Sensing/Scrolling/Scanning Comics: media materialities, narrative modalities, and perceptual affordances
This article aims to examine the theoretical question of sensory and narrative regimes put into operation by the experience of webcomics. Starting from a critique of the precept according to which changes in supports cause a necessary change in reading regimes, a more adequate status to the notion o...

Cet article vise à examiner la question théorique des régimes sensoriels et narratifs mis en œuvre dans l’expérience des webcomics. En se fondant sur la critique du précepte selon lequel tout changement de support entraînerait une nécessaire modification des régimes de lecture, il s’agit ici d’associer à la notion de modalité un statut plus adéquat — dans son application aux structures narratives et aux dynamiques perceptives de l’expérience de la bande dessinée. En identifiant une communauté hypothétique entre les matérialités imprimées ou numériques des bandes dessinées, cet article conclut que leurs modalités narratives et sensorielles ne se réduisent pas à de tels profils médiatiques, mais à quelque chose que les versions modales de la narratologie désignent comme « modalité » (chez Genette) — ou que certains aspects de la psychologie visuelle définissent par l’idée d’« affordances » perceptives (chez Gibson). |

This article aims to examine the theoretical question of sensory and narrative regimes put into operation by the experience of webcomics. Starting from a critique of the precept according to which changes in supports cause a necessary change in reading regimes, a more adequate status to the notion of modality is recovered here—in its application to the narrative structures and perceptual dynamics of the comic book experience. Identifying a hypothetical community between printed or digital materialities of comics, this article concludes that their narrative and sensory modalities are not reduced to such media profiles, but to something that modal versions of narratology designate as “modality” (in Genette)—or that aspects of visual psychology define by the idea of perceptual “affordances” (in Gibson). |
