Abstract:

In this creative project, I propose that comics can be used fruitfully to introduce undergraduates to the image-word dynamic, helping them become betters critics, more thoughtful consumers, and more effective creators of images. In addition, I argue that such a course of study be housed in an undergraduate rhetoric and composition major. Therefore, this project accomplishes three goals: it explores the rhetorical function of comics; second, it justifies the inclusion of comics in an undergraduate rhetoric-composition program; and, third, it provides a master syllabus for four classes that would provide the experience necessary to students wishing to study visual, verbal, and visual-verbal rhetorics.

Abstract:

In a critical analysis of several independantly produced South African comics of the 1980s and early 1990s, close analysis of the comics leads to an assessment of the artists'intentions and purposes. Discussion of the artists' sources focuses on definitions of different types of comics. What is defined as a comic is usually what has been produced under that definition, and these comics are positioned somewhere between the popular and fine art contexts. As the artists are amateurs, the mechanical structure of comics is exposed through their skill in manipulating, and their initial ignorance of, many comic conventions. By comparison to one another, and to the standard format of commercial comics, some explanation of how a comic works can be reached. The element of closure, bridging the gaps between frames, is unique to comics, and is the most important consideration. Comic artists work with the intangible, creating from static elements an illusion of motion. If the artist deals primarily with what is on the page rather than what is not, the comic remains static. Questions of quality are reliant on the skill with which closure is implemented. The art students who produced these comics are of a generation for whom popular culture is the dominant culture, and they create for an audience of peers. Their cultural milieu is more visual than verbal, and often more media oriented than that of their teachers. They must integrate a fine art training and understanding into the preset rules of a commercial medium. Confronted with the problem of a separation of languages, they evolve a new dialect. Through comparative and critical analyses I will show how this dialect differs from the language of conventional comics, attempting in particular to explain how the mechanics of the cornie medium can limit or expand its communicative potential.

Abstract:

Följande kunskapsöversikt ämnar att undersöka effekten serietidningsliknande läsmaterial har på läsförståelsen hos andraspråksinlärare av Engelska. För att undersöka detta formulerades följande forskningsfråga: I vilken mån kan serietidningsliknande material påverka läsförståelsen hon andraspråksinlärare av Engelska? En prototypisk definition av serietidningar (Mayer, 2007) användes för att tillåta denna kunskapsöversikt att använda både studier som använde serietidningar och studier som använde seriestrippar som läsmaterial. I denna kunskapsöversikt kommer därför termen serietidningsliknande läsmaterial (Comic reading materials) användas som en paraplyterm för de två mediumen. För att granska om serietidningsliknande material kan påverka läsförståelsen för andraspråksinlärare i engelska har nio vetenskapliga artiklar som behandlar ämnet valts ut. Studierna I denna kunskapsöversikt har delats upp beroende på om de använder seriestrippar eller serietidningar/grafiska noveller då dessa två material bör åkalla effekten av de kognitiva teorier som presenteras i studien. Studierna gav inte ett tyligt svar på huruvida läsmaterialen påverkade läsförståelsen bland deras deltagare. Studierna hade även olika definitioner av nyckelord så som läsförståelse, skilda metoder för att mäta läsförståelse samt variation i hur de utförde texter tester. De olika resultaten från studierna har lett till följande slutsatser. Serieliknande läsmaterial har en potential som läromedel då de kan främja läsförståelse trots att det i fallet av de valda studierna inte alltid gör det. Det behövs vidare forskning i ämnet, då definitioner av nyckelbegrepp samt tester varierar i hög grad och detta gör det svårt att dra en tydlig slutsats.

Abstract:

