By drawing attention to his</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">tory’s curation via the archival documents required to establish historical writing’s “authenticity,” graphic historiography demonstrates how history itself is also a construction.</span></div>

<span style="background: white;">Using material from her forthcoming book on EC
Comics: Race, Shock, and Social Protest, Qiana Whitted will discuss the 1950s
comic book publisher's attempt to establish clear boundaries between
“entertaining” and “educational” reading practices that were mindful of the
public’s anxieties over how comic books could influence young readers.
Essential to this effort was an editorial emphasis on how narrative captions,
dialogue, and other words acted as signposts of meaning. If comics were indeed
as hazardous as critics such as Sterling North, Dr. Frederic Wertham, and
Senator Estes Kefauver feared, the social-protest comics might prove that EC’s
writers could contain those dangers and redirect the medium’s unstable visual
forces at will. Ultimately, the creative aims, execution, and impact of these
stories functioned not only as an extension of the EC tradition but also as an
example of the comic-book industry’s early attempts to use the medium and its
generic conventions to combat racism and other social ills.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Qiana Whitted is Professor of English and
African American Studies at the University of South Carolina. Her current
research examines representations of race, history, and genre in comic books
and graphic novels. She is editor of Inks: The Journal of the Comics Studies
Society and chair of the International Comic Arts Forum. Her forthcoming book,
EC Comics: Race, Shock, and Social Protest, will be published by Rutgers
University Press in March 2019.</span></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

A Methodological Approach to Teaching Italian Comics<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Dear friends and colleagues,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
After the amazing discussion we had yesterday on the magazine Resist!, get ready for our last event of the Fall Term. The Transnational Comics Studies Workshop invites you to a lecture and workshop with Simone Castaldi, Associate Professor of Romance Languages and Literature at Hofstra University.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>A Walk Within Four Panels. A Methodological Approach to Teaching Italian Comics</b><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"><br />Lecture: <b>Thursday, November 30th, 3-5pm</b><br />Workshop: <b>Friday, December 1st, 10-12pm</b><br /><b>3308 Modern Language Building</b></span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
This talk, covering the first 100 years of the history of Italian comics, focuses on four individual panels from four pivotal moments in the history of the medium in Italy: its infancy at the turn of the 20th century; the post-economic boom reconfiguration of the medium for an adult audience with the so-called "fumetti neri" (crime comics); the late-1960s birth of the auteur school and of a more literate and sophisticated readership; and the cannibalization of the historical avant-gardes of the postmodern, self-referential comics of the 1980s. Taking a moment of hesitation to focus on the reading instructions offered by a single panel, this kind of investigation encourages a deeper reading of the intimate structures that make up the panel as a basic unit of the comics' discourse. As a first step in the study of comics in a classroom setting, especially when students are confronted with a tradition whose history and culture is scarcely familiar to them, this kind of analysis consents to relate the study of the pictorial and micro-narrative elements within the frame to the cultural encyclopedia of the text, and to insert it within its historical background as a living part of a wider cultural context. As we investigate the panel's composition, the quality of the line, the indexical and symbolic value of its parts and their paradigmatic relations we lay solid foundations and prepare ourselves for a full reading.</div>

How Creator Ownership Makes Space For Othered Bodies<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Dear friends and colleagues,</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Thursday, Oct. 26th, at 1-2:30pm in the Shapiro Design Lab we will workshop Hanah Stiverson's paper <b><i>Radical World-Making: How Creator Ownership Makes Space For Othered Bodies</i></b>.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Hanah Stiverson is a PhD student at the University of Michigan in the department of American Culture who conducts fantastic research on comic studies, visual cultures, and race and gender studies. Her paper examines three ongoing works by Image Comics, which are either written or illustrated by female creators, and which reimagine notions of gender and race in fantasy realms. Working with Saga, co-created by Fiona Staples, Bitch Planet, created by Kelly Sue DeConnick, and Monstress, created by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda, Hanah considers ways in which world-making in comics allows for new meanings in racialized and gendered bodies.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">In order to facilitate the discussion, we ask attenders to read the first issues of the above mentioned series. Our library holds multiple volumes of each series.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Please, RSVP to join our Google Group and get access to the workshop materials.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">As teachers find a variety of uses for comics, graphic</span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">novels and manga in the classroom, they need to understand the complex thinking and deep skills required to both read and create them. In this workshop, work with cartoonist Jerzy Drozd to explore the convergence of literary and artistic disciplines inherent in comics and see how comics can be a powerful way to build reading comprehension skills, such as prediction, inference, and fluency.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Copies of Drodz 64-page teaching kit will be distributed at the event. </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">It contains example lesson plans for participants who want to take what they learned in the workshop into their own classrooms.</span></div>

