Nuns Having Fun: Popular Graphic Representations of a Historical Issue

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Designed to shock and awe, the combative nun characters appearing in modern-day comic books transport the reader to a fictionalized context in which the nun acts as a lightning rod for romanticized medievalism. Drawing on the film studies and art history disciplines represented in this volume, this chapter looks into the popular medium of comic books and graphic novels and their role in representing the archetypal nun. Her visual and literary legacy is built upon waves of reinterpretation going as far back as late medieval conceptions of early Christian martyr saints, building an image of devout, monastic women sacrificing themselves in the face of great violence for the sake of their sacred profession. Thus, the reverberations of the presentation and re-presentation of pugnacious sisters-in-arms create an archetype that is both wholly modern and yet timelessly capable of reinvention.
