Abstract [en]

The aim of this chapter is to illuminate how the theories of the feminist art historians Linda Nochlin, Griselda Pollock and Rozsika Parker can be utilized when analysing Swedish comics. What are the potentials and the deficiencies, and what other theories and methods are needed when investigating comics from feminist perspectives? The analysis will be based on four case studies of Swedish feminist comics: “The Future in Swedish Avant-Garde Comics, 2006–2014” (2017), “Högerideologi som dansbandsmelodi. Politisk satir i svenska feministiska serier” [Right wing ideology as popular dance music. Political satire in Swedish feminist comics] (2017),“Women’s Liberation. Swedish Feminist Comics and Cartoons from the 1970s and 1980s” (2019) and “Comics Craftivism: Embroidery in Contemporary Swedish Feminist Comics” (2021). The chapter is structured according to Pollock’s three positions for feminism’s encounter with the canon, which began with the Women’s Liberation Movement in the early 1970s (Pollock, Griselda, Differencing the Canon: Feminist Desire and the Writing of Art’s Histories. Routledge, London 1999). This chapter ends with a reflection on the relevance—the potential and the deficiencies—of feminist art-historical approaches to the field of Comics Studies, and their methodological possibilities.
