Last two seminars on bande dessinée and the environment with Anne Defréville (4th July) and Jessica Oublié (12th July)
Fourth seminar on 4th July 3.45-5pm BST: ‘Eco-Comics for Better Living in the More-than-Human World’, talk and discussion with comics artist Anne Defréville
In coordination with Better Living Through Comics: The 2023 Joint Conference of the International Graphic Novel & Comics and the International Bande Dessinée Society
Anne Defréville (https://www.annedefreville.com/) is a visual artist, designer, illustrator and comics artist. She is deeply committed to ecology, and much of her comics work has focused on environmental and animal issues. She has worked in collaboration with INSERM (the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research) and many environmental associations. Her bandes dessinées challenge anthropocentrism in creative, sometimes humorous, and always thought-provoking ways, shifting across autobiography, documentary and science fiction. She is the author of L’Age bleu [The blue age] (2019), which was awarded the 2020 Artemisia Prize for the Environment and the Mouans-Sartoux Prize for best environmental book; Journal anthropique de la cause animale [Anthropogenic diary of the animal cause] (2022); Mémoires d’un cétacé [Memoirs of a cetacean] (2023); and SEFARDIM, l’épopée d’une famille juive Durant 3,000 ans [The 3,000-year saga of a Jewish family] (2023).

Fifth and last seminar on 12th July, 6-7pm BST: talk and Q&A with comics writer Jessica Oublié
Jessica Oublié is a comics writer. She is the author of the documentary graphic narratives Péyi an nou (2017), on the migration of French Caribbeans to mainland France in the 1960s-1980s via the state agency BUMIDOM; and Tropiques Toxiques (2020), which will be the focus of this seminar. Tropiques Toxiques explores the toxic history and legacies of the use of Chlordecone pesticide in Guadeloupe and Martinique’s banana plantations between 1972 and 1993, resulting in the poisoning of land, sea, and human and nonhuman bodies. The bande dessinée combines insights from scientific expertise and lived experience in an in-depth investigation of a scandal of environmental injustice and toxic politics. In this seminar Jessica Oublié will talk about the possibilities offered by the comics medium, in terms not only of its complexity but also its accessibility and impact, and the intersections of environmental, political, cultural, historical and social issues, from the situated and planetary perspective of the Antilles.
All are welcome to attend this free event, which will be held online via Zoom on Wednesday 12th July 6-7pm BST. The seminar will be in French with simultaneous English translation. You will need to register in advance to receive the online joining link.
