Description
The Anglia Book Series (ANGB) offers a selection of high quality work on all areas and aspects of English philology. It publishes book-length studies and essay collections on English language and linguistics, on English and American literature and culture from the Middle Ages to the present, on the new English literatures, as well as on general and comparative literary studies, including aspects of cultural and literary theory.
This monograph offers the first comprehensive theory of playfulness in comics and comics-like works. To account for playfulness in these mediated or designed contexts, the book approaches playfulness as a primarily "appropriative" attitude that manifests when individuals "reframe" situations to serve their own ludic ends. Against this background, the book presents three interconnected "lenses" that invite consideration of where, when, how, and for whom playfulness may be involved, enabling a focus on three dimensions of playfulness as it manifests in comics - producer-oriented, work-oriented, and recipient-oriented playfulness - which are explored through close readings of a range of comics and comics-like works..
