Brian K. Vaughan’s and Marcos Martin’s science fiction comics series, Barrier (2015‐18), is a five-issue story set on the US-Mexican border and contributing to the continuing public discourse surrounding undocumented immigration in the United States. First appearing as a webcomic on Vaughan’s Panel Syndicate website and later published in comic book form by Image Comics, Barrier’s story of two characters, a Honduran refugee and a Texas rancher who struggle with and eventually come to rely on one another, depicts linguistic and cultural boundaries and borders, as well as the frustration and hostility they can generate. As comics, Barrier’s very medium works by means of crossing boundaries and borders: binaries (like word and image) are complicated if not subverted, and the borders of each panel remain closed yet open for sequential art to function as a medium for narrative. Moreover, as a bilingual webcomic crossing into print yet all but encouraging an ongoing virtual engagement through web searches and Google Translate, the series demands further creative energy from the reader in reimaging various barriers, borders and positions of liminality. Although stories that represent various kinds of borders (social, cultural and geopolitical) and various ways of establishing, challenging, crossing or deconstructing borders are frequently found in graphic narratives, Barrier demonstrates the south-west border to be one the medium of comics is especially suited to explore. Barrier is a work that takes as its very subject, to borrow a phrase from Ramzi Fawaz, ‘spatially drawn analogies’ in order to engage graphically matters of genuine political import. In doing so, Barrier not only reflects obliquely on its own form, but also engages creatively with one of the most politically and culturally contested spaces in contemporary US culture.
布莱恩·k·沃恩(Brian K. Vaughan)和马科斯·马丁(Marcos Martin)的科幻漫画系列《屏障》(2015 - 18)是一个以美墨边境为背景的五期故事,对美国无证移民的持续公共讨论做出了贡献。《屏障》最初以网络漫画的形式出现在沃恩的Panel Syndicate网站上,后来由Image Comics以漫画的形式出版。《屏障》讲述了两个角色的故事,一个是洪都拉斯难民,一个是德克萨斯州的农场主,他们相互斗争,最终相互依赖,描绘了语言和文化的界限和边界,以及他们可能产生的挫折和敌意。作为漫画,Barrier的媒介作品是通过跨越边界和边界的方式完成的:二元(如文字和图像)即使没有被颠覆,也很复杂,每个面板的边界保持封闭但又开放,以便连续艺术作为叙事媒介。此外,作为一部即将出版的双语网络漫画,除了通过网络搜索和谷歌翻译鼓励持续的虚拟参与外,该系列还需要读者进一步的创造力,以重新想象各种障碍、边界和阈限的位置。尽管在图形叙事中经常可以找到代表各种边界(社会、文化和地缘政治)的故事,以及建立、挑战、跨越或解构边界的各种方式,但《屏障》表明,西南边界是漫画特别适合探索的媒介之一。借用拉姆齐·法瓦兹的一句话,《屏障》是一部以“空间类比”为主题的作品,目的是通过图形化的方式处理真正具有政治意义的问题。在这样做的过程中,“屏障”不仅间接地反映了其自身的形式,而且创造性地融入了当代美国文化中最具政治和文化争议的空间之一。

Fire in the jungle: Genocide and colonization in Russell and Pugh’s The Flintstones 丛林之火:罗素和帕格的《燧石》中的种族灭绝和殖民化

