Re-envisioning Time Across ImageTexts

This conference centers on the questions of time construction and perception in comics, and, more specifically, on how dominant/alternative temporalities shape imagetexts. We are especially interested in the ways in which time/temporalities are constructed across broader constellations of imagetexts, including illustrated prose, collage, visual poetry, zines, film still assemblages, scrapbooks, and experimental mixed-media works.

We invite contributions to present 20 min papers that explore notions of time, duration, memory, futurity, historicity, and seriality across different genres and formats of imagetexts.
