Beschreibung
The graphic novel is a genre, successful as it is innovative, that claims a place among mainstream and science literature alike. In this volume, text-image relations are central to the discussion: literature, media, art, and gender theoretical approaches provide a perspective on graphic narration and pose questions regarding its specific narrative and aesthetic quality. Narrative process, time-image relationships, body signs, and speech positions in the graphic novel will be discussed using numerous examples (including Bechdel, Merchandise, and Weyhe). The interdisciplinary contributions by Ilse Kilic and Nicolas Mahler, among others, supplement artistic reflections.
