Recent Scholarship from Arthuriana Spring 2025
The previous number of Arthuriana, volume 35, number 1, for Spring 2025, is now available and can be read for free as open-access content from Project MUSE at https://muse.jhu.edu/issue/54796.
This is a special "crossover" issue with the journal's Public Humanities Project, The So What, and guest edited by Jonathan F. Correa Reyes and includes two items that focus on comics (plus some comments in Correa Reyes's introduction).
Subscriptions are also available at https://www.arthuriana.com/subscribe.
Table of Contents
(35.1)
Medieval Studies as a Public Good
Jonathan F. Correa Reyes
This introductory essay argues that Public Humanities frameworks can help medievalists re-establish our credibility with publics beyond the academy and embrace more collaborative models of knowledge production. Extending our reach beyond academic institutions will help us demonstrate the value of medieval studies as a public good. (JFCR)
From Chile to Camelot: Reception of the Arthurian Arc of Mampato and Ogú
Jonathan F. Correa Reyes and Camila Gutiérrez
This essay analyzes how the Arthurian arc of the Chilean comic Mampato and Ogú challenges the neocolonial rhetorics that cast Chile as a stagnant country, and how it afforded Chileans an opportunity to participate in a global cultural current of Arthurian adaptations. We discuss the meanings that the Arthurian motifs may have acquired during two very different political atmospheres: the years preceding Salvador Allende's democratic election and the onset of Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship. (JFCR & CG)
Unexpected Swords in the Stone
Brenna Duperron
The Arthurian legends are well-known for their knights-in-shining armour, quests, chivalry, supernatural encounters, and of course, swords being pulled out of stones. The use of the 'sword-in-the-stone' trope allows the 21st century superhero films to play with and reinvent the implications of a 'true right to rule,' and the bodies that are expected to fill those roles.

For fans of Critical Role and the original King Arthur and the Knights of Justice cartoon, this sequel finds the fantasy world of Camelot entering our own real world. A tale of leadership, forgiveness, swords, and sorcery, this tale asks how you can forgive your friends even when they’ve deeply harmed you.
Arthur King and his knights are back in the sequel to King Arthur and the Knights of Justice. We find Arthur King and the Knights in school, having moved on from the drama of their recent kidnapping in Camelot. But when Gallop gets a new girlfriend and Morgana breaks free in Camelot, Arthur and his teammates find themselves having to become knights once more in order to defend their home world–and Camelot–from the threat of evil magic.

An adventure-filled quest for an unlikely hero!
According to legend, only someone with honor, decency, and inner strength can remove an enchanted sword stuck in a massive stone. Many brave and powerful knights have tried, so it seems impossible that a young apprentice known as Wart could ever succeed. However, with the guidance of the wizard Merlin, help from some furry friends, and the power of true strength of character, Wart just might become England's greatest king!

CFP: Arthur Refracted: Representations of Arthur across Comics
Special Issue for Arthuriana
Email: jkeeton@ur.rochester.edu
Abstracts Due: January 19th, 2024
*If selected for the special issue, full articles will be expected June 7th.
Arthuriana seeks short abstracts (100-250 words) for a special issue on comics and the Arthurian legend. The comics do not have to be specifically about Arthur, but can draw on Arthurian legend in apparent, significant, and meaningful ways and can engage with myriad genres from superhero comics to more independent works. We are especially interested in papers that examine comics where the Arthurian legend is problematized, challenged, and remixed/rebooted while deploying perspectives from comics studies, visual studies, and cultural studies.

Casebier on Le Chevalier et la Charrette
Out now in the Journal of the International Arthurian Society:
Casebier, Karen. "Deviant Characters and the Limits of Inventio in ‘Le Chevalier et la Charrette’" Journal of the International Arthurian Society, vol. 10, no. 1, 2022, pp. 94-113. https://doi.org/10.1515/jias-2022-0007
Abstract
This essay will examine the characterisation of the principal characters and events in ‘Le Chevalier et la Charrette’, a contemporary graphic novel adaption of the Méléagant episode based on Chrétien de Troyes’s Le Chevalier de la charrette , by applying Mieke Bal’s classic study on narratology, in which legendary and ‘deviant’ characters evoke reactions of surprise or revulsion in the reader. The first section will address the limits of inventio in the portrayal of Lancelot, a legendary character whose behaviour and actions are somewhat limited by the reader’s background knowledge of him, whereas the remainder of the essay will focus on the use of the Lady of the Lake as a deviant character in the Méléagant episode. In the graphic novella, the Lady of the Lake is reinvented as a representation of Ankou, the servant of Death in Breton folklore. This allows the author and illustrator of the graphic novella to take advantage of the lacunae in the reader’s background knowledge to present a previously unknown facet of the Lady of the Lake’s character that bridges the gap between literary adaptation and literary appropriation, thereby resulting in a new cultural product that links medieval Arthurian legend to traditional Breton mythology.
