>Greetings >

>I'll be editing UP Mississippi's new collection on Hergé, the 

>internationally renowned author of great children's comics such as *Tintin*.

>

>Please consider sending something to me, and keep in mind that I'm 

>thinking as far outside the box as possible on this collection.  I've 

>got one guy proposing to study the *Tintin* films and their production 

>in Turkey, another proposing to look at architectural spaces related to 

>the institution of Hergé in the present day, and another looking at the 

>ongoing controversies surrounding the legality of parodies of *Tintin*.  

>If you want to write a paper about your favorite story arc, the 

>intersection of biography and comics, or what happens when you apply 

>your favorite theory to the comics, all of those are very welcome, but 

>if you have a very strange (and not necessarily glowing) angle to bring 

>to bear, I'm excited to hear about that, too.

>

>And as always, please do pass this CfP along to colleagues, students, 

>and mailing lists that you think might be interested.  I can also send 

>you the CfP as a doc file for you to print and post.

>*The Comics of Hergé*

>

>

>

>*The Comics of Hergé* is a proposed volume in a new book series, 

>Critical Approaches to Comics Artists, at the University Press of 

>Mississippi. This volume will contain 12-16 new critical essays on 

>Hergé, ranging from his work in advertising, illustrations for others' 

>writings, and comics to film and television adaptations of his work. 

>Essays from many disciplinary perspectives are welcome, including 

>critical approaches from comics studies, art history, cultural studies, 

>religious and ethical studies, literary studies, linguistics, history, 

>political science, gender theory, postcolonial studies, and adaptation theory.

>

>

>

>Essays (in English) might address the following questions:

>

>

>

>·         What important connections can be made between Hergé's non-comics

>work--for example, his illustrations for Léon Degrelle and his work in 

>advertising--and the work for which he became famous?

>

>·         Although analysis of Hergé's work has focused almost exclusively

>on *Tintin*, how would our understanding of his masterpiece benefit 

>from better attention to his lesser-known comics?  How has the previous 

>focus on

>*Tintin* denied important insights on these works?

>

>·         How did Hergé's growing interest in modern art change the work he

>did in comics?

>

>·         How has Hergé's *ligne claire* influenced or been challenged by

>subsequent artists, including those with whom he worked over his long 

>career?

>

>·         How do Hergé's ideas of eastern religions come through in his

>interviews and/or art?  To what extent were these ideas accurate, and 

>how do those ideas illuminate other aspects of his life and art?

>

>·         To what extent does Tintin's nationality, increasingly obscured

>over the course of the series, matter?  To what extent does his status 

>as a citizen of Brussels signify in the ongoing internal tensions of Belgium?

>

>·         Some important comics creators—such as Edgar Jacobs and Jacques

>Van Melkebeke—benefitted from and have been overshadowed by Hergé.  

>What new research can shed light on Hergé’s relationship with these 

>creators and how that relationship affected comics?

>

>·         How does Hergé obscure sexual desire in his works, and where does

>it appear despite his efforts?  Is there a difference between his 

>treatment of desire in his works for different audiences?

>

>·         What other absences does Hergé enforce in his comics, and to what

>effect?

>

>·         Numa Sadoul’s book of interviews with Hergé—interviews Hergé

>edited before they saw print—remains pivotal to the study of Hergé long 

>after its publication.  What arguments, revisions, insights, 

>expansions, or even corrections are now necessary?

>

>·         Other topics are also very welcome.

>

>

>

>            Please send a 500-word abstract along with CV and contact 

>information to Joe Sutliff Sanders at [log in to unmask] by January 1, 2014.
