This volume aims to intensify the interdisciplinary dialogue on
comics and related popular multimodal forms (including manga,
graphic novels, and cartoons) by focusing on the concept of medial,
mediated, and mediating agency. To this end, a theoretically and
methodologically diverse set of contributions explores the
interrelations between individual, collective, and institutional
actors within historical and contemporary comics cultures. Agency
is at stake when recipients resist hegemonic readings of multimodal
texts. In the same manner, "authorship" can be understood as the
attribution of agency of and between various medial instances and
roles such as writers, artists, colorists, letterers, or editors,
as well as with regard to commercial rights holders such as
publishing houses or conglomerates and reviewers or fans. From this
perspective, aspects of comics production (authorship and
institutionalization) can be related to aspects of comics reception
(appropriation and discursivation), and circulation (participation
and canonization), including their potential for transmedialization
and making contributions to the formation of the public sphere.
