Abstract:

After nearly one hundred years of interpretation, comic strips can be chronologically sorted into emergent, prosperity, change and bottleneck. Through research, this paper discusses the comprehensive impact of social and economic factors on each of these periods and deduces and summarizes the characteristics of differentiated narratives. In the new period, Chinese comic strips gradually receded due to market factors, while original Chinese picture books grew. Although there is a difference in the visual presentation form between the two, they have partly inherited the characteristics of the comic strips in the 80's and 90's. The thesis conducts a comparative study on the differences and similarities between the two and discusses their creative value and contemporary significance.

Abstract:

The scientific topicality of the work lies in the study of the history of musical art of Bukovyna and identification of the role of individual personalities in the formation of the region’s musicological opinion. Among the figures of culture, art and education of Bukovyna, an important role was played by Anton Norst, whose cultural works have been known since the time of Austria-Hungary and have gained relevance and new recognition in our time. He became one of the first and most famous researchers of the culture and art of Bukovyna. Therefore, a need arose for scientific evaluation of his research and an outline of the significance of his activities in the process of formation and development of musicology in Bukovyna. The purpose of the article is to determine the role of Anton Norst in the study of musical culture of Bukovyna and the description of his work “The Society for the Promotion of Musical Art in Bukovyna. 1862–1902”. The methodology. While preparing the article, several research methods were used, in particular, biographical, historical, cultural and deductive, which made it possible to reveal new facts of Anton Norst’s life and determine his role in the development of musicology in Bukovyna. The results. One can learn about the development of Bukovynian culture, its musical life and the role of individual personalities in the process of the region’s cultural upliftment from the works of scientists, musicians and public figures of that time. Among the works of the Austro-Hungarian period, Anton Norst’s German-language work “The Society for the Promotion of Musical Art in Bukovyna. 1862–1902” stands out. A. Norst is an active participant and co-founder of numerous societies, chairman and honorary member of the Union of Journalists and Writers of Bukovyna. He is the author of numerous publications, poems, short stories, comic strips and reviews. Anton Norst’s edition is timed to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of creation of the organization that contributed to the development of musical art and education in the region. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time the role of Anton Norst in the development of musicology in Bukovyna was determined and an assessment of his work dedicated to musical and cultural processes in Chernivtsi during the Austro-Hungarian rule was given. Conclusions. The first cultural studies that appeared in Bukovyna are of significant value for modern musicology. Anton Norst’s book “The Society for the Promotion of Musical Art in Bukovyna. 1862–1902” was such a work. It became an important source of information about the development of musical culture of the region in the XIX — early XX centuries and a model of historical musicology of that time.

Abstract:

Comics Through Time: A History of Icons, Idols, and Ideas is an ambitious, four-volume title that "seeks to capture some of the richness" of comics history and "provide information on this history for a wide range of users, from casual fans of comics to professional scholars of the form" (xxiii). Each of the four volumes covers a specific time period, beginning in the 1900s with comic strips and continuing to the present. Just as the volumes cover a broad expanse of time, they also deal with a diverse array of subjects, including comic strips, comic books, comics creators both well-known and obscure (often accompanied by large photographs), comics publishers, and genres such as science fiction and horror.

Abstract:

This article investigates serialization in newspaper comic strips (exemplified by Danish Nikoline Werdelin’s strip Homo Metropolis) with a dual focus on publication structure and composition of individual strips. Reading the forms of Rhythm and Network as symptoms of serialization, the analysis seeks to outline the difference between meeting the comic strip in daily newspapers or in collected books. Furthermore, it investigates how the actual punchlines takes form through constant fluctuation between repetition and interruption. In this way, the article reads Homo Metropolis as an example of how serialized storytelling constantly negotiates the tension between the individual story/punchline and larger network of narratives.

Abstract:

Abstract It is not uncommon to read the Moomin tales through existentialist lenses. Although there might be natural reasons for focusing on and privileging the nine classical Moomin books, it would, however, be a mistake to overlook Jansson’s comic strips. This is so, not only because of the quality of Jansson’s drawings and because of the way she innovatively worked with and developed that graphic medium, but certainly also because of the stories they contain. When read alongside the books, the comic strips add important aspects and nuances to Jansson’s portrayal of human existence. By allowing herself the freedom to radically change the setting and scenery of the stories, Jansson was able to explore quite different topics than was possible in the novels, and in particular to offer a somewhat different account of the role of customs, normality and tradition.

