Research Interests, Current Projects (Comics and Otherwise):
At the moment I am working on a doctoral thesis (in sociology) on the debates about comics in Finland in the 1950's. In the study I want to reach an understanding of the debate as historical process and in terms of social relations, but I am also focusing on the meanings of childhood and the constructions of so called cultural value (eg. 'high' and 'low') in the debates. I also think (and this is more of a research interest than a current project) that the debate about comics should be contextualized with studies on the period's comics' culture more generally, and especially the production and consumption of comic books.

None other than contributions to amateur press associations (APAs) and self published fanzines.
Teaching--Other:
I teach A' Level Media Studies (16-18) but as yet haven't been able to get comics very high on the agenda!
Research Interests, Current Projects (Comics and Otherwise):
I am in the process of putting together a small press magazine dedicated to comics and comics history, by the name of Algol. It will be available via mail order and will (hopefully) also be on the WWW as an e-zine if I get my act together. Two major projects for Algol and Demon Star Press - the small press publishing house producing it are:
· Dan Dare, a history of the many incarnations of the character from 1950 - 199? I want as many people to contact me with their memories, ideas etc on this subject,
· I am in the process of trying to find Peter Sadecky, the author of 'Octobriana and the Russian Underground'. I have a few leads and hope to be able to at least verify or discredit his claims fairly soon.
Other Comments:
I did a degree in media studies and soon found I was able to combine my interests in comics and my interests with the study of media as a whole, and spend lots of time researching comics. Its great to see the area flourishing so as an academic discipline!

Other Comments:
I am currently a library science student- finishing up June 2000. I am arranging to have the romance comics webpage up and running through August but after then I may lose it. If this happens hopefully I can find another server with cgi capabilities- in which case i will send a new address. I am glad that such a list exists!

Research Interests, Current Projects (Comics and Otherwise):
Within
the context of my graduate work, I am looking primarily at the business end
of the comic book industry: advertising, cross-media promotions, pricing,
etc. In my free time, I have been looking into the early Silver Age, and how
it was influenced by other then-popular cultural influences. I am also
researching the "levels" of comic fandom: how a 'fanboy' differs
from a 'comics scholar.'

My 75-page senior honors thesis at Cornell University's College or Arts and Science, "Comics and the Holocaust: A(n) (Auto/bio)graphical Analysis of Art Spiegelman's Maus"
Research Interests, Current Projects (Comics and Otherwise):
I live in San Mateo, California, and work for the Oracle Corporation as a technical writer. My current interests have led me to read Herriman's fantastic Krazy Kat comics and to study as much about comics history as I reasonably can without losing my mind. I may eventually return to academia; if I do I hope to commix my interest in comics with my interests in literary studies and art history. I derive particular pleasure from so-called "postmodern" art, though I have a strong affinity for the modernist movement as well--and for pretty much everything else I can soak in. I also harbor a secret desire to create my own comics and write my own fiction (I believe the two disciplines are very closely related), if there is a realistic way to make a living doing so. I hope to engage in some interesting dialogues about this underappreciated art form on this list.

Dubovacka 10, HR-10000 Zagreb, Croatia -- dmacan@alf.tel.hr, dmacan@jagor.srce.hr -- Check out http://comics.cro.net/ (Croatian Interactive Encyclopedia of Comics) - it's not my page but I've contributed somewhat and it's generally considered a good page (caveat: mainly in Croatian, some English)
Publications--About Comics:
Once upon the time there was a hard-disk with bibliography of my articles saved on it. Now it rests in peace and I don't have a bibliography any more...:(
Let's just say that I wrote articles, reviews, essays, columns and conducted interviews about comics since, I think, 1989, in various Croatian newspapers, general magazines, trade journals, fanzines and web-pages (better half of it under the pen-name of Cecile Quintal). Since all those articles were in Croatian, you wouldn't be able to read them anyway so the loss of the bibliography is not the great one (except for me). The only article that I wrote in English is a brief and opinioned overview of a Croatian comics history that's going to be published in Stripburger #15.
Oh, I did graduate history by writing about "Croatian Comics 1945-1954 as a Historical Source". It's in Croatian, too, so tough luck...:)
Publications--Other:
I write/draw comics and write fiction. The bibliography of that was on the same hard-disk so that's another reading chore you're going to be spared of. I'll list only the collections/books in order not to look like I'm taking easy way out of this questionnaire:
· Citati ("Quotations", a collection of short comics drawn by Edvin Biukovic), in Croatian, 1993.
· Strossmayer (a graphic novel on the life of 19th century Croatian bishop, drawn by Radovan Domagoj Devlic and Dusan Gacic), in Croatian, 1993
· Grendel Tales: Devils and Deaths (trade paperback collecting the six issues of the series, drawn by Edvin Biukovic), in English (though available in French and German, too), 1996.
· Star Wars X-Wing: The Phantom Affair (trade paperback collecting the four issues of the series, co-written with Mike Stackpole, drawn by Edvin Biukovic), in English (though available in French and German), 1997.
· Knjige lazu! ("Books Lie!", a collection of six interconnected stories about kids, fiction), in Croatian, 1997

