Ong and Comics; Briefly Charting Synchronic and Diachronic History

Greetings T&T Historians,

Attached is the Google docs link to my chart and timeline of Ong, including a brief history of comics and graphic narratives. My chart and timeline (two separate documents) continues to evolve under my constant reformatting and review of Ong and the related research. Deciding what to include or not when writing is always difficult, but especially so when you are conscious of its historiography!

The varieties of charts and timelines posted below merit much study, as well as the oohs and aahs. I look forward to discovering new insights into Ong and thank you in advance for any and all feedback.

  2. Tricia,

    Very nice job on your timeline--you've assembled a very interesting chronology of the image-text relationship. And you worked in Bosch--good show!
    Several years ago in Dr. Pugh's Arthur class, we looked at some illuminated manuscripts in detail. The amount of information and even satirical commentary that was contained in the images was significant; the art allowed the scribes to "say" things they couldn't get away with in print. I can see how they would be related to the art-text of comics.

    I look forward to following your work--
    Marcy