The 21st century has seen an unprecedented rise in the volume of comics and graphic novels being produced and consumed and in scholarly interest in the form, with the interdisciplinary field of Comics Studies rising to become a vibrant global community with a significant body of work and an established academic infrastructure. Alternative comics and graphic novels - those outside of the superhero genre-dominated corporate publishing structures of Marvel and DC - have driven this rise and the ensuing legitimation of the form. What defines the specific nature of alternative comics and what they are is the particular work and labour of alternative cartoonists. This work is, in turn, characterized and defined by specific tensions between auteurism (driven by neoliberalism and late capitalism's veneration of the individual and the entrepreneur) and collective production (driven by the sociological perspective of works of art always being the product of many hands). This thesis is an attempt to present specific examples of where these tensions are exhibited and, as a result, to offer new accounts of the specific nature of comics work. It is also an attempt to move away from the formalism that has dominated the field of comics studies and to move towards an understanding of comics as cultural work, informed by an understanding of comics through their creators and an approach that allows comics practice to inform comics theory. Each chapter of this thesis examines a specific aspect of the culture of working in contemporary comics, contextualised within neoliberal political economy and consistently bridging the gap between auteurism and collective production. These include the portrayal of art school and comics' engagement with institutions; the direct portrayal of work itself in alternative comics; the use of colour in comics, which here facilitates a reading of the effects of the technical conditions of production on the content and construction of comics; and finally, the effects of digital culture and new disruptive technologies on the production, distribution and consumption of comics, and how this contributes to a present and future understanding of the figure of the auteur cartoonist. Drawing these chapters together, the thesis concludes with a presentation of the auteur cartoonist as one who drives the contemporary culture of comics and graphic novels in the emerging dialectic of comics work. Comics work is thus situated as a political act and a site of resistance and rebellion through collective production.

Abstract:

This thesis examines a selection of American newspaper comic strips from approximately 1930 to 1960. At the height of their runs, many strips appeared in upwards of a thousand newspapers in the United States alone, and syndicates crafted and adjusted the content of these strips according to their image of the average American. This work discusses the pop cultural significance of these strips as well as the traditional American values revealed through each of them. Three strips in particular are the focal point for this thesis: Blondie, created by Chic Young in 1930, Little Orphan Annie created by Harold Gray in 1924, and Li’l Abner created by Al Capp in 1934. The first chapter, focusing on the relationship between Blondie and Dagwood Bumstead, will discuss how power within the family hierarchy is predicated on moral character, as well as how the recurring theme of punishment develops through Dagwood’s personal failures. The second chapter will look at the idea of cultural regularity in Little Orphan Annie through an examination of Daddy Warbucks. It will also deal with themes of leadership and legacy as communicated by the relationship between Annie and Warbucks. The third and final chapter will discuss how the satirical strip Li’l Abner responded to Blondie and Little Orphan Annie in terms of its rejection of traditional family hierarchy, specifically relating to male-female relationships. Ultimately, this thesis seeks to illustrate how a selection of comic strips expressed certain moral values, and the way in which they placed the characters at the mercy of following those values.

Abstract:

Despite traversing the fine line between homosocial and homosexual (Brooker, 2000) in his controversial text Seduction of the Innocent, Fredric Wertham's (1954) description of Batman and Robin as a 'wish dream of two homosexuals living together' (Lendrum, 2004, p.70) represents one of the first published queer readings of superhero characters. This text can also be interpreted as the commencement of, and subsequent intense interest in the way superhero characters often portray a 'camp' sensibility (Medhurst, 1991) representative of a queer performative identity (Butler, 1993). This is most evident today within comic book fan-communities online where the sexual identity of popular superheroes are continuously explored and debated in discussion forums and expressed through the production of slash fiction and queer-themed fan art. Indeed, the ambiguity inherent in superhero comics has traditionally allowed and encouraged fans to operate as 'textual poachers' (Jenkins, 1992) appropriating these texts for their own means. Today, however, there exist a new generation of comic book superheroes, in the form of the Young Avengers, Uncanny X-Men and The Authority, which contain established 'out' gay characters. This paper will examine the implications of these series on the practice of fandom by analyzing fan reactions and responses to the manner in which the industry has opted to present a gay relationship between its superhero characters Wiccan and Hulkling and, Apollo and The Midnighter. The meaning of the shift from the 'implied' to 'actual' is examined in terms of fans' acceptance, resistance and desire to further appropriate the text.

Abstract:

