Publisher: ImageTexT

The objective of ImageTexT is to advance the academic study of comic books,
comic strips, and animated cartoons. Under the guidance of an editorial
board of scholars from a variety of disciplines, ImageTexT publishes
solicited and peer-reviewed papers that investigate the material,
historical, theoretical, and cultural implications of visual textuality.

ImageTexT welcomes essays emphasizing (but not limited to) the aesthetics,
cognition, production, reception, distribution and dissemination of comics
and other media as they relate to comics, along with translations of
previously existing research on comics as dimensions of visual culture.

Exploring all periods and all countries, and deploying a wide range of
disciplinary approaches, ImageTexT is designed to foster innovative
discussions of the political and social implications of comics, to generate
original formal aesthetic analyses of comics, and to broaden theoretical
discussions of genre, period, narrative, and complex image/text
relationships in comics and related media.

ImageTexT will include reviews of current scholarship in the field,
announcements regarding relevant conferences and upcoming publications, and
links to other theoretical projects of interest to readers.  ImageTexT will
also provide currently unavailable English-language translations of seminal
essays of comics theory.

ImageTexT is a web-based journal with free and full open access to all
articles. Authors publishing in ImageTexT have the opportunity to use a
wider range and number of images, including those in full-color, than would
be possible in a print journal. ImagTexT¹s web format also allows authors to
use links within their essays to an array of internet images.

Although each issue of ImageTexT focuses on specific topics, the journal
will also include a section for historically significant works that may not
be related to that issue's topic, including translations of previously
published essays. These supplemental sections will be updated with each new
issue. ImageTexT will maintain a complete archive of previous issues.
