Der Artikel gibt einen Überblick über die unterschiedlichen Sammlungsbestände von Comics, Graphic Novels und Manga in wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken in Deutschland. Im weiteren Verlauf wird ein Schwerpunkt auf die Herausforderungen und Probleme in Bezug auf Bestandsaufbau, Erschließung, Archivierung bzw. Verfügbarmachung sowie Findmittel gelegt.
The Greenlandic oral story-telling tradition, Oqaluttuaq, meaning “history,” “legend,” and “narrative,” is recognized as an important entry point into Arctic collective memory. The graphic artist Nuka K. Godtfredsen and his literary and scientific collaborators have used the term as the title of graphic narratives published from 2009 to 2018, and focused on four moments or ‘snippets’ from Greenland’s history (from the periods of Saqqaq, late Dorset, Norse settlement, and European colonization). Adopting a fragmentary and episodic approach to historical narrativization, the texts frame the modern European presence in Greenland as one of multiple migrations to and settlements in the Artic, rather than its central axis. We argue that, in consequence, the Oqaluttuaq narratives not only “provincialize” the tradition of hyperborean colonial memories, but also provide a postcolonial mnemonic construction of Greenland as a place of multiple histories, plural peoples, and heterogenous temporalities. As such, the books also narrativize loss and disappearance—of people, cultures, and environments—as a distinctive melancholic strand in Greenlandic history. Informed by approaches in the field of cultural memory and in the study memorial objects, Marks’ haptic visuality and Keenan and Weizman’s forensic aesthetics, we analyze the graphic narratives of Oqaluttuaq in regard to their aesthetic dimensions, as well as investigate the role of material objects and artifacts, which work as narrative “props” for multiple stories of encounter and survival in the Arctic.

Carson Ellis’ Bilderbuch "Du Iz Tak?" (2016) stellt eine besondere Herausforderung der Bilderbuchübersetzung dar, da der Schrifttext ausschließlich in einer fiktiven Sprache verfasst ist. Eine Übersetzung erscheint damit zwar auf den ersten Blick überflüssig. Eine nähere Untersuchung des Ausgangstextes legt jedoch vielfaltige intermodale, inter- und intralinguale Bezuge frei, die einerseits ein Feld der Polyvalenz entfalten und die Übersetzung erschweren, andererseits eine Übersetzung unumgänglich machen.
If They Only Knew : die Doppelidentität maskierter Superhelden zwischen Täuschung und Authentizität
(2019)
Zahlreiche Superheldenfiguren sind dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sie nicht nur über Superkräfte verfügen, sondern auch eine Doppelidentität besitzen: In der äußerlich durch eine Maske sichtbar gemachten Heldenidentität vollbringen sie öffentlich Heldentaten, in der zivilen Identität dagegen verbergen sie ihre Kräfte und verschweigen ihrem Umfeld ihr Heldentum. Solche Figuren lassen sich als maskierte Helden und Heldinnen beschreiben; die Maskerade bzw. das Geheimnis um die Doppelidentität ist eine Grundlage ihres Heldentums.
