Drawing Lives, Writing Worlds: A Graphic Narratives Symposium
Beginn
14.04.2017
Ende
15.04.2017
This event explores the possibilities of graphic narratives for scholarship, teaching, and creative production, focusing on the intersection of comics and life writing, historiography and imagination, real and fantasy worlds in various text-image combinations. A specific focus will be placed on the temporal-spatial dimensions of the genre/medium and the dynamics that emerge from pairing multiple modalities of representation. In addition to presentations, lightning talks, and poster sessions, the symposium features live drawing and discussions with two of Germany’s outstanding artist-authors. This symposium builds on the growing presence of comics studies at Michigan State University as evidenced by the annual MSU Comics Forum and supported by the MSU Libraries, whose Special Collections division houses the largest international comic book collection in the world.
