{"product_id":"graphic-novels-and-comics-as-james-hodapp-9781501373411","title":"Graphic Novels and Comics as World Literature","description":"Graphic narratives are one of the world's great art forms, but graphic novels and comics from Europe and the United States dominate scholarly conversations about them. Building upon the little extant scholarship on graphic narratives from the Global South, this collection moves beyond a narrow Western approach to this quickly expanding field. By focusing on texts from the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia, these essays expand the study of graphic narratives to a global scale. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGraphic Novels and Comics as World Literature\u003c\/i\u003e is also interested in how these texts engage with, fit in with, or complicate notions of World Literature. The larger theoretical framework of World Literature is joined with the postcolonial, decolonial, Global South, and similar approaches that argue explicitly or implicitly for the viability of non-Western graphic narratives on their own terms. Ultimately, this collection explores the ways that the unique formal qualities of graphic narratives from the Global South intersect with issues facing the study of international literatures, such as translation, commodification, circulation, Orientalism, and many others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Hodapp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501373412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501373411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"James Hodapp","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44064971620607,"sku":"9781501373411","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5990590-ed6c-421f-9515-7d4945b24655.jpg?v=1685398674","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/graphic-novels-and-comics-as-james-hodapp-9781501373411","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
