"Intersectional Feminist Readings of Comics collects several theoretically informed
close reading of comics and graphic literature that apply an intersectional feminist
lens to the interpretation of several contemporary North American graphic narratives.
The essays use a range of interpretive lenses drawn from theoretical models used in
contemporary aesthetics, media studies, and literary criticism to analyze mainstream
figures like DC's Catwoman and Marvel's Miss America and Doctor Strange, to contextualize
historical and speculative comics by Indigenous American illustrators, and to explicate
autography by critically lauded Jewish, queer and female cartoonists. In the first
half of the book, the chapters examine ways in which superhero comics and the cinematic
and televisual adaptations thereof, reify, revise and reject gender parity, systemic
misogyny and heteropatriarchy through visual and textual rhetorics of representation.
In the second part of the volume, the chapters look at the ways that feminist interpretive
practices illuminate the radical work undertaken by cartoonists from historically
marginalized communities in the U.S. and Canada. Across both halves, readers will
find applications of longstanding feminist critical traditions, like ecofeminism,
as well as new intersectional extrapolations of narratology, autobiographical studies,
and visual rhetoric, which have been applied to the selected comics in insightful
and innovative ways. This is a lively and varied collection suitable for students
and scholars in gender studies, cultural studies, media studies and literary studies"
