Mit der aktuellen Popularität von Comicverfilmungen sind Comics heute in unserer Kultur präsenter als je zuvor. Gleichzeitig eröffnen Graphic Novels wie Art Spiegelmanns »Maus« neue Möglichkeiten der Beschäftigung mit sozialen Praktiken und kollektiver Erinnerung. Vor dem Hintergrund der zunehmenden Hybridisierung in Medien, Kunst und Kultur hebt dieser Reader das medienreflexive, narrative und politische Potenzial einer noch jungen Kunstform hervor und versammelt richtungsweisende Ansätze der internationalen Comicforschung aus den Bereichen »Transmedialität«,»Erzähltheorie«, »Interaktive Medien«, »Visuelle Kultur« und »Queer Theory«. Mit Beiträgen u.a. von Jens Balzer, Ole Frahm, Pascal Lefèvre, Mark McLelland sowie Kathleen Martindale und zahlreichen Abbildungen.
Kontroversiel, historisk bog kortlægger den danske filmbranches samarbejde med Nazi-Tyskland under Besættelsen. Hitler og arkitekterne bag Det Tredje Rige var i høj grad klar over filmmediets anvendelighed som propagandamaskine. Danmark havde hidtil været filmisk foregangsland under stumfilmsperioden, og tyskerne sørgede for at udnytte denne ekspertise til egen fordel. Det er en fortælling om, hvordan folk, også selvom de ikke var nazister, i realiteten gennemførte nazisternes ønsker. Det er ikke nogen sort-hvid fortælling, men en historie om gråzoner, opportunister, kollaboratører og store penge. Bogen er baseret på ny forskning og sprængfyldt med afsløringer af det mildest talt betændte samarbejde med Det Tredje Rige. E-bogen indeholder filmklip, der kan ses direkte i e-bogen i læsesystemer, der understøtter video og hvor visning af online indhold er tilladt. Bagerst i bogen findes desuden en liste over alle videoerne og links til YouTube. Lars-Martin Sørensen, ph.d., er forskningsleder ved Det Danske Filminstitut og er desuden ansvarshavende direktør for deres tidsskrift for filmforskning og filmkultur Kosmorama.
