Understanding Genres in Comics de Nicolas Labarre

Understanding Genres in Comics: Palgrave Studies in Comics and Graphic Novels

Autor Nicolas Labarre
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 apr 2021
This book offers a theoretical framework and numerous cases studies – from early comic books to contemporary graphic novels – to understand the uses of genres in comics. It begins with the assumption that genre is both frequently used and undertheorized in the medium. Drawing from existing genre theories, particularly in film studies, the book pays close attention to the cultural, commercial, and technological specificities of comics in order to ground its account of the dynamics of genre in the medium. While chronicling historical developments, including the way public discourses shaped the horror genre in comics in the 1950s and the genre-defining function of crossovers, the book also examines contemporary practices, such as the use of hashtags and their relations to genres in self-published online comics.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“The notion of comic book genres, such as superheroes and funny animals, has been a mainstay of comics scholarship before the field of study saw itself as such. Labarre’s Understanding Genres in Comics shows the limitations of fixed notions of genre and will require scholars of genre and comics to re-examine their approach.”
--Ian Gordon, National University of Singapore
