Item Restricted Graphic Novels in Times of Conflict : Comics as a Tool to Promote Understanding and Discussion on War Trauma and Realities of Conflict(2023) Yuval Eytam; Kim, Erin; Rieß, Henrik; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The representation of war and conflict in comics has traditionally been constrained by the single-panel format, often leading to a simplified, reductionist view of complex geopolitical issues. This thesis proposes that multi-page graphic novels can offer a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of war's psychological and emotional impact on communities. Unlike single-panel comics, graphic novels provide an extended narrative format that allows for a deeper exploration into the individual and communal experiences of those affected by conflict. The research aims to analyze the effectiveness of graphic novels as a tool for visual communication, specifically in conveying the multifaceted traumas and complexities of war, thereby fostering greater empathy and understanding among readers.
