Art History for Comics
This book looks at comics through the lens of Art History, examining the past influence of art-historical methodologies on comics scholarship to scope how they can be applied to Comics Studies in the present and future. It unearths how early comics scholars deployed art-historical approaches, including stylistic analysis, iconography, Cultural History and the social history of art, and proposes how such methodologies, updated in light of disciplinary developments within Art History, could be usefully adopted in the study of comics today. Through a series of indicative case studies of British and American comics like Eagle, The Mighty Thor, 2000AD, Escape and Heartbreak Hotel, it argues that art-historical methods better address overlooked aspects of visual and material form. Bringing Art History back into the interdisciplinary nexus of comics scholarship raises some fundamental questions about the categories, frameworks and values underlying contemporary Comics Studies.

This manual focuses on teaching Italian as a foreign language in the academic field, taking into consideration the various subjects and disciplines that can be found in a university course in Italian Studies.

Zurück zum Realen
Der gegenwärtige Buchmarkt Italiens ist mit einem einzigen Diskurs, nämlich dem postmodernistischen, nicht mehr zu erfassen. Erneut manifestieren sich Tendenzen realistischer Literatur, das heißt ›ernster‹ Literatur mit dem Anspruch, eine aktuelle extratextuelle Welt im Rückgriff auf tatsächliche Geschehnisse oder in einer wahrscheinlichen Ausformung möglicher Begebenheiten zur Darstellung zu bringen und Kritik zu üben. Realistische Literatur bleibt jedoch Literatur und damit Kunst, die metaphorisch, symbolistisch oder selbstbezüglich sein darf, um Darstellungsweisen zu optimieren, einen Erkenntnisfortschritt zu erzielen oder poetologische Grundlagen zu formulieren. Die verschied...
