Reframing the Perpetrator in Contemporary Comics - Drago¿ Manea - Bog

Bag om Reframing the Perpetrator in Contemporary Comics

This book foregrounds the figure of the perpetrator in a selection of British, American, and Canadian comics and explores questions related to remembrance, justice, and historical debt. Its primary focus is on works that deliberately estrange the figure of the perpetrator¿through fantasy, absurdism, formal ambiguity, or provocative rewriting¿and thus allow readers to engage anew with the history of genocide, mass murder, and sexual violence. This book is particularly interested in the ethical space such an engagement calls into being: in its ability to allow us to ponder the privilege many of us now enjoy, the gross historical injustices that have secured it, and the debt we owe to people long dead.
