The Human Rights Graphic Novel : Drawing it Just Right
by Nayar, Pramod K.
Material type: Book; Format:
print
; Literary form:
not fiction
Publisher: London and New York: Routledge, ©2021Dissertation note: "This book studies human rights discourse across a variety of graphic novels, both fiction and non-fiction, originating in different parts of the world, from India to South Africa, Sarajevo to Vietnam, with texts on the Holocaust, the Partition of the Indian subcontinent, the Rwandan and Sarajevan genocides, the Vietnam War, comfort women in World War II, the Civil Rights movement in the USA, to mention a few. The book demonstrates the emergence of the 'universal' subject of human rights, despite the variations in contexts. It shows how war, rape, genocide, abuse, social iniquity, caste and race erode personhood in multiple ways in the graphic novel, which portrays the construction of vulnerable subjects, the cultural trauma of collectives, the crisis and necessity of witnessing, and resilience-resistance through specific representational and aesthetic strategies. It covers a large number of authors and artists: Joe Sacco, Joe Kubert, Matt Johnson-Walter Pleece, Guy Delisle, Appupen, Thi Bui, Olivier Kugler and others. Through a study of these vastly different authors and styles, the book proposes that the graphic novel as a form is perfectly suited to the 'culture' and the lingua franca of Human Rights due to its amenability to experimentation and the sheer range within the form. The book will appeal to scholars in Comics Studies, Human Rights Studies, Visual Culture Studies and to the general reader with an interest in these fields" Availability: Items available for loan: Central Library, RBU.
