[Commlist] Association of comics researchers holds its first international event in Campo Grande

*Association of comics researchers holds its first international event 
in Campo Grande*

The State University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UEMS) in Campo Grande will 
host the 1st International Meeting of the Association of Researchers in 
Sequential Art (I EIASPAS) which will be held along with the VII 
National Research Forum on Sequential Art (FNPAS) between November 5th 
and 8th, 2024. The event will be attended by foreign and national 
researchers and with the participation of people linked to the Brazilian 
publishing market, as well as comic book artists.


This edition aims to promote discussions and reflections on research 
with comics, both in terms of artistic creation and art in education 
and/or scientific research.. The proposal is to discuss issues linked to 
the ninth art that involve the interrelations between languages in terms 
of artistic practices, research on comics and teaching through 
sequential art, always keeping in mind the idea of “why study comics at 
the university?” in the contemporary scenario in which art has suffered 
retaliation from different social propositions.


Submissions for the event for short courses propositions and workshops, 
as well as communications or just listeners can now be made using this 
formand the complete program will be available on September 5, 2024 on 
the websitewww.eiaspas.com.br <http://www.eiaspas.com.br/>.


At the same time, ASPAS invites the community of comics and fanzine 
producers to participate as exhibitors at Feira Suplemento, the 
association's sequential art fair, which will take place on Thursday and 
Friday, November 7th and 8th, 2024. Selected participants will not need 
to pay for the space to sell their work. The Suplemento: Comics Fair 
aims to combine research and comics practices, bringing academics closer 
to people who make comics in Brazil. Thus, a more direct dialogue is 
created, in which researchers can learn about new developments in comics 
production and comic creators can get in touch with the proposals and 
results of research on comics carried out in Brazil and internationally. 
Registration for the Suplemento: Comics Fair will be available between 
August 12th and September 13th, 2024 on this form.


ASPAS (Association of Researchers in Sequential Art) is a congregation 
of academics based in the city of Leopoldina/MG and founded in 2012, 
aiming to popularize and highlight researches carried out in Brazil and 
around the world on comic books. Another of ASPAS' efforts is to 
decentralize academic production on comics in Brazil, with members from 
all federative units in the country. From the beginning, the combination 
of these efforts has produced at least one event and one academic book 
per year related to comics research.
