This anthology hosts a collection of essays examining the role of
comics as portals for historical and academic content, while
keeping the approach on an international market verses the American
one. Few resources currently exist showing the cross-disciplinary
aspects of comics. Some of the chapters examine the use of Wonder
Woman during World War II, the development and culture of French
comics, and theories of Locke and Hobbs in regards to the state of
nature and the bonds of community. More so, the continual use of
comics for the retelling of classic tales and current events
demonstrates that the genre has long passed the phase of for
children's eyes only. Additionally, this anthology also weaves
graphic novels into the dialogue with comics.
Trans Identities in the French Media: Representation, Visibility,
Recognition explores the representation of trans identities in
contemporary French society, with essays in fields as wide-ranging
as translation studies, women's and gender studies, film studies,
and comics studies. This book analyzes the multi-layered meaning of
"representation" to reflect on the questions of trans visibility
and recognition in a French context. The texts selected provide
readers with in-depth and innovative analyses that discuss the
representation of trans identities in the French media, its main
challenges, as well as the pitfalls and innovations that shape
these representations today.
