Maureen Burdock: Queen of Snails

In this online presentation, graphic novelist Maureen Burdock will talk about her seminal work Queen of Snails. A Graphic Memoir (published by graphic mundi, 2022). Queen of Snails is a major contribution to the field of comics-based research, initiated by scholars such as Serge Tisseron, Scott McCloud or Nick Sousanis, which seeks to convey specific, practice-based knowledge via the comics form. In her graphic novel, Burdock reflects through the interplay of image and text on the transmission of trauma from one generation of women to the next. It is also a coming-of-age story, which questions identity and selfhood.