O objetivo deste trabalho é fazer uma aproximação teórico-prática entre tiras cômicas e piadas. Defende-se a idéia de que ambas compartilham estratégias textuais semelhantes para provocar efeito de humor. A pesquisa revela também que há características comuns na composição dos dois gêneros. Pelo caráter interdisciplinar dos objetos de estudo - que envolvem elementos verbais orais, verbais escritos e visuais -, fezse necessária a utilização de diferentes campos teóricos. Da Lingüística, utilizamos os elementos ligados às Teorias do Texto, que trabalham o processo de formação do sentido dentro de um ponto de vista sociocognitivo interacional e que permitem um diálogo com outros campos científicos afins, como a Análise da Conversação, o estudo dos gêneros, as teorias da narrativa e os estudos sobre imagens. Das diferentes teorias do humor, extraemse os elementos constituintes do texto humorístico, em especial o princípio da incongruência, que quebra a expectativa do leitor/ouvinte, gerando humor. As idéias lingüístico-humorísticas são debatidas nos capítulos da Parte I. A parte seguinte é dedicada a uma releitura de teorias da área da Comunicação que trabalham diferentes pesquisas sobre histórias em quadrinhos, que abarcam as tiras cômicas. Com base em conceitos claros do que sejam piada e tira cômica, bem como quais são as estratégias utilizadas pelos dois gêneros, parte-se para a aplicação dos conceitos em um corpus de 40 tiras, análise que compõe a terceira parte do estudo.
The aim of this thesis es to study theorical and practical similarities between comic strips and jokes. The idea is to defend that both of them share similar text strategies to provoke humor effect. The research reveals that there are common characteristics in both genres composition. By the interdisciplinal character of the objects of study - which involve oral, written and visual verbal elements, - it was necessary to make use of different theorical areas. From Linguistic, we took elements related to the Text Theories, which deal with the sense formation process inside of na interational social-cognitive viewpoint and allow a dialog with other kindred scientific areas, such as the Conversation Analysis, the study of genres, narrative theories and studies abaout images. From the different humor theories, it was extracted components of humoristic text, specially the incongruence principle, which breaks the reader/listener expectance, making humor. The linguistichumoristic ideas are debated in the chapters of Part I. The following part isso dedicated to reading of the Communication area theories which deal with different researches about comics, including the comic strips. Based on a clear concepts of what are jokes and comic strips, as well as what are strategies used by both genres, we went for concepts application in a corpus of 40 strips, being this analysis the third part of the study.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper explores the way Hong Kong independent comics encapsulate the essence of the city. Independent comics are distinguished from mainstream comics by their specific mode of production. More significantly they demonstrate an emphasis on subjective personal creativity and craftsmanship, which stands out sharply in the pervasive objective culture in modern society. Adopting an anthropological approach in representing local ways of living, these comics attempt to map an identity of Hong Kong in a way that is free from confusing influences of her postcolonial history, her political subordination to China and the global capitalist forces. The artists of independent comics embrace the essence of local culture by focusing on space and cultural memory and thereby rediscovering the truth and characteristics of life in Hong Kong. As a form of popular cultural text, Hong Kong independent comics package the local identity and history into fashionable goods for cultural consumption. Together with this, the articulation of a shared past creates forces of cohesion that binds the community together and offers a way for the people to negotiate their identity.

Full text

Abstract:

Comics, graphic novels, and manga differ appreciably from textual narrative formats, and materials with increasingly visual elements have found their way into progressive and student-centered library collections. But many educators and librarians still resist inclusion of graphic narratives in school libraries and devalue the reading practice of students who prefer more visual texts. Using the framework of radical change, which posits that both text conventions and reader expectations for text are increasingly multimodal as they possess characteristics of evolving digital media, this study considered the relationship of the characteristics of text individual students prefer, particularly those they select from the school library, and their attitudes towards aspects of reading practice as evidenced through the Adolescent Motivation to Read Profile instrument. Survey data was supplemented with circulation history from the library management system to inform a correlational study punctuating attitudinal differences based on reader preferences. Findings include high school students who engage with graphic narrative text formats reporting more favorable views of libraries and reading. There is a demonstrable distinction in attitudes between students who prefer more visual text when compared with peers with more traditional print affinities. Student engaging with graphic narrative texts also report more frequent engagement with text overall. These demonstrated relationships should help to legitimize the inclusion of more graphic narrative text formats in school library collections.

Jeffery, Scott W. "Superhuman, transhuman, post/human : mapping the production and reception of the posthuman body." Thesis, University of Stirling, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/1893/19464.

Full text

Abstract:

