Key Terms in Comics Studies is a glossary of over 300 terms and
critical concepts currently used in the Anglophone academic study
of comics, including those from other languages that are currently
adopted and used in English. Written by nearly 100 international
and contemporary experts from the field, the entries are succinctly
defined, exemplified, and referenced. The entries are 250 words or
fewer, placed in alphabetical order, and explicitly
cross-referenced to others in the book. Key Terms in Comics Studies
is an invaluable tool for both students and established researchers
alike.
This accessible book explains the significance of relationships
between the body and the mark, visual imitation, drawing and
writing and visual storytelling, providing a simple guide to these
key ideas. For millennia drawing has been conceived as an
exploratory activity, mediating between the vision of the drafter
and what they are drawing. Drawing reveals hidden relationships,
directs attention, scrutinises the material world and provides
plans for further action. The book unpacks the key ideas that have
shaped the rich, complex and foundational activity of drawing. It
presents an unexpected, engaging and authoritative range of
illustrated examples of drawings made by culturally and
historically diverse people for different purposes, with different
media, in widely different times and situations. Educator, author
and artist Simon Grennan builds together concepts to create a
complete guide to ideas about drawing.
Marie Duval: maverick Victorian cartoonist offers the first
critical appraisal of the work of Marie Duval (Isabelle Emilie de
Tessier, 1847-1890), one of the most unusual, pioneering and
visionary cartoonists of the later nineteenth century. It discusses
key themes and practices of Duval's vision and production, relative
to the wider historic social, cultural and economic environments in
which her work was made, distributed and read, identifing Duval as
an exemplary radical practitioner. The book interrogates the
relationships between the practices and the forms of print,
story-telling, drawing and stage performance. It focuses on the
creation of new types of cultural work by women and highlights the
style of Duval's drawings relative to both the visual conventions
of theatre production and the significance of the visualisation of
amateurism and vulgarity. Marie Duval: maverick Victorian
cartoonist establishes Duval as a unique but exemplary figure in a
transformational period of the nineteenth century. -- .
This book offers an original new conception of visual story
telling, proposing that drawing, depictive drawing and narrative
drawing are produced in an encompassing dialogic system of embodied
social behavior. It refigures the existing descriptions of visual
story-telling that pause with theorizations of perception and the
articulation of form. The book identifies and examines key issues
in the field, including: the relationships between vision,
visualization and imagination; the theoretical remediation of
linguistic and narratological concepts; the systematization of
discourse; the production of the subject; idea and institution; and
the significance of resources of the body in depiction,
representation and narrative. It then tests this new conception in
practice: two original visual demonstrations clarify the particular
dialectic relationships between subjects and media, in an
examination of drawing style and genre, social consensus and
self-conscious constraint. The book's originality derives from its
clear articulation of a wide range of sources in proposing a
conception of narrative drawing, and the extrapolation of this new
conception in two new visual demonstrations.

What did it mean to be a woman working in the man's world of
cartooning? MARIE DUVAL is a celebration of the art and times of
Marie Duval - a unique, pioneering, innovative and highly
entertaining visual journalist, cartoonist and illustrator whose
work appeared in serial magazines and books at a time when the
identity of the artist, in Victorian England, was in radical flux.
Both a stage actress as well as an artist, Duval was uniquely
placed to take advantage of the first appearance of a mass leisure
culture by contributing to the weekly magazines that combined
current affairs and theatrics with a focus on urban life.; The work
of Marie Duval confounds one of our most commonplace ideas of the
Victorian era--that women were not supposed to create or even to
participate in public life and certainly not meant to be either
comic or professional. Her comic strips were not only pioneering in
terms of what we have come to call `comics,' but present a
vernacular comedy that frequently undercuts and supercedes the work
of her male contemporaries; The book provides an entertaining
visual account of the work of Duval as she struggled and succeeded
in creating a new urban visual culture. It will look in turn at key
aspects of Victorian mass leisure industry, such as tourism,
day-tripping, fashion, the theatre, art and the `season.' Placing
Duval in the visual context of the emerging profession of visual
journalism, this illustrated book offers an enticing glimpse of the
exciting, strange and world-changing media environment of London in
the last part of the nineteenth century.
