Description

The Other Kind of Funnies refutes the mainstream American cultural assumption that comics have little to do with technical communication-that the former are entertaining (in a low-brow sense) and juvenile, whereas the latter is practical and serious (to the point of stuffiness). The first of its kind, this book demonstrates the exciting possibilities of using comics in technical communication. It defines comics as a medium and art form that includes cartoons, comic strips, comic books, and graphic novels; provides conceptual and historical backgrounds on comics; and discusses the appeals and challenges of using comics-style technical communication. More specifically, it examines comics-style instructions, educational materials, health/risk communication, and political/propaganda communication. The author argues that comics-style technical communication encourages reader participation, produces covert persuasion, facilitates intercultural communication, benefits underprivileged audiences such as children and readers of lower literacy, and challenges the positivist view of technical communication. An abundance of comics-style technical communication examples, carefully selected from across cultures and times, demonstrates the argument. While the book proposes that comics can create user-friendly, visually oriented, engaging, and socially responsible technical communication, it is also quick to acknowledge the limitations and challenges of comics-style technical communication and provides heuristics on how to cope with them. The Other Kind of Funnies is unique in its interdisciplinary approach. It focuses on technical communication but speaks to design, cultural and intercultural studies, historical studies, and to some extent, education, politics, and art. About the Author Han Yu is an associate professor of technical communication in the English Department at Kansas State University, USA. Her research focuses on visual communication, intercultural technical communication, technical communication in China, and writing assessment/training. She has published many articles on these topics in leading journals in the field, including Technical Communication Quarterly, IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication, Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, Journal of Business and Technical Communication, Programmatic Perspectives, Technical Communication, and Business Communication Quarterly. Her article Putting China’s Technical Communication into Historical Context: A Look at the Chinese Culinary Instruction Genre, published in Technical Communication, won the 2009 Frank R. Smith Outstanding Journal Article Award. Han Yu also edited the collection (with Dr. Gerald Savage) Negotiating Cultural Encounters: Narrating Intercultural Engineering and Technical Communication (IEEE/Wiley, 2012).
