摘要

本文探讨了美国平面小说对特朗普总统任期的回应、叙述和政治框架。通过分析从非小说到科幻小说的各种文本，我认为漫画艺术家很快就调动了媒介的独特品质，为意识形态批判服务。这篇文章详细描述了《萨布丽娜》（2018）、《艰难的明天》（2019）、《拉瓜迪亚》（2019年）和《欢迎来到新世界》（2020年）等出版物是如何在唐纳德·特朗普赢得大选和总统任期的背景下发展、塑造和重塑的。通过各种形式和风格的手段——面板排列提供的空间和时间跳跃以及并置，历史和同时代图像学的交织，各种文本线索和语域的相互作用——这些图形小说提供了特朗普和“特朗普主义”对各种个人、群体和社区影响的复杂描绘。它们以不同的方式证明了媒体有能力干预更广泛的政治话语，构建具有挑战性的历史和推测性叙事，并对当今的紧迫问题提供新的、有共鸣的参与。

Gutter politics: Graphic novels in the age of Trump

This article explores the ways in which US graphic novels have responded to, narrated and politically framed the Trump presidency. Analysing a generically diverse range of texts from non-fiction to science fiction, I argue that comics artists were quick to mobilize the medium’s unique qualities in the service of ideological critique. The article offers a detailed account of how publications such as Sabrina (2018), The Hard Tomorrow (2019), LaGuardia (2019) and Welcome to the New World (2020) were developed, shaped and reshaped against the backdrop of Donald Trump’s election victory and presidential term. Through an assortment of formal and stylistic devices ‐ spatial and temporal jumps and juxtapositions afforded by panel arrangement, a weaving together of historical and contemporaneous iconography, the interplay of various textual cues and registers ‐ these graphic novels offered complex portrayals of the impact of Trump and ‘Trumpism’ on various individuals, groups and communities. In different ways, they evidence the medium’s ability to intervene in wider political discourse, construct challenging historical and speculative narratives and offer fresh, resonant engagements with pressing issues of the day.
