Conjuring Phantoms: A Comparative Study of Trauma in Comics

This project aims to analyze representations of individual and collective trauma in comics through a comparative, cross-cultural study. Theories of the implications of comics styles and their interaction with other media are combined with studies on the representation of trauma in private and collective contexts for bringing out the distinctive ways in which comics convey trauma and foster engagement.
