The Greatest Comic Book of All Time: Symbolic Capital and the Field of American Comic Books by Bart Beaty, Benjamin Woo
Requirements: ePUB or AZW3 Reader, 1.3MB
Overview: Everyone knows that comics have come a long way in recent years. Once snubbed as among the lowest of low culture forms, comic books and graphic novels are now reviewed in prestigious magazines and journals, taught in schools and universities, and generally regarded as a form of artistic expression almost (if not quite) as reputable as traditional arts like literature, visual art, music, and so on. But not all comic books are created equal. Why do some works and authors enjoy commercial and critical success while others perhaps equally as good languish unknown and uncelebrated?
The Greatest Comic Book of All Time: Symbolic Capital and the Field of American Comic Books, a new book by Bart Beaty and Benjamin Woo, explores these questions in a series of short, provocative essays about value and reputation in the world of American comic books. Inspired by Pierre Bourdieu’s analyses of fields of cultural production, we try to understand why works have the reputations that they do and what it might take to re-structure the comics world along different principles that would recognize different works.
The book serves as both a companion to an introductory survey of comic books and graphic novels and a call to reconsider how we practice and teach comics studies.
Genre: Non-Fiction, Cultural Studies
