Fluid Images — Fluid Text:
Comics’ Mobility Across Time, Space and Artistic Media
When:
23–24 January 2020
Where: Cardiff University (Wales, UK)
This two-day interdisciplinary conference will explore the mobility of comics and graphic novels along three axes:
time, space, and media. Mobility is understood to include all processes of transformation undergone by comics in their journey across history (time), cultural and linguistic boundaries (space), and different forms of artistic
expression (media).
These three axes of comics’ mobility are often interconnected but have so far mostly been explored in isolation and from the perspective of a single discipline or language.
The opportunities and challenges of comics’ translation into different languages, and their adaptation especially from/into narrative prose and film, have received increasing attention in recent years. Comics’ travel through time has not been explored with
the same frequency and analytical depth. Here, aspects such as the different textual and paratextual environments in anthologies and re-editions, changes to the artwork, and practices of re-drawing deserve closer attention.
Keynote speakers
Prof Jan Baetens (KU Leuven)
Prof Federico Zanettin (Universitą degli Studi di Perugia)
Panel 1: Transformation:
Comics Mobility Across Time
Panel 2: Translation:
Comics Mobility Across Space
Panel 3: Adaptation:
Comics Mobility Across Artistic Media
We welcome proposals for 20-minute papers that explore any of the dimensions of comics’ mobility outlined above. Abstracts should be no more than 300 words long (excluding
references).
Please send your abstracts (in English) to Dr Tilmann Altenberg at:

Symudedd Comics ar Draws Amser, Gofod a Chyfryngau Artistig
Pryd: 23–24 Ionawr 2020
Ble: Prifysgol Caerdydd (Cymru, DU)
Bydd y gynhadledd ryngddisgyblaethol ddeuddydd hon yn archwilio symudedd comics a nofelau graffig ar hyd tair echel: amser, gofod a'r cyfryngau. Deellir bod symudedd
yn cynnwys yr holl brosesau trawsnewid sydd wedi effeithio ar gomics yn eu taith drwy hanes (amser), ffiniau diwylliannol ac ieithyddol (gofod), a gwahanol fathau o fynegiant artistig (cyfryngau).
Mae'r tair echel hyn o symudedd comics yn aml yn rhyng-gysylltiedig ond hyd yn hyn maent wedi cael eu hastudio ar wahān ac o safbwynt un ddisgyblaeth neu iaith. Mae’r
cyfleoedd a heriau sy’n gysylltiedig ā chyfieithu comics i wahanol ieithoedd, a’u haddasu yn arbennig o / i ryddiaith naratif a ffilm, wedi cael sylw cynyddol yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Nid yw taith comics trwy amser wedi cael ei astudio mor aml nac
i’r fath ddyfnder dadansoddol. Yma, mae agweddau fel y gwahanol amgylcheddau testunol a chyd-destunol mewn detholiadau ac ail-argraffiadau, newidiadau i'r gwaith celf, ac arferion ail-arlunio yn haeddu sylw agosach.
Prif siaradwyr
Yr Athro Jan Baetens (KU Leuven)
Yr Athro Federico Zanettin (Universitą degli Studi di Perugia)
Panel 1: Trawsnewid: Symudedd Comics ar Draws Amser
Panel 2: Cyfieithiad: Symudedd Comics ar Draws Gofod
Panel 3: Addasiad: Symudedd Comics ar Draws Cyfryngau Artistig
Rydym yn croesawu cynigion ar gyfer papurau 20 munud sy’n archwilio unrhyw un o ddimensiynau symudedd comics a amlinellir uchod. Ni ddylai crynodebau fod yn fwy na 300 gair
o hyd (ac eithrio cyfeiriadau).
Anfonwch eich crynodebau (yn Saesneg) at Dr Tilmann Altenberg yn:

erbyn 30 Tachwedd 2019. Anfonir hysbysiadau erbyn 13 Rhagfyr 2019 fan bellaf.
Cefnogir y gynhadledd gan y Sefydliad Ymchwil Ieithoedd Modern (Llundain).
