These reflections revolve around the  autographic gesture . This gesture refers to, firstly, the leaving of graphic traces of an embodied self, which, secondly, transform into a drawn figure that represents this self and acquires a certain autonomy as a character, and which, thirdly, are embedded in a narrative that tells all or part of this self s life story. By combining the semiotic logics of trace, image, and narrative, the book argues, autographics perform this gesture and shape a specific form of selfhood. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book studies this process by turning to theories about selfhood constructed primarily within the following three intellectual traditions: existential hermeneutics, as developed by Paul Ricoeur; existential phenomenology, as embodied by Jean-Paul Sartre; and psychoanalysis, through the lenses of Jacques Lacan, Marion Milner, and Donald Winnicott. The ideas of these authors, as well as Paul de Man s and Johann Gottlieb Fichte s analyses of subject-constitution, are brought into dialogue with autobiographical graphic narratives by Zoe Thorogood, Katie Green, Peter Pontiac, Alison Bechdel, Yoshihiro Tatsumi, Marjane Satrapi, Riad Sattouf, Keiji Nakazawa, Lynda Barry, and others. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":54838495478098,"sku":"9783031922565","price":42.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/bild_fca2f02e-d036-4b76-92c8-6bd1c590e6a2.jpg?v=1790339648","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/autobiographical-comics-and-graphic-novels","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
