Description

Comics medium has long been employed to communicate with a range of audiences from mainstream entertainment to counter-cultural and educational settings. The topics addressed by these comics are equally wide-ranging, from superhero stories to histories of war, and from graphic medicine to activism, to name just a few examples. Comics research, in the meantime, came to encompass not only close-reading of specific texts but also the making of comics as a research method. Through a series of day long events and discussions, Comics Study Day invites participants to take stock of some of these developments and explore comics as a performative medium.
