Calenda Announcement 1,412,953 (excerpts)
This issue ofComicalités explores the ways in which comics contribute to the public and collective process of coming to terms with memories and legacies. We also aim to examine how comics participate in the public process of appropriating the past and to question how cultural institutions utilize comics. More broadly, the aim is to examine how history is perceived, constructed, and transmitted when it does not directly involve the participation of a professional historian—or when such a historian plays only a consulting role. Would it be possible to take citizen engagement and writing a step further, drawing inspiration from certain public history projects?
