Sinopsis

Frames and Framing in Documentary Comics explores how graphic narrativesáreframe global crises while also interrogating practices of fact-finding. An analogáprint phenomenon in an era shaped by digitalization, documentary comicsáformulates a distinct counterapproach to conventional journalism. In what waysáare âÇÖfactsâÇÖ being presented and framed? What is documentary honesty in a worldáof fake news and post-truth politics? How can the stories of marginalized peoplesáand neglected crises be told? The author investigates documentary comics ináits unique relationship to framing: graphic narratives are essentially shaped byáa reciprocal relationship between the manifest frames on the page and theáattention to the cognitive frames that they generate. To account for both theátextuality of comics and its strategic use as rhetoric, the author combines theoriesáof framing analysis and cognitive narratology with comics studies and its attentionátoward the mediumâÇÖs visual frames.
