AbstrakPenelitian ini hendak mengkaji fungsi-fungsi dokumenter dalam karya fotografi yang divisualisasikan berdampingan dengan gambar-gambar komik dalam sebuah novel grafis berjudul ‘The Photographer: Into War-Torn Afghanistan with Doctors without Borders’.  Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mencari tahu apakah nilai dokumenter karya foto bisa tetap diapresiasi layaknya foto dokumenter ataukah ada peralihan fungsi ketika dua jenis piktorial disandingkan bersamaan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan untuk menganalisis adalah metode kualitatif yang menganggap bahwa setiap petunjuk adalah penting untuk dianalisis.  Kemudian potongan-potongan informasi yang didapat dikaji dengan pendekatan fotografi dokumenter. Diharapkan hasil penelitian ini dapat memberikan kontribusi dalam ranah ilmu kajian fotografi sekaligus kajian komik (comic studies). Dalam ranah fotografi, fotografi dokumenter akan makin ‘berbicara’ dan memaksimalkan fungsinya ketika terbantu dengan teks piktorial lain. Untuk ranah kajian komik, hadirnya citraan fotografi justru akan memperjelas pesan yang hendak disampaikan kepada khalayak melalui gambar-gambarnya. Kata kunci: jukstaposisi, fotografi, novel grafis, dokumenter    AbstractJuxtaposition of Photography in a Graphic Novel Titled ‘The Photographer’. This research studied the documentary function in photography works visualized side to side with the comic drawings in a graphic novel titled ‘The Photographer:Into War-Torn Afghanistan with Doctors without Borders’. The aim of this research was to find out whether the documentary photographs are still appreciated as they are, or there are any changes of function when those two pictorials are juxtaposed. The method employed in this research was qualitative method which considered that each clue was important to be analyzed.  Then, each of them would be studied using approaches from the view point of documentary photography.  The result of this research hopefully could give a contribution to the photography studies and comic studies. Photographs will ‘speak louder’ and will have their greatest value when supported by other kind of pictorials.  While in comic studies, the photographs will be able to send messages better through their drawings when juxtaposed with photographs. Keywords:  juxtaposition, photography, graphic novel, documentary

The thesis is that the graphic novel operates according to a logic of inversion, a very particular volte-face in which the anti-apparatus of the mask institutes a politics of impersonality. The idea as non-person. The comedy of the comic, the commedia dell’arte of the mask, the anti-apparatus of proliferated impersonality, the theatrics of belonging to the community of those who do not belong, becomes the driving figure of the film and even more so, of its afterlife, its viral and political role in resistance from Wall Street to Wollongong, Brazil to Bahrain, Harlem to Hong Kong. The film arrives as the fulfillment of the graphic lore, uniquely mobilizing comic studies as a praxis, making a movie that moves the comedy of depicting the person, the caricature of the cartoon, on to the streets.

The Exploration of Visual Juxtaposition in a Graphic Novel titled ‘The Photographer’. Comic as a story book full of drawings is now popular under the name of graphic novel, which in its development begins to vary.  A graphic novel titled ‘The Photographer: Into War-Torn Afghanistan with Doctors without Borders’ presents two types of pictorial texts, which are drawings in comic styles and photographic works.  The study of this graphic novel aims to explore the visual juxtaposition of the comics and photographs by establishing the graphic novel as the narrative medium in delivering the message and context as well as how they intertwine with each other since there are two types of pictorial texts.  The development of technology in photography has made it possible to actuate photography juxtaposed with other visual media which have come to popularity in advance, to blend, and to combine a unique and specific narrative combination.  The method employed in this research is a qualitative method that believes in a holistic reality as a result of a construction of comprehension of case by case since the characteristic of each case is different one to another. Besides that, the multimodal discourse is also employed as an approach proportionally to evaluate the effectiveness of the message and the contextual meaning of its visual juxtaposition. Therefore, the result is expected to bridge over the understanding of various visual texts given sequentially by using the approach of multimodal discourse as the instrument for an effective communication in enhancing the visual literacy.  ABSTRAKKomik sebagai sebuah buku cerita bergambar yang kini lebih dikenal dengan istilah  novel grafis, makin hari makin berkembang keragamannya.  Dalam sebuah novel grafis yang berjudul The Photographer: Into War-Torn Afghanistan with  Doctors without Borders disajikan dua jenis teks piktorial, yaitu dalam gambar komik dan karya foto.  Pengkajian novel grafis ini akan mencoba mengeksplorasi jukstaposisi visual yang berupa gambar komik dan hasil karya fotografi dengan menempatkan novel grafis sebagai media naratif dalam menyampaikan pesan dan makna serta menilik saling keterkaitannya satu sama lain dengan munculnya dua ragam jenis teks piktorial.  Perkembangan teknologi dalam dunia fotografi membuat fotografi mampu menyandingkan diri dengan media visual lain yang lebih dahulu populer, melebur dengan saksama, dan menciptakan kombinasi naratif yang unik dan spesifik. Metode yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan prinsip bahwa suatu realitas yang bersifat menyeluruh adalah sebagai hasil konstruksi dari pemahaman terhadap kasus per kasus karena sifat suatu masalah yang satu berbeda dari yang lain.  Selain itu, pendekatan kajian dengan multimodal discourse juga akan diaplikasikan untuk meninjau efektivitas pesan dan pemaknaan jukstaposisi visualnya. Dengan demikian, hasil analisis diharapkan akan membantu menjembatani  pemahaman teks visual yang hadir secara beragam secara sekuensial dengan pendekatan wacana multimodal sebagai upaya komunikasi yang efektif dalam meningkatkan literasi visual.

This article responds to the call for a deeper theoretical and methodological exchange between the disciplines involved in geohumanities research and proposes comic books as an environment for interdisciplinary, geo/cartographical and literary critical research practice. The analysis considers the emerging field of ‘comic book geographies’ and suggests a further opening to ‘comic book cartographies’. Hence, by referring to the ‘spatiocentred’ approaches emerging in literary theory and criticism, I propose a ‘geocritical’ and ‘cartocentred’ reading of comics to explore the ‘cartographies of the comic book’. I individuate the peculiar map-like features of comics’ spatial grammar to interpret the comic book as both a cartographer and a map. Moreover, taking into account the recent shift in cartographic theory towards an ‘emergent cartography’, I propose an ‘ontogenetic’ understanding of comics as maps. Through both their representational and non-representational map-like features, comics are intended ‘as always mappings’, providing the author/reader with a truly mapping experience. The analysis of the exemplary case study of City of Glass, the graphic novel transposition of Auster’s novel by Paul Karasik and David Mazzucchelli, counts as a first attempt to propose a ‘cartocentred’ reading of the cartographies inserted within and emerging from a comic book. This article suggests that a ‘cartocritical’ reading of comics could provide comic studies, cultural geography and literary theory with new insights, as well as cartographic theory with an unexplored laboratory to keep on ‘rethinking maps’ from an ‘emergent’ perspective.
