Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper will examine the self-styled public information comics Chronicle: The Archive and Museum Anthology and Archives and Memory, both published by the Scottish Centre for Comics Studies (SCCS) in 2018. The comics in question deal with notions of the archival in very different ways both conceptually and stylistically. The discussion will highlight the legal and social justice issues these comics raise while focusing on the complex relationship between archival materials and memory. It will additionally consider these in relation to the concept of public information comics and unpack what such comics do that goes beyond the mere communication of information.
期刊介绍:
Law and Humanities is a peer-reviewed journal, providing a forum for scholarly discourse within the arts and humanities around the subject of law. For this purpose, the arts and humanities disciplines are taken to include literature, history (including history of art), philosophy, theology, classics and the whole spectrum of performance and representational arts. The remit of the journal does not extend to consideration of the laws that regulate practical aspects of the arts and humanities (such as the law of intellectual property). Law and Humanities is principally concerned to engage with those aspects of human experience which are not empirically quantifiable or scientifically predictable. Each issue will carry four or five major articles of between 8,000 and 12,000 words each. The journal will also carry shorter papers (up to 4,000 words) sharing good practice in law and humanities education; reports of conferences; reviews of books, exhibitions, plays, concerts and other artistic publications.
