MANOUACH, Ilan. Comic books as Ontographs: The composition process of Abrégé de Bande Dessinée Franco-Belge. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ. Comun., Ensayos [online]. 2023, n.125, pp.70-87.  Epub Nov 01, 2023. ISSN 1853-3523.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18682/cdc.vi125.4553.

In this paper I examine the composition process of my book Abrégé de bande dessinée franco-belge, published in 2018 and under the book catalog of eight comics publishers. Abrégé was built following the precepts of ontography, a model of conceptual representation for objects theorized by video game designer and Object Oriented Ontology philosopher Ian Bogost. Abrégé presents a visual a personal typology of graphemes drawn from a shared reservoir of the Franco-Belgian bande dessinée tradition, where one can find a variety of comics proto-memes, metanarrative devices, paratextual elements and building blocks of the European BD.

Keywords : mash-up; comics materiality; ontography; bande dessinée; appropriation..
