Von der hinteren Coverseite

This comprehensive collection considers Jewish women graphic novelists and the richly figured ways in which Jewish identity is complicated by gender, memory, generation, and place. The contributors to this volume demonstrate how graphic narratives can capture the complexities of identity through the juxtapositions of word and image. Often preoccupied with memory--of loss, of personal and collective histories, and of transformative moments--graphic novels allow memory to materialize in the drawn shape of the body as an expression of personal and collective histories. The innovative and fluid conventions of graphic narratives embody the self through panels, gutters, spaces of separation, and bleeds and in the unexpected joining of text and image. The diverse forms and structures of graphic narratives discussed in this volume by a range of international scholars demonstrate how graphic narratives reach into the past to provide a touchstone for the shape of identity.
