Abstract

By placing comics in a lively dialogue with contemporary narrative theory, The narratology of comic art builds a systematic theory of narrative comics, going beyond the typical focus on the Anglophone tradition. This involves not just the exploration of those properties in comics that can be meaningfully investigated with existing narrative theory, but an interpretive study of the potential in narratological concepts and analytical procedures that has hitherto been overlooked. This research monograph is, then, not an application of narratology in the medium and art of comics, but a revision of narratological concepts and approaches through the study of narrative comics. Thus, while narratology is brought to bear on comics, equally comics are brought to bear on narratology.

Abstract

What the Living Carry unveils a small town named Hoy's Fork, situated in the American South. Drawing on memories of the rural setting in which he grew up, Virginian photographer Morgan Ashcom brings together photographs, type-written letters and a hand-drawn map to build a fictional narrative of a foreboding place. Leading us on a trail through the town and its surrounding forest, Ashcom presents scenes that point to a mysterious history, and people whose familial connections remain unknown: a forlorn old man, with champagne to hand, reclines on the corroding steps of a once grand home; a bloodied mattress is carried through an overgrown field; a solitary child burrows into a meadow, while on the streets, a man dutifully cleans a white picket fence -- a vision that belies a local mural of a distant, ancient land. Interspersing this fragmented narrative is a set of texts -- four letters responding to 'Morgan's' request for DNA analysis -- written by 'Eugene' of the 'Center for Epigenetics and Wellness of the Spirit'. If What the Living Carry provides a set of clues to unravel the enigma behind this strange world, it is through a visual record that is simultaneously autobiographical and imagined, and inclined to elude.

Abstract

This book offers an original new conception of visual story telling, proposing that drawing, depictive drawing and narrative drawing are produced in an encompassing dialogic system of embodied social behavior. It refigures the existing descriptions of visual story-telling that pause with theorizations of perception and the articulation of form. The book identifies and examines key issues in the field, including: the relationships between vision, visualization and imagination; the theoretical remediation of linguistic and narratological concepts; the systematization of discourse; the production of the subject; idea and institution; and the significance of resources of the body in depiction, representation and narrative. It then tests this new conception in practice: two original visual demonstrations clarify the particular dialectic relationships between subjects and media, in an examination of drawing style and genre, social consensus and self-conscious constraint. The book's originality derives from its clear articulation of a wide range of sources in proposing a conception of narrative drawing, and the extrapolation of this new conception in two new visual demonstrations.

Abstract

Au cours des années 1960, une nouvelle figuration apparaît aux Etats-Unis et en Europe. Tandis qu'à New York, le pop art offre un regard neuf sur une Amérique en plein bouleversement, à Paris, des peintres venus de toute l'Europe prennent, eux aussi, appui sur les images issues de la publicité, du cinéma et de la presse. Regroupés dans le mouvement de la figuration narrative, ils se font les critiques sans complaisance de cette nouvelle société marquée par le règne de la consommation.Témoins engagés, plusieurs d'entre eux participeront d'ailleurs à la contestation politique qui aboutit aux événements de Mai 68 en France. Aujourd'hui, la collection de la Fondation Gandur pour l'Art offre l'un des panoramas les plus complets sur ces artistes. Ce catalogue, dirigé par Jean-Paul Ameline, commissaire de l'exposition " Figuration narrative, Paris, 1960-1972" en 2008 au Grand Palais, en présente les oeuvres essentielles, étudiées et analysées par des notices rédigées par des conservateurs et des historiens d'art spécialistes de ce mouvement.
