Gene Kannenburg on the Comics Scholars' Discussion List shares notification of a comics-themed panel at McGill University's 10th Annual Graduate Symposium on Language and Literature.
"Comics and the reproduction of history" will examine "topics surrounding the representation of history in comics" at the symposium, taking place March 20 - 21, 2004.
"The vocabulary of film is often imported into discussions of comics because they are both forms of visual storytelling," writes panel co-ordinator Stephanie Boluk.
"However, to conceive of comics exclusively on the same terms as film ultimately renders the '9th art' a silent, frozen adjunct of the cinema. Having stated this caveat, paper proposals centred on film studies need not immediately be rejected on the fact that they are not comics. There may be a convergence with the themes and topics I have proposed."
Three-hundred word paper abstracts are due January 26 and can be submitted to Boluk via e-mail
