Comics and the Global South (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Comics, graphic novels and webtoons are exploding in popularity across the world, with extraordinary artistic achievements emerging from the Global South and Majority World(s). Because most of the critical and methodological tools in English-language comics scholarship come from the Global North, such approaches are often imperfectly designed to illuminate Global South/Global Majority specificities, innovations, and resultant achievements. Comics and the Global South brings together original comics scholarship that offers methodologies crafted within the histories, artistic traditions, and social and political realities of the comics and visual cultures in and from the Global South. With new ideas about how to read panels, lines, colour, and meaning, the contributions make a major breakthrough in our ability to understand comics of the Global South on their own terms.
