This special topics panel seeks papers that explore the relationship between the human and the hand-drawn image in all of its contemporary forms in media from comics and illustrations in childrens literature to animated cartoons.
Some particular questions to respond to include:
In what ways do these images theorize the human?
What is the status of the hand-drawn image in the age of digital reproduction? How does that status relate to the human?
To what extent do such images intervene upon the aesthetics and politics of realism?
How might the study of hand-drawn images and visual culture pertain to the current status of the humanities?
