[Comicsstudiessociety] R: Introduction

[silvia vari]

Hi everyone,

first of all, I am really glad that this network exists, as I am still fairly new to comics studies.

I only recently graduated in the Research Master’s in Literary Studies at the University of Amsterdam, hence I would say I’m more of a comics scholar “wannabe”. I am currently working on the political affordances of comics’ form and aesthetics, and how the medium voices nomadic subjects and offers visibility to the phenomenon of (forced) migration in the Mediterranean area.
I’m also extremely interested in countercultural, underground and autonomously produced comics and ‘zines.

I am looking forward to the many interesting exchanges this mailing list will provide in the future.

Best,
Silvia Vari

Oggetto: Re: [Comicsstudiessociety] Introduction

Hi Michael! We haven’t been doing introductions, but since the list is fairly new I really like this idea, especially since we won’t be meeting each other in person at conferences for the foreseeable.

I’m trained in Canadian literature and culture, and work mostly on autobio comics, Canadian comics, Indigenous comics, and refugee/migrant comics. I’m interested in print and digital comics, and I am keeping track of online Canadian Covid comics for a future project about how cartoonists here documented the first six months of the pandemic.

Any other list members want to introduce themselves? Would love to know who’s “here” and what connections we can make across our diverse field.

Candida

Hi,

I'm new to the list and didn't know if new members introduced themselves or not.

My academic training is as a medievalist, but I mostly work on the medieval in modern popular culture, especially comics. My main research interests are in representations of the Arthirian legend in comics, but I've also looked at depictions of Beowulf, Frankenstein, and (just recently) Dracula.

Thanks for your time,
Michael
