Leichter, Ian MacRae, Alfonso MunÌoz-Corcuera, Corry Shores, and Jarkko S. Tuusvuori In a follow-up to Comics as Philosophy, international contributors address two questions: Which philosophical insights, concepts, and tools can shed light on the graphic novel? And how can the graphic novel cast light on the concerns of philosophy? Each contributor ponders a well-known graphic novel to illuminate ways in which philosophy can untangle particular combinations of image and written word for deeper understanding. Jeff McLaughlin collects a range of essays to examine notable graphic novels within the framework posited by these two questions. One essay discusses how a philosopher discovered that the panels in Jeff Lemire's Essex County do not just replicate a philosophical argument, but they actually give evidence to an argument that could not have existed otherwise. Another essay reveals how Chris Ware's manipulation of the medium demonstrates an important sense of time and experience. Still another describes why Maus tends to be more profound than later works that address the Holocaust because of, not in spite of, the fact that the characters are cartoon animals rather than human. Other works contemplated include Will Eisner's A Contract with God, Alan Moore and David Lloyd's V for Vendetta, Alison Bechdel's Fun Home, and Joe Sacco's Footnotes in Gaza. Mainly, each essay, contributor, graphic novelist, and artist are all doing the same thing: trying to tell us how the world is--at least from their point of view."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Graphic novels $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Philosophy in literature. 650 7 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869145 650 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00946656 650 7 $a Literature $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000005 650 7 $a Philosophy in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060836 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a McLaughlin, Jeff, $d 1962- $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Graphic novels as philosophy $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, [2017] $z 9781496813282 $w (DLC) 2017032011 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710080450.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=91395500033911E8972C924897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
