Anna Achmatova i Šerlok Cholms: liričeskij geroj i geroj narodnyj
2020
The new comic about Anna Akhmatova is an instance of transmedial translation; the new narrative however is not based on the writer's work but on her biography. This is justified by Akhmatova's conscious and active construction of her own life mythology. The lyrical hero of Akhmatova's poems started living her own life outside the texts: an analogous phenomenon has been observed concerning the heroes of mass-literature, Sherlock Holmes being an outstanding example. Consequently, the methodology which has been developed for the study of mass culture can be fruitfully applied to high literature – this does not mean that Akhmatova is a masscult writer, but rather that the distinction between bo…

Une guerre sans héros ? La guerre civile dans la bande dessinée espagnole (1977-2009)
2011
La bande dessinée espagnole de l’après-franquisme, à contre-courant de tous les autres secteurs de l’édition depuis 20 ans, n’a jamais témoigné d’un grand intérêt pour le sujet de la Guerre civile qui a déchiré l’Espagne entre 1936 et 1939. Autre sujet d’étonnement, les représentations qu’elle a pu en faire s’opposent radicalement au schéma classique et attendu de la bande dessinée d’aventure qui exalte la figure du héros de guerre. Les œuvres étudiées dans cet article (la tétralogie de Carlos Giménez et celle de Antonio Hernández Palacios), aussi différentes soient-elles, ne montrent qu’une chose : la tragédie de la guerre. Contrary to all other publishing sectors over the past two decades…
Ultreya, suseya, Santiago!” Viaggio e spazialità ne La ballata dei pellegrini
2020
Per studiare dal punto di vista della geografia culturale alcuni aspetti del pellegrinaggio a Santiago de Compostela, in Spagna, il capitolo prende in considerazione un testo letterario, il romanzo autobiografico "La ballata dei pellegrini" della scrittrice francese Edith De La Héronnière, pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1993 e tradotto in italiano nel 2004. Il romanzo racconta l’esperienza del pellegrinaggio giacobeo effettuato dall’autrice negli anni Novanta assieme a tre compagni di viaggio partendo da un cammino francese. In particolare, attraverso l’analisi di alcune parti del testo, si indagano le modalità attraverso le quali la narrazione costruisce e descrive lo spazio fisico e si…
Spazio, potere e memoria: riflessioni di un geografo su fumetto e cartoon di propaganda
2020
Il contributo discute criticamente e da una prospettiva geografica il nesso tra propaganda, fumetti e cartoons nel periodo dei totalitarismi novecenteschi. Viene quindi esplorato il modo in cui lo spazio, reale e simbolico, sia implicato attraverso le retoriche e le dialettiche del potere, nelle dinamiche sociali, economiche e identitarie.
Muréna en Amérique, censure et bande dessinée historiques aux Etats-Unis
2015
The study begins with an analysis of the reasons why the images of the American version of Murena are censored, with modest veils being thrown upon any instance of nudity while this version rather emphasizes the violence of the graphic novel in its translation and adaptation choices. That paradoxical attitude is discussed in the context of the ambiguities developed in the US culture as regards the representation of nudity being a reminder of the human species’ animal dimension in a society still fraught with puritanical assumptions. Although those ambiguous choices may be ascribed to the publisher’s wish to adapt Murena to the young readers regarded as their main target, they may also repre…
Something Borrowed : Interfigural Characterisation in Anglo-American Fantasy Comics
2016
It is no secret that comics’ formal structure resembles a pastiche: images, words and gaps of different styles and abstraction levels mix to tell a story that is more than their sum. Is it any wonder, then, that modern, myth-driven graphic novels tend to borrow their content elements – such as characters – from several heterogeneous sources as well? Wolfgang G. Müller's little-known but widely applicable theory of interfigurality (1991) shows how literary characters gain depth and resonance by sharing elements with characters in other works. The chapter revises his theory and shows how it could also be used in the analysis of comic book characters. Fantasy comics from Vertigo series like Fa…
I paesaggi di Roberto Raviola
2020
Tra le varie espressioni del disegno, quella del fumetto costituisce un connubio indissolubile tra immagine e testo che insieme formano la narrazione. Disegnare fumetti è un’arte, la costruzione di una letteratura disegnata che lascia sempre spazio all’immaginazione. Tra i fumettisti italiani più famosi, Roberto Raviola trova un posto di riguardo. Conosciuto con lo pseudonimo di Magnus, il percorso della sua vita lavorativa è stato straordinario. Il saggio vuole descrivere parte della sua opera. Among the various expressions of drawing, that of comics constitutes an indissoluble union between image and text that together form the narrative. Drawing comics is an art, the construction of a dr…
Science fiction parody in Don Rosa’s ”Attack of the Hideous Space-Varmints"
2016
This article concentrates on the comic “Attack of the Hideous Space Varmints” (1997) by Disney artist Don Rosa. The comic deals with Earthlings who invade the territory of one-eyed aliens. The aim is to study Rosa’s comic from a parodic perspective: how Rosa uses science fiction tropes characteristic to the 1950s cinema and comics and ridicules them. My methods consist of close reading followed by formalist comic analysis. While doing so, I also utilize the concept of metalepsis. The analysis will be supported by theoretical works on science fiction and the postmodern view of parody. One important source is Kimmo Ahonen’s recent doctoral dissertation concerning invasion films that offers ba…
