In recent decades, comics have become a vibrant object of academic inquiry, crossing disciplinary boundaries and gaining legitimacy within fields such as cultural studies, media theory, education, and health humanities (Chute, 2011; Griffin, 2019). Despite this, much of the scholarly work has tended to focus on the formal features of comics—visual grammar, multimodal narration, and genre typologies—or on the analysis of iconic figures and mainstream productions (Groensteen, 2008; Eisner, 1996; McCloud, 1994). This edited collection instead aims to offer a distinct and timely perspective by examining comics through the lens of social genres, a conceptual framework that foregrounds the entanglements between comics and the socio-political realities they narrate, reflect, and contest.

摘要

In recent decades, comics have become a vibrant object of academic inquiry, crossing disciplinary boundaries and gaining legitimacy within fields such as cultural studies, media theory, education, and health humanities (Chute, 2011; Griffin, 2019). Despite this, much of the scholarly work has tended to focus on the formal features of comics—visual grammar, multimodal narration, and genre typologies—or on the analysis of iconic figures and mainstream productions (Groensteen, 2008; Eisner, 1996; McCloud, 1994). This edited collection instead aims to offer a distinct and timely perspective by examining comics through the lens of social genres, a conceptual framework that foregrounds the entanglements between comics and the socio-political realities they narrate, reflect, and contest.
