Abstract |
The Relation Text-Picture in Birgit Weyhe’s Graphic Novel Kermesse au paradis
Graphic novels are a great success in Germany since the beginning of the 1990s. This paper focuses on the work of a representative of this new generation of authors who are contributing to the renewal of the genre in Germany. The reflexion concerns the complex relationships between text and picture in Kermesse au paradis. Although graphic novels are traditionally perceived as easy readings, intended to a young audience or lay readers, the analysis of the corpus shows that this is not true as far as Birgit Weyhe is concerned. In Kermesse au paradis, the picture is not intended to facilitate verbal comprehension, but to enrich it, whether by strengthening the implied dimension which is already noticeable in the text or by redirecting the interpretation and by raising contents which would not have been understandable without the associated images. |