Mark Russell and Steve Pugh’s The Flintstones comic book (2016‐17) addresses US colonialism much more directly than most popular media but focalizes its story through a white, settler American. Thus, it represents an unwillingness and/or inability to think outside of that narrow perspective, i.e. while it is anti-colonial, it is not postcolonial. The book was published through a licensing agreement between Hanna-Barbara and DC Comics in which several Hanna-Barbera cartoons were combined with contrasting genres to create grim and/or mature stories. DC’s The Flintstones, in particular, takes on a collection of social issues, including religion as cynical manipulation, military-industrial propaganda, exploitation of foreign/immigrant labour and media depictions of the environmental crisis. However, it consistently undermines its own messages, often through visual jokes that end up confirming the ideas the book satirizes but also through sincere pronouncements that prevent the satirical critique from reaching a concrete conclusion. The overarching narrative of the series is about the lingering trauma of colonization. It equates the colonization of the land presently held by United States with that country’s war in Vietnam. This equation results from depicting the literal colonization of an Indigenous space and land but using imagery that reflects US media depictions of their war in Vietnam: colonialist soldiers in green fatigues use fire (i.e. napalm) to exterminate racist caricatures of Southeast Asian guerrilla fighters in order to clear a forest and expose the literal bedrock from which the Flinstone’s city will be built. Fred Flintstone, who represents a settler American, states quite directly that he ‘participated in a genocide’ as a soldier in that invasion, thus confirming an anti-colonialist critique. However, the book never takes on the perspective of the colonized peoples, who by then have been wiped out, which is why it stops short of a postcolonialist critique.
马克·拉塞尔(Mark Russell)和史蒂夫·帕格(Steve Pugh)的《弗林特斯通》(The Flintstones)漫画书(2016-17)比大多数流行媒体更直接地讲述了美国殖民主义,但通过一位白人定居者美国人来聚焦故事。因此,它代表着不愿意和/或无法跳出狭隘的视角进行思考,即尽管它是反殖民的,但它不是后殖民的。这本书是通过汉娜·芭芭拉和DC漫画公司之间的许可协议出版的,在该协议中,汉娜·芭芭拉的几幅漫画与对比鲜明的风格相结合,创造了冷酷和/或成熟的故事。华盛顿特区的《弗林特斯通报》特别报道了一系列社会问题,包括宗教作为玩世不恭的操纵、军工宣传、剥削外国/移民劳动力以及媒体对环境危机的描述。然而,它一直在破坏自己的信息,通常是通过视觉笑话,最终证实了这本书所讽刺的思想,但也通过真诚的声明,阻止讽刺批评得出具体结论。该系列的总体叙事是关于殖民主义挥之不去的创伤。它将美国目前控制的土地的殖民化等同于该国在越南的战争。这一等式源于对土著空间和土地的字面殖民,但使用的图像反映了美国媒体对他们在越南战争的描述:穿着绿色迷彩服的殖民主义士兵用火(即凝固汽油弹)消灭对东南亚游击队战士的种族主义漫画,以清除森林,暴露弗伦斯通城市的字面基石将建造。弗雷德·弗林斯通(Fred Flintstone)是一名美国定居者的代表,他非常直接地表示,在那次入侵中,他作为一名士兵“参与了种族灭绝”,从而证实了反殖民主义的批评。然而,这本书从未从殖民地人民的角度出发,他们那时已经被消灭了,这就是为什么它没有进行后殖民主义批判的原因。

‘Who were you crying for?’: Empathy, fantasy and the framing of the perpetrator in Nina Bunjevac’s Bezimena “你在为谁哭?”: Nina Bunjevac的《Bezimena》中的移情、幻想和对犯罪者的框架

Serbian-Canadian cartoonist Nina Bunjevac’s third book, Bezimena (2019), embeds child sexual abuse and murder in an improbable geography where myth and fairy tale work together to create an otherworldly atmosphere, by turns mesmerizing and horrifying. Bunjevac’s previous work (Heartless [2012] and Fatherland [2014]) testifies to her continued commitment to exploring issues that are relevant to the feminist project, such as domestic violence, abortion, sexual assault and discrimination against female immigrant workers. In this article, we are particularly interested in exploring the manner in which Bezimena frames the figure of the perpetrator, as the context of the final question of the book ‐ ‘who were you crying for?’ ‐ repositions the entire ethical premise of the narrative by suggesting that responsibility for perpetration may lie both within and without the body and consciousness of the perpetrator himself. In conversation with scholars who attempt to expand the narrow category of ‘perpetrator’, such as Michael Rothberg or Scott Strauss, we explore how graphic narratives can contribute to a more nuanced understanding of perpetration, particularly in the case of sexual assault, and analyse Bezimena’s innovative approach to the representation of perpetration, as the book’s depiction of perpetrators and accomplices is mixed with elements of fantasy and mythology.
塞尔维亚裔加拿大漫画家妮娜·邦杰瓦茨的第三本书《贝齐梅娜》(2019)将儿童性虐待和谋杀嵌入了一个不太可能的地理环境中,神话和童话故事共同创造了一种超凡脱俗的氛围,时而令人着迷,时而令人恐怖。Bunjevac之前的工作(Heartless[2012]和Fatherland[2014])证明了她继续致力于探索与女权主义项目相关的问题,如家庭暴力、堕胎、性侵犯和对女性移民工人的歧视。在这篇文章中,我们特别感兴趣的是探索贝齐梅娜将施暴者的形象作为本书最后一个问题的背景——“你在为谁哭泣?”重新定位了叙事的整个伦理前提,提出犯罪的责任可能在犯罪者自己的身体和意识内外。在与迈克尔·罗斯伯格(Michael Rothberg)或斯科特·施特劳斯(Scott Strauss,因为这本书对犯罪者和同谋的描述融合了幻想和神话的元素。

