Abstract

ABSTRACT This symposium article brings together distinguished scholars from the field of criminology, graphic arts, creative industries and social policy, and English to reflect on a suite of ‘educational’ or ‘public information’ comics created by the Scottish Centre for Comics Studies (SCCS), based at the University of Dundee. There are now 20-plus titles available to the public for free download and distribution on a range of subject matters relating to healthcare, law and justice, science, forensic analysis, trauma and memory studies, as well as a diverse range of literary adaptations, creative responses to literary and cultural texts, and other subjects. Each of these works relies on a strong symbiotic relationship between their authors, experts, artists, editors, and other contributors to successfully convey every story at hand. Every comic is also meticulously reviewed for accuracy – both written and visual – at each stage of creation, leading up to publication. In this article, the contributors have focused on selected titles from our ‘educational’ comics series to generate incisive analyses that will be relevant to scholars working in a broad range of fields from law, psychology, the humanities and creative arts, to healthcare and the sciences, understood broadly. In order of appearance, the contributors are Paul Long, Christopher Pizzino, Angus Nurse, and Ian Horton.

简介:“公共信息漫画”

这篇研讨会文章汇集了来自犯罪学、图形艺术、创意产业和社会政策领域的杰出学者，以及英语，以反思一套由位于邓迪大学的苏格兰漫画研究中心(SCCS)创作的“教育”或“公共信息”漫画。现在有20多种图书可供公众免费下载和分发，涉及保健、法律和司法、科学、法医分析、创伤和记忆研究等一系列主题，以及各种文学改编、对文学和文化文本的创造性反应和其他主题。每一部作品都依赖于作者、专家、艺术家、编辑和其他贡献者之间的紧密共生关系，以成功地传达手头的每一个故事。每一幅漫画在出版前的每个创作阶段都要经过仔细的审查，以确保其准确性——无论是文字上的还是视觉上的。在本文中，作者将重点放在我们的“教育”漫画系列中的精选标题上，以产生与法律，心理学，人文和创意艺术，医疗保健和科学等广泛领域的学者相关的深刻分析，并广泛理解。按出场顺序，撰稿人分别是Paul Long, Christopher Pizzino, Angus Nurse和Ian Horton。

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.
