Description:

This monograph presents a prototype theory-based approach to the graphic novel as a narrating genre. After a historical contextualization, the graphic novel is defined through the core feature of complexity and seven gradable subcategories. With regard to narration, the author challenges concepts from classical narratology like the 'narrator' and 'focalization' to finally discuss aspects of subjectivity, a focal paradigm in the latest research.
