Description
Comics have always embraced a diversity of?formats, existing in complex relationships to other?media, and been dynamic in their response to new?technologies and means of distribution. This?collection explores interactions between comics,?other media and technologies, employing a wide?range of theoretical and critical perspectives. By?focusing on key critical concepts within?multimodality (transmediality, adaptation,?intertextuality) and addressing multiple platforms?and media (digital, analogue, music, prose,?linguistics, graphics), it expands and develops?existing comics theory and also addresses?multiple other media and disciplines. Over the last decade Studies in Comics has been?at the forefront of international research in comics.?This volume showcases some of the best research?to appear in the journal. In so doing it?demonstrates the evolution of Comics Studies?over the last decade and shows how this research?field has engaged with various media and?technologies in a continuously evolving artistic and?production environment. The theme of?multimodality is particularly apt since media and?technologies have changed significantly during?this period. The collection will thus give a view of?the ways in which comics scholars have engaged?with multimodality during a time when "modes"?were continually changing.
