This article explores the challenges of representing individual and collective memories in art, drawing from the experiences of Eastern European artists and researchers: Dragana Radanović, a comics artist from Serbia, and Olga Lucovnicova, a documentary filmmaker from Moldova. The article integrates key theories and scholarly insights on collective memory and art. The study addressed the lack of artistic practice research on the representation of collective memory using a qualitative approach that includes semistructured interviews and analysis of the researchers' experiences and the artistic creation process. It examines the nuances of bridging cultural disparities, contextualizing personal experiences within collective memory, and navigating the complexities of representing sensitive historical contexts. Additionally, it uncovers how the geopolitical landscape and historical events in Moldova and Serbia have influenced the formation of collective memories, revealing the challenges and conflicts within these societies' historical narratives. By exploring these intricacies, the article enhances our understanding of artistic creation processes and contributes to the broader discussion on portraying collective memory in artistic mediums.

15. Refiguring comic book imagery in a post-digital moment: conspicuousness, hybridity and ontological strangeness.

COMIC book artists , *ARTISTS' books , *AESTHETICS - Abstract
While today's mainstream comic books confront us with the replacement of hand-created images with computer-driven techniques and styles, the aesthetic dimension of the use of digital tools in the creation of comic art has received limited critical attention. This article addresses this lack by reflecting on a tension between conspicuous uses of computer colouring and hand-colouring. Furthermore, I discuss a hybridity that relativises distinctions between 'digital' and 'traditional' comic book art. Drawing upon the writings on media scholars Lev Manovich and D.N. Rodowick and examples from works associated with comics auteur Frank Miller, I argue that digital tools have augmented comics creation with new properties. Furthermore, I propose that these properties test our confidence in knowing what these images 'are' from an ontological perspective. The analysis is set against the backdrop of how thinking in terms of 'digital' versus 'analogue' has become secondary in a present post-digital moment. I conclude by suggesting that we need to move the discussion beyond the 'newness' of the digital to build a better understanding of the ontological uncertainties and the genealogies surrounding digitally created comic book imagery.

Transmedia practices in the Japanese cultural industry are frequent, following a model called media mix. Here I present a particular case of transmediality by following the relationship between josei manga (comics aimed at adult women) and live-action cinema, through two works by comic artist Okazaki Kyōko: Helter Skelter, adapted to film by Ninagawa Mika in 2012, and River’s Edge, adapted by Yukisada Isao in 2018. In order to understand, on the one hand, how Okazaki’s portrayal of young women distances itself from shōjo manga (comics aimed at school-age girls) and, on the other hand, the scope of the adaptations and the ways in which they amplify Okazaki’s critical discourse, in contrast to more commercial manga adaptations, I would like to highlight the intertextual and intermedial aspects of these comics and films.

CLIMATE change ,COMIC book artists ,LITERARY form ,GLOBAL warming ,FICTION - Abstract
Our planet is currently experiencing a climate crisis due to global warming. Scientists have begun to sound the alarm about this phenomenon, which will have disastrous consequences at every level. Literature is also affected by this phenomenon. As a result, we are witnessing an influx of literary works of all kinds with the aim of warning people of the dangers of this phenomenon and explaining its causes and impacts. And comics are no exception. In a hugely successful comic book, not only in France but worldwide, comic book artist Christophe Blain teams up with engineer Jean-Marc Jancovici to create Le Monde sans fin, the best-selling book of 2022 in France, which has been translated into numerous languages. The book has provoked controversy, especially in the scientific field. Is it a scientific documentary or a work of literary fiction? Are comics considered a literary genre, or are they simply a form of entertainment for young readers? Le Monde sans fin, with its important themes, offers a new perspective on the issue of global warming. This perspective is both original and perhaps more accessible to the public, while being rich in scientific, historical, economic information and philosophical thoughts. This paper aims to examine the place of comics in contemporary literature, and the important themes addressed by this literary genre, such as global warming. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

As a result of the economic and political upheavals at the end of the 1980s, the Polish comic market in 1990s was dominated by foreign publishers (TM-Semic and Egmont), who concentrated on American comic series and Francophone albums. This situation made it very difficult for young local comic artists to make their debut. Underground zines became not only a place for their unbridled creativity, but also an appropriate medium for a new generation of artists who were fighting for freedom of expression before the abolition of censorship in April 1990. Over the next decade, due to the photocopy aesthetic and the influences of American comix, they also became a tool for testing the boundaries of visual and textual narration. In addition, the third circle press enabled the next generation of artists to find their niches on the market and steer Polish comic culture in a transnational direction. Nowadays, Polish punk and post-punk comic zines are fascinating documents of the rapid cultural change in Poland and the development of local comic aesthetics and subjects, pointing to the problems of youth and the transformed society of the 1990s in a subversive and creative way.

