Abstract:

As the guest editors of this special issue of Girlhood Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal we invited comics and media scholars to discuss girlhood from the perspective of transnational and/or transmedia practices. These investigations avoid the trap Anita Harris warned us about in All about the Girl (2004) since they approach girlhood as a “constantly shifting” category, to use the words of Kristine Moruzi (2012: 191) rather than as a natural fixed state of being. Neither do they repeat the earlier tendency to conflate girlhood with womanhood (as can be seen, for instance, in Trina Robbins'

Poetry of the Ugandans are analysed in an article in the context of the use of devices of comic in the East African English-language poetry. The critical-realistic and enlightener tendencies that were eagerly apprehended by most East African authors in the 1960s have not allowed them going beyond the direct criticism of damning poetry to this day as well, although point-by-point attempts to use humour and satire when contemplating socio-political issues, do occur throughout the sixty-year existence of East Africa English-language poetry.

The South African literary and arts magazine Staffrider (1978-1993) is known for its Black Consciousness stance and the contribution it made in the struggle against apartheid. From its inception the magazine contained illustrations, photographs, artwork and graphics alongside prose, poetry, plays, essays and reports, and for nearly a decade illustrations signed by 'Mzwakhe' appeared frequently.

Abstract 44 Purpose Despite overt presentation on the skin, most Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) in Africa is diagnosed too late for treatment to be effective. Training health care workers to recognize KS early can increase knowledge, but is only clinically impactful if providers actually encounter early KS—that is, if patients with early KS present to care. Indeed, recent work from Zimbabwe has shown that facility-based KS training failed to increase early diagnosis, which is unsurprising given the public’s lack of awareness of KS. We hypothesized that educating affected populations about KS is critica

Abstract:

Through an analysis of published graphic novels and comics created by schoolchildren, and building upon Rudine Sims Bishop’s literary metaphors, we discuss how comics serve as compasses and kaleidoscopes that allow readers/composers/educators to center justice in the storying process. We argue that the comics medium provides readers and authors specific affordances (interiority, multiperspectivity, fragmentation, ambiguity, juxtaposition, and focalization) for bending reality and framing stories of the unseen, unheard, and hidden in the margins. We address teachers directly in exploring what’s

Abstract:

This paper investigates digital comics—particularly webcomics and webtoons—as emerging forms of cultural heritage, analyzing their exponential global influence alongside the limitations of traditional heritage frameworks in systematically preserving them. The UNESCO heritage model, rooted in concepts of physical fixity and authenticity, is shown as inadequate for born-digital works like comics, which derive meaning from technological infrastructure, dynamic platforms, and ongoing community interaction rather than static material forms. Drawing on heritage futures and digital materiality theori

Abstract:

Fun Home and Are You My Mother? are two graphic novels by Alison Bechdel, an American author who established her career with the series Dykes to Watch Out For in the 1980s. In these memoir-like novels, the author describes her relationship with her parents, interspersed with literary references. Thus, James Joyce will guide her to the father, while Virginia Woolf is one of the authors that leads her to the mother. Through these authors, she reads her parents, whom she explicitly treats as characters in a (an auto)fiction. In this article, we present some of the effects of these literary interv

Abstract Using the paradigm of Gary Alan Fine’s "folklore diamond," this essay analyzes comedic material of contemporary African American women comics. This comedic material conveys the uniqueness of African American women’s position at the intersections of race, gender, and class dynamics, thereby marking the performers as not only Black, not only female, but as Black women entertainers who are changing the face of Black women’s comedy.

Abstract:

In this article the authors question whether the co-presence of words and pictures specific to the comics medium creates possibilities for the comprehension of regional languages and dialects abroad. They propose to call this phenomenon "visual co-textualization" rather than visual contextualization after the difference which contemporary linguistics makes between the extra-textual environment of a given utterance (context) and its textual or visual surroundings (co-text). They examine in what way the interaction of words and pictures can generate (linguistic) intelligibility and raise the que

Abstract:

Comics (despite its history dating back to the end of 19 century) is still a medium undervalued and underestimated. However, in comics one may discover role models important for the readers, who shape their own understanding of family, aims of family life or proper forms of its realization by accepting, negating or reinterpreting those role models. The aim of comics is the creation (within one piece) of a language understood by as many readers as possible. Popularity of comic books, specificity of its forms of expression and relatively low cost of “production” made possible attempts of the use

Abstract:

This article explores how texts not traditionally considered academic (such as comics) and texts often read in schools (such as canonical novels) have porous boundaries and are often informed by the same literary legacies. Drawing on a qualitative practitioner research study, we illustrate how African American naturalism, á la Richard Wright, finds its way into contemporary graphic novels as well as into the multimodal works produced by youth. Through the work of a fifth-grade student in a comics club, we highlight how graphic narratives may be seen as extensions of preexisting literary tradit

The authors pay special attention to the influence of military realities on the formation of national non-fiction discourse, and mediality is considered as a mediating strategy that depends on such influence.

Abstract:

Digital comics are a ‘bastard’ medium, a hybrid of comics, animated film and video game, which is not subject to a fixed form or format. Authors design and develop their own writing methodology and format, exploiting the narrative and aesthetic opportunities of a digital environment characterised by diversity and constant technical evolution. However, tackling this task without having ever worked with sound, movement or interactivity is arduous. Based on my doctoral research, which analyses a diversified corpus of works and coupled with the development of an artistic project, this article will
