The Stitch, the Scratch, the Stain, and the Burn – the mechanically reproduced comics page as a site of embodied encounter with material indexes.

Gareth Brookes

Reproduction technology has always framed the ways in which we encounter and experience comics. Bart Beaty has described European small press as an ongoing attempt to reinscribe the aura of the work of art into the mechanically reproduced object. As such, small press practice can be theorised as a set of continuously adapting inscription strategies responding to new technologies.

International conference – Ghent University, 18-19 September 2023

Comics have often been dismissed as child’s fare. While comics scholars have long struggled with such dismissals, today they are more likely to run up against the stereotype that ‘comics are not just for children’ (Pizzino). The ‘for children’ snub has encouraged scholarship to focus on comics and graphic novels for adults. Although we have seen several exciting studies on the children in comics (Abate; Apostolidès, Chaney; Gordon; Saguisag) and comics for children (Abate and Tarbox, Heimermann and Tullis), most of which have appeared over the past decade, the many complex interactions between comics and children remain understudied.

Building on the research of the COMICS team based at Ghent University since 2018, Comics, the Children and Childishness seeks to disentangle these connections by focusing on two key strands: comics and children’s culture (especially print culture), and childishness and comics. This follows the objectives of the COMICS project at Ghent University which focuses on children’s comics magazines, child characters in comics and graphic novels, young readers’ interactions (both programmed and unexpected) with their comics and children’s drawings.

The conference aims to open a crucial forum of dialogue between European and international researchers, by focusing on a resolutely international corpus, covering comics from not only the dominant areas of Western Europe and North America, but also Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America, hoping to inspire further research in this overlooked but crucial aspect of comic studies. The program page is here, and here you can find some practical information you may need.

The conference will also be accompanied by an exhibition in KASK of the Alain Van Passen comics collection, a rare and extremely well-preserved archive of French and Belgian comics magazines from 1930s through the 1990s.

Bandes dessinées hors-champs / Comics On the Outside

3-4 juin 2021, Université libre de Bruxelles

Dans sa thèse de doctorat La Bande dessinée et son double, Jean-Christophe Menu avance l’idée de « corpus hors-champ de la bande dessinée » pour décrire « tout un corpus d’œuvres relevant […] indéniablement de son domaine mais qu’elle [la bande dessinée] n’intègre pas dans son Histoire, et donc qu’elle ne reconnaît pas comme partie intégrante de son champ » (2011, 432). Ce colloque a pour ambition de se saisir de cette notion de « corpus hors-champ ». Celle-ci est apte à catalyser divers intérêts de recherche et à faire émerger de nouveaux objets d’études jusqu’alors tenus en marge des discours sur la bande dessinée.  Continuer la lecture de Appel à communications / Call for Papers →
