Description
Sequential images have been used to convey narratives throughout human history, from cave paintings and tapestries to modern comics. This comprehensive collection brings together research from linguistics, psychology, anthropology, art education, and other fields to provide a foundation for understanding visual narratives. The Visual Narrative Reader explores fundamental questions about the role of images in narrative, including how style impacts understanding, how metaphors are conveyed, and how meaning is understood across sequential images. The book also examines the benefits of visual narratives for education and literacy, as well as their differences across cultures and historical periods. This collection of papers and review chapters provides a broad overview of the growing field of visual language and comics, making it suitable for anyone interested in this topic.
