Susane Rodrigues de Oliveira EDITORA CHEFE história, histórias. Brasília, vol. 4, n. 7, 2016. ISSN 2318-1729 APRESENTAÇÃO De mídia desacreditada à forma de expressão cult, muita coisa aconteceu com as histórias em quadrinhos (HQs). O fato é que a indústria cinematográfica, editoras e a internet se renderam aos quadrinhos nos últimos anos. E assim também a academia. Certamente tal fato não é de todo novo: desde os anos 1960 os quadrinhos já chamavam a atenção de nomes como Umberto Eco, Luc Boltanski, Marshall McLuhan e Pierre Bourdieu. Neil Gaiman relembra com certo cinismo e ironia “(...)[d]aqueles remotos dias de felicidade e prosperidade antes de cada Universidade ter um curso sobre „O Romance Gráfico‟1”. O estabelecimento dos quadrinhos enquanto tema de estudos na universidade é bem claro no hemisfério norte. Todos os componentes usualmente esperados para o reconhecimento acadêmico e social de uma área de estudos podem ser encontrados. Nos mundos anglo-saxão e franco-belga, encontram-se pesquisadores que se reconhecem como comics scholars e que integram uma comunidade acadêmica de comic studies, reunidos em associações2 e contam com uma série de periódicos especializados em HQs3. Em 2009 foi lançado o primeiro reader sobre o tema, logo seguido por outros4. Editoras acadêmicas como University Press of Mississipi, Routledge e Palgrave 4 Macmillian contam com séries exclusivamente dedicadas aos quadrinhos, contribuindo para boa parte da bibliografia sobre o tema que não para de crescer. Acima de tudo, o melhor é constatar o esforço pelo estabelecimento de diálogo entre ambos os mundos. Isolados em outros contextos pela barreira linguística e mesmo pelos diferentes desenvolvimentos históricos que os 1 GAIMAN, Neil. Introdução. In: WAY, G.; BÁ, G. The umbrella academy. São Paulo: Devir, 2011, p. 8. 2 Dentre as em atividade no momento, destaca-se a Comics Studies Society. Seu interesse abrange “todos os tipos de arte sequencial” – de tiras e revistas em quadrinhos a animações e “outras formas e tradições relacionadas” – e procura estimular a “diversidade nos comic studies”, entre outros objetivos. Cf.: http://www.comicssociety.org/ (acesso em 15 jul. 2016). No Brasil, a Associação de Pesquisadores em Arte Sequencial (ASPAS) foi fundada em 2012 e busca promover academicamente os quadrinhos por meio de encontros periódicos reunindo pesquisadores de diversas áreas. Cf. https://aspasnacional.wordpress.com/ (acesso em 15 jul. 2016). 3 A lista é longa, mas devem ser mencionados periódicos como Studies in Comics

    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.

  • Jacaber-Kastor 2019.Pdf
    Jacaeber Kastor: Psychedelic Sun By Carlo McCormick In turns perplexing, disorienting, wondrous and utterly beguiling, Jacaeber Kastor’s drawings make you look, look again and then still more, trying to find your way in their miasmic magic until at last, well, you discover the special pleasure of being truly lost. And when you think you’re done, when you’ve decoded the esoteric and abstract, conjured all the forms and meanings from these oceans of latency, answered the call of otherness as if it were the sphinx’s riddle- turn the work or flip your head, around and around, because there is no single perspective to read Kastor’s psychedelic topography: it is an entwined and constantly unfolding omniverse that has no right side up or upside down. If, in the course of your wanderings through Kastor’s meandering poetics of line and space, you come across the unexpected, the oddly familiar or the impossibly alien- for indeed you surely will, quite possible all at once with overwhelming simultaneity- and you ask yourself how did you even come to get here, you might also ask how indeed did this artist arrive at just such a place him- self. Make no mistake about it, Jacaeber Kastor is an intrepid voyager of body and mind, an adventurer without destination or designation, a man without return for even when he has somehow been there before he understands it as different, everything nuanced with the subtle shifts of impercep tible change, actuality always just beyond the tiny grasp of appearance, reason or replication. His art, like the convolutions of a restless mind guiding the inspired hand of uncertainty, is the tracings of a mind- traveler, a map to the nowhere that is everywhere, something so personally idiosyncratic that it marks a shared commons where likeness meets in a zone of compatible dissimilarity.

On September 8, FWMoA will open Litmus Test: Works on Paper from the Psychedelic Era, followed by the opening of All Access: Exploring Humanism in the Art of Chuck Sperry a week later on September 15. The Psychedelic Era was, among many things, a cultural frontier for colors and imagery. Music, politics, and drugs ignited an unprecedented expansion of art revolving around these elements. From Berkeley College to the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, young idealists organized and the art of the era came to fruition. This exhibition will be our bridge to that time, showcasing a psychedelic era works on paper. The poster work and ephemera of Gary Grimshaw and the photography of Leni Sinclair will showcase the art that poured from that time and place. Blotter sheets from Mark Mothersbaugh, H.R. Giger, S. Clay Wilson, Chuck Sperry, and more will represent the creative fuel for many of the artists of the time. Also featured will be the work of the poster artists of the time: Wes Wilson, Victor Moscoso, Stanley Mouse, Rick Griffin, and Alton Kelley.

    “FAR-OUT, UNBATHED LEFTISTS.” THE FABULOUS FURRY FREAK BROTHERS AND MIDDLE AMERICA Claire Bowen Université du Havre Universally known as fearless heroes of the counterculture–or “those idiots” to the rest of us–the Freak Brothers have a timeless appeal and are as relevant now as when they first blah, blah, blah…1 Over forty years after their creation, Gilbert Shelton’s cartoon characters, the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, continue to prosper with the publication of an omnibus edition of the strips and magazine covers, a website and a long-projected stop motion animated film.2 Thirty million copies of the fourteen Freak titles have been sold around the world, translated into almost every language except Chinese, Russian and Arabic. “Those idiots” do indeed appear to possess a “timeless appeal.” Creatures of the hippie sixties, “alternative” in look and in their single-minded pursuit of sex, drugs, beer and every kind of (free) self-gratification, impervious to anything approaching a work ethic, Freewheelin’ Franklin, Phineas, Fat Freddy and their associates are the incarnation of Middle America”s nightmares. 1 Letter from the Office of Fat Freddy’s Cat in Gilbert Shelton, The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers’ Omnibus (California: Rip-Off Press and London: Knockabout Press, 2008) 467. 2 The first Fabulous Furry Freaks Brothers strip was published by Gilbert Shelton in 1968. The comics were published in a number of underground magazines. Shelton founded his own Rip Off Press in 1969 and published the first long (52 pages) Freaks comic book in 1971. Thirteen Rip Off Press Freaks books were published over the next twenty years with a series of separate books featuring Fat Freddy’s Cat launched in 1975.
