| Sumario: | [EN] Memories of a music journalist is a graphic novel that I am making with Santi Carrillo, music journalist and director of Spanish magazine Rockdelux. A memoir tends to the abstract evocation of memories, sensations and emotions —that is why Carrillo’s literary text has raised a series of formal challenges in order to transform his text into a narrative in images, particulary in some essay chapters and in his memories about his childhood or the early death of his father. Still in the making, the work is structured in chapters associated with songs that are part of his biography and memory. For the most part of its history, the traditional comics have been a form / medium focused on external action: the slapstick, since its beginnings as a mass medium at the end of the XIX century, and the adventure fiction (exotic adventures, science fiction, superheroes, etc.) have nurtured most of the comics of the twentieth century. Only in recent decades an artistic comic for adults, the so-called graphic novel, has addressed other issues: memory, history, biography, essays—in short, reality. These new topics require the development of new formal tools to represent the inner world of ideas, feelings and sensations. In Memories of a music journalist I am using some allegorical designs, visual metaphors and the combination of different kind of representational languages (i.e., contrasts between drawing and photography) and styles (from caricature to realism). |
