In Women's Irony: Rewriting Feminist Rhetorical Histories, author Tarez Samra Graban synthesizes three decades of feminist scholarship in rhetoric, linguistics, and philosophy to present irony as a critical paradigm for feminist rhetorical historiography that is not linked to humor, lying, or intention. Using irony as a form of ideological disruption, this innovative approach allows scholars to challenge simplistic narratives of who harmed, and who was harmed, throughout rhetorical history. Thre…

Abstract This study presents a qualitative analysis on the representation of black women in comic books using a sociocultural approach to their production-release background. We study the X-Men mutant character Storm, whose path reinforces and questions the social roles these women enact. We state that the analysis of cultural assets aimed at entertainment, like comic books, helps us consider the relationship between gender and ethnicity in our society.

Superhero comics reckon with issues of corporeal control. And while they commonly deal in characters of exceptional or superhuman ability, they have also shown an increasing attention and sensitivity to diverse forms of disability, both physical and cognitive. The essays in this collection reveal how the superhero genre, in fusing fantasy with realism, provides a visual forum for engaging with issues of disability and intersectional identity (race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality) and he…

Abstract: The multifaceted Galician artist, writer and politician Alfonso Daniel Rodriguez Castelao (1886-1950) has been considered a pioneer of Galician comics, or banda desenada. This is because of his key role in the development of the medium from his early comic strips in the magazine Vida gallega [Galician life] (1909), to the cartoons that he published in the press in the 1920s and 1930s. Furthermore, Castelao has become a comics character in several graphic biographies since the end of …

This article explores feminist Orientalism and national identity in both Satrapi’s works, with the purpose of demonstrating the manners that these comics complicate and challenge binary divi…

With the objective of beginning to theorize graphic body studies, I offer here an aesthetics of graphic cancer narratives and a taxonomy of comics' aptness as a medium for the dynamic embodiment that is a shared feature of diverse cancer experiences. First, representations of people in comics are minimalist and figurai in their visual elements, a characteristic with fascinating implications for reader-text intimacy. Comics also figure the self as a visually dynamic presence that morphs from spec…

Through the previous intertextual and historical readings, this chapter developed upon how the Western comic could follow popular trends and common conventions in the genre. However, through this final portion of the chapter, it indicates how Western comics can depart from generic norms, constructing a Western space that is much more subversive than other forms of the genre. At a rhetorical level, the Western comic can allow the reader to challenge the tropes and conventions of the Western (and …