Graphic panelling and the promotion of transnational affiliations in Thien Pham’s Sumo 在天藩相扑中,图形镶板和跨国关系的推广

In Thien Pham’s comic Sumo, simple graphics, iconic figures and limited dialogue assist in efficiently conceptualizing the notion of the transitive, the ability to convey meaning, to allow images to translate concepts quickly, including that of transnationalism itself. Character Scott, a failed American football player, relocates to Japan to take up sumo. His physical transnational move and eventual accommodation to a new sport, new city and new friends are reflected in Pham’s loose OuBaPo form: sections of the comic occurring in Japan and those in the United States follow a fairly strict panel count, diminishing evenly as the narrative progresses, suggesting Scott’s amalgamation of and acceptance in the East from his arrival from the West. But neither is privileged in Pham’s use of nearly equal numbers of panels representing Scott’s past in the United States, present in Japan and future in a smooth amalgamation of football and sumo, East and West, strength and flexibility, failure and success. Sumo uses efficient visual approaches ‐ the unique play inherent in OuBaPo as a drawing exercise in constraints, colour-coded panels and iconicity ‐ to accommodate and unify race and national differences.
在Thien Pham的漫画《相扑》中,简单的图形、标志性人物和有限的对话有助于有效地概念化传递性的概念,即传达意义的能力,使图像能够快速翻译概念,包括跨民族主义本身的概念。角色斯科特,一个失败的美国足球运动员,搬到日本学习相扑。他的身体跨国迁移,以及最终适应一项新的运动、新的城市和新的朋友,反映在范松散的OuBaPo形式中:漫画中发生在日本和美国的部分遵循相当严格的小组计数,随着叙事的进展而平均减少,这表明斯科特从西方来到东方后,融合并接受了东方。但范使用了几乎相同数量的小组,代表斯科特在美国的过去、在日本的现在以及足球与相扑、东方与西方、力量与灵活性、失败与成功的顺利融合中的未来,这两人都没有特权。Sumo使用高效的视觉方法——OuBaPo固有的独特玩法,在约束、颜色编码面板和图像性方面进行绘画练习——以适应和统一种族和民族差异。

Argha Manna is a cancer-researcher-turned cartoonist. He worked as a research fellow at Bose Institute, India. After leaving academic research, he joined a media-house and started operating as an independent comics artist. He loves to tell stories from the history of science, social history and lab-based science through visual narratives. His blog, Drawing History of Science (https://drawinghistoryofscience.wordpress.com), has been featured by Nature India. Argha has been collaborating with various scientific institutes and science communicator groups from India and abroad. His collaborators are from National Centre for Biological Science (NCBS, Bangalore), Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB, Hyderabad), Jadavpur University (Kolkata), Heidelberg Center for Transcultural Studies (University of Heidelberg, Germany) and a few others. Last year, he received STEMPeers Fellowship for creating comics on the history of vaccination and other aspects of medical histories, published in Club SciWri, a digital publication wing of STEMPeers Group. Currently, Argha is collaborating in a project, ‘Famine Tales from India and Britain’ as a graphic artist. This is a UK-based project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, led by Dr Ayesha Mukherjee, University of Exeter. In this interview, Partha Bhattacharjee and Priyanka Tripathi speak with Indian ‘alternative’ cartoonist Argha Manna to trace his journey from a cancer researcher to a cartoonist. Manna is a storyteller of history of science, in visuals. Recently, his works reflect social problems under the light of historical and scientific theories. Bhattacharjee and Tripathi trace Manna’s shift from a science-storyteller in a visual medium to a medical-cartoonist who is working on issues related to a global pandemic, its impact on life and literature vis-à-vis social intervention. They also focus on Manna’s latest comics on COVID-19.
Argha Manna是一位癌症研究者出身的漫画家。他曾在印度Bose研究所担任研究员。离开学术研究后,他加入了一家媒体公司,并开始以独立漫画艺术家的身份运营。他喜欢通过视觉叙事讲述科学史、社会史和实验室科学的故事。他的博客“绘制科学史”(https://drawinghistoryofscience.wordpress.com),已被《自然印度》杂志收录。Argha一直在与来自印度和国外的各种科学机构和科学传播团体合作。他的合作者来自国家生物科学中心(NCBS,班加罗尔)、细胞和分子生物学中心(CCMB,海得拉巴)、贾达夫普尔大学(加尔各答)、海德堡跨文化研究中心(德国海德堡大学)和其他一些机构。去年,他因创作关于疫苗接种史和医学史其他方面的漫画而获得STEMPeers奖学金,该漫画发表在STEMPeer集团的数字出版部门Club SciWri上。目前,Argha作为一名平面艺术家正在合作一个名为“印度和英国的饥荒故事”的项目。这是一个英国项目,由艺术与人文研究委员会资助,由埃克塞特大学的Ayesha Mukherjee博士领导。在这次采访中,Partha Bhattacharjee和Priyanka Tripathi与印度“另类”漫画家Argha Manna进行了交谈,讲述了他从癌症研究者到漫画家的历程。曼娜在视觉上讲科学史。近年来,他的作品从历史和科学的角度反映了社会问题。Bhattacharjee和Tripathi追踪了Manna从一个视觉媒介中的科学故事讲述者转变为一个医学漫画家的过程,他正在研究与全球大流行及其对生活和文学的影响以及社会干预有关的问题。他们还关注曼娜关于新冠肺炎的最新漫画。

