Drawing-Writing-Up: En undersøgelse af udfordringer og potentialer ved etnografiske tegneserier
(2021) SANK02 20211Social Anthropology
- Abstract (Danish)
- Denne opgave undersøger de mulige potentialer og udfordringer ved etnografiske tegneserier i formidlingen af antropologisk viden. Dette undersøges gennem en analyse af to antropologiske tegneserie-projekter, henholdsvis Lissa: A Story about Medical Promise, Friendship and Re- volution (Hamdy & Nye 2017) og Gringo Love: Stories about Sex Tourism in Brazil (Carrier- Moisan 2020). Begge indgår i Toronto University Press’ ‘EthnoGRAPHIC’ serie, og er baseret på antropologers tidligere skrevne research, som herefter i et samarbejde med tegnere er omformet til tegneseriemediet. De to projekters tilgang til adaptation adskiller sig dog på måder, der rejser spørgsmål angående ‘sandhed’ og fiktion i antropologi. Derfor indsætter denne opgave drawing... (More)

De to projekters tilgang til adaptation adskiller sig dog på måder, der rejser spørgsmål angående ‘sandhed’ og fiktion i antropologi. Derfor indsætter denne opgave drawing i writing-up, og undersøger valg og fravalg i adaptationen fra research til komposition af det færdige produkt. I opgaven argumenterer jeg for, at tegneseriers unikke måde at strukturere tid og rum kan give nye perspektiver på måden antropologisk viden formidles, ligesom jeg også opfordrer til en øget opmærksomhed på de områder, hvor mediet kan skabe udfordringer i en antropologisk kontekst.

- Abstract
- This thesis looks into the possible potentials and challenges of the ethnographic comic book, as a way to reflexively present anthropological knowledge and fieldwork experiences. This is explored through the analysis of two anthropological graphic novel projects, Lissa: A Story about Medical Promise, Friendship and Revolution (2017) and Gringo Love: Stories about Sex Tourism in Brazil (2020). Both are a part of the Toronto University Press ‘EthnoGRAPHIC’ series, and are based on earlier written research, as well as collaborations between anthropologists and comic book artists. However, the two projects differing approach to adaptation, raises questions about the nature of ‘truth’ and fiction in anthropology. Therefore, this thesis will... (More)

However, the two projects differing approach to adaptation, raises questions about the nature of ‘truth’ and fiction in anthropology. Therefore, this thesis will insert drawing in the process of writing up, exploring the choices inherent in the adaptation from research to the composition of the final product. While urging for an awareness of the ways the medium can pose challenges in an anthropological context, I propose that its unique way of structuring time and space, can give new insights and perspectives on ways of disseminating anthropological knowledge and experience.