The figure of the cyborg, or more latterly, the posthuman body has been an increasingly familiar presence in a number of academic disciplines. The majority of such studies have focused on popular culture, particularly the depiction of the posthuman in science-fiction, fantasy and horror. To date however, few studies have focused on the posthuman and the comic book superhero, despite their evident corporeality, and none have questioned comics’ readers about their responses to the posthuman body. This thesis presents a cultural history of the posthuman body in superhero comics along with the findings from twenty-five, two-hour interviews with readers. By way of literature reviews this thesis first provides a new typography of the posthuman, presenting it not as a stable bounded subject but as what Deleuze and Guattari (1987) describe as a ‘rhizome’. Within the rhizome of the posthuman body are several discursive plateaus that this thesis names Superhumanism (the representation of posthuman bodies in popular culture), Post/Humanism (a critical-theoretical stance that questions the assumptions of Humanism) and Transhumanism (the philosophy and practice of human enhancement with technology). With these categories in mind the thesis explores the development of the posthuman in body in the Superhuman realm of comic books. Exploring the body-types most prominent during the Golden (1938-1945), Silver (1958-1974) and contemporary Ages of superheroes it presents three explorations of what I term the Perfect Body, Cosmic Body and Military-Industrial Body respectively. These body types are presented as ‘assemblages’ (Delueze and Guattari, 1987) that display rhizomatic connections to the other discursive realms of the Post/Human and Transhuman. This investigation reveals how the depiction of the Superhuman body developed and diverged from, and sometimes back into, these realms as each attempted to territorialise the meaning and function of the posthuman body. Ultimately it describes how, in spite of attempts by nationalistic or economic interests to control Transhuman enhancement in real-world practices, the realms of Post/Humanism and Superhumanism share a more critical approach. The final section builds upon this cultural history of the posthuman body by addressing reader’s relationship with these images. This begins by refuting some of the common assumptions in comics studies about superheroes and bodily representations. Readers stated that they viewed such imagery as iconographic rather than representational, whether it was the depiction of bodies or technology. Moreover, regular or committed readers of superhero comics were generally suspicious of the notion of human enhancement, displaying a belief in the same binary categories -artificial/natural, human/non-human - that critical Post/Humanism seeks to problematize. The thesis concludes that while superhero comics remain ultimately too human to be truly Post/Humanist texts, it is never the less possible to conceptualise the relationship between reader, text, producer and so on in Post/Humanist terms as reading-assemblage, and that such a cyborgian fusing of human and comic book allow both bodies to ‘become other’, to move in new directions and form new assemblages not otherwise possible when considered separately.

This dissertation aims to analyze some questions about reading comprehension from the genre comic strip in the vestibular context, based on Textual Linguistics and studies on textual genres. This research justifies itself because comic strips have been pointed by PCN (Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais) as a textual genre to be privileged in classroom and have been coming up constantly in exams, such as Enem (Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio), Saresp (Sistema de Avaliação do Sistema Escolar do Estado de São Paulo) and college entrance exams (vestibulares). We also have to bring out that, more recently, PNBE ( Programa Nacional Biblioteca na Escola) included comic books in its list of books. Bearing in mind the objective of this research, some comprehension questions were selected, for exemplification, and elaborated on the textual genre comic strip in Unicamp vestibular, in the period 2002- 2008. The results indicate that the questions require from de reader knowledge of comic strips characteristics, attention to the non-verbal language associated to the verbal language, activation of diverse knowledge (linguistic, encyclopedic, textual, interactional etc), production of inference, and so on. In sum this work calls attention to the necessity of working comic strips reading in classroom in a perspective which brings out the reader s role as an active subject who appeals to several strategies in order to produce any sense in the text

Há de se destacar também que, mais recentemente, o PNBE (Programa Nacional Biblioteca da Escola) incluiu os quadrinhos em sua lista de livros. Tendo-se em vista o objetivo da pesquisa, foram selecionadas, para exemplificação, questões de compreensão elaboradas sobre o gênero textual tira no vestibular da Unicamp, no período de 2002 a 2008. Os resultados indicam que as questões solicitam do leitor conhecimentos das características das tiras; atenção à linguagem não-verbal em associação à linguagem verbal; ativação de conhecimentos diversos (lingüísticos, enciclopédicos, textuais, interacionais etc.); produção de inferências, dentre outros. De modo geral, o trabalho chama a atenção para a necessidade de se trabalhar a leitura de tiras em sala de aula em uma perspectiva que destaque o papel do leitor como um sujeito ativo que recorre a várias estratégias para produzir sentido do texto

