Sequential images are as natural at conveying narratives as verbal
language, and have appeared throughout human history, from cave
paintings and tapestries right through to modern comics.
Contemporary research on this visual language of sequential images
has been scattered across several fields: linguistics, psychology,
anthropology, art education, comics studies, and others. Only
recently has this disparate research begun to be incorporated into
a coherent understanding. In The Visual Narrative Reader, Neil Cohn
collects chapters that cross these disciplinary divides from many
of the foremost international researchers who explore fundamental
questions about visual narratives. How does the style of images
impact their understanding? How are metaphors and complex meanings
conveyed by images? How is meaning understood across sequential
images? How do children produce and comprehend sequential images?
Are visual narratives beneficial for education and literacy? Do
visual narrative systems differ across cultures and historical time
periods? This book provides a foundation of research for readers to
engage in these fundamental questions and explore the most vital
thinking about visual narrative. It collects important papers and
introduces review chapters summarizing the literature on specific
approaches to understanding visual narratives. The result is a
comprehensive "reader" that can be used as a coursebook, a
researcher resource and a broad overview of fascinating topics
suitable for anyone interested in the growing field of the visual
language of comics and visual narratives.
