"El Guerrero del Antifaz : un héros de son temps ?".
2011
Paru en 1944, El Guerrero del Antifaz, de M. Gago, connut un immense succès. Jusqu’en 1966, la BD œuvra, bien entendu, à la mise en conformité idéologique des jeunes esprits dans la droite ligne des préceptes de l’Espagne franquiste. Après douze ans de silence – vaincu par El capitán Trueno, son concurrent – El Guerrero retrouva ses lecteurs (1978-1980). Le changement notoire subi par le personnage s’expliquait par l’évolution de la société espagnole elle-même, mettant en lumière le dilemme constant de Gago, partagé entre les contraintes d’une morale prédéfinie et celles de la réalité du marché. Et, de 1944 à 1980, la contradiction entre la morale et la réalité, fut aussi flagrante que sign…
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…
Superhuman Cognitions, Fourth Dimension and Speculative Comics Narrative : Panel Repetition in Watchmen and From Hell
2016
Abstract: This article investigates the use of repeating panels in relation to speculative fiction storytelling in graphic novels Watchmen and From Hell , written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons and Eddie Campbell, respectively. Presenting the same panel several times over the course of the narrative is an expressive medium-specific narrative technique available only to comics. In the discussed graphic novels, panel repetition is used to represent the superhuman cognitions of the quantum powered superhero Dr. Manhattan, as well as the magical experiences of Sir William Gull, the homicidal madman behind the brutal Jack the Ripper murders in Victorian London. Both characters hav…
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…
Un retrato de las tipologías sociales de la España de los años 50 a través de El DDT contra las penas = A portrait of social typologies of Spain from…
2015
Tradicionalmente, la historieta ha sido considerada como una forma cultural menor de vocación infantil, por lo que su estudio había sido soslayado en los estudios históricos hasta la reivindicación que diferentes investigadores comenzaron a hacer de la importancia historiográfica de la historieta tanto como referente gráfico como recurso de análisis diacrónico y sincrónico. En el presente estudio se hace un análisis de las posibilidades de estudio de tipologías y estereotipos sociales que muestra una de las publicaciones humorísticas básicas de los años 50, El DDT contra las penas, de Editorial Bruguera, indicando cómo los diferentes personajes que aparecen en sus páginas se pueden clasific…
Representations of nationality in Carl Barks' Lost in the Andes and Voodoo hoodoo
2013
Tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten kansallisuus ja ei-amerikkalaiset hahmot on esitetty Carl Barksin ankkatarinoissa Lost in the Andes ja Voodoo Hoodoo. Tutkielman perustana toimivat Scott McCloudin ja Juha Herkmanin sarjakuvia käsittelevät teokset sekä kansallisten stereotypioiden tutkimus. Sarjakuvat analysoitiin hyödyntäen McCloudin ja Herkmanin määritelmiä sarjakuvien eri elementeistä. Tutkimuksessa kävi ilmi, että paikalliset, ei-yhdysvaltalaiset hahmot on kuvattu yksipuolisesti, miesvaltaisesti ja muutamaa piirrettä korostaen kunkin kansallisuuden kohdalla. Esilletulleita seikkoja olivat muunmuassa hahmojen vaatetus, kasvonpiirteet, luonne sekä käyttäytyminen. Nämä piirteet…
Le récitatif entre espace périphérique et décrochage déictique du texte
2022
This article explores the issues at stakes in defining the narrative caption. As a starting point, it reviews usual definitions which combine a functional component (the caption provides a certain kind of information), a graphic component (that characterizes it as a space) and an enunciative component (the text which conveys the narrator’s voice) are combined. The article distingues between two objects: on the one hand the text box as a peripheral space in relation to the panel, on the other hand the caption as a textual element. In order to avoid the disputed concept of narrator and to include a wider set of texts, the caption as a text is defined by its lack of deictic anchoring in the im…
