Comics Scholar Bart Beaty's new book Unpopular Culture now available
:: Posted by dave h @ 1/21/2007 08:56:00 PM  Comics scholar Bart Beaty- associate professor in the Faculty of Communication and Culture at the University of Calgary, as well as a columnist for both The Comics Journal and The Comics Reporter - has published a new book from University of Toronto Press, Unpopular Culture: Transforming the European Comic Book in the 1990s.
Gene Kannenberg of ComicsScholar.org is very happy to be offering this book on their blog at 20% off the cover price, directly from the publisher.
Here's a link to the publisher, where you'll find great press such as:
Unpopular Culture not only makes a highly significant contribution to the field of comics scholarship, but also makes a major contribution to the field of cultural studies in general. The developments which it details and theorises represent the emergence of comics in Europe as an art form with an avant-garde, experimental tendency. The scholarship is remarkable, and the book is groundbreaking. -Ann Miller-School of Modern Languages, University of Leicester
Here's a bio of the well respected Mr. Beaty; here's a query of his name on Sequential, and here is the book on Amazon.Labels: comics history, comics scholarship, links, new books, news
