Visual Metaphor and Drawn Narratives

Know about the book -

Visual Metaphor and Drawn Narratives is written by John Miers and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3031958004 (ISBN 10) and 9783031958007 (ISBN 13).

This book contributes to metaphor and comics scholarship by bringing together established theories of metaphor and of depiction and applying the result to the analysis of narrative drawing. Miers synthesizes two strands in recent comics scholarship: the analysis of comics as drawn texts, informed by art history and aesthetic philosophy, and the use of contemporary metaphor theory as a lens to examine how meaning is produced in comics. It aims to enrich and substantiate claims about the metaphorical characteristics of pictorial representations, and develop our understanding of how metaphor use is guided by stylistic features of drawing that are characteristic of the comics form.