Forging intragenerational and common memories: Revisiting Paracuellos’s graphic violence in times of confinement 锻造代际和共同记忆:重温帕拉奎略斯在禁闭期间的暴力画面
IF 0.3 0 HUMANITIES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2020-11-01 DOI: 10.1386/stic_00027_1

In our times of confinement, cultural production has become as important as it is precarious. Reading habits were revamped during the most stringent moments of the early lockdown. Some would consume new products, some would revisit their favourite classics. In this article, I analyse Carlos Giménez’s pioneering graphic work, a(n) (auto)biographical series of comics surrounding children’s experiences in Francoist orphanages, or ‘Homes’ (Hogares de Auxilio). I argue that Paracuellos operates as an isotopic and confining device at formal, thematic, intragenerational and affecting levels. It displays an aesthetic of confinement and brings together a set of core themes that generate a continuum of isotopic semantics, catalysing the work’s capacity to affect and be affected. Graphic violence is as its core and serves as the main constant, be that presently exercised or absently loomed, in a context of pathos, loss and scarcity. This article further explores how the comics series pulls back the veil on the folds of early Francoism as well as the later transition to democracy, a period of ‘lockdown’ for cultural memory in general, and for the experienced confinement in the Francoist ‘Homes’ in particular. The piece suggests that in retrieving this collection of common memories of recurrent episodes of violence experienced individually, Giménez’s work ultimately nuances the monolithic concept of collective memory within cultural production.
在我们这个封闭的时代,文化生产变得既重要又不稳定。在早期封锁最严格的时刻,阅读习惯得到了改变。有些人会消费新产品,有些人会重温他们最喜欢的经典。在这篇文章中,我分析了Carlos Giménez开创性的平面作品,这是一个(n)(自动)传记系列漫画,围绕着法语孤儿院或“家园”(Hogares de Auxilio)中的儿童经历。我认为Paracuellos在形式、主题、代际和影响层面上是一种同位素和限制装置。它展示了一种封闭的美学,并将一组核心主题结合在一起,这些主题产生了同位素语义的连续体,促进了作品的影响和被影响的能力。在悲情、失落和匮乏的背景下,图形暴力是其核心,也是主要的常量,无论是目前实施的还是缺席的。这篇文章进一步探讨了漫画系列如何揭开早期法语主义的面纱,以及后来向民主的过渡,这是一段为文化记忆而“封锁”的时期,尤其是在法语主义“家园”中经历的禁闭。这篇文章表明,在检索这些个人反复经历的暴力事件的共同记忆的过程中,Giménez的作品最终在文化生产中对集体记忆这一单一概念进行了细微的区分。

The piece suggests that in retrieving this collection of common memories of recurrent episodes of violence experienced individually, Giménez’s work ultimately\u0000 nuances the monolithic concept of collective memory within cultural production.","PeriodicalId":41167,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Comics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41350660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
