Job description
COMICS. Children in Comics: An Intercultural History from 1865 until Today
Owing to their visual essence and status as a popular, modern medium, comics–newspaper strips, comics magazines and graphic novels–provide valuable insight into the transformation of collective consciousness. Funded by a five-year ERC Starting Grant, the COMICS project constructs the first intercultural history of children in European comics and traces the changing conceptualizations of child protagonists in popular comics for both children and adults from the mid-19th century to the present. In doing so, it takes key points in European history as well as the history of comics into account.
