Contexts of Violence in Comics de Ian Hague

Contexts of Violence in Comics: Routledge Advances in Comics Studies

Editat de Ian Hague, Ian Horton, Nina Mickwitz
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 2021
This book is part of a nuanced two-volume examination of the ways in which violence in comics is presented in different texts, genres, cultures and contexts.




Contexts of Violence in Comics asks the reader to consider the ways in which violence and its representations may be enabled or restricted by the contexts in which they take place. It analyzes how structures and organising principles, be they cultural, historical, legal, political or spatial, might encourage, demand or prevent violence. It deals with the issue of scale: violence in the context of war versus violence in the context of an individual murder, and provides insights into the context of war and peace, ethnic and identity-based violence, as well as examining issues of justice and memory.




This will be a key text and essential reference for scholars and students at all levels in Comics Studies, and Cultural and Media Studies more generally.

Notă biografică

Ian Hague is the third year Contextual and Theoretical Studies Coordinator in the Design School at London College of Communication, UAL. His research takes a materially oriented approach to comics and graphic novels, with a particular focus on the ways in which comics’ material forms affect the experiences of their readers. His first monograph,Comics and the Senses:　A　Multisensory Approach to Comics and Graphic Novels, was published by　Routledge　in 2014, and he is the author of numerous articles and book chapters on subjects such as materiality, adaptation and media forms. Ian co-editedRepresenting Multiculturalism in Comics and Graphic Novels(Routledge　2015), and　was the founder of　the　Comics Forum　conference series, which has run since 2009　(online since 2011).　He　is　also　a peer reviewer for various publishers and journals. Ian’s current research looks at digital comics as they relate to materiality, economics, histories and geographies.　He is a founder member of the Comics Research Hub (CoRH) at the University of the Arts London.




Ian Horton is Reader in Graphic Communication at London College of Communication, University of the Arts London. His present research is focused in three related areas: comic books, graphic design and illustration.　His　bookHard Werken: One for All (Graphic Art & Design 1979-1994)(co-authored with Bettina　Furnee)is the first academic study of this influential avant-garde Dutch graphic design studio and was published by　Valiz　in 2018.　Within the field of Comics Studies he has published work on: national identity in European and British comic books; the relationship between art history and comics; public relations and comic books.　In 2014, along with Lydia　Wysocki　(founder of Applied Comics Etc) and John　Swogger (archeological　illustrator and comic book artist), he founded the Applied Comics Network. He is　a founder member of　the Comics Research Hub　(CoRH)　at the University of the Arts London and is associate editor of theJournal of Graphic Novels and Comics.




Nina　Mickwitz　is one of the founder members of the Comics Research Hub　(CoRH)　at University of the Arts London and the author ofDocumentary Comics: Graphic Truth-telling in a　Skeptical　Time(Palgrave Macmillan 2015). Situated in the intersection of comics and　mobilities, current research includes comics that deal with refugee narratives, migration and displacement. Another area of interest concerns the local/global dynamic of contemporary　comics　cultures, and the interactions and transactional networks between smaller, ‘peripheral’ cultures of production.


Recenzii

'This book brings new and wide-ranging perspectives from outstanding scholars to an area of comics that critical discourse has tended to shy away from: violence, whether flamboyantly exaggerated, or painfully recovered and made visible.' -Ann Miller, University Fellow, University of Leicester, UK

This book considers the ways in which violence and its representations may be enabled or restricted by the contexts in which they take place. It provides insights into violence in comics in the context of war and peace; ethnic, religious and identity-based violence; as well as legal and historical contexts of violence.
