Study Notes

Multiplicity, Pastiche, and Self-Reflexivity in Comics

  • Multiplicity: Skeptical of absolute “Truth”; seeks multiple perspectives or truths, distrusts grand, unifying narratives, and breaks down boundaries between genres, cultures, and identities.

    • Examples:
      • Promethea: Explores multiple truths through the protagonist's mythological, spiritual, and personal journeys, distrusting fixed "truths" of mythology. Embodies the multiplicity of selfhood, blending myth, imagination, and present-day experience.
      • Vision Quest: Echo: Questions absolute truths about sensory experience and identity. The deaf protagonist's experience highlights how perspective shapes "truth," showing a narrative beyond the assumed norms of sound and silence.
      • Drawn to Change: Depicts labor struggles from diverse perspectives—workers, activists, and historians—rejecting grand narratives of progress and focusing on marginalized voices.
      • Annie of Red River: Breaks down historical narratives by centering Métis voices and experiences, challenging colonial accounts and offering a multiplicity of perspectives by blending cultural heritage with personal storytelling.
      • Planetary and Promethea: Explores layered identities in diverse narratives of heroes, portraying multifaceted selves and how comics depict complex concepts and overlapping identities.

  • Pastiche: Imitation or remixing of other works, suggesting nothing is truly new but rather a combination or reconfiguration of existing forms.

    • Examples:
      • Promethea: Heavily pastiches classical art, mythology, and literary traditions, mimicking historical styles from Renaissance painting to psychedelic art for diverse blend.
      • Bitumen or Bust: Employs journalistic realism but pastiches traditional documentary photography, recreating images in detailed comic art. Adapts investigative journalism to a graphic format.
      • Understanding Comics: Is a pastiche of academic and instructional texts, blending theoretical discourse with the visual language of comics. It functions as a self-reflexive text, simultaneously showcasing comic techniques and analyzing them.
      • Freyfaxi: Blends mythological storytelling with modern, minimalist humor, borrowing from ancient manuscript illustrations while using contemporary comedic sensibilities.
      • Toward a Conceptual Framework: Incorporates fragments of other artistic and conceptual frameworks, mimicking abstract expressionist paintings and minimalist art.

  • Self-Reflexivity: Acknowledging the text’s constructed nature; the work reminds readers it is a creation, not a direct reflection of reality.

    • Examples:
      • Promethea: Constantly reminds readers of the constructed narrative by breaking the fourth wall and commenting on its storytelling mechanisms, directly addressing narrative structure and philosophical underpinnings.
      • Understanding Comics: A deeply self-reflexive work. It explains how comics function while being a comic itself, directly addressing the reader and demonstrating the discussed comic techniques.
      • Jimmy Corrigan: Reflects its own construction using fragmented timelines and unreliable narration to disrupt the typical linear narrative. The visual style and layouts highlight the artificiality of the comic medium.
      • Planetary and Promethea: These works demonstrate self-awareness, questioning their genres (e.g., superhero tropes) recognizing their constructed identities, showing meta-commentary on their narratives.
      • Vision Quest: Echo: Reflects on its storytelling through fragmented, layered visuals, reminding readers that the narrative is shaped by the protagonist’s unique perspective.
