Frame Escapes: Graphic Novel Intertexts
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. The graphic narrative – in merging text with image – showcases an experiential panorama of visceral emotions for the users.

The structure of the graphic novel, city imaging, food fetishes, autog...

The Medieval Worlds of Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman is one of the most widely known writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, having produced fiction and nonfiction, fantasy and horror, television, comics, and prose. He often attributes this eclecticism to his “compost heap” approach to writing, gathering inspiration from life, religion, literature, and mythology. Readers love to sink into Gaiman’s medieval worlds—but what makes them “medieval”? Shiloh Carroll offers an introduction to the idea of medievalism, how the literature and culture of the Middle Ages have been reinterpreted and repurposed over the centuries, and how the layers of interpretation have impacted Gaiman’s own use of medieval material. She examines influences from Norse mythology and Beowulf to medieval romances and fairy tales in order to expand readers’ understanding and appreciation of Gaiman’s work, as well as the rest of the medievalist films, TV shows, and books that are so popular today.

SeitenArchitekturen
Zwischen Comics und Architektur bestehen besondere Affinitäten. So folgt der Aufbau einer Comicseite architektonischen Prinzipien, welche die Rezeption maßgeblich steuern. Gleichzeitig spielt vor allem die urbane Architektur für die Geschichten vieler Comics eine entscheidende Rolle, und die Figuren bewegen sich in Räumen, die sinnstiftend und orientierend sind oder einen labyrinthischen Charakter aufweisen, der im Sinne der Dekonstruktion dezentrierend und damit desorientierend wirkt. Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge untersuchen die Architektur von und in Comics im Schnittpunkt diskursiver und medialer Praktiken. Die Grundlage hierfür bieten Theorien zu Raumkonzeptionen und Ra...
