Comics in Culture/Culture in Comics
The aim of the conference is to present a wide array of perspectives of different forms of comics and their role in culture. Comics, as a unique combination of literature and visual arts, spanning from child entertainment, through popculture, to independent artistic expression, are a great source of interdisciplinary research. This is why we welcome entries on variety of topics exploring the relations between them and culture.
We welcome proposals from all disciplines. Possible topics include (but are not limited to) the following themes and subject areas:
- adaptations of comics
- comic cons
- comics and the culture of convergence
- comics and the quotidian
- comics as a medium of culture
- comics as objects of study
- DIY culture and comics
- multicultural comics
- subculture and comics
