Sequential Art: Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Graphic Novel
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. No matter whether you call it picture book, manga, strip, graphic novel, or simply comic, it is undeniable that over the past thirty years, the image of sequential art in all its varieties has changed from a cheap form of entertainment for youngsters to a medium as cherished as novels and films. This timely publication aims to engage critically with issues in and around the production and perception of all types of graphic narratives. Mirroring the hybridity and complexity of graphic novels themselves, this essay collection brings together the works of scholars from various fields ranging from literature and culture to history, from social science to art. From manifold perspectives, it elaborates on topics like the perception and production of comics in and by different cultures, intertextuality and narrative techniques, the construction of identities within and by graphic narratives as well as the interpretation and depiction of historical landmarks by comic book artists.
Comics as a Nexus of Cultures
These essays from various critical disciplines examine how comic books and graphic narratives move between various media, while merging youth and adult cultures and popular and high art. The articles feature international perspectives on comics and graphic novels published in the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, Portugal, Germany, Turkey, India, and Japan. Topics range from film adaptation, to journalism in comics, to the current manga boom.
Cinema and Politics
This volume presents varied approaches concerning the relation between cinema and politics which focus on policies, eras, countries, mainstream and art cinema productions, transnational examples, changing narratives and identities. Both cinema and politics have actors and directors for their scenes, and in this sense their discourses intermingle. The performances of the “actors/actresses” in both arenas attract particular attention. The actors, directors, and producers with ‘hyphenated/creolised/hybrid identities’ such as German-Turks, directors of Balkan cinema, or Italian filmmakers of Turkish origin give a wide and refreshing perspective to the discussion of Europe in the media. What these ‘mediated identities’ represent goes beyond the limits of the old Europe, towards the different sensitivity of the New Europe. Scholars and advanced students of Film Studies, European Studies, Identity Politics, Migration / Emigration and Gender Studies will find this volume of integral importance to their work.
Communication in Peace, Conflict in Communication
Peace and Conflict are commonly understood as polar opposites. In a polarised opposition there is no place for conflict in peace, and peace, the privileged term of the binary opposition, needs to be pure and homogeneous, cleansed of any unlicensed differences and contradictions. Yet, a radically plural and demo-cratic politic must harbour conflicting and antagonistic views of things; opposition is internal to it; and its view of freedom says that "freedom is always the freedom of those who think differently". In contrast, the ideal of a homogeneous, self--same, indivisibly unified society is totalitarian and repressive of the very differenc-es that make a society, any society, possible. The ...
Historical Dictionary of Middle Eastern Cinema
To a substantial degree cinema has served to define the perceived character of the peoples and nations of the Middle East. This book covers the production and exhibition of the cinema of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabi, Yemen, Kuwait, and Bahrain, as well as the non-Arab states of Turkey and Iran, and the Jewish state of Israel. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Middle Eastern Cinema contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on individual films, filmmakers, actors, significant historical figures, events, and concepts, and the countries themselves. It also covers the range of cinematic modes from documentary to fiction, representational to animation, generic to experimental, mainstream to avant-garde, and entertainment to propaganda. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Middle Eastern cinema.

Türkiye'de Çizgi Roman
Çizgi romanın sanatsal varlığı artık yüz yılı aşmış bir tarihe sahip. Çoğu Batı ülkesinde çizgi romanın sanat olarak kendine özgülüğü tartışılmıyor bile, ama ülkemizde bu sanat kolu ucuz, okunup atılan, “yoz” ürünlerin kaynağı, az okumanın göstergelerinden biri sayılıyor. Okullarda, evlerde çizgi roman okuyanların kulaklarının çekildiği, çizgi romanların yasak sayıldığı ve açıkça ayıplandığı bir çocukluğu hemen hepimiz az ya da çok yaşadık. Oysa çizgi roman,bütün sevimliliği ve kendine özgü mizahıyla hiç de saldırgan olmayan sayısız özellikler ve örnekler içeriyor. Bu haksız eleştirilere “hep”muhatap kalmı...
