“…In addition, Satrapi mentions the dream-like structure of many of the scenes, which in real action would turn the film into science fiction or fantasy, but drawn images do so without creating a huge rupture with the realistic representation. The latter point highlights the potential of drawn images for representing subjective realities, which is seconded in the discussions on the documentary value of drawn images in portraying unmediated or hard-to-mediate scenes in animated documentaries and documentary comics (see DelGaudio 1997; Roe 2013; Chute 2016; Mickwitz 2016).…”

Comparing source and target media products is the main intermedial method for studying adaptations. The inventory of similarities and differences produced by such an endeavour provides evidence for the processes of transfer and transformation that have happened between the two media. But the finished media products are not the only traces of the process of adaptation. In practices of adaptation that happen inside media industries, such as film adaptations, the process is also documented in different forms and for different archival or market-oriented purposes. The process of film adaptation is, for instance, usually captured – although in fragments and in a staged format – by intermediary filmic media products – such as ‘making of’s – that are rarely considered as the main study objects in adaptation studies. As this article argues, such processual ways of looking at adaptations do not undermine the importance of comparative approaches but complicate the grounds for comparison. Suggesting a methodological shift to the process, the article expands this idea through a cross-pollination between adaptation studies and (media) production studies and exemplifies it through discussion of examples and one extended case study.

“…There are of course far too many other factors – from the rise of television, advertising and the internet (Gardner, 2006: 802–803), to the mainstreaming of trauma discourses (Chute, 2010) and the mediafication of war (Chute, 2016) – to suggest such a direct relationship. Nevertheless, on the one hand, it is exactly their adverse – some have argued even antidotal (Mickwitz, 2016) – relationship with a spectacle-driven visual culture that suggests comics might better capture the ‘slow violence’ of the Anthropocene that Nixon (2011: 6) worries is so absent from contemporary ‘corporate media’. On the other, and as we have shown above, a number of critics are increasingly coming round to the idea that graphic narrative might be an especially ‘fruitful site for investigating the capacity of both visual art and literature to respond to [the current] refiguring of the boundaries of the human subject and narrative’ (Perry, 2018).…”

It is widely recognised that the growing awareness that we are living in the Anthropocenean unstable geological epoch in which humans and their actions are catalysing catastrophic environmental change-is troubling humanity's understanding and perception of temporality and the ways in which we come to terms with socio-ecological change. This article begins by arguing in favour of posthumanism as an approach to this problem, one in which the prefix 'post' does not come as an apocalyptic warning, but rather signals a new way of thinking, an encouragement to move beyond a humanist perspective, and to abandon a social discourse and a worldview fundamentally centred on the human. The article then explores how the impending environmental catastrophe can be productively reimagined through graphic narratives, arguing that popular culture in general, and comics in particular, emerge as productive sites for geographers to interrogate and develop posthuman methodologies and narratives. Developing our analysis around two comics in particular-Here (McGuire, 2014) and Mad Max: Fury Road (Miller et al., 2015)we show how graphic narrative can help us to move beyond the nature-society divide that is rendered anachronistic by the Anthropocene.

Researchers have turned to comics as outputs incorporating their research findings. These comics are print and/or online publications that can lead to the wider adoption of research and enhance educational practices, widen public engagement, and improve the possibilities for research to influence public policy. This article presents an interview with Professor Katy Vigurs about Higher Fees, Higher Debts: Greater Expectations of Graduate Futures?, a comic based on a research report produced for the Society for Research into Higher Education (2016). In order to contextualize the interview, this article also provides an introduction to non-fiction comics research, and concludes with reflections on comics as a way of doing research. This article seeks to document and encourage further knowledge-exchange between the higher education sector and comics practitioners, and between researchers using comics in their research or as a means to disseminate their own research and those scholars who research comics as their main object of study.
