Comic Theory Video

Post by Neil Cohn »

I'm excited to say that my entire talk from the Visual and Iconic Languages Conference has now been posted online! I've embedded the video on my site.

I highly recommend watching it to anyone interested in my theories about comics. The first part covers what I mean by "visual language," while most of the talk discusses my theories of visual grammar — how sequences of images create meaning — including my arguments against panel transitions and the proposal of my alternative model. While some of these ideas are written about in my book, Early Writings on Visual Language, most of this work won't be published online for quite some time. So, if you're interested in this sort of thing, this is your best chance to learn about it.

As always, I welcome any and all feedback you might have. Thanks, and enjoy!

your comprehensive research has lead me to a research project of my own. I joined this forum specifically to tell you that your work is interesting and informative, not that I'm trying to Kiss the sphere of removal (I thought that would be a fun way of saying it.)
Note (I accidentally also posted this on the board lol)
