The Purdue Comparative Literature Program presents the 2010 Conference
Graphic Engagement: The Politics of Comics and Animation
Purdue University – West Lafayette, IN
September 2-4, 2010
The Purdue University Comparative Literature Program welcomes papers that explore the ways in which comics and film animation engage us politically and profoundly influence the way we define gender, race, religion, class, and nationhood. “Political” can be defined broadly, relating not only to affairs of state, but also the praxis of visual narrative and ways it affects individual identity and community dynamics. Possible paper topics may include, but are not limited to:
The appropriation of national myths and folktales in animated film
Dynamics of humor and subversion in syndicated comic strips
Imaging the ethnic/racial other in comics and other forms of visual narrative
Representations of gender and sexuality in anime and manga
The Franco-Belgian comics tradition and its political import
The language of comics as a form of rhetoric
Superheroes as defining, or complicating, communal and national identity
The use of graphic novels and animation in the classroom
Socio-political issues surrounding graphic novels and library cataloging
The links between comic/animated images and the gaming industry
Visual representations of conflict in such places as Israel, Korea, and Germany
Political cartooning and its social impact
Representations of trauma in comics and animation
Journalism, biography, and memoir in comics
Keynote Speaker
Kim Deitch got his start in the late 1960s, working at The East Village Other and Gothic Blimp Works. An Eisner Award-winning writer with experience in both comics and animation, he is the author of such works as All Waldo Comics, The Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Alias the Cat, Shadowland, and The Search for Smilin’ Ed
