Graphic Medicine: Comics as Medical Narrative

Aug. 27, 2012 by Comic Nurse Leave a Comment

By Ian Williams Medical Humanities, January 25, 2012 full text requires log in Abstract: Among the growing number of works of graphic fiction, a number of titles dealing directly with the patient experience of illness or caring for others with an illness are to be found. Thanks in part to the Medical Humanities movement, many medical schools now encourage the reading of classic literature to gain insight into the human condition. Until recently, the medium of comics (the term is used in the plural to refer to both the physical objects and the attendant philosophy and practice surrounding them) has received little… Read More

Autography as Autotherapy: Psychic Pain and the Graphic Memoir

Aug. 17, 2012 by Comic Nurse Leave a Comment

No Life Lessons Here: Comics, Autism, and Empathetic Scholarship

Aug. 17, 2012 by Comic Nurse Leave a Comment

No Life Lessons Here: Comics, Autism, and Empathetic Scholarship Sara Birge, Pennsylvania State University Disability Studies Quarterly Abstract: Comics, a relatively understudied medium for representations of disability, have enormous potential for providing important critical perspectives in disability studies. This article examines two recent comics that portray individuals with autism: The Ride Together by Paul and Judy Karasik and Circling Normal, a compilation of the comic strip Clear Blue Water by Karen Montague-Reyes. I argue that these comics’ unique narrative geometries make them ideally suited for depicting cognitive disabilities in the nuanced context of embodied life. Through their reworking of stereotypes and their unique portrayals of autism, Circling… Read More
