Jeunesse: Young People, Texts, Cultures invites essay submissions for a special issue addressing mobility in relation to youth texts and culture(s). We welcome essays that consider registers of race, class, gender, and disability. Essays should be between 6,000 and 9,000 words in length and prepared for blind peer-review.
Mobility invites us to think about bodies, identities, and agency from diverse disciplinary and methodological perspectives. Im/mobility can be many things: geographic, physical, ideological, imaginative, temporal, social. What are some of the ways that we might analyze this amorphous—in fact, mobile—topic in light of young people, their texts, and their cultures?

Le roman graphiqué: des influences de la BD sur le roman
Traduction du Roman de Frederic Tuten
D’une part, il existe des études sur la poésie influencée par la peinture ou sur le roman influencé par le cinéma; d’autre part, il existe des études sur les réalisateurs et films influencés par les « comics » (e.g. Resnais, les 300 de Miller/Snyder, ….) et sur la peinture utilisant les comics (e.g. Andy Warhol). Cependant, il n’y a rien ou presque sur le roman influencé par la BD ou les “comics”.
