Coming of age through bande dessinée: An interview with Michel Kichka
No full text This interview with Belgian-Israeli graphic novelist and political cartoonist Michel Kichka covers his growing up in Belgium during the Golden Age of bande dessinée. The author discusses his early readings and influences, as well as the development of his own career in teaching and drawing. The discussion focuses in particular on the creation and publication of his graphic novels Deuxième Génération [Second Generation] and Falafel sauce piquante [Falafel with Spicy Sauce], published in 2012 and 2018. These works foreground essential questions about Kichka's experience as a second-generation Holocaust survivor and about his relationship with Israel. Taking an international perspective, the interview sheds further light on the emergence of the comics medium in Israel and the transnational reception of Franco-Belgian bande dessinée. It also considers Kichka's work and engagement as a political cartoonist. Interview conducted via email, following Michel Kichka's keynote at the “Tradition and Innovation in Franco-Belgian bande dessinée” conference. </p
Psychoemotional Rehabilitation and Social Adaptation of Patients with Thermal Injuries
Full text linkThermal injury, or as it is more commonly known, a burn, is generally characterized by a loss or disruption of the functions of the covering tissue. This is a specific type of severe injury, in which most often the patient falls into a state of traumatic and mental shock. Psychological problems resulting from burns most often range from low mood, loss of activity, and loss of self-confidence and self-respect to severe depressive states, suicidal thoughts, and suicidal actions. The current research is related to the outline and systematization of the practical activity of the psychologist, the ways of intervention, and his participation in the whole healing process. Objective: To propose a model of psychological counseling related to burns and severe thermal injuries in the specific conditions of the hospital environment to support the psychoemotional rehabilitation and social adaptation of patients. The healing process includes surgery, bandages, physical therapy, and movement and recovery procedures. Often, the psychological problems, resistances, and inhibitions encountered during the stay and treatment in the clinic are great. Here, attention will be paid to the main moments of the psychologist's work, taking into account the specifics of the hospital environment, the nature of the trauma, and the medical procedures. The proposed model for the organization of psychological work allows for good control over problematic situations that arise as a result of trauma and during the treatment process. It outlines the framework of psychological activity, but its practical application would be impossible without the cooperation and participation of the entire staff of the clinic
Second Generation: the testimony in comic book genre
No full textThis article aims to analyze the comic book Second Generation: The things I didn't tell my father by Michel Kichka, with the aim of analyzing some characteristics that make up the work such as: It is literary genre, which is the comic book, the Arbiter testimony which is a less recognized type of testimony and very present within history, analyzing the work observing some layers and depths that the author wrote some explicitly and others implicitly, and for this we resort to works by various authors, from Cunha (2013) and Kelley (2009) who tell how comic books have developed to the present day, Samento-Pantoja (2019) whose work is focused entirely on the Arbiter Testimony, in the analysis of the work we see how Flack (2015) commenting on some layers of the story and at the end of the work We have final conclusions that aim to make a small reflection on everything presented in this article and how challenging it is to talk about the Second Generation.Este artigo visa analisar a história em quadrinho Second Generation: The things I didn't tell my father de Michel Kichka, tendo como objetivo analisar algumas características que compõe a obra como: O seu gênero literário que é história em quadrinho, o testemunho Arbiter que é um tipo de testemunho menos reconhecido que está muito presente dentro da história, fazendo uma análise da obra observando algumas camadas e profundidades que o autor escreveu algumas de forma explícita e outras de forma implícita, e para isso recorremos a trabalhos de variados autores, desde Cunha (2013) e Kelley (2009) que contam como as histórias em quadrinhos se desenvolveram até os dias atuais, até Sarmento-Pantoja (2019) que tem sua obra focada inteiramente em testemunho Arbiter, na análise da obra vemos como Flack (2015) comentando a respeito de algumas camadas da história e ao final do trabalho temos as considerações finais que visam fazer uma pequena reflexão a respeito de tudo que foi apresentado nesta artigo e o quão desafiador é falar de Second Generation
Adaptation And Integration Of Children, Suffered Thermal Injury To The Children's Establishments (Nurcheries And Kindergarten)
