The Representation of Genocide in Graphic NovelsConsidering the Role of Kitsch /[electronic resource] :by Laurike in 't Veld. - 1st ed. 2019. - IX, 230 p. 13 illus., 5 illus. in color.online resource. - Palgrave Studies in Comics and Graphic Novels,2634-6370. - Palgrave Studies in Comics and Graphic Novels,.

1. Introduction: Graphic Novels, Genocide, Kitsch -- 2. (In)human Visual Metaphors: The Animal and the Doll -- 3. From Gruesome to Grey: The Moralisation of Perpetrators -- 4. Visualising Violence and Sexual Violence -- 5. Modernism and Historical Accuracy: Anti-Kitsch Strategies -- 6. Conclusion.

This book mobilises the concept of kitsch to investigate the tensions around the representation of genocide in international graphic novels that focus on the Holocaust and the genocides in Armenia, Rwanda, and Bosnia. In response to the predominantly negative readings of kitsch as meaningless or inappropriate, this book offers a fresh approach that considers how some of the kitsch strategies employed in these works facilitate an affective interaction with the genocide narrative. These productive strategies include the use of the visual metaphors of the animal and the doll figure and the explicit and excessive depictions of mass violence. The book also analyses where kitsch still produces problems as it critically examines depictions of perpetrators and the visual and verbal representations of sexual violence. Furthermore, it explores how graphic novels employ anti-kitsch strategies to avoid the dangers of excess in dealing with genocide. The Representation of Genocide in Graphic Novels will appeal to those working in comics-graphic novel studies, popular culture studies, and Holocaust and genocide studies.
