Comics and Culture: Source Evaluation
I found an academic source by Arthur Berger through Google Scholar named Comics and Culture.
Session Date:
14/12/17
Resource Used:
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.0022-3840.1971.0501_164.x by Arthur Berger.
Brief Summary/Description of Source:
Comics and Culture discusses the negative attitude that has been taken towards comics within society, viewing them as a 'lesser' piece of media, and argues against this.
What Was I Hoping To Find Out?:
I was hoping to understand how attitudes towards comics have changed over time.
Brief Summary of What I've Learnt From the Source:
I learnt how the popularisation of comics provided entertainment and laughter in bleak times, and how Berger believes they shaped American culture.
Reliability of the Source:
Due to the fact that this is an academic source from a published book, I think the source is extremely reliable. However, it was written in 1971, so I must be wary of how attitudes have been changed today.
What Next?:
I can use this to show my students how comics have had rising levels of importance in the world over time, in order to explain that creative subjects are worth investing in.
