Abstract

Abstract The religious, political, and social complexities of the Middle East and its individual countries may be difficult for younger readers to navigate via traditional text. Graphic novels provide an accessible way for readers to learn about life in the region. Specifically, graphic memoirs, many of which feature coming-of-age accounts, may help readers learn about religion in the Middle East while also relating to the authors and the stories they tell. This article presents a brief history of graphic novels and a discussion of the prevalence of religious narratives and themes in some of the most well-known graphic memoirs. This is followed by a select bibliography of autobiographical graphic memoirs in which the authors address living in or visiting countries in the Middle East. The graphic memoirs discussed in this bibliography are appropriate for readers ranging in age from tweens to young adults.
面向年轻成人读者的中东图片回忆录
摘要中东及其各个国家的宗教、政治和社会复杂性可能让年轻读者很难通过传统文本进行浏览。平面小说为读者提供了一种了解该地区生活的便捷方式。具体来说,图形回忆录,其中许多以成人故事为特色,可以帮助读者了解中东的宗教,同时也与作者和他们讲述的故事有关。本文介绍了平面小说的简史,并讨论了一些最著名的平面回忆录中宗教叙事和主题的流行。随后是自传体图形回忆录的精选书目,作者在其中介绍了在中东国家生活或访问的情况。本参考书目中讨论的图文回忆录适合年龄从青少年到年轻人的读者。