The teaching conceptions of the oral language and its peculiarities related to writing have been increasingly recurring themes in the recent proposals of curricular frameworks that guide the learning processes of education systems in Brazil. However, the treatment given to orality in Portuguese classes is still far from ideal, considering the competences and the skills that must be developed during the teaching practice for the study of this kind of language. Before these concerns, we reflect on the alternatives of studying of oral language mediated by the genre of strips as well as the methodological referrals that the language professional can take ownership for the development of this practice. Therefore, the objective of the research was to make a study about the comic strips discursive genre as a potential object of teaching and learning of oral elements present in writing. The methodology adopted was action research, in which we elaborate a didactic proposal for linguistic analysis of oral aimed the study of the specificities of speech represented in the written language of the strips. The activity was applied in three moments to the 1st grade of high school of an official state school of Pernambuco. As theoretical contribution, we have the analysis of conversation, based on studies of Kerbrat-Orecchioni (2006) and Marcuschi (2008), in addition to we have the contributions about the oral practices at the Fávero school; Andrade and Aquino (2012) and Schneuwly and Dolz (2004) and Ramos (2014), the latter referring to the genre of strips in comic. We could recognize at the end of this scientific research that through comic narratives, the teacher can build educational strategies directed to the study of spoken and written language by the presence of constituent elements of a conversational activity in verbal interactions that make up this genre.
As concepções de ensino da linguagem oral e suas particularidades relacionadas à escrita têm sido temas cada vez mais recorrentes nas recentes propostas dos referenciais curriculares que norteiam os processos de aprendizagem dos sistemas de ensino do Brasil. Entretanto, o tratamento dado à oralidade nas aulas de Língua Portuguesa ainda está longe de ser o ideal, se considerarmos as competências e habilidades que devem ser desenvolvidas ao longo da prática docente para o estudo dessa modalidade da língua. Diante dessas inquietações, refletimos acerca das alternativas de estudo da linguagem oral mediado pelo gênero textual tirinhas, bem como os encaminhamentos metodológicos que o profissional da língua pode apropriar-se para o desenvolvimento dessa prática. Assim, o objetivo da investigação foi realizar um estudo do gênero discursivo tiras em quadrinhos como um potencial objeto de ensino e aprendizagem dos elementos da oralidade presentes na escrita. A metodologia adotada foi a da pesquisa-ação, na qual elaboramos uma proposta didática de análise linguística da oralidade visando ao estudo das especificidades da fala representadas na linguagem escrita das tirinhas. A atividade foi aplicada em três momentos para uma turma da 1ª série do Ensino Médio de uma escola da rede oficial de ensino do estado de Pernambuco. Como aporte teórico, temos a Análise da Conversação, com base nos estudos de Kerbrat-Orecchioni (2006) e Marcuschi (2008), além das contribuições acerca das práticas orais na escola de Fávero; Andrade e Aquino (2012) e Schneuwly e Dolz (2004) e de Ramos (2014), este último, referente ao gênero tiras em quadrinhos. Reconhecemos, ao fim dessa investigação científica, que por meio das narrativas em quadrinhos o professor pode construir estratégias de ensino direcionadas ao estudo da língua falada e escrita devido à presença de elementos constitutivos de uma atividade conversacional nas interações verbais que compõem esse gênero.

Abstract:

Attempts to define what comics are and explain how they work have not always been successful because they are premised upon the idea that comics are inherently and almost exclusively visual. Drawing on social definitions for its object, this study challenges that premise and asserts that comics is not just a visual medium. The study outlines the multisensory aspects of comics: the visual, audible, tactile, olfactory and gustatory elements of the medium. It rejects a synaesthetic approach (by which all the senses are engaged through visual stimuli) and instead argues for a truly multisensory model by which the direct stimulation of the reader's physical senses can be understood. A wide range of examples demonstrate how multisensory communication systems work in both commercial and more experimental contexts. The thesis concludes with a case study that looks at the works of Alan Moore and indicates areas of interest that multisensory analysis can draw out, but which are overlooked by ocularcentric approaches.

This research proposes the use of comics (comic strips; comic books and graphic novels) to teach History in Elementary Schools and High Schools. By the comics content analysis, this research will offer as suggestions on how comics can be used as historical sources to study an specific age or period as support or reference to stimulate thinking about the origins of the anachronisms found in the stereotypes and other popular images traditionally associated to past cultures. This research intends to identify which are the main difficulties, challenges or even limitations avoiding a better and more constant use of the comics as a tool to teach History.
O projeto propõe estabelecer um suporte teórico e metodológico para a utilização das HQs no ensino da História pelos professores de História que trabalham no ciclo 2 do ensino fundamental e no ensino médio. Através da análise do conteúdo das HQs, esta pesquisa fornecerá sugestões práticas de como as HQs tanto podem ser usadas como fonte documental para o estudo de determinada época quanto podem ser material de apoio para promover em sala de aula reflexões sobre a gênese dos anacronismos encontrados nas representações de culturas do passado. Pretende identificar avanços e também as principais dificuldades, obstáculos ou mesmo limites que ainda impedem um uso mais freqüente ou proveitoso desse recurso no ensino de História.