Abstract:

Until recently comic strips were predominantly categorized as either juvenile distraction or some odd adult enthusiasts' hobby. The genre experienced a minor revolution in the 1990s when on the one hand the mass visual media began to explore its rich potential whereas on the other hand the medium's ability to offer "tremendous resources to all writers and artists" (McCloud 212) came under scrntiny, prompting authors like Art Spiegelman to wage an experiment. His biographical Holocaust graphic novel MAUS l and II (1986, 1991) became a bestseller and Pulitzer Prize winner. The paper looks into its 2003 Slovenian edition from the point of view of the undividable entity of drawing and lettering within a panel. It also touches upon certain translation solutions - how closely they correspond to the source text in terms of syntax and transfer of information - but it is not a detailed contrastive analysis as such.

Abstract:

Onomatopoeia are the representation or imitation in language of sounds from the natural world. They occur in the phonic modality of speech, the written modality, and a third modality combining word and image. The latter is a common device in the sequential art of comic strips and comic books, and is particular to the American tradition of comics. Onomatopoeia diversify the experience of sequential art and have unique signifying properties. Though there have been significant attempts to provide a structural analysis of the comics medium, these have often ignored onomatopoeia’s uses in the comics medium. This study utilizes the concept of an American Visual Language (Cohn, 2013) within a Peircean framework to offer theories of the individual (onomatopeme) and structural uses of word/image onomatopoeic expressions in mainstream American comic books.

Abstract:

Chinese comic books appear to be filled with bright colors and interesting characters, but they also offer insight into the daily life relations and societal principles of modern China. In this study, we examined the construction and underlying meanings of money metaphors in Zhu Deyong’s comic book series We Are All Patients, and We Are All Patients 2: Love with an Idiot, using the conceptual metaphor theory (CMT). By mapping abstract concepts into more concrete and familiar domains, CMT conveys complex ideas, emotions, and social commentary in a way that readers can easily understand. We analyzed thirty-nine randomly chosen comic strips from Zhu’s comic books using Charteris-Black’s (2004) inductive method, conceptual metaphor analysis (CMA), to identify, explain, and interpret different metaphors. Through our analysis, we highlighted the most prominent money metaphors and how they relate to the current love and friendship relations made by modern Chinese people in their everyday lives. We found that money metaphors are classified into seven source domains: barrier, drug, tool, almighty, exchange, principle, and ambition.

Abstract:

Golden Age cartoonist Jackie Ormes created dramatic narratives in her comic strip Torchy in Heartbeats (Pittsburgh Courier, 1950–54) that were unique, in that they were created by a Black woman cartoonist for Black women readers. Ormes skillfully manipulated the typical strip's narrative structure to creatively depict a single Black woman freely traveling the world in the era of Jim Crow. This essay examines two specific Torchy in Heartbeats strips from 1951–52 to reveal how Ormes worked within the then-dominant framework of respectability politics—not to challenge it, but to present a Black woman navigating racialized gender discrimination and pursuing her desires despite her “respectable status,” with sometimes terrifying results. In the process, it works to redress the paucity of scholarship on Black women's contributions to comic books and strips.

Abstract:

The desire for heroes is a global and cultural phenomenon that gives a view into society’s very heart. There is no better example of this truism than that of the superhero. Typically, Superheroes, with their affiliation to values and morality, and the notion of the grand narratives, should not fit well into postmodernist theory. However, at the very core of the superhero narrative is the ideal of an individual creating his/her own form of morality, and thus dispensing justice as the individual sees fit in resistance to metanarrative’s authoritarian and restrictive paradigms. This research will explore Superhero comic books, films, videogames and the characters Superman, Spider-Man and Batman through the postmodernist conceptions of power, plurality, and morality.

Abstract:

Cartoons and comic strips have contributed an inordinate number of neologisms to the English lexicon. Many terms we commonly use made their debut in cartoons and comic strips such as Li’l Abner (double whammy), The Timid Soul (milquetoast), and Popeye (goon). The contributions to the vernacular from these sources are due in part to the fact that so many have had longer runs (more than four decades for Li’l Abner alone) than their counterparts in electronic media. In addition, space constraints keep cartoonists from using big words. Active, vivid language is their stock in trade. That terseness, simplicity, and zaniness has appealed to cartoon fans of all ages. During the past century especially, words in comic strips, cartoons, and comic books were among the first ones children read in adult media, and at an impressionable age. Those they assimilated over time became a common part of our discourse.

