Establishing Relations. Photography in Wordless Comics

2015
Barbara Postema
Abstract
In the process of providing close readings of a number of silent comics, this article considers the difference between drawn images and photographic images as vehicles for narrative, traces a number of the ways in which photos are remediated in comics, and suggests various narrative functions for which photographs in wordless comics are used as stand-ins for text. Resume Axe sur la lecture detaillee de plusieurs bandes dessinees muettes, cet article s’interroge sur la difference entre images dessinees et images photographiques en tant que support d’une narration. Il discute aussi certaines formes de remediatisation de la photographie au sein de la bande dessinee. Enfin, il presente plusieurs fonctions narratives que la photographie peut assumer quand elle se substitue au texte dans une bande dessinee muette.
