Накратко на български

Съвременните гръцки комикси и графични романи се анализират като средство за социална критика и изразяване на идентичността. Това помага да се разбере как популярната култура оформя представата ни за националната принадлежност и миналото.

Recollected: History, Memory and Imagination in Contemporary Greek Comics and Graphic Novels

Approaching Greek graphic novels as a site for both artistic innovation and social critique, ReCOLLECTED shed light on ways in which comics can inform our views on present-day cultural landscapes and engage with broader social issues pertaining to the role of popular culture and cultural heritage in shaping identity and redrawing the boundaries of national belonging. The aim of the project was two-fold. Firstly, it aimed to assess what led to the boom of comics in the Greek cultural field over the past decade and identify shared patterns and characteristics of these comics. Secondly, the project then used this data to propose categories and conceptual tools that comics can offer for cultivating alternative visions on both past and present. In order to reach these aims, ReCOLLECTED combined insights gained through ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with close-readings of specific cultural texts. The project’s communication and dissemination activities engaged the scientific community, comics artists, research MA and PhD students as well as non-specialist audiences, in order to integrate their perspectives into the R&I agenda and ensure that the project’s results are relevant and accessible to wide range of stakeholders. Over the period of two years, ReCOLLECTED resulted in a number of scientific and non-specialist publications, including individual articles and edited collections, establishment of a research group and development of two international collaborations that will last beyond the duration of the project.

Цел на проекта

Approaching Greek graphic novels as a site for both artistic innovation and social critique, ReCOLLECTED sheds light on ways in which comics can inform our views on present-day cultural landscapes and engage with broader social issues pertaining to the role of popular culture and cultural heritage in shaping identity and redrawing the boundaries of national belonging. The aim of the project is two-fold. Firstly, it aims to assess what led to the boom of comics in the Greek cultural field over the past decade and identify any shared patterns and characteristics of these comics. Secondly, the project will then use this data to propose categories and conceptual tools that comics can offer for cultivating alternative visions for tackling contemporary problems.In order to reach these aims, ReCOLLECTED relies on an interdisciplinary methodology, combining tools and insights from comics studies with anthropology, cultural analysis, data visualization. The project will develop in close collaboration with comics artists themselves in order to integrate their own perspectives into the framework and in hope to spur debate in the field as well as new directions in comics practice as a result of this collaborative effort. Skills and training gained at UvA in advanced methods for combining ethnographic data and close-reading of cultural texts, conducting interviews and data visualization will ensure that the project contributes to cultural innovation within Greece as well as responds to the latest developments within the transnational field of comics studies.
