Call for Submissions: Graphic Treatment – Zombies, Medicine and Comics.

Dec. 28, 2013 by Ian Williams

Sherryl Vint and Lorenzo Servitje of UC Riverside are proposing an edited volume for the graphic medicine book series from Penn State University Press, and are looking for papers. This interdisciplinary call for papers invites proposals for an edited volume on zombies in comics and graphic novels through the lens of medical discourse. Like many tropes in science fiction, the zombie crosses discursive boundaries to become a metaphor used in clinical and scientific literature.

In recent decades, Popular Culture has increasingly become the engine of social and cultural change. It also takes constitutive influence on the design of individual life concepts. Not least, popular culture is one of the most successful global culture industries. Thus, it is a representative culture with fundamental socio-political significance (see Kleiner 2012: 17). Popular Culture in its present form has emerged since the 1950 and can be understood as a social substructure which industrially produces diverse knowledge and concepts of knowledge as offers of information and entertainment. Popular Culture can be simultaneously understood as a way of communication, as… Read More

Via a retweet by Matt Madden of Drawing Words and Writing Pictures, a researcher at Tufts looking at how (and where) our brains assemble the visual language of comics. The article in Discover article, titled, “The Brain, The Charlie Brown Effect”  looks closely at sequential art with and without narrative significance. “People are able to predict what’s coming next,” Cohn says, “even if there’s no meaning to it.” The study the article is citing (full PDF courtesy of the author) is available on researcher Neil Cohn’s website. Also an earlier article (pdf full text via author’s website) where Cohen takes on Scott McCloud’s… Read More

Another story on the trauma comic, this one by National Public Radio in which the entirety of the comic can be downloaded,  is available here. I love NPR, but unfortunately, based on the headline, they have not read this great piece by Dylan Meconis on how NOT to write about comics.

Via friend of Graphic Medicine Paula Knight, a graphic study of the perceived minds of community pharmacists while working.     Error Girl, aka Hannah Family, is a third year PhD student at the University of Bath. Her research team is looking into the relationship between mental workload and medication dispensing errors. As part of their study, they are asking community pharmacists to fill out this blank brain template as a means of self-reporting what is on the pharmacist’s mind whilst working on filling scripts. This is another fascinating medical project utilizing knowing-through-drawing. I would love to see this kind of research… Read More
