APRIL 10 – 13 | HILTON ATLANTA • 1 We l c o m e Welcome to the 105th Annual Meeting of the Organization of American Historians! Meeting themes are rarely “ripped from the headlines” as if they were scripts from television’s Law and Order. However, the heated national debate over comprehensive immigration reform calls attention to American history’s perennial themes: the peopling of the United States and the great vitality derived from the diversity of the American population. “Crossing Borders,” then, seemed the appropriate choice to be the thematic focus of this year’s meeting.

In the span of five years, the balance of power in the comic book field had changed dramatically. Industry leader Dell had fallen out of favor thanks to a 1962 split with client Western Publications that resulted in the latter producing comics for themselves—much of it licensed properties—as the widely-respected Gold Key Comics. The stuffily-named National Periodical Publications—later better known as DC Comics—had seized the number one spot for itself al- though its flagship Superman title could only claim the honor of

  • Bloom County – Eine Kommentierte Comicübersetzung
    Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Departement Angewandte Linguistik Institut für Übersetzen und Dolmetschen Studiengang Übersetzen Diplomarbeit von Thomas Zeller Bloom County – Eine kommentierte Comicübersetzung Referent: Simon Lenz M. A., dipl. Übersetzer FH Abgabetermin: 15. Juli 2009 Abstract The main part of this thesis consists of a German translation of the US-American funny comic Bloom County – Toons for our times by Berkeley Breathed, published in 1984. In order to establish basic translation strategies, a closer look has been taken at the various phenomena that may occur in comics. The main challenge with regard to translation has turned out to be the connection between verbal and nonverbal elements. This connection may cause translation problems if, for example, a pun (verbal element) is based on a vis- ual element (nonverbal element). Since, while verbal content can be changed in transla- tion, nonverbal elements cannot be altered, the translator can be confronted with heavy constraints: on the one hand, the translation of the verbal elements has to make sense in relation to the nonverbal elements; on the other hand, the number of characters of the target text must not significantly exceed the number of characters of the source text. Thus, two main strategies can be applied: compensation of the verbal element in question (e.g. a pun) in a different panel or deviation from the source text. The latter strategy can be divided into several subgroups and may lead to a complete deviation from not only the lexical or syntactic level but also from the semantic level to reach the same effect in the target text as intended in the source text.

Canadian Magazine Illustrators at Home and in the United States, 1880-1960 by Shannon Jaleen Grove Doctor of Philosophy in Art History and Criticism Stony Brook University 2014 This dissertation analyzes nationalisms in the work of Canadian magazine illustrators in Toronto and New York, 1880 to 1960. Using a continentalist approach—rather than the nationalist lens often employed by historians of Canadian art—I show the existence of an integrated, joint North American visual culture. Drawing from primary sources and biography, I document the social, political, corporate, and communication networks that illustrators traded in. I focus on two common visual tropes of the day—that of the pretty girl and that of wilderness imagery.
