Abstract |
[Abstract in French below]
The aim of this paper is to explore how fixed image succeed in representing temporal flux, which is one of the definitional features of narrativity. To deal with this question, we’ll have to take into account the participation of an interpreter building a reading course inside, between or beyond fixed images. The question will also to define which kind of temporality will be produced by iconic narratives. Indeed, narrative is not only the sequential representation of sequential events, but also events transformed by their emplotment. Here again, plot can be understood in two different ways: it can be a puzzling representation whose aim is to orient the attention of the interpreter toward an anticipated but uncertain resolution, or it can be viewed as a configuration conferring meaning and unity to the narrated events. Examples gathered in the graphic novel Watchmen will be used to illustrate these different modalities of iconic narrativity that often work jointly. Added by: joachim Last edited by: joachim |