Leading graphic historical novelist Joe Sacco will chronicle how and why he uses the graphic novel format to catalyze social justice and human rights struggles in the U.S. and around the world. His award-winning novels include Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt (a portrait of some of the most marginalized communities in the United States, co-created with Pulitzer Prize-winner Chris Hedges); Footnotes in Gaza (a narrative of oral histories collected from elderly Palestinians who witnessed and survived a mass murder during the 1956 Suez War); and Safe Area Gorazde (an account of the brutal effects of the war in the former Yugoslavia on a besieged town that Sacco visited during and after the war). This presentation is part of a series on social justice-oriented graphic novels organized by the International Institute’s Enterprise-funded Conflict and Peace Initiative. The event is in partnership with the Penny Stamps Distinguished Lecture Series. <br /><br />The Conflict and Peace Initiative was launched in the fall of 2016 and is funded by the International Institute Enterprise Fund. Its focus is to build a cross-disciplinary approach to peace and conflict studies that engages, challenges, and inspires new audiences.</div>

As studies of disability have long pointed out, to be figured as disabled is in key ways to be seen, and to always be the subject of others’ curiosity. Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, influentially, has argued that in disability’s “economy of visual difference, those bodies deemed inferior become spectacles of otherness while the unmarked are sheltered in the neutral space of normalcy.” In the form of comics, this particular relationship with visual embodiment is placed front and center for the reader to engage with, through drawn imagery on the page. For autobiographical comics, especially, this relationship raises questions about how authors might employ various visual codes in order to elude the objectifying gaze commonly associated with looking at disability. Using as its case study Al Davison’s memoir about living with spina bifida The Spiral Cage, this talk examines the relationship between disability, representation, visuality, and autobiography in comics.<br />
<br />
<b>Bio:</b> Frederik Byrn Køhlert is a Lecturer at the University of East Anglia. His research concerns issues of representation in literary and visual culture, with a special emphasis on comics and graphic novels. He is the author of several articles about trauma, gender, and representation in autobiographical comics, as well as a monograph on literary representations of Chicago. His most recent research focuses on political comics and cartoons, and he is currently working on projects concerning the intersection of comics and anarchism and the international reception of Charlie Hebdo in the wake of the shootings at the newspaper’s editorial office. His book Serial Selves: Identity and Representation in Autobiographical Comics is forthcoming from Rutgers University Press. <br />

Jews and American Comics, with a Strong Personal note," Paul Buhle's presentation reaches from giants of the funny pages a century ago, Rube Goldberg and Harry Hershfield (not forgetting the Yiddish comic strips of Samuel Zagat and Zuni Maud) to the Jewish-American comic art of today, Art Spiegelman, Peter Kuper, Lauren Weinstein and Joey Perr, and the on line "Bernie Sanders Comics" organized by the speaker. What are the key points of art and narrative, how have they evolved and what is their meaning within the larger world of comic art? Secrets will be (nearly) revealed.<br />

The 1976 Project: A Year in Comic Book Publishing</div>
<div>
<br />
In this presentation, I will describe, in general terms, my current large project – an examination of comic book publishing in 1976. Such an examination exists at the confluence of a number of disciplines. First, the focus on a single year draws on methodologies from book history, notably Sydney Shep’s model of model of production, distribution and consumption that focuses on “the complex dynamic intercrossings between people (prosopography), places (placeography) and objects (bibliography).” The rhetorical nature of Shep’s ideas, combined with the necessity of situating comic book publishers as sponsors of multimodal literacy within such a model, means that this project draws on methodologies and ways of thinking from a variety of fields, including Comics Studies, Rhetoric and Composition, Literacy Studies, and Book History.<br />
<br />
By focusing on a single year, I endeavor to show how and why it is important to examine the history of comics and the literacies surrounding that history in ways that go beyond the creation of a canon of great works in comics, and why using a diverse set of methodologies is crucial in such an examination. This presentation will give a glimpse into some of the research and thinking I have done to this point, both in terms of specifics from 1976 and the larger methodological and interdisciplinary implications outlined above.</div>
