"Minor art" and major issues
Sunday, February 5, 2017 at 4:30 PM
Sir Arthur Benton tome 2: Wannsee, 1942, by Stéphane Perger (cartoonist) and Tarek (scriptwriter), 2005, private collection of Tarek.
Since the 1960s, comics have gained significant recognition among institutions, both museums and academic. Yet it has long been classified in the category of "bad genres", like science fiction and thrillers. How did the comic strip pass from the status of "popular" if not "vulgar" literature to that of 9th art? Did she have to go through this so that the Holocaust could be addressed in her pages?
In the presence of Jean-Paul Gabilliet, professor at Bordeaux-Montaigne University, Jean-Pierre Mercier, historian and scientific advisor to the Cité internationale de la bande dessinée et de l'image, and Didier Pasamonik, exhibition curator.
Hosted by Jérôme Dupuis, journalist at L'Express.