As I'm not an academic, nor have I have I dedicated very much time to any form of critical theory, I plan to mostly lurk on this list unless I have some concrete facts to offer in response to a question. I've enjoyed the more academic discursions on the comix@world list, and this list to date, which is why I'm here in the first place.

Research Interests, Current Projects (Comics and Otherwise):
Ah!
This I can answer. I'm a first-year grad student in the Masters program
in Comparative Media Studies, a recently created program at MIT; my
background is in English literature. I'm sure at this point that I'll
be working in comics for my thesis research, but I'm interested in a huge
variety of problems and I haven't settled on anything yet. (When people
say to me, "But your topic is comics," I usually say something
like, "That's like saying my topic is 'literature' -- if hardly anyone
had
studied literature before.")
Broadly, I'm interested in, on the one hand, the question of the unresolved
formulation of the poetics of comics, and how we can draw on the scholarship
in other media -- literature, static 'fine' art, cinema, poetry, conglomerative
art -- to formulate a vocabulary of comics. In that regard, I'm
interested in things like the ways metaphors and symbols are used in
intertwined ways in comics narrative and art; I'm also interested in
exploring the French traditions, both of comics art and of scholarship.
On the other leg, I'm deeply intrigued by the American superhero mythos, as
it inheres in comics and crosses media (and fails to cross international and
cultural borders). I'm fascinated by the ambiguously articulated ideas
which seem to cluster around popular superhero narratives -- what on earth
are they so richly suggesting to us about mythology, costume, secret
identity, sex and sexuality, gender, race, nationalism and historical memory,
the meanings of pacifism and patriotism, the meaning of Americanism
itself? Scholarship and speculation have barely begun to scratch the
surface. What are these stories we've been telling ourselves for more
than half a decade? And how are they being modulated now?
Other Comments:
I
think you've got plenty of comments from me. :) I'd just like to say
that I'm delighted to have been made aware of this list, and I eagerly
anticipate dialogue.
Can This Survey Be Archived for Later Public View?:
Certainly. (I may want to change it later when I've finally got some publications under my belt, though. Heh.)

Research Interests, Current Projects (Comics and Otherwise):
Currently interested in exploring how the Internet and other new technologies will affect the comics industry. In short, if it's online, is it comics? And how effective is the Net in promoting one's work? Can you get better exposure (and more money) by selling your work online? there seems to be a lot of comic-related material online, but little exploration of how important this is to the art form (if it is at all).

Currently working on how to theorize Rius and the "for beginners" style in the context of ever-multiplying Marxist aesthetic criticisms, many tending to concentrate on unconscious or covert political content/style.

Comments:
I'm a graduate student of American visual culture at Washington University in St. Louis. I've been interested in popular visual forms like photography, cinema and advertising for some time now. I'm just now beginning to form ideas about a dissertation on gay comic strips and liberation identities between 1965-1990.
I'm interested in the ways the comics medium fosters the development of imaginary communities which transmit gay and lesbian culture, as an alternative to traditional family-transmitted culture. I particularly keen on the kind of spectatorship necessitated by comics and how this, together with serialized narratives, participates in the formation of minority cultural communities.
I won't start on this project til next spring. I'm aware of very little literature on gay comics, but suggestions, thoughts, resources, criticisms are gratefully received.