But he misses the cosmic camp quality and general trippiness of Marvel's comics and how they were adjusting to the prevailing anti-war, pro-civil-rights sentiments of its student fan base, including an African American superhero with the Black Panther. The Fantastic Four and the characters that followed, like Spider-Man and the Hulk, revived the 1940s superhero, but with a difference: Marvel's superheroes lived in an approximation of the real world and exhibited quasi-naturalistic psychologies. By the late 1990s, in fact, superheroes appeared to be taking over the movies: As in the middle decades of the 20th century, our new superhero spectacles became the mask we wear in front of the mirror, but also in front of the rest of the world. Superheroes were now passé: "After Hiroshima and Nagasaki", Hirsch notes, "it was no longer so simple to pull readers into a system populated by kind heroes, accommodating police officers, and right-thinking governments.".

Nehemiah Cisneros is an artist based in Los Angeles who creates paintings that combine elements of European Renaissance and Baroque compositions with graphic aesthetics from skateboard graphics, graffiti, and underground comics. He describes his work as "vandalizing art history" and refers to it as "ghetto mythologies." Cisneros incorporates figures from Indian, Tibetan, and Greek mythology, as well as biomechanical extraterrestrials, into his paintings set in familiar streets of Los Angeles. His work explores the intersection of built infrastructure, memory, and ideology. Cisneros draws inspiration from his childhood spent in his mother's vintage store and his love for comic books, toys, and cartoons. He aims to challenge the perception of Black men and their interests, which are often overlooked or marginalized. Cisneros' paintings also address historical and social issues, such as the Rodney King uprising and the erasure of Black history. His work reimagines and recontextualizes European Masters' compositions to shed light on the legacy of slavery and colonialism. Through his art, Cisneros aims to create a new form of history that incorporates personal experiences, family traditions, and collective memory. [Extracted from the article] more...

This article is a review of the book "Visions and revisions in Sanskrit narrative: Studies in the Sanskrit epics and Purāṇas" edited by Raj Balkaran and McComas Taylor. The book is a collaboration of eighteen scholars specializing in the Sanskrit epics and purāṇas, and it is divided into three parts focusing on the Mahābhārata, the Rāmāyaṇa, and the purāṇas. Each chapter analyzes different aspects of the narratives, such as framing devices, character studies, and moral themes. The book is available for free in various digital formats. The review points out some shortcomings of the book, including the lack of uniform editorial principles and errors in Sanskrit quotations. The reviewer also criticizes the editors for perpetuating a divide between different types of scholars in the field. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer appreciates the editors' vision but believes that better editorial work and revisions would have improved the quality of the book.

The 1950s marked the emergence of Malay comic books in Singapore, with titles like "Tungga dan Piring Terbang" and "Helang Hitam" gaining popularity. These comics addressed themes of independence and anti-colonialism, critiquing Western norms and culture. Notable figures like Abdul Jalil Haji Nor and Nas Achnas, who were talented Malay writers and artists, were attracted to this new art form. The first Malay comic book, "Pusaka Datuk Moyang," was published in 1952, paving the way for future Malay comic books in Singapore. This text focuses on Nas Achnas and Geliga Press's involvement in the publishing of Malay comic books. Nas Achnas, primarily known as a filmmaker, contributed to publishing through his work in magazines and the creation of the comic series Tunggadewa. Geliga Press, founded by Syed Omar Abdul Rahman Alsagoff, published novels, storybooks, and magazines, and later ventured into comic book publishing. Geliga Press collaborated with various artists and writers, including Raja Hamzah and Nora Abdullah. The press played a significant role in the Malay comic book industry until its closure in the early 1960s. [Extracted from the article] more...

"Cairn" is a climbing simulation game developed by French studio The Game Bakers. The game aims to improve upon previous climbing games by focusing on the physicality and satisfaction of climbing. Players control the protagonist, Aava, as she attempts to climb mountains, relying on her breathing and muscle strain rather than stamina bars and painted ledges. The game features intuitive controls and visually stunning environments designed by comic artist Mathieu Bablet. Players must also manage Aava's needs, resources, and navigate adverse weather conditions. Despite some frustrations, "Cairn" offers a compelling and visually striking climbing experience.

"Becoming Ezra Jack Keats" by Virginia McGee Butler is the first biography of the author and illustrator written for adult readers. The book focuses on Keats's life before the publication of his famous work, "The Snowy Day," and explores his struggles with ethnic injustice, poverty, and his own physical health. Butler also delves into Keats's artistic process, his collaborations with other authors and artists, and his contributions to popular children's shows like Sesame Street and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. While the book provides valuable biographical information, it lacks scholarly context and analysis of Keats's work. Overall, "Becoming Ezra Jack Keats" offers an accessible and sentimental depiction of the beloved children's book writer, making it a worthwhile read for fans and a starting point for further research.
