Dokumentarische Comics als Übersetzung des Alltäglichen

Author(s): Muanis, Felipe

Abstract

This text explores the idea and the development of documental comics since the 1960s. In this era Muanis observes the rise of the journalistic comic as a new genre, taking references from modern documentary cinema. A crucial aspect of these comics is the (comic-)author picturing himself as a character in his own narrative. Until today the connection between author, cinematic techniques, journalism and comic language creates a genre of its own that can be described as «comic-vérité». Through different examples of famous comic-authors Muanis analyses forms of a new documentary language in comics and their function as translator of urban space and everyday life.
