- Abstract
- This contribution is based on the thesis project "The Narrative Universe of Bulgarian Comics in the Digital Era" which is focused on the identification of the narrative characteristics of a corpus of Bulgarian comics from the last decade. The understanding of storytelling and image-building strategies in contemporary Bulgarian drawn literature is the main goal of the research. By questioning the cultural identity of the specific media that is comics in Bulgaria, the reflection of this contribution will focus on the modifications of the gender representation and the consequences of these changes in the narration strategies within the Bulgarian cultural context. "We could say that culture is a collection of stories that we tell each other all the time," which engenders our expectations, our actions and our way of thinking the world. Fruit of cultural cross, the Bulgarian comic strip is a media hinge of several forms of art. It is a knot of entangled relations, constantly transformed by the new connections it forms. In this axiological perspective we will confront the notion of the unique and exclusive root, conducted in many scientific texts from the Balkans, with that of identity which is not made of units, but of dimensions, or rather of moving directions: identity-relationship. The transmission to new social relations and new vectors of diffusion for narrative purposes has generated comics as we know them today. This is why we want to question the gender representation through this particular media, and this in a very particular cultural environment: of Bulgaria in the digital age.
