Sommario/riassunto

In France, comics are commonly referred to as the "ninth art". What does it mean to see comics as art? This book looks at the singular status of comics in the French cultural landscape. Bandes dessinées have long been published in French newspapers and magazines. In the early 1960s, a new standard format emerged: large hardback books,



called albums. Albums played a key role in the emergence of the ninth art and its acceptance among other forms of literary narrative. From Barbarella in 1964 to La Ballade de la mer salée in 1975, from Astérix and its million copies to Tintin and its screen versions, within the space of just a few years the comics landscape underwent a deep transformation. The album opened up new ways of creating, distributing, and reading bandes dessinées. This shift upended the market, transformed readership, initiated new transmedia adaptations, generatedcritical discourse, and gave birth to new kinds of comics fandom. These transformations are analysed through a series of case studies, each focusing on a noteworthy album. By retracing the publishing and critical history of these classic bandes dessinées, this book questions the blind spots of a canon based on the album format and uncovers the legitimisation processes that turned bande dessinée into the ninth art. .

Sommario/riassunto

En esta obra los autores hacen un análisis histórico de la compleja estructura familiar china, desde sus rasgos más permanentes. Utilizan



fuentes tan diversas como los clásicos confucianos, compendios legales, literatura, testimonios de viajeros y obras de otros científicos sociales tanto chinos como extranjeros. El estudio abarca el complicado periodo de guerras, invasiones y revoluciones que vivió China desde mediados del siglo XIX hasta 1949.
