[Comicsstudiessociety] Year’s Work Books List (again)

Wed May 11 13:22:25 EDT 2022

Hi there!

It’s a bit of shameless self-promotion, but my writing partner and I contributed a piece called, “Incorporating Epitext Through a Layered-Literacies Approach: Revisiting the Study of Maus” to the collection From Text to Epitext: Expanding Students’ Comprehension, Engagement, and Media Literacy. It came out in 2021, but the publisher has done little to promote it. I happen to think it’s great!

You can find more info here: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.abc-clio.com/products/a6384p/__;!!KGKeukY!12OmKt-iwaO2uw99cdGinsQXTctSqCsn7_U_uSeW0nnbWWzDQj-j3Ex6JTIW0MXTIQqiaaYJysoG2R90etgF9BnLRn9Uqjh5Kw2S8jA$ 

I’m happy to provide more information if needed.

Thanks,

Eric Federspiel

Hi, everyone.

As many of you know, Anna Peppard and I write the comics section of Oxford UP’s Year’s Work in English Studies, which means we compile a list of all books on comics scholarship in English every year.

We already have (heavens help us) eighty-six titles (a number that will come down somewhat as we go through them), and I am posting our list, here, just in case you notice anything that’s missing. Please do  not hesitate to send us books that you have written, edited, etc! We want those very much.

The section includes anything in English that would be of interest to comic scholars who work primarily in English, and we include as much global/international/transnational material as we are able to, logistically. It’s a wide net, is my point.

Here’s the list. Let me know if you can see anything to add.
