This essay analyzes Kevin Huizenga’s comicsand shows how they signal our awareness to the conscious act of supposing in the construction of meaning in our everyday lives. Purposely withholding explanation, and making the reader do the work of parsing the visual assumptions of the surface to understand the basic action depicted in the frame, Walkin’ models the processes we use when we try to make sense of what we see. Those processes are each small narratives of meaning, but they are occurring so quickly in our minds that their strangeness is hardly ever noticed. This comic continuously reminds the reader of the strangeness of the common, a strangeness that should give them pause. By making readers attend to the intersections of lines on the surface of the page, Huizenga’s comics suggest the possibilities of more metaphysical intersections.
本文分析了凯文·惠曾加的漫画,并展示了它们是如何在我们日常生活中构建意义的有意识的假设行为中表明我们的意识的。故意不做解释,让读者去分析表面的视觉假设,以理解框架中所描述的基本动作,Walkin模拟了我们试图理解所看到的东西时所使用的过程。这些过程都是有意义的小叙述,但它们在我们的脑海中发生得如此之快,以至于我们几乎没有注意到它们的陌生感。这部漫画不断地提醒读者,普通事物的奇异之处,这种奇异之处应该让他们停下来。通过让读者注意页面表面线条的交叉点,惠曾加的漫画暗示了更多形而上交叉点的可能性。

The Ineffability of Form 形式的不可言说性
Pub Date : 2018-10-18 DOI: 10.14325/mississippi/9781496819215.003.0003

This chapter discusses how two graphic novels—The Rabbi’s Cat by Joann Sfar and Tina’s Mouth: An Existential Diary by KeshniKashyap—illustrate awe, sanctity and ineffability. In exploring how each narrative exposes the sacred, this chapter looks at the interplay between word and image, suggesting multiple, concurrent, and layered definitions of divinity. Each text creates a multi-layered conversation inviting the reader to explore textual/visual accounts of the sacred. This dynamic relationship between visual and written narratives informs how readers integrate words from a type of visual dialogue in order to unpack multiple meanings. That kind of agency suggests a graphic articulation of what Mikhail Bakhtin named heteroglossia (multi-languagedness)—the multiple contemporaneous literary exchanges that operate in different spheres. The heteroglossia of the graphic novel allows the reader to envisage multiple, simultaneous interpretations of the sacred.
本章讨论了两本图画小说——乔安娜·斯法的《拉比的猫》和克什尼·卡什亚普的《蒂娜的嘴:存在主义日记》——是如何阐释敬畏、神圣和不可言说的。在探索每一种叙述如何揭示神圣的过程中,本章着眼于文字和图像之间的相互作用,提出了对神性的多重、并行和分层的定义。每一个文本都创造了一个多层次的对话,邀请读者探索神圣的文本/视觉账户。这种视觉和书面叙述之间的动态关系告诉读者如何从一种视觉对话中整合文字,以解开多重含义。这种代理暗示了一种米哈伊尔·巴赫金所称的异语(多语言)的图形表达——在不同领域运作的多种同时期文学交流。图画小说的异质语允许读者设想对神圣的多重同时解释。

Slaying A Biblical Archetype 杀死一个圣经的原型
Pub Date : 2018-10-18 DOI: 10.14325/mississippi/9781496819215.003.0007

