Description

What exactly are comics? Can they be art, literature, or even pornography? How should we understand the characters, stories, and genres that shape them?Thinking about comics raises a bewildering range of questions about representation, narrative, and value. Philosophy of Comics is an introduction to these philosophical questions. In exploring the history and variety of the comics medium, Sam Cowling and Wesley D. Cray chart a path through the emerging field of the philosophy of comics.Drawing from a diverse range of forms and genres and informed by case studies of classic comics such as Watchmen, Tales from the Crypt, and Fun Home, Cowling and Cray explore ethical, aesthetic, and ontological puzzles, including: - What does it take to create―or destroy―a fictional character like Superman?- Can all comics be adapted into films, or are some comics impossible to adapt?- Is there really a genre of “superhero comics”?- When are comics obscene, pornographic, and why does it matter? At a time of rapidly growing interest in graphic storytelling, this is an ideal introduction to the philosophy of comics and some of its most central and puzzling questions. Review Sam Cowling and Wesley Cray offer a delightful examination of the field of the philosophy of comics, in addition to a comprehensive critical history of the medium. Given its capacious scope and accessible tone, I know I will use Philosophy of Comics: An Introduction in my classroom for years to come. --Joanna Davis-McElligatt, Assistant Professor of Black Literary and Cultural Studies, University of North Texas, USAWith the methodological patience and precision that their multi-faceted subject demands, Cowling and Cray provide the comics medium with its most thoroughly philosophical analysis to date. --Chris Gavaler, Associate Professor of English, Washington and Lee University, USACowling and Cray offer up the deepest, most comprehensive discussion of the philosophy of comics I have ever read. Well-structured and well-flowing, this book moves from general debates about what comics are to key―and utterly fascinating―questions of a metaphysical, epistemological, social, and aesthetic nature. I can’t recommend this book high enough for those serious about comics. --Adam Barkman, Professor of Philosophy, Redeemer University, Canada About the Author Sam Cowling is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Denison University, USA. Wesley D. Cray is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Texas Christian University, USA.
