III MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION OF RESEARCHERS ON SEQUENTIAL ART MAY 25th-27th 2017 Leopoldina / mg
CIRCULAR 1 PREAMBLE The EntreASPAS is a meeting promoted by the Association of Researchers on Sequential Art (ASPAS) with the objective of gathering associates, researchers, students every two years in the city of Leopoldina, headquarters of ASPAS. The ASPAS was constituted due to many researchers involved in the Sequential Art universe and the emergence of studies of several areas of knowledge that used comics as objects of their analysis. However, “sequential art” here is understood in a much more elastic sense than that one originally attributed by Will Eisner, also involving cinema, animations, and other formats of “sequential art”, although comics occupy a prime place in the discussion. In addition to being a scientific event, the EntreASPAS is also an administrative meeting, that is, part of the programming will be reserved for ASPAS internal issues, such as the general assembly of the association. Part of its programming will be focused on tables and debates about the future direction of ASPAS and the research on Sequential Art in Brazil.
