Comic Books, Women, and the Word of God: Adapting Jewish Texts with Feminist Significance into Graphic Novels
Tuesday, May 23, 2023 — 1pm (EDT)
Talia Hurwich
Comic book and graphic novel adaptations of the Bible and other holy texts have existed since the 1940s and as a medium are uniquely positioned to bridge a classic text with popular culture. In this session, Talia Hurwich will provide a brief overview of the breadth of comic book and graphic novel adaptations of the Bible and rabbinic writings. Starting with an introduction to this body of work, she will then share some of her work on how the medium can be used — and is used by Jewish Modern Orthodox adolescents — to navigate between contemporary and traditional conceptions of women’s roles in religion and society.
