Dear colleagues,
I hope you are all well. With apologies for crossposting.
Web/Comics 2023 is the first in a new workshop series for the ACM Hypertext conference. The Web/Comics workshop focuses on the transformation of the comics medium enacted by hypertext through the emergence of webcomics, or “graphic sequential narratives that are created, published, and read on-line”. It’s organised by Francesca Benatti (The Open University, UK), Linda Berube (City, University of London, UK) and myself (City, University of London, UK).
The workshop will be held in person in conjunction with the Hypertext 2023 conference, 4 or 5 September, at the Biblioteca Hertziana, Rome. Remote participation can be considered.
Participants are asked to submit a short lightning paper representing current work or original thinking in this area with the intention of encouraging interactive group discussion. The work presented should directly engage with the hypertextual specificity of webcomics.
Accepted participants will be invited to submit revised papers, incorporating feedback and insights following the workshop, in a special collection of The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship.
