A fascinating feminist reading of an often scorned medium: the storytelling, cross-platform success, and female fandom of the photoromance.Born in Italy and successfully exported to the rest of the world, photoromances had a readership of millions in the postwar years. By the early 1960s, more than ten million Italians read a photoromance each week. Despite its popularity, the photoromance—a form of graphic storytelling that uses photographs instead of drawings—was widely scorned as a medium, and its largely female audience derided as naive, pathetic, and uneducated. In this provocative book, Paola Bonifazio offers another perspective, making a case for the relevance of the photoromance for both feminism and media culture. She argues that the photoromance pioneered storytelling across platforms, elevated characters and artists into brands, and nurtured a devoted fan base. Moreover, Bonifazio shows that female readers—condescended to by intellectuals, journalists, and politicians of both the left and the right—powered the Italian photoromance industry's success.Bonifazio examines the “convergence culture” of Italian media as photoromance magazines dispersed their content across multiple formats, narrative conventions, editorial and business strategies, and platforms. The plots of photoromances often resembled the storylines of romantic films, and film stars themselves often appeared in photoromances. Bonifazio discusses the media habits of photoromance readers; the use of photoromances to promote political, religious, and social agendas, including a campaign for “birth control in comics”; and long-term fandom. While publishers built lifelong relationships with their readers, the readers built a common identity and culture.

De tous les genres littéraires, le roman-photo est à la fois le plus méprisé et le moins connu. Pour le roman-photo a l'ambition de révéler toute la richesse de ce genre hybride, dont l'importance est capitale à une époque où se rapprochent littérature et photographie. Abordant aussi bien les stéréotypes du roman-photo sentimental que les inventions du roman-photo moderne, notamment sur Internet, le livre nous donne d'abord un aperçu très richement illustré de l'histoire du genre, que l'auteur compare à ses faux frères, la bande dessinée et le ciné-roman. Il examine aussi la manière dont texte et image peuvent s'allier pour inventer des récits entièrement inédits. Il propose enfin des analyses des grands auteurs du "nouveau roman-photo" (Marie-Françoise Plissart, Michael Snow, Sophie Calle ou Suky Best). Prenant le contrepied de tout ce qu'on écrit depuis cinquante ans, cet essai nous invite à lire, d'urgence, des romans-photos. Paru une première fois en 2010 aux Impressions Nouvelles, nous vous en proposons, à l'occasion de la grande exposition "Roman-Photo" présentée au Mucem (cf. description sur le site du musée : www.mucem.org), une réédition augmentée et richement illustrée.
