Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The article explores how the legacy of ancient Rome served the creative vision of the future found in the british comic Judge Dredd, firstpublished in 1977. The article argues that Judge Dredd appropriated motifs from Roman history to help establish the framework of the future and that the comic’s satirical tone was aided by these allusions to the classical world. The article concludes that the interaction with the classical past in Judge Dredd was brokered by contemporary popular culture, thus engaging the comic in a multidirectional cultural dialogue with past, present, and future.

Linguistics and the Study of Comics
- 2012

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Do Irish superheroes actually sound Irish? Why are Gary Larson's Far Side cartoons funny? How do political cartoonists in India, Turkey, and the US get their point across? What is the impact of English on comics written in other languages? These questions and many more are answered in this volume, which brings together the two fields of comics research and linguistics to produce groundbreaking scholarship. With an international cast of contributors, the book offers novel insights into the role of language in comics, graphic novels, and single-panel cartoons, analyzing the intersections between the visual and the verbal. Contributions examine the relationship between cognitive linguistics and visual elements as well as interrogate the controversial claim about the status of comics as a language. The book argues that comics tell us a great deal about the sociocultural realities of language, exploring what code switching, language contact, dialect, and linguistic variation can tell us about identity – from the imagined and stereotyped to the political and real.

Visions of the Future in Comics : International Perspectives
- 2017
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Across generations and genres, comics have imagined different views of the future, from unattainable utopias to worrisome dystopias. These presaging narratives can be read as reflections of their authors' (and readers') hopes, fears and beliefs about the present. This collection of new essays explores the creative processes in comics production that bring plausible futures to the page. The contributors investigate portrayals in different stylistic traditions-manga, bande desinees-from a variety of theoretical perspectives. The disparate yet coherent picture that emerges documents the elaborate storylines and complex universes comics creators have been crafting for decades.
