Culture Becomes Policy: Bande Dessinée as Monumental Architecture; Epilogue: A Sous-Produit Littéraire No Longer; Notes; Bibliography; IndexIn Francophone countries comic strips - bande dessin�ee or 'BD' in French - have long been considered a major art form capable of addressing a host of contemporary issues. Among French-speaking intelligentsia, graphic narratives were deemed worthy of canonisation and critical study decades before the academy and the press in the US embraced comics. The place that BD holds today, however, belies the contentious political route the art form has travelled. This book examines the trek of BD from being considered a fomenter of rebellion to an art capable of addressing social concerns in mainstream culture.Comic books, strips, etcFranceHistory and criticismComic books, strips, etcBelgiumHistory and criticismComic books, strips, etc.History and criticism.Comic books, strips, etc.History and criticism.741.5/6944Vessels Joel E1818855StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910959703403321Drawing France4378311UNINA
