USW Cardiff: Comics Symposium 2018, Call For Papers

In association with Cardiff Indie Comics Expo.


The First USW Cardiff: Comics Symposium is interested in creator’s 
perspectives. It will explore comics and creativity and papers are 
invited which examine the practice of creating comics, and the 
particulars of storytelling in comics.

Does changing a panel, change the story? How might a medium’s 
materiality affect its construction and reception? Pudovkin stated that 
“In order to write a scenario suitable for filming, one must know the 
methods by which the spectator can be influenced from the screen.” 
(Pudovkin 2007: 1), and referring to adaption Weaver suggests this is, 
“the act of translating a story from one medium to another. To do so, 
you must be cognizant of the needs and storytelling techniques of each 
medium.” (Weaver 2012: 83). This symposium addresses these needs from 
the point of view of the creators involved in the production and 
creation of comics.

Papers are invited to discuss:

·        Storytelling through comics
·        Creating comics
·        Comic form and Comics content
·        Scriptwriting for comics
·        Words to Image

·        Analogue and digital forms
·        Comics and Transmedia
·        Practice as Research
·        Teaching through Comics
·        Pedagogy and Comics