Abstract:

Techronomicon Techronomicon is a science fiction novel that examines far-future military actions from several different perspectives. Human beings have colonized several planets with help from the enigmatic and more technologically advanced Zhir, who gave spaceships and habitable worlds to those they deemed suitable and their descendants. The Joint Expeditionary Force is the military arm of the Universal Faith, called in when conflicts arise that the Faith decides are beyond the local government and militia and require their intervention. Leneveldt and Roader are JEF officers assigned to Operation Techronomicon, investigating what seems to be a Zhir-built defence shield around the planet Lassana. Another JEF company sent to Kalaabhavan after the murder of the planets Confessor-General loses its CO to a land-mine, and Lieutenant Hellerman reluctantly accepts command. Chevalier, a civilian pilot, takes refugees fleeing military-run detention camps on Ararat to a biological research station on otherwise uninhabited Lila. The biologists on Lila discover a symbiote that enables humans to photosynthesize, which comes to the attention of Operation Techronomicon and the JEF's Weapons Research Division. Leneveldt and Roeder, frustrated by the lack of progress on Lassana, are sent to Lila to detain the biologists, who flee into the swamps. Hellerman's efforts to restore peace on Kalaabhavan are frustrated by the Confessors, and his company finds itself besieged by insurgents. The novel explores individuals' motives for choosing or rejecting violence and/or military service; the lessons they learn about themselves and their enemies; and the possible results of attempts to forcibly suppress ideas.

Abstract:

The desire for heroes is a global and cultural phenomenon that gives a view into society’s very heart. There is no better example of this truism than that of the superhero. Typically, Superheroes, with their affiliation to values and morality, and the notion of the grand narratives, should not fit well into postmodernist theory. However, at the very core of the superhero narrative is the ideal of an individual creating his/her own form of morality, and thus dispensing justice as the individual sees fit in resistance to metanarrative’s authoritarian and restrictive paradigms. This research will explore Superhero comic books, films, videogames and the characters Superman, Spider-Man and Batman through the postmodernist conceptions of power, plurality, and morality.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the popularity of comic magazines among Japanese adult readers--primarily it looks at the male audience, but it also considers female response. It analyses texts of specific men's comics to illustrate the discourse of "masculinity-through-occupation" which these magazines offer to readers. In addition it explores the phenomenon of "readership response" by examining a selection of "reader letters." The role-adaptation-through-enjoyment possibilities these comic magazines provide to male readers is compared to parallel possibilities for female readers by examining both women's responses to male comics, and the nature of narrative in women's comics.

Full text

Abstract:

The focus of this research is the critically neglected comic strip work produced by the Irish painter Jack B. Yeats for a number of British publications between c. 1893 and 1917. The thesis seeks to identify and analyse the corpus of his previously unexamined work, positioning it in relation to contemporaneous media, entertainment and popular culture, as well as to the early development of the British comic. This thesis seeks to establish the key role that Yeats played in the early development of the form, during a key phase in its evolution. The claims that the thesis makes for Yeats as an important comic strip artist are based on extensive archival research, focused on comics such as Comic Cuts, The Big Budget and The Halfpenny Comic published in London by Alfred Harmsworth, Arthur Pearson and George Newnes respectively. He went through a number of identifiable phases in terms of his graphic style, producing a very substantial volume of work over the course of his career, largely in the form of series of strips featuring recurring characters, a number of which became very popular with the reading public. Yeats has almost exclusively been discussed in terms of his fame as a fine artist, despite the fact that his comics work was widely disseminated during his lifetime. Given that the work was once well known, as part of a novel and widely circulated mass medium, it is necessary to interrogate the absence of this material from art-historical accounts of his work and reassess Yeats as a comic strip artist. In Ireland there has been a tendency to articulate Yeats in terms of national identity, and thus avoid recognition of his engagement with, and contribution to, British popular culture. Issues regarding the mutual exclusivity of the ‘high’ and ‘low’ cultural registers in which he operated has likewise resulted in the valorization of a particular area of his creative activity and the exclusion of the material acknowledged, discussed, and celebrated here. The repositioning of Yeats in relation to comic strip art has profound implications for the study of twentieth century Irish art generally, and for Yeats connoisseurship specifically, and proposes significant challenges to both, as well as making a contribution to British comics history.
