(apologies for cross posting)
In this first of two issues of the Journal of Illustration exploring the speculative concept of ‘Transitus’, we look at illustration as material crossing ground, opening up the stakes of retaining a physical, tangible element in illustrative acts of ‘crossing over’. If illustration by definition always comprises the relational dynamics of the interplay between signifiers, what does the investment in materiality offer to the acts of ‘crossing over’? In the face of transitory stories and identities, how does illustration act as a referential mode which connects to authenticity and reality, despite its status as a system of signs?
The selected essays, most of which were presented at the Falmouth University ‘Transitus’ online symposium July 14-15, 2022, all engage with material pathways of the trans-, particularly pathways of photography, physical trace, and touch. Contributors are:
