'Comic Empires: The Imperialism of Cartoons, Caricature and
Satirical Art'
Editors: Richard
Scully, University of New England in Armidale (New South Wales, Australia), and
Andrekos Varnava, Flinders University (Adelaide, South Australia)
In around 15-or-so chapter-length case-studies, we hope to
explore the importance of cartoons, caricatures and satirical art in the
imperial context (c.1815-1945), from European and non-European imperial actors.
The collection will cover important threads of support, resistance, and
criticism, of imperialism in both metropole and periphery, explore the question
of orientalism, and look at colonial development, as well as any other theme
relating to empire.
Abstracts due June
28, 2013.