This chapter discusses how Tom Gauld’sGoliath places the reader in the position of a hapless Philistine in a visually and textually poetic rendering of 1 Samuel that ultimately challenges the mythic portentousness of all messianic/nationalist narratives. Goliath’s two-color panels counter the traditional ways that the story has been construed in Gauld’s appealing portrait of a gentle giant who is entirely content to spend his days poring over official paperwork. Gauld’s disruptive text may be usefully considered alongside new scholarly interventions that assess the inconvenient material and historical realities that may be lurking just beneath the biblical text. Goliath reveals how ancient scripts of violence are encoded in the mythic conflicts of a tiny homeland, and expresses a growing artistic movement impatient with the dominance of conventional alliances between political hegemony and the sacred.
这一章讨论了汤姆·戈尔德的歌利亚是如何将读者置于一个不幸的非利士人的位置上,在视觉和文本上诗意地呈现了《撒母耳记》,最终挑战了所有弥赛亚/民族主义叙事的神话预言性。《歌利亚》的双色画板打破了人们对这个故事的传统解读,戈尔德描绘了一个温柔的巨人,他完全满足于把时间花在研读官方文书上。戈尔德的破坏性文本可能与新的学术干预一起被认为是有益的,这些干预评估了可能潜伏在圣经文本之下的不方便的材料和历史现实。歌利亚揭示了古老的暴力脚本是如何被编码在一个小小的家园的神话冲突中,并表达了一种日益增长的艺术运动,对政治霸权和神圣之间传统联盟的主导地位感到不耐烦。

Will Eisner
Pub Date : 2018-10-18 DOI: 10.14325/mississippi/9781496819215.003.0015
L. Kaplan
This essay explores Will Eisner’s work in A Contract with God (1978). The book, emanating from pre-biblical wisdom, is paradigmatic for its harsh warning about human expectations. In it, Eisner created parables and midrash, literary criticism and political commentary, to capture moments that reveal a culture to itself. This emerging paradigm, the essay argues, is a new form of Jewish wisdom.The essay reads Eisner’s work both through the work of Isaiah Berlin, but also as a Midrash on the book of Job. In utilizing Berlin’s political thought, along with the foundation of the biblical tale, one can discern Eisner’s vision of transformative, messianic politics, that lie in the vicissitudes and battles of the everyday.
本文探讨了威尔·艾斯纳在《与上帝的契约》(1978)中的作品。这本书源于《圣经》之前的智慧,是对人类期望的严厉警告的典范。在这部电影中,艾斯纳创造了寓言和讽刺,文学批评和政治评论,捕捉了揭示一种文化本身的时刻。这篇文章认为,这种新兴的范式是犹太人智慧的一种新形式。这篇文章既通过以赛亚·伯林的作品来阅读艾斯纳的作品,也将其作为《约伯记》的米德拉什。利用伯林的政治思想,以及圣经故事的基础,人们可以看出艾斯纳对变革的弥赛亚政治的看法,这种看法存在于日常的沧桑和战斗中。

Urban Revelation in Paul Madonna’s Postsecular Comics 保罗·麦当娜的后世俗漫画中的城市启示
Pub Date : 2018-10-18 DOI: 10.14325/mississippi/9781496819215.003.0012
Ofra Amihay
This essay explores the work of San Francisco-based artist Paul Madonna, his unique use of the tropes of imagetext and its implications concerning authority, readership and meaning in a post-modern, post-secular world. In reading through the absences in Madonna’s work – the absence of people in the landscape, the absence of an observing entity, the absence of a clear symbol and reference, this essay argues for a philosophical approach that underlies this work, one that can be dubbed “Durkheimian Existentialism.” In analyzing the ‘space’ Madonna creates in his work between an empty city landscape and human communication through the French thinker, Émile Durkheim, this essay argues for meaning behind the visual absence of people in Madonna’s comics: a celebration of people’s centrality and importance in a reality with no external meaning, to the extent that they themselves can become a revelation.
本文探讨了旧金山艺术家保罗·麦当娜的作品,他对图像文本比喻的独特运用及其在后现代、后世俗世界中对权威、读者和意义的影响。通过阅读麦当娜作品中的缺失——风景中人的缺失,观察实体的缺失,清晰的象征和参考的缺失,这篇文章论证了一种哲学方法,这种方法可以被称为“迪尔凯姆存在主义”。通过分析麦当娜通过法国思想家Émile涂尔干在他的作品中创造的空城景观和人类交流之间的“空间”,本文论证了麦当娜漫画中人的视觉缺失背后的意义:庆祝人在没有外部意义的现实中的中心地位和重要性,在某种程度上,他们自己可以成为一种启示。

