Advicecomics.tumblr.com and the carnival of care

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › Research › peer-review

Abstract

Advicecomics.tumblr.com is a collaborative online comics project which repurposes the advice column formula. Anonymous users write in with their problems and comics artists create comics in response. In this paper I closely observe the dialogical and embodied thinking-and-feeling strategies that the comics artists employ in their responses to the letters, contextualising these strategies within Bakhtin’s notion of the carnival as a folk phenomena.
