Tegneseriens æstetik

The comic strip is the oldest and most popular visually narrative media of our culture, and has by degrees gained respect as an artistic media on a par with film, art and literature. A theoretical and aesthetical approach to and description of the genre, however, have been neglected -- both in Denmark and abroad. The purpose of Tegneseriens æstetik (The Aesthetics of the Comic Strip) is to shed some light on the special form and the effects of the comic strip through incorporation of recent, scholarly theories on culture and aesthetics. The particularity of the comic strip, its special aesthetics and the media's correlation with other art forms such as photography, art and literature are all subjected to a thorough analysis.