Writing the Sacred in Craig Thompson’s Habibi 在克雷格·汤普森的《哈比比》中书写神圣
Pub Date : 2018-10-18 DOI: 10.14325/mississippi/9781496819215.003.0001
M. Backus, Ken Koltun-From
This chapter discusses how Craig Thompson’s Habibi (2011) constructs the oriental sacred through Arabic calligraphy, weaving sacrality into the visual and textual narrative of the imagined, exotic other. The exotic and even erotic forms of calligraphy stylize a natural and imminently accessible sacred that works within an oriental mode of visual exposure. We can see this oriental sacred in the natural landscape, in the mythic and salvific animals, in the Islamic textual traditions of hadiths and Qur’an, and in the material body of Dodola who captures the young Zam’s erotic fantasies. Thompson deploys calligraphy to open Islamic and Arabic culture to the oriental gaze, imagining the sacred within the imagined world of Richard Burton’s 1,001 Arabian Nights. Within this space and gaze, Arabic calligraphy takes on the form and function of the sacred orient.
本章讨论克雷格·汤普森(Craig Thompson)的《哈比比》(Habibi, 2011)如何通过阿拉伯书法构建东方神圣,将神圣性编织到想象的、异国他物的视觉和文本叙事中。书法的异国情调,甚至情色的形式形成了一种自然的,迫在眉睫的神圣,在一种东方的视觉暴露模式下工作。我们可以在自然景观中,在神话和拯救动物中,在伊斯兰传统的圣训和古兰经中,在Dodola的肉体中看到这种东方的神圣,Dodola抓住了年轻的Zam的性幻想。汤普森运用书法向东方人展示伊斯兰和阿拉伯文化,在理查德·伯顿(Richard Burton)的《一千零一夜》(1001 Arabian Nights)的想象世界中想象神圣的世界。在这个空间和凝视中,阿拉伯书法呈现出神圣东方的形式和功能。

“Honor the Power Within” “尊重内在力量”
Pub Date : 2018-10-18 DOI: 10.14325/mississippi/9781496819215.003.0010
Jeffrey L. Richey
This chapter describes and analyzes the ways in which Japanese youth interest in onmyōji—particularly the disproportionate interest shown by young Japanese women—engages the social realities of contemporary Japanese life., where feelings of uncertainty and precariousness abound.By utilizing a variety of disciplinary approaches to culture—among them those of anthropology, gender theory, history, literary criticism, and religious studies—it seeks to produce a fresh look at how the onmyōji “boom,” now some thirty years in duration with apparently enduring appeal, is relevant to contemporary concerns about cultural authenticity and identity, gender and sexuality, and spirituality and religion in Japan.
本章描述并分析了日本年轻人对onmyōji-particularly的兴趣——日本年轻女性表现出的不成比例的兴趣——与当代日本生活的社会现实的关系。在美国,不确定和不稳定的感觉比比皆是。通过运用多种学科研究文化的方法——其中包括人类学、性别理论、历史、文学批评和宗教研究——它试图以一种全新的视角来审视onmyōji“繁荣”是如何与日本当代对文化真实性和身份、性别和性、精神和宗教的关注相关的。onmyōji“繁荣”已经持续了大约30年,显然具有持久的吸引力。

