New paths for comics

The aim of this symposium is to take stock of comics in the French-speaking world, from a variety of angles. Of course, we'll be focusing on the aesthetic dimension, evoking poetry comics, the growing importance of non-fiction, and interest in new media. But we'll also look at the state of teaching and research, market trends, the diversity of editorial approaches, the fragility of male and female authors, the importance of mediation, the promotion of heritage and original plates..
