Numărul 26/ 2014 al voluminoasei (peste 400 de pagini – apare trimestrial) reviste clujene Echinox, este dedicat literaturii science-fiction şi fantasy şi este editat în limbile engleză şi franceză. Era deci firesc să găsim în paginile sale şi un articol despre benzi desenate. Se intitulează „The Comic Books between Fantasy, Science-Fiction and Politics” şi este semnat de Gelu Teampău, singurul profesor din Romania care şi-a scris teza de doctorat despre interferenţele între mitologie şi banda desenată.
Iată un scurt rezumat al său:
« This article presents an
insight into the relations two of the main genres in popular literature, namely
science-fiction and fantasy, establish with the medium of comic books. In the
first part of the article these two genres are put face-to-face, and some
similarities as well as important differences between them, which are necessary
in any discussion on the topic, are exposed. Although their approach to the
same major issues is similar, and although they address almost the same public,
the main differences are related to their dealing with science and technology,
respectively with magic. Comic books have played an important role in
disseminating science-fiction and fantasy scenarios, helping in imposing codes
of representing races and places that are recurrent in stories as such (mostly
in the super-hero genre, created in comic books and transposed in all the other
media channels). The second part of the article investigates the presence of
the science-fiction and fantasy trends in comic books, as well as occasional
symbioses of the two genres. The most influential creations in the field are
not just good entertainment products or works of art, but they are relevant
from political, sociological, cultural and philosophical points of view. »
