Indeed, the seemingly simple binary of outside/inside seems perpetually troubled throughout the career of this important comics artist, known for Fun Home, Are You My Mother?, and Dykes to Watch Out For. This volume extends the body of scholarship on her work from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives. In a definitive collection of original essays, scholars cover the span of Bechdel's career, placing her groundbreaking early work within the context of her more well-known recent projects. The contributors provide new insights on major themes in Bechdel's work, such as gender performativity, masculinity, lesbian politics and representation, trauma, life writing, and queer theory. Situating Bechdel among other comics artists, this book charts possible influences on her work, probes the experimental traits of her comics in their representations of kinship and trauma, combs archival materials to gain insight into Bechdel's creative process, and analyzes her work in community building and space making through the comics form. Ultimately, the volume shows that Bechdel's work consists of performing a series of selves-serializing the self, as it were-each constructed and refracted across and within her chosen artistic modes and genres"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Bechdel, Alison, $d 1960- $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Lesbian cartoonists. 650 0 $a Lesbian culture. 700 1 $a Utell, Janine, $d 1975- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t The comics of Alison Bechdel $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2020. $z 9781496825797 $w (DLC) 2019034415 830 0 $a Critical approaches to comics artists 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221203070056.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317021441.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=34DB9F4E5D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
