Maija

Nürnberger, Maija January 2023 (has links)
Maija is a graphic novel about identity, family, the tumultuous and often forgotten history of the Baltic region and, ultimately, how I have sought to create a relationship to a place from which I feel so disconnected. Using drawing as a means to bring myself closer to a lost family, as an act to record the past and also as a tool to create a possible future. Using my own hand, I am circling the past to bring it to a connecting point with my own present.

Rutor utan gränser : Att använda serier i bildundervisning / Frames without borders : using comics in visual arts education

Berg, Emmelie, Schelin, Sarah January 2024 (has links)
This paper compiles research regarding comics utilised in the visual arts classroom. Our findings are based on numerous research projects demonstrating the positive impact of incorporating comics into the classroom while acknowledging some potential challenges. Some of the history and background of comics will be explored, and we will take you along on our journey through databases full of research and case studies. Furthermore, the studies are sorted in an ascending fashion according to their relevance to this paper. Our goal is to offer insight into the educational potential of comics, drawing from the work of various researchers in the field. The findings show that while some challenges in instruction may occur, comics are a vastly underestimated and overlooked teaching tool in both visual arts and various subjects. The results tell us that comics in the visual arts classroom are filled with opportunities to broaden the bank of knowledge and resources further.

"Pasted Up and Printed Out": Watchmen as Ontographic Network

De Groff, Thomas B. 23 April 2024 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis explores Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' 1986-87 comic book series Watchmen according to its network structure, paying particular attention to page layout and the establishment of or deviation from the nine-panel "waffle iron" grid. This reading aims to better understand the comic book form, connecting the work of comics theorist Theirry Groensteen to certain elements of actor-network theory and Ian Bogost's notion of the ontograph--a map of being that emphasizes the interobjectivity of networked nodes. This thesis explores the ontographic nature of the comic book form more generally before tracing the meta-textual ontograph in Watchmen. The thesis then examines the network within the single panel, the multi-panel page layout, and the collaborative network of artist and author. Finally, this thesis explores how Watchmen as an ontograph exploits the affordances of the comic book form in order to construct creative temporalities.

Étude comparative, diachronique et synchronique du futur en italien, napolitain et français

Guiga, Ahlem 12 June 2012 (has links)
Notre recherche porte sur la compréhension approfondie de la chronogenèse italienne et, en son sein, de l'expression du futur, selon les principes théoriques et méthodologiques guillaumiens. Notre étude comparative associe les approches diachronique et synchronique. Nous étudions l'évolution de l'expression du futur de l'ancien italien à l'italien contemporain écrits grâce à un 1er corpus construit à partir du texte original du Decamerone de G. Boccaccio, de sa traduction en italien contemporain proposée par A. Busi et de sa traduction en français par J. Bourciez. Nous comparons l'expression du futur dans trois romans graphiques rédigés en italien (par des auteurs originaires de Vénétie et de Sicile) et en français, à l'aide d'une 2e série de corpus extrapolée à partir des transcriptions de ces BD. Nous observons, d'une part, les différences entre le français et l'italien standards contemporains, d'autre part, les réalisations de l'italien standard selon l'influence des substrats régionaux. Grâce à un 3e corpus, nous étudions l'expression du futur en napolitain en comparant les textes de chansons napolitaines du XIXe au XXIe, avec leurs traductions en italien et français standards. Notre confrontation des diverses solutions pour le futur couvre d'Ouest en Est la Romania occidentale (français standard, italien régional de Vénétie), la position centrale qu'occupe l'italien standard issu du florentin littéraire, la Romania orientale (italien régional de Sicile, napolitain). Nous étudions la distribution des formes morphologiques du futur (synthétiques, analytiques), leurs emplois (temporels, modaux) ainsi que les solutions alternatives d'expression du futur (autres temps, CC de temps). Nous discutons les concepts d'aspect, d'accompli et d'inaccompli, de perfectif et d'imperfectif et étudions leur distribution dans les formes morphosyntaxiques de l'expression du futur. / Our research focuses on the deep understanding of the Italian chronogenesis, and within it, of the expression of future, based on the theoretical and methodological principles of G. Guillaume. Our comparative study combines diachronic and synchronic approaches. We study the evolution of the expression of future from former Italian to contemporary Italian literature through a first corpus built from the original text of the Decameron of G. Boccaccio, its contemporary translation proposed by A. Busi and its French translation by J. Bourciez. We compare the expression of future in three Italian (by authors from the Veneto and Sicily) and French graphic novels, with a second series of corpus extrapolated from the transcripts of these comics. We observe, on one hand, the differences between French and Italian contemporary standards, and on the other hand, the achievements of the Italian standard according to its substrates' regional influence. With a third corpus, we study the expression of future by comparing Neapolitan songs texts from the XIXth to the XXth century, with their translations in Italian and French. Our comparison of the various solutions for future covers, from West to East, the western Romania (standard French, Veneto regional Italian), and the central position of the Italian literary standard from Florentine, Eastern Romania (Sicilian regional Italian, Neapolitan). We study the distribution of future's morphological forms (synthetic, analytic), uses (temporal, modal) and alternative expression of future (other times, adverbial phrase of time). We discuss the concepts of aspect, accomplished and unaccomplished, perfective and imperfective and study their distribution in the morphosyntactic forms of future's expression.

Využití grafického románu ve výuce němčiny / Graphic novels in German language teaching

Klusáčková, Marie January 2021 (has links)
This diploma thesis deals with the possibilities of using graphic novel in German language teaching (teaching German as a foreign language). The main premise of this thesis is that graphic novel, as a multimodal medium and a phenomenon of current literature, has a wide potential for the German (and other foreign languages) classroom. The goal of the thesis is to design a didactic material respecting the specific qualities of graphic novel and drawing upon its potential. The first chapter serves as an introduction, exploring graphic novel as a medium, as a phenomenon of current literature and as a pedagogical tool. The term is defined and put into context. In the second chapter, the method of a review study is employed to explore how graphic novel is used in the foreign language classroom. The systematic review has shown that it is possible to use graphic novel as a tool for achieving the objectives of foreign language teaching and learning - the language aims (through vocabulary acquistition, reading skills development and creative writing) as well as the cognitive and formative aims (through the development of literacies, cultural and historical awareness, intercultural competence and citizienship). Moreover, graphic novel proved to be positive influence on motivation. The third chapter uses the...

The Monster In My Closet

Neves, Mariana January 2024 (has links)
In waking life, in dreams. As Leonor attends the last year of catholic school in Leiria, Portugal, a new girl joins the class, and Rita is plagued by visions of a dragon following her relentlessly. The Monster in My Closet is a graphic novel about confronting one’s inner demons against the backdrop of a wider belief system. It depicts a journey of acceptance and realization of one’s queerness while living in a conservative, Catholic city; wrestling with lack of references, teenage insecurities, internalized homophobia, compulsive heterosexuality, and religious upbringing. The comics draw inspiration from medieval illuminations and marginalia, subverting Christian aesthetics by exploring the tension between the Word of God and the margins, insiders and outsiders, heteronormativity and queerness, and the process of othering. / <p>Mariana Neves</p><p>Artist Name: <strong>Mariana Sou</strong></p>
