Contributions by Karine Abadie, Frederick Luis Aldama, Jan Baetens, Paul Fisher Davies, Brian Fies, Meags Fitzgerald, Frederik Byrn Køhlert, Mélanie Leclerc, Nancy Pedri, Giada Peterle, Barbara Postema, Véronique Sina, Sarah Thorne, and Paul TuckerComics and Intermediality offers a fresh look at comics through the lens of intermediality, exploring how comics intersect with, draw from, and expand upon other visual, verbal, and multimodal narrative forms. Contributors from across disciplines and countries examine how comics mediate essential artistic elements—language, movement, space, and time—and how their hybrid nature invites new ways of thinking about art, narrative, and media. The collection features interviews with cartoonists Brian Fies, Meags Fitzgerald, Mélanie Leclerc, and Paul Tucker.Moving beyond traditional word/image binaries to focus on intermedial storytelling practices, this volume reimagines core concepts like panel, frame, sequence, and gesture, revealing how comics communicate across media boundaries. Whether referencing cinema, literature, or the digital arts, these essays illuminate the expressive power of comics and their place in a broader cultural and media landscape.

Enlightening Encounters traces the impact of photography on Italian literature from the medium’s invention in 1839 to the present day. Investigating the ways in which Italian literature has responded to photographic practice and aesthetics, the contributors use a wide range of theoretical perspectives to examine a variety of canonical and non-canonical authors and a broad selection of literary genres, including fiction, autobiography, photo-texts, and migration literature. The first collection in English to focus on photography’s reciprocal relationship to Italian literature, Enlightening Encounters represents an important resource for a number of fields, including Italian studies, literary studies, visual studies, and cultural studies.
