Abstract:

This seminar focuses on the symbolic representation of disability in the contemporary generation of graphic memoirs. These, such as Calling Dr. Laura (2013), by Nicole Georges, Fun Home (2006), by Alison Bechdel, Tangles(2012), by Sarah Leavitt, Epileptic(2005), by David B., and Bitter Medicine(2010), by Clem Martini and Olivier Martini, I call “graphic body memoirs.” In order to grasp the complexities of such a unique genre, I propose an interdisciplinary theoretical articulation of the fields of Disability Studies, Autobiography Studies, and Comics Studies. Focusing on how the subjects of these narratives are constructed through the tension between visual and textual narratives of the graphic body memoir allows for a number of possibilities of embodiment, both literally and symbolically.
