\"\"<\/a>Pedri, Nancy. A concise dictionary of comics. <\/em>Illust., Chuck Howitt. Jackson, MS: University Press of Mississippi, 2022. XII, 218 p. ISBN 978-1-4968-3805-6.<\/p>\n

El llibre que ens ocupa avui, A concise dictionary of comics,<\/em> \u00e9s un diccionari que recull termes relacionats amb el c\u00f2mic. La seva autora \u00e9s Nancy Pedri, professora d\u2019angl\u00e8s de la Memorial University of Newfoundland (Canad\u00e0) i autora de diverses obres i articles acad\u00e8mics relacionats amb el m\u00f3n del c\u00f2mic. El diccionari tamb\u00e9 cont\u00e9 il\u00b7lustracions de Chuck Howitt, periodista i il\u00b7lustrador; si voleu veure la seva obra, el trobareu a Instagram amb el nom d\u2019usuari @chuck_howitt_lease<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

El t\u00edtol ja ens avan\u00e7a gran part del que hi trobarem: una llista de m\u00e9s de mil termes ordenats alfab\u00e8ticament amb una definici\u00f3 clara, senzilla i breu. Aquesta brevetat en la definici\u00f3 respon a la idea de l\u2019autora que s\u00f3n termes adaptables a altres usos, extensibles i fins i tot redefinibles. No obstant, aix\u00f2 no \u00e9s tot el que cont\u00e9. La segona part del llibre, amb m\u00e9s o manco les mateixes p\u00e0gines que el diccionari, \u00e9s una llarga bibliografia de 96 p\u00e0gines que reuneix refer\u00e8ncies a llibres, cap\u00edtols de llibres, articles acad\u00e8mics i altres recursos rellevants i actuals. Finalment, hi trobarem un \u00edndex dels termes descrits ordenats per 9 grans grups tem\u00e0tics. Tot aix\u00f2 inclou 25 il\u00b7lustracions de Howitt que ajuden a comprendre algun dels termes descrits.<\/p>\n

No \u00e9s el primer diccionari tem\u00e0tic sobre el m\u00f3n del c\u00f2mic que es publica, \u00e9s f\u00e0cil trobar-ne d\u2019altres amb una cerca r\u00e0pida i en aquest mateix diccionari n\u2019hi trobem uns quants de referenciats. Per\u00f2 el que realment suposa una novetat \u00e9s que A concise dictionary of comics<\/em>, amb poc m\u00e9s de dues-centes p\u00e0gines, suposa una font d\u2019informaci\u00f3 exhaustiva, concisa i actualitzada sobre el m\u00f3n del c\u00f2mic, \u00fatil per a bibliotecaris, llibreters, investigadors, cr\u00edtics, alumnes i professors.<\/p>\n

Aix\u00ed i tot, tamb\u00e9 \u00e9s un llibre interessant i atractiu per a lectors corrents, com \u00e9s el meu cas, que simplement podem passar gust d\u2019obrir el diccionari per qualsevol p\u00e0gina i descobrir termes que no coneixem o saber quina \u00e9s la paraula que defineix, per exemple, un recurs, una tem\u00e0tica o un estil que hem pogut veure molts cops als c\u00f2mics, per\u00f2 que no sab\u00edem que all\u00f2 tenia un nom.<\/p>\n
