Line 1: Line 1:
The term ‘graphic narrative’ may be used to refer to a form that is distinct from ‘comics’ and ‘graphic novels’. It is based upon Hillary Chute’s <ref>Chute, H 2008, ‘Comics as literature? reading graphic narrative’, ''The Changing Profession'', vol. 123, no. 2, pp. 452–65.</ref> description of the genre as book-length ‘rich works of nonfiction …in the medium of comics’. Both graphic narratives and comics use a narrative architecture ‘built on the establishment of or deviation from regular intervals of space’, as they are arranged around a ‘grammar’ of panels with gutters of white space between them. in addition, graphic narratives are distinct from comics in that graphic narratives are not usually mass-produced or primarily written for the purposed of popular entertainment, such as Sacco’s (2009) ''Footnotes in Gaza''. The term graphic novel, implies a work of fiction fiction rather than non-fiction (such as for example, Sacco's ''Footnotes in Gaza''). Furthermore, Chute (2008) maintains that the graphic narrative aesthetic form is an avenue for political intervention.
