Conclusion. 330 $aThis book mobilises the concept of kitsch to investigate the tensions around the representation of genocide in international graphic novels that focus on the Holocaust and the genocides in Armenia, Rwanda, and Bosnia. In response to the predominantly negative readings of kitsch as meaningless or inappropriate, this book offers a fresh approach that considers how some of the kitsch strategies employed in these works facilitate an affective interaction with the genocide narrative. These productive strategies include the use of the visual metaphors of the animal and the doll figure and the explicit and excessive depictions of mass violence. The book also analyses where kitsch still produces problems as it critically examines depictions of perpetrators and the visual and verbal representations of sexual violence. Furthermore, it explores how graphic novels employ anti-kitsch strategies to avoid the dangers of excess in dealing with genocide. The Representation of Genocide in Graphic Novels will appeal to those working in comics-graphic novel studies, popular culture studies, and Holocaust and genocide studies. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Comics and Graphic Novels,$x2634-6370 606 $aGenocide 606 $aGraphic novels 606 $aKitsch 606 $aCommunication 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aLiterature, Modern?20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern?21st century 606 $aCulture?Study and teaching 606 $aHistoriography 606 $aMedia and Communication$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412010 606 $aPopular Culture $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411170 606 $aContemporary Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/815000 606 $aCultural Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411130 606 $aMemory Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/711010 615 0$aGenocide. 615 0$aGraphic novels. 615 0$aKitsch. 615 0$aCommunication. 615 0$aPopular Culture. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern?21st century. 615 0$aCulture?Study and teaching. 615 0$aHistoriography. 615 14$aMedia and Communication. 615 24$aPopular Culture . 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aCultural Theory. 615 24$aMemory Studies. 676 $a741.59 676 $a741.59 700 $ain 't Veld$b Laurike$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01221853 712 02$aLaurike in 't Veld, 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483461003321 996 $aThe Representation of Genocide in Graphic Novels$92833333 997 $aUNINA
