This Week in Graphic Medicine 11/10/18 – 11/23/18

This Week in Graphic Medicine in a Stranger Things Stylized Font
‘This Week in Graphic Medicine’ highlights relevant articles (and tweets) about comics in medicine published during the week (Saturday – Friday). Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary, with credit given to those who flagged them up where possible. So without further ado…


Note: This week’s post comprises the period of 11/10/18 to 11/20/18 due to the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States. The remaining part of the 11/23 week will appear in the 11/30 posting. 


Special Dedication…

RIP Stan Lee


Matthew’s Pick of the Week…

I’ve not done this so far, but this week’s pick is a Call for Papers I am particularly excited about: Invisible Made Visible: Comics and Mental Illness, to be edited by Leah Misemer & Jessica Gross! What makes me so excited about this volume is that they are purposely seeking not only scholarly essays, but original comics and course designs as well. This is a route that I wish ALL graphic medicine scholarly collections will take in the future: walk-the-walk so to speak, but also sharing pedagogical ideas freely so that all may benefit.

You can find the full call at the link above, but I will repost their suggested topics for exploration below:

  • The affordances the visual vocabulary of comics provides for representing internal mental states
  • How comics reinforce, question, or break stigmas surrounding mental illness
  • How comics have been, or can be, catalysts for discussions, online or in person, about mental illness
  • The history of mental illness in various genres (e.g. superheroes, memoir)
  • How depictions of mental illness have led to formal innovation
  • How both patients and caregivers can use comics as part of treatment in both medical and non-medical contexts
  • How comics trouble the boundaries between those who care for those who are mentally ill, and those who are mentally ill themselves
  • How other forms of identity (e.g. race, gender, religion, language) impact experience and treatment of mental illness
  • How comics negotiate the intersections of visibility and mental illness in different cultures
  • How comics question and reflect culturally and historically constructed definitions of mental illness
  • How comics about mental illness can be taught or drawn in undergraduate or graduate classes, or as part of medical training

Please contact Leah or Jessica with any questions and do please consider submitting an abstract – due January 28th, 2019!