The Dark Phoenix as “Promising Monster” “有前途的怪物”——黑凤凰
Pub Date : 2018-10-18 DOI: 10.14325/mississippi/9781496819215.003.0009
S. Langsdale
This essay argues that mainstream superhero comics have real pedagogical potential and that the Dark Phoenix Saga in particular might be taught in ways which are both critical and creative. Through employing an interdisciplinary approach — including feminist analysis of Christian mysticism, as well as postmodern theories of corporeality—the character of Jean Grey/Phoenix may be interpreted in ways which critique hegemonic definitions of female sexuality as monstrous and which constructively challenge certain assumptions about agency, identity, and embodiment.Specifically, this essay explores theories of religious subjectivity that do not rely solely on agency as subversion and disruption of the hegemonic narrative. The essay employs different theories and notions, like that of promising monsters (among others), to encourage reading of the Dark Phoenix saga not only as a monological patriarchal narrative about the threat of female sexuality and corporeality, and the dangers of mystical religious subjectivity, but as a text full of narratives, agencies, interpretative and pedagogical possibilities.
这篇文章认为,主流超级英雄漫画具有真正的教学潜力,尤其是《黑凤凰传奇》,可以用批判性和创造性的方式来教授。通过采用跨学科的方法——包括对基督教神秘主义的女权主义分析,以及后现代的物质现实理论——琴·格雷/菲尼克斯的性格可能会被解释为批评女性性行为的霸权定义是可怕的,并建设性地挑战关于代理、身份和化身的某些假设。具体而言,本文探讨了宗教主体性理论,这些理论并不仅仅依赖于作为霸权叙事的颠覆和破坏的代理。这篇文章采用了不同的理论和概念,比如有希望的怪物(以及其他),鼓励读者不仅把《黑凤凰》作为一种关于女性性和肉体的威胁、神秘宗教主体性的危险的单一父权叙事,而且把它作为一种充满叙事、代理、解释和教学可能性的文本。

Many Comic Book Ramayanas 很多《罗摩衍那》漫画书
Pub Date : 2018-10-18 DOI: 10.14325/mississippi/9781496819215.003.0005
Karline Mclain
This chapter focuses on the multivocal nature of the Ramayana epic in Indian graphic narratives from the 1970s to the present. There are two dominant narrative trends that arise in these graphic retellings. The first trend is to uphold Rama as the ideal god-king by presenting Rama as the clear hero of the epic story both textually and visually. The second trend is to critique Rama as the ideal god-king by focusing the textual and visual narrative on other protagonists within the epic storyline, and thereby engage in a critical examination of Rama through feminist and/or subaltern perspectives. This essay sheds light on the contested interpretation of the god Rama within contemporary Hinduism and South Asian culture more broadly. These comics that idealize Rama and those that question his idealism, when taken together, are valuable for their ongoing contributions to the multivocal nature of the Ramayana story.
本章重点讨论了20世纪70年代至今印度图形叙事中罗摩衍那史诗的多声性。在这些图形复述中出现了两种主要的叙事趋势。第一个趋势是通过在文本和视觉上将Rama呈现为史诗故事中明确的英雄,将Rama视为理想的神王。第二种趋势是通过将文本和视觉叙事集中在史诗故事情节中的其他主角上,来批判罗摩作为理想的神王,从而通过女权主义和/或次等视角对罗摩进行批判性考察。这篇文章更广泛地揭示了当代印度教和南亚文化中对罗摩神有争议的解释。这些将罗摩理想化的漫画和那些质疑他理想主义的漫画放在一起,对罗摩衍那故事的多声音本质的持续贡献是有价值的。

This essay analyses Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America (2007), a five-issue limited series from Marvel Comics. The series is designed as an exploration of grief and bereavement, looking in on the moments unfolding in the wake of Captain America’s death and tracing out the reactions of Marvel’s most central characters to the loss of their friend and comrade as they work through the stages model of grief famously articulated by Kübler-Ross. But rather than analyze Fallen Son as a demonstration of that model, this essay suggests that it is more useful to read the series for the ways that it undermines Kübler-Ross’ framework, navigating the complex affective territory of grief in loss by challenging the very diagrammatic structure of staged emotional categories it purports to employ as narrative chapters.
这篇文章分析了《堕落之子:美国队长之死》(2007),这是漫威漫画公司的一部五期限定系列漫画。该系列旨在探索悲伤和丧亲之痛,关注美国队长去世后的时刻,并追踪漫威最重要的角色对失去朋友和同志的反应,因为他们经历了由k勒-罗斯(kbler - ross)著名的悲伤阶段模型。但是,本文并没有将《堕落之子》作为这种模式的示范来分析,而是认为,阅读该系列作品更有用的地方在于,它破坏了k伯勒-罗斯的框架,通过挑战舞台情感类别的图解结构,在失去亲人的悲伤中导航复杂的情感领域。
