Graphic War: Jewish Women Drawing Contested Spaces

Autor Laini Kavaloski
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 ian 2026 – vârsta ani
Employing geographical and political structures to her analyses, Laini Kavaloski argues that spatial forms that represent boundaries such as walls, ghettos, and war zones together with the artistic renderings of emotion, gendered experiences, and cultural narratives make visible the consequences of war on bodies and political futures. Representations of Jewish territorial positions are not only metaphoric but are also active forces in determining the effects of boundaries—political and cultural— on Jewish lives. Through an archive of contemporary memoirs that grapple with Jewish experiences of war, Graphic War makes visible the consequences of state structures, militarized environments, and nationalisms on the female body and in doing so registers a shift from the persistent Jewish identification with 20th-century oppression toward a narrative of Jewish belonging based in transnational agency and activism in the 21st Century.

Recenzii

"Graphic War is remarkable, arguing that the comic form is exemplary in its engagement with borders, boundaries, and national and cultural identity. Kavaloski argues that comics are an ideal genre for women to contest Jewish national and cultural identity at a time when gender, nation, and belonging have been put seriously in question."
"Kavaloski's feminist-spatial practice, with her focus on nationalization and bodies, avoids many of the exceptionalist pitfalls to which the standard historicism dominant in Jewish studies is heir. The compelling model of critical intellectuality elaborated here will aid the effort to break down the boundaries of epistemic privilege behind which Jewish studies so often practices its trade."
"Anchored by representations of war and violence, Kavaloski offers a deft addition to the study of contemporary Jewish graphic narratives through an analysis of the female experience across gendered and national borders."

"Kavaloski's thoughtful readings of Jewish graphic narratives offer new insights into how war and violence affect contemporary Jewish women. This is an important contribution towards understanding the ways that politics, gender, religion, and nationality intersect and the role that visual narratives can play in providing a platform for navigating these complex identities."
“Kavaloski constructs a useful framework to read the embodied, gendered experience of war and violence in graphic narratives. She calls it 'neoformalist,' but what we get are impactful cultural readings at the intersection of feminism theory, in the wake of spatial turn, with an eye on the aesthetic that can be translated beyond the Jewish literary domain.”

Descriere

Graphic War introduces graphic border poetics to the field of comics, which enables a methodological response to nationalist, empirical, and gendered ideologies. It registers a shift from the persistent Jewish identification with 20th-century oppression toward a Jewish belonging based in transnational agency and activism in the 21st Century.
