This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In France, comics are commonly referred to as the "ninth art". What does it mean to see comics as art? This book looks at the singular status of comics in the French cultural landscape. Bandes dessinées have long been published in French newspapers and magazines. In the early 1960s, a new standard format emerged: large hardback books, called albums. Albums played a key role in the emergence of the ninth art and its acceptance among other forms of literary narrative. From Barbarella in 1964 to La Ballade de la mer salée in 1975, from Astérix and its million copies to Tintin and its screen versions, within the space of just a few years the comics landscape underwent a deep transformation. The album opened up new ways of creating, distributing, and reading bandes dessinées. This shift upended the market, transformed readership, initiated new transmedia adaptations, generated critical discourse, and gave birth to new kinds of comics fandom. These transformations are analysed through a series of case studies, each focusing on a noteworthy album. By retracing the publishing and critical history of these classic bandes dessinées, this book questions the blind spots of a canon based on the album format and uncovers the legitimisation processes that turned bande dessinée into the ninth art.
Download or read book Carnival written by Milla Cozart Riggio and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-10-14 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated volume features work by leading writers and experts on carnival from around the world, and includes two stunning photo essays by acclaimed photographers Pablo Delano and Jeffrey Chock. Editor Milla Cozart Riggio presents a body of work that takes the reader on a fascinating journey exploring the various aspects of carnival - its traditions, its history, its music, its politics - and prefaces each section with an illuminating essay. Traditional carnival theory, based mainly on the work of Mikhail Bakhtin and Victor Turner, has long defined carnival as inversive or subversive. The essays in this groundbreaking anthology collectively reverse that trend, offering a re-definition of 'carnival' that focuses not on the hierarchy it temporarily displaces or negates, but a one that is rooted in the actual festival event. Carnival details its new theory in terms of a carnival that is at once representative and distinctive: The Carnival of Trinidad - the most copied yet least studied major carnival in the world.

Download or read book Photography and Political Repressions in Stalin s Russia written by Denis Skopin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the phenomenon of removal of people declared "public enemies" from group photographs in Stalin’s Russia. The book is based on long-term empirical research in Russian archives and includes 57 photographs that are exceptional in terms of historical interest: all these images bear traces of editing in the form of various marks, such as blacking-out, excisions or scratches. The illustrative materials also include a group of photographs with inscriptions left by officers of Stalin’s secret police, the NKVD. To approach this extensive visual material, Denis Skopin draws on a wealth of Stalin-era written sources: memoirs, diaries and official documents. He argues that this kind of political iconoclasm cannot be confused with censorship nor vandalism. The practice in question is more harrowing and morally twisted, for in most cases the photos were defaced by those who were part of victim’s intimate circle: his/her colleagues, friends or even close family members. The book will be of interest to scholars working in history of photography, art history, visual culture, Russian studies and Russian history and politics.

Download or read book Le th tre de la censure XVIe et XXIe si cles written by Renaud Adam and published by Académie royale de Belgique. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet essai porte sur la censure des livres et, plus spécifiquement, sur sa mise en scène. Il ambitionne d’apporter des éléments de compréhension à un phénomène résolument contemporain par une mise en perspective avec la situation du XVIe siècle. Loin de verser dans un comparatisme historique simpliste, la volonté est de proposer des pistes de réflexions sur la problématique de la censure au début de l’ère numérique à l’aune d’une grille de lecture élaborée pour le XVIe siècle, qui connut l’un des plus grands épisodes « biblioclastes » de l’histoire européenne. Historien du livre de la première Modernité, Renaud Adam travaille pour la maison de vente Arenberg Auctions (Bruxelles). Ses travaux portent principalement sur l’économie du livre dans les anciens Pays-Bas (XVe-XVIIe siècle), avec une attention particulière aux questions d’ordre socioéconomique, aux transferts culturels et à la réception de la culture italienne. Il a abordé ces thématiques dans plusieurs livres, dont Vivre et imprimer dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux (des origines à la Réforme) (2018).
Download or read book In the Public Eye written by James Smith Allen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Darnton, Roger Chartier, and others have written much on the history of reading in the Old Regime, but this is the first broad study of reading to focus on the period after 1800. How and why did people understand texts as they did in modern France? In answering this question, James Allen moves easily from one interpretive framework to another and draws on a wide range of sources--novels, diaries, censor reports, critical reviews, artistic images, accounts of public and private readings, and the letters that readers sent to authors about their books. As he analyzes reading "in the public eye," the author explores the formation of "interpretive communities" during the years when reading silently and alone gradually became more common than reading aloud in a group. In the Public Eye discusses printing, publishing, literacy, schooling, criticism, and censorship, to study the social, cultural, economic, and political forces that shaped French interpretive practice. Examining the art and act of reading by different audiences, it discloses the mentalities of literate people for whom few other historical records exist. The book will be essential reading for those interested in modern French history, post-structuralist literary theory and criticism, reader-response theory and criticism, and social and intellectual history in general.
