STUDIES IN THE NOVEL,
Vol. 47, N°3
Special issue: the graphic novel
On February 3, 2012, the University of Toulouse-Jean Jaurès organized a one-day conference entitled "Passages", and supervised by Amélie Dochy, Céline Rolland
and Damien Alcade, during which I presented a conference entitled "Sandman, by Neil Gaiman: passage du temps, œuvre-passage (du comic book au roman graphique").
In the collective collection of articles pictured opposite (a special comics-focused issue of the American journal Studies in the Novel, edited by Timothy Boswell
and Stephen E. Tabachnik
and published in the fall of 2015), there is my article "Neil Gaiman's Sandman as a gateway from comic books to graphic novels", which is an adaptation and an English translation of the aforementioned lecture.
The article and the lecture explore how Sandman was a catalyst for the development of the concept of the graphic novel, both in aesthetic terms (that is, in terms borrowed from Mikhail Bakhtin by Andrés Romero-Jodár: a change of chronotope model in relation to comic books' serialization paradigm) and in terms of editorial practices (studied in the light Jean-Paul Gabilliet's work on the comics industry in his compendium Of Comics and Men).
