of visual and literacy barriers people are having. Proposed solution comes as a web application that translates input image of a comic story into a text format and delivers it as an audio story to the user.

    Article The interaction of cartoonist's gender and formal features of cartoons SAMSON, Andrea Christiane, HUBER, Oswald Abstract The present study investigates gender differences in the use of formal features of cartoons, like the amount of text, the number of panels, or the application of color. For the analysis, 300 cartoons (150 each by female and male cartoonists) were selected randomly from the works of 1519 cartoonists. Twenty-one formal features were analyzed. On average, female cartoonists use more text, include text more frequently, and also draw more panels. These differences were expected, because Differential Psychology has shown for a long time in a variety of cultures that, on average, women tend to perform better in tasks testing verbal intelligence whereas men perform significantly better in tasks that require spatial intelligence. We also found a difference in the type of joke: Women more frequently draw cartoons with incongruity-resolution humor, whereas men prefer to draw cartoons with nonsense humor. The results are discussed in relation to gender differences in humor processing and gender differences in general. Reference SAMSON, Andrea Christiane, HUBER, Oswald.

  • The Interaction of Image and Text in Modern Comics
    240 Lambeens And Pint Chapter 12 The Interaction of Image and Text In Modern Comics Tom Lambeens and Kris PintLambeens and Pint Introduction The combination of image and text is undoubtedly one of the most typical features of the comic strip genre. This combination in itself is, of course, far from new. Sequential images were already combined with textual elements in Egyptian hieroglyphs or medieval manuscripts and paintings.1 The comic strip as such evolved in the first half of the nineteenth century, with artists like Rodolphe Töpffer (influenced by William Hogarth), Wilhelm Busch and Pehr Nord quist, all of whom created stories that were easy to reproduce and com­ bined words and images, albeit still strictly separated from each other. Inspired by the American newspaper comics of the early twentieth century, like Frede­ rik Burr Opper’s Happy Hooligan (1900) and Alphonse and Gaston (1901), the European comic strip started to integrate speech balloons into the image itself, with Hergé’s Les Aventures de Tintin as its most prominent and best­known ex­ ponent.2 Initially conceived for the youth supplement of a Belgian newspaper, Tintin proved so successful that his adventures were soon published in book form as well. The emergence of real comic books meant an important evolu­ tion of comics, a move away from the rather transitory medium of the newspa­ per. Yet for a long time, comic books were mostly seen as children’s entertain­ ment. In the seventies, this view began to change with the emergence of the so­called “graphic novel,” which featured more mature content and, at times, a more experimental style of drawing as well.
