Theorizing Graphic Embodiments: A Feminist Perspective
In response to the increasing politicization and polarization of discourses around gender, sexuality, and the body, feminist theorists like Judith Butler call for feminism to strive toward flexibility and responsivity. This essay lays out some of the theoretical considerations that inform studies of graphic embodiment—or studies of embodiment in graphic narratives—both generally and within feminist studies, then examines several graphic texts by Tillie Walden and Élodie Durand that exemplify feminist theories of embodiment, with particular attention to the creative co-construction of embodied narratives

Breakout Session: Transforming Feminist Motherhood through Graphic Imagery
Élodie Durand\u27s 2023 graphic novel, Transitions: A Mother\u27s Journey, follows a family through their struggles with a teenager\u27s gender transition. As Durand presents it, the person who changes the most is Anne, the mother of the transitioning teen. This beautiful and thoughtful comic uses space, color, and line to represent Anne s transition from angry skeptic to trans ally, providing effective models for speaking back to gender critical feminism (i.e., TERF thinking)
