How can memory studies contribute to the analysis of comic book visual language?

Memory studies can make a valuable contribution to the analysis of comic book visual language by uncovering the ways in which memory, both individual and collective, shapes the reader's understanding and interpretation of comic narratives. By drawing on theories and concepts from memory studies, researchers can explore how visual representations in comic books trigger and evoke memories, creating emotional connections and attachment to the story. Furthermore, memory studies can shed light on how comic narratives use visual cues, such as recurring symbols or motifs, to engage readers' memories and establish a sense of continuity and coherence within the story. This interdisciplinary approach, combining memory studies with the analysis of comic book visual language, has the potential to provide a deeper understanding of the medium, its impact on readers, and its ability to shape and preserve cultural memory.
