Doing Comics Literacy in
the Classroom
Lars Wallner
FACULTY OF EDUCATIONAL SCIENCES
This dissertation combines literacy, comics and discursive
psychology to investigate naturally occurring classroom
interaction, in which participants construct comics
literacy. Exploring concepts such as narrative structure,
literacy discourses, and comics literary devices, the
dissertation argues for establishing comics literacy as a
theoretical aspect of reading and designing comics in
educational practices. This contributes an important tool
for comics studies, as well as opening up a discussion
around comics as a material in schools.
