Comics and Graphic Narratives on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoHi Amanda — I’ve got an article on a graphic narrative about to appear in a collection, and I had to get copyright permissions from all the publishers involved (i.e. Canadian, US, and British publishers); perhaps check with the anthology’s editors — perhaps you’ll get lucky, and they will look after getting copyright permissions for you!?

Comics and Graphic Narratives on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoHi, Amanda,
I don’t know if this helps, but I recently wrote an essay about comics for publication, and I had to get permission to use them. I got lucky because one of them was creator-owned, so I could just contact her through Twitter, but the other was owned by Dynamite Comics and was unsuccessful in contacting them.
This was for the journal…[Read more]

Comics and Graphic Narratives on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoHi everyone,
I wrote an essay about a specific comic book and the essay is going to be published in an anthology. My question is about reproducing images from the comic in the anthology. I am, of course, citing the comic and the images in the essay, so is there any issue with using images from the comic in the anthology? It would be much more…[Read more]

Alexandra Berlina started the topic A fantastic play? in the forum
Science Fiction and Utopian and Fantastic Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoDear all,
could you perhaps suggest a play that could be seen as fantastic in Todorov’s sense? (Yes, I know he didn’t want to include anyting but prose, but even Hamlet has its moments — the ghost is too clearly present on stage to be truly “fantastic” in the sense of ambiguous, though…)
Thank you!

Science Fiction and Utopian and Fantastic Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 9 months agoI don’t know as much about Latin American fantastic literature as I’d like, so I’m very interested in what you had to say, Silvia. In general, it always strikes me as odd how conservative academics can be. And in a broader sense, the whole concept of “legitimate” is troublesome because of the power issues underlying who decides what is and is not,…[Read more]

Silvia G. Kurlat-Ares replied to the topic Science Fiction Readers Demographics in the forum
Science Fiction and Utopian and Fantastic Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 9 months agoI will agree with Josh. However, for Latin America, there is an additional twist. The raise of the fantastic since the mid 1940s until it became the paramount literary “authentic” (for lack of better, quick words) literary form, displaced any other literary form from the center of the cultural field. Debates between realist and fantastic…[Read more]
