[Commlist] New issue of Feminist Encounters

Feminist Comics in an International Frame

Edited by Sally R Munt, Rose Richards and Nicola Streeten

http://www.lectitopublishing.nl/feminist-encounters

“This special issue of 16 academic articles, which has been jointly 
edited by Sally R Munt, Rose Richards and comic artist Nicola Streeten, 
is focussed on exploring how comics and graphic narratives have engaged 
with feminist politics. We have brought together artists and critics 
from a range of countries to discuss and debate how artists represent 
and debate gender, with examples of comics taken from Japan, Nepal, 
India, UK, China, Mexico, Democratic Republic of theCongo, Egypt, 
Argentina, Turkey, Hong Kong, and South Africa. We are thrilled to bring 
this content to our readers; the special issue offers a snapshot of how 
international comic art can politicise gender in the twenty-first 
century. Framing our special issue on comics is an exploration of global 
comic diversity and local specificity, as each of the texts discussed 
exists in a dynamic intertextuality between the local and global 
production and consumption of popular culture.”