It was the first known touring exhibit to show comics in art historical context with ancestors like Japanese scrolls, Mayan Panels, and cave paintings alongside contemporary comic strips and comic books. This may have been the first exhibit to include a wide selection of comic books including More Fun, Superman, and Wonder Woman #1.

Abstract:

In Christopher Frayling's book Spaghetti Westerns (1981), he highlights how the character of the Spaghetti Western has since become subsumed into later Western comic books, evidenced through the Lee Van Cleef-like bounty hunter featured in Morris and Goscinny's bande dessinée (French comic) Lucky Luke: The Bounty Hunter (1972). Drawing upon this relationship, this chapter will take a similar approach to Frayling, who mediates between comic book influences upon the Spaghetti Western and the later reciprocal impact of these Westerns upon the comic book. It begins by demystifying some of the tacit references to the comic-like qualities of the Italian Westerns. This provides context for the exploration of the impact of these films upon the Western comic book, primarily achieved through a case study of the bande dessinée series, Blueberry (1963–2005), by Jean-Michel Charlier and Jean Giraud. In a collection that looks to map the relocation and appropriation of the Spaghetti Western, the chapter reinterprets these Italian productions through the comic book.

Abstract:

Chapter 2 discusses the high sales of comic books in the 1940s and early 1950s, a boom that started with superhero comics and would go on to include crime and romance comics. In the mid-1950s, publishers responded to the pressure exerted by the anti-comics movement and established a regulatory body to censor America’s comic books (crime and horror comics were especially vilified). Comic book sales in the second half of the 1950s went into decline, though industry self-censorship was not the sole reason: market saturation and competition from other media were also factors. But before this, in 1950, St John Publications and Fawcett Publications released a small number of crime comics as paperback books. Elsewhere in the comics world, newspaper strips might be reprinted in narrative chunks in book form, such as Walt Kelly’s strip featuring the character Pogo the Possum: Kelly’s satire of the 1952 presidential election was captured in the book I Go Pogo. Most book-length comics of the period came from artists who otherwise produced work for advertising agencies, animation studios, magazines, and publishing houses. These books were usually released by New York-based trade presses and attacked the glamorisation of war.

Abstract:

Lexigraphic and Melomanic are concepts proposed to fine tune our understanding of American studio animation’s transition to sound. In the 1910s and 1920s, animators and audiences were accustomed to following cartoon stories as a kind of reading, assisted by icons and words-in-the-image stylistics adapted from comic strips and comic books. These symbols and picture-words anticipated emoji, delivering an idea, concept, or emotion in pictorial form. Many animators employed these image-texts and picture icons imaginatively and reflexively. Led by the competitive example of the Walt Disney studio when it converted to sound, the established lexigraphic mode of production and reception gave way quickly to melomania – an obsessive preoccupation with syncing screen action to a pre-recorded soundtrack.

Abstract:

Adventure stories for a juvenile audience were a major vector for the inculcation of preferred images of the French empire. Thrilling colonial narratives were informed by ideologies that ranged from the nuanced Anglophilia of Jules Verne in the 1860s to the deep-rooted Anglophobia of Emile Driant (‘le captaine Danrit’) on the eve of the First World War. During the 1914-1918 hostilities, childhood favourites such as Bécassine were mobilized in defence of France, together with its overseas territories. With the rise of comic strips and comic books in the 1920s, Hergé’s now celebrated Tintin emerged as a particularly powerful advocate for the colonial cause. This literary inheritance would continue to be appealed to after the Second World War, until successive French defeats in Indo-China and Algeria finally allowed writing for younger audiences to engage critically with colonial memories and post-colonial identities

Abstract:

In the realm of comic books, laughter onomatopoeia (LO) plays a crucial role in character portrayal. The sound symbolism of LO can be used to assign distinct character roles and to suggest similarities in terms of appearance and personality traits. For instance, Kinsui (2014) posited that ‘hoho’ is typically associated with a young woman from a well-respected family. However, scholarship on the relationship between variable LO and character types is limited in the current literature, emphasizing the need for further study. This thesis addresses this research gap by examining the association between phonological features and character types. Using the Japanese comic series ‘One Piece’ as a case study, the research collected laughter phrases and utilized a laughter notation system to assign character roles. The results suggest that characters employing LO with common phonological elements possess analogous external and personality characteristics, demonstrating the impact of sound symbolism on character attributes, with voiced sounds, p sounds, and palatalization sounds having distinctive correlations with specific character traits.
