  • Decoding the Visual Rhetoric: Memory and Trauma in Lynda Barry's One! Hundred! Demons!
    http://wjel.sciedupress.com World Journal of English Language Vol. 8, No. 2; 2018 Decoding the Visual Rhetoric: Memory and Trauma in Lynda Barry’s One! Hundred! Demons! Partha Bhattacharjee & Priyanka Tripathi Department of Humanties and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Patna, India. Correspondence: E-mail: [email protected] Received: September 2, 2018 Accepted: September 20, 2018 Online Published: September 23, 2018 doi:10.5430/wjel.v8n2p37 URL: https://doi.org/10.5430/wjel.v8n2p37 Abstract Memory is an important tool in Lynda Barry’s One! Hundred! Demons! (2002) as she reconnoitres in non-linear fragments the personal trauma she faced while she was growing up. Layered into nineteen disjointed chapters, Barry’s graphic narrative is an amalgamation of images, collages and photographs, often following the pattern of a scrapbook style that justifies not only the events drawn in her narrative but also the motive of visual rhetoric in comics where visual images communicate and concretize meaning. Initially published as web comics (slate.com), each chapter consists of hand-painted vignettes of multifarious themes which are directly or indirectly linked to Barry’s life, covering from her childhood to adulthood. In the backdrop of these tools, techniques of visual rhetoric the objective of this paper is to investigate the form of the graphic narrative, the visual language employed in order to explore the traumatised childhood, memory and truth-telling in comics. Keywords: Trauma, Memory, Collage, Visual Language 1. Introduction Comics Studies emerges as a scholarly field in the second half of the 20th century and gains its boost to reach the acme in the current century.

  • Maus Author Art Spiegelman Headlines Holocaust Teach
    CONTACT: Alysa Landry Communications Associate [email protected] Dodi Klimoff Executive Assistant to the President [email protected] Naomi Housman Director of Institutional Advancement FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 23, 2021 [email protected] MAUS AUTHOR ART SPIEGELMAN HEADLINES HOLOCAUST TEACH-IN MELROSE PARK, Pa.—Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning artist, illustrator and author of Maus: A Survivor’s Tale, will speak Sunday, March 7, 2021, during the biennial Arnold and Esther Tuzman Memorial Holocaust Teach-In at Gratz College. The entire Teach-In program will be present- ed online. First published in serial form beginning in 1980, Maus is the true story of Spiegelman’s parents— Polish Jews who survived the Holocaust—portrayed in graphic memoir. Jews are depicted as mice and Nazis as cats in this narrative framed by the modern-day relationship between Spiegelman and his father. Maus appeared in book form in 1986 when Volume I, My Father Bleeds History, was published. In 1992, the same year Volume II, And Here My Troubles Began, was published, Maus became the first graphic novel to win the Pulitzer Prize. “We are honored to have a Pulitzer Prize-winning author whose two Maus books are iconic and powerful contributions to the public understanding of the Holocaust,” Gratz President Dr. Paul Finkelman said. Among works of Holocaust literature, Maus often ranks with Elie Wiesel’s Night and The Diary of Anne Frank, Dr. Finkelman noted. Unlike Wiesel and Frank, Spiegelman is not a Holocaust survivor, but rather the child of two survivors. “The children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors have the role of keeping the memory alive,” Dr.

It traces the development of postmodern American iction over the past half century and explores its key aesthetic, cul- tural, and political contexts. It examines its principal styles and genres, from the early experiments with metaiction to the most recent developments, such as the graphic novel and digital iction, and offers concise, compelling readings of many of its major works. An indispensable resource for students, scholars, and the gen- eral reader, the Companion both highlights the extraordinary achievements of postmodern American iction and provides illuminating critical frameworks for understanding it. paula geyh is Associate Professor of English at Yeshiva University.

    ENGL 370 Graphic Novel – Winter Session 2014 Instructor: Will Eggers Required Texts: McCloud, Scott. Understanding Comics. Miller, Frank. Batman: the Dark Knight Returns. Moore, Alan. Watchmen. Kirkman. The Walking Dead: Book 1. Days Gone By.(Compendium not required, but you may want.) O’Malley, Brian Lee. Scott Pilgrim 1-6. Speigelman, Art. The Complete Maus. Mazzuchelli, David. Asterios Polyp. Bechdel, Alison. Fun Home. Cruse, Howard. Stuck Rubber Baby, Sacco, Joe. Safe Area Goradze. Ideas to explore: Since the ground-breaking publication of Art Spiegelman's Maus in 1993, "graphic novels" have entered the global cultural mainstream. A truly multicultural genre, comics created by men and women around the world now appear in U.S. high school and college curricula, hold the attention of academic critics, and earn big box-office returns in cinematic adaptations. In this course we will survey the current field and read works of fiction (such as THE WATCHMEN), autobiography (MAUS, FUN HOME), journalism (SAFE AREA GORAZDE), and what we might call "comic theory" (UNDERSTANDING COMICS). And just as comics have become a global medium, they are perhaps inherently "postmodern." Many contemporary comics are self-conscious about questions of form and theories of representation, a characteristic that will help us formulate new versions of the questions often considered in literary study. How do words and pictures drawn together in sequential narratives tell stories? What different skills are needed to comprehend this complex play of image, language, and time? What can graphic books do that other books cannot, and what are the constraints that shape this form? In order to better understand these works and the culture that produced them, we will consider them through lenses including history, gender, psychology, and class, as well as their visual elements.

Supervisor: Brad Vice, Ph.D. The object of this undergraduate thesis is to map the development of sequential art, comics, in the form of respectable art form influencing contemporary other artistic areas. Modern comics were developed between the World Wars primarily in the United States of America and therefore became a typical part of American culture. The thesis is divided into three major parts. The first part called Sequential Art as a Medium discusses in brief the history of sequential art, which dates back to ancient world. The chapter continues with two sections analyzing the comic medium from the theoretical point of view. The second part inquires the origin of the comic book industry, its cultural environment, and consequently the birth of modern comic book.

  • A Video Conversation with Pulitzer Prize Recipient Art Spiegelman
    Inspicio the last laugh Introduction to Art Spiegelman. 1:53 min. Photo & montage by Raymond El- man. Music: My Grey Heaven, from Normalology (1996), by Phillip Johnston, Jedible Music (BMI) A Video Conversation with Pulitzer Prize Recipient Art Spiegelman By Elman + Skye From the Steven Barclay Agency: rt Spiegelman (b. 1948) has almost single-handedly brought comic books out of the toy closet and onto the A literature shelves. In 1992, he won the Pulitzer Prize for his masterful Holocaust narrative Maus— which por- trayed Jews as mice and Nazis as cats. Maus II continued the remarkable story of his parents’ survival of the Nazi regime and their lives later in America. His comics are best known for their shifting graphic styles, their formal complexity, and controver- sial content. He believes that in our post-literate culture the im- portance of the comic is on the rise, for “comics echo the way the brain works. People think in iconographic images, not in holograms, and people think in bursts of language, not in para- graphs.” Having rejected his parents’ aspirations for him to become a dentist, Art Spiegelman studied cartooning in high school and began drawing professionally at age 16. He went on to study art and philosophy at Harpur College before becoming part of the underground comix subculture of the 60s and 70s. As creative consultant for Topps Bubble Gum Co. from 1965-1987, Spie- gelman created Wacky Packages, Garbage Pail Kids and other novelty items, and taught history and aesthetics of comics at the School for Visual Arts in New York from 1979-1986.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.
