From Animal Odd Couples to Oddkin: Probing Visual Representations of Interspecies Friendship through Critical Cuteness by Justyna Włodarczyk

“…Through a reading of three different versions of one narrative, James Oliver Curwood’s Nomads of the North and the novel’s two film adaptations, the article traces a genealogy of cuteness in representations of interspecies friendships and proposes a methodology called critical cuteness that makes it possible to alleviate the flattening of animals’ stories effected by the aesthetics of cuteness. The methodology is based on exposing the incongruity between the affective functions of animal imagery and their ethological interpretation and on recovering the individual animals’ life stories. …”

A Review of the Book How Can Art Change Your Life? by Alireza Taheri, Batool Maazallahi

Sous le règne de la terreur. La répression franquiste dans la bande dessinée espagnole. Le cas de Pablo Uriel et de Miguel Núñez by Benoît Mitaine

“…As for adaptations of memories, those of Miguel Núñez on the one hand (La revolución y el deseo, 2002) and Pablo Uriel on the other (No se fusila en domingo, 2005), these works will be studied from four different angles: history, autobiography, adaptation and aesthetics. Because these allo/auto/biographical cartoons are based on testimonies, because they are fictionalized pieces of history and because they contribute to the effort to recover the historical memory of the vanquished of the Spanish Civil War, It will be necessary first of all to recall the particular nature of the context of production of these texts in order to emphasize that in Spain the question of civil war remains a politically burning subject. …”
