Call for Papers: Special Issue of the Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies

  • Pinterest

Special Issue: Cripping Graphic Medicine: Approaching Comics from a Disability Studies Perspective Guest Editors: Gesine Wegner (Leipzig University) and Dorothee Marx (Kiel University) At first glance, a wider public may find the connection between comics and disability rather counterintuitive, as Rosemarie Garland-Thomson remarks: “Most of us assume that comics and disability exist in two completely different worlds. […] Comics are light; disability is heavy. Comics are inviting; disability is forbidding. Comics are cheerful; disability is dismal” (Garland-Thomson 2016: x). Yet, as a growing amount of scholarship in recent years has shown (Squier and Krüger-Fürhoff 2020; Foss et al. 2016), explorations… Read More

Our September, 2020 Drawing Together session was hosted by doctor and comic artist Ian Williams. Ian is the creator of The Bad Doctor, The Lady Doctor. Ian recently received an Arts Council grant to complete his trilogy with the book, The Sick Doctor. Ian also is the founder of this website and coined the term ‘graphic medicine’. Ian said: “Sometimes, particularly now as most news seems like bad news, it is good to focus on the Small Pleasures of Life. This session is inspired by Philippe Delerme’s book of that name, which I bought in the ’90s and which has often inspired… Read More

“The Most Costly Journey (El viaje más caro)” is an ethnographic cartooning project that employs collaborative storytelling as a tool to mitigate loneliness, isolation, and despair among Latin American migrant workers on Vermont dairy farms. The collected comics are now available for pre-order in an English language edition via the group’s Kickstarter (through 9 November 2020). The following is excerpted from the book’s preface by Julia Doucet (RN, Open Door Clinic), which describes the project’s genesis in her patients’ undiagnosed symptoms… I first met José Luis in 2017 when he came for an appointment at the Open Door Clinic in… Read More

My name is Joanna Conings and I am currently an international student from Belgium studying at Creighton University in the hope of obtaining my Master in English on the creative writing track. Since I arrived in the US I have been introduced to a complete new health care system which has been very difficult to navigate. I fell sick multiple times but had no american insurance. Thus, I discovered what it meant to be sick in the US when you are an immigrant. Last semester, I had a class named ‘The Rhetoric of Medicine’ led by Dr. Joshua Prenosil. We… Read More

Find Stephanie’s full Pain Dairies comic here. “Pain Diaries” is a comic describing my experience with endometriosis as well as the fears, frustrations, and suffering that comes with having chronic pain. Endometriosis is a disorder where the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus, causing severe pain and a myriad of other serious health issues. From age 12 (when I first got my period) to age 29, I lived without a label for my suffering. Experiencing daily chronic pain without a diagnosis felt like I was existing in a large empty body of water, constantly drowning but never dying. Living with a… Read More

We live in turbulent times. Graphic Medicine’s Drawing Together meetups, at first weekly and now monthly, have been a helpful community of practice as we navigate these waters. The following comic started as a rough, raw journal entry and a one-page comic at one of those meetups. Thank you for creating such a powerful space. Many thanks to critiquers and sensitivity readers. Creating this comic was hard, fulfilling and I wish such vivid examples did not come from too many cruel, personal stories. I hope it adds to the conversation, I hope you share it or use it as ammunition… Read More

Spotlight post by James Sturm, Director and Cofounder of The Center for Cartoon Studies As director of The Center for Cartoon Studies (CCS), I had worked on putting together a graphic guide about democracy and governance. The book circulated widely and Stark County Mental Health & Addiction Recovery (StarkMHAR), a team responsible for engaging and educating middle school students, came across it and reached out to see if CCS would be interested in creating a graphic guide to mental health.  These projects seem to happen when the right opportunity meets the right cartoonist at the right time. When this opportunity… Read More
