SUMMARY:Comics and Social Conflict
DESCRIPTION:Comics have emerged as a key means of interpreting and disseminating controversial and contested histories: Chester Brown’s Louis Riel\, Keiji Nakazawa’s Barefoot Gen\, Joe Sacco’s Palestine\, and Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis are just some of the works that take definitive social and political conflict as their topic. Why has historical material become so important for comics art? What unique opportunities does comics allow for critiquing and revising dominant historical narratives? These are the questions our speakers discussed\, in relation to their own work and to the comics world in general. \nDiana Tamblyn is writing a biography of Canadian arms trader and weapons engineer Gerald Bull; Ho Che Anderson authored King\, a 3-volume biography of MLK; and Jeet Heer is a historian and a leading comics scholar.
