Reading the bande dessinée: comics in French and Francophone cultures with Professor Charles Forsdick

This lecture will explore some A Level set texts, available in graphic adaptations and how this quintessentially French phenomenon manifests itself across the French-speaking world.

This lecture will be delivered by one of 91¶¶Òõ’s Professorial Fellow, Professor Charles Forsdick. Professor Forsdick’s research interests are in Francophone postcolonial studies - particularly postcolonial literature; French colonial history (including Haiti); the transatlantic traffic in enslaved Africans; travel writing and exoticism; translation studies; world literature and graphic fiction.