Full text linkIn medicine, a burn is defined as a type of skin trauma caused by heat, electric current, chemicals or radiation. Burns are the third leading cause of childhood trauma death and account for nearly 1/3 of all burns in the country in a calendar year. They not only affect the body physically, but have long-lasting psycho-emotional, functional and aesthetic consequences. Physical and psychological general and local consequences require long-term follow-up, rehabilitation and permanent surgical interventions. Nurseries and kindergartens are places where children of a certain age spend most of their daily life. These are also the places for training, acquiring knowledge, skills and certain habits for the respective age. But sometimes this is impossible or extremely difficult if the child has some problem. After thermal trauma, these are mostly physical and psychological problems. Problems with the child's adaptation and integration with other children in the group.The aim: To analyze the opinion and evaluation of teachers in nurseries and kindergartens about their readiness to work, if necessary, with children who have suffered thermal trauma for their better adaptation and integration among children's groups to improve their quality of life and achieve educational competencies .Materials and methods: The study was conducted among 57 teachers in 5 kindergartens. The opinion of the staff in the children's facilities and their willingness to work with children who suffered thermal trauma was studied. A documentary method and a survey of data on burns in children were applied. Data processing was performed using the SPSS11.0 statistical data processing package.Results and discussion: The study was conducted among teachers - pedagogues and nurses in nurseries and kindergartens on the territory of the city of Varna in 2023. The most numerous group of respondents /16/ has work experience between 1-5 years. In this interval of work experience, respondents in the age interval 31-40 years predominate - 9. A non-parametric coefficient of contingency was calculated in order to detect dependencies between two categorical variables (factor and result). The role of teachers is extremely important, because the child placed in this environment perceives the teacher as his closest, replacing the parent. After the completion of the medical measures, the adaptation of the children to their normal way of life follows. The family and school environment is now important here. The social adaptation of children and their integration into society should also be carried out by other specialists - rehabilitators, pedagogues, psychologists. In children's institutions, work and behavior models have been developed according to the requirements for the respective age, and very often individual plans for working with children with disabilities are developed, taking into account the degree of trauma and the type of disability. In some countries, there are separate centers for the recovery of children with physical disabilities after thermal trauma.Conclusion: Adaptation and re-adaptation are complex processes. Complex, not so much to explain as to experience, to experience. And regardless of the fact that all people are different - with feelings, attitude, upbringing - they should work in the direction of a better future for the children, whatever problems they may have. Because the only thing they need is the opportunity to lead a dignified and quality life
Representation of Holocaust survivors and their descendants in graphic novels : similarities and differences in portraying personal history based on comics by Spiegelman, Kichka and Lemelman
No full textIn dieser Arbeit wird untersucht, wie die „Überlebendengeneration“ des Holocaust, beziehungsweise die „Zweite Generation“, in Graphic Novels repräsentiert wird, und wie sich persönliche Geschichte, als auch der Holocaust, unterschiedlich darstellen lässt. Im genaueren geht es darum, wie diese Graphic Novels sprachlich, sowie auch grafisch, diese bestimmte Zeit in der Geschichte erzählt, was erzählt wird und was nicht. Für die Analyse wurden drei unterschiedliche Werke, die allesamt die Überlebenden des Holocaust sowie auch die Zweite Generation behandeln, herangezogen. Zum Ersten wurde Art Spiegelmans Werk MAUS (1991) genutzt. Das zweite Werk war Martin Lemelmans Mendel’s Daughter – A Memoir (2006). Das letzte und abschließende Werk stellte Michel Kichkas Zweite Generation – Was ich meinem Vater nie gesagt habe (2014), dar.Der theoretische Teil dieser Arbeit befasst sich mit der Begriffserläuterung und Geschichte des Comics sowie dem Grundgerüst für das grafische Analysieren eines Comics. Kerngebiete der Traumata von Holocaustüberlebenden, als auch Traumata der Zweiten Generation, werden hierbei ebenso beleuchtet. Der analytische Teil untersucht im Anschluss daran, welche Gemeinsamkeiten oder auch Unterschiede die drei Werke in Themengebieten wie autobiografische Aspekte, ihrer grafischen Erzählweise als auch Darstellung der Traumata in den Geschichten aufweisen. Obwohl diese drei Werke in zeitlich unterschiedlichen Abständen zueinander entstanden sind, so haben sie doch alle etwas gemeinsam: die Tatsache, dass sich die Autoren eingehend mit der Geschichte ihrer Eltern, die der Überlebendengeneration des Holocaust angehören, beschäftigen und diese grafisch als auch erzähltechnisch mit ihren eigenen Traumata verflechten.This paper examines the representation of the survivor generation of the Holocaust and their descendants in graphic novels as well as the possibility of a varied depiction of personal history and the Holocaust. To what extent graphic novels are able to represent that certain time in history linguistically as well as graphically, will be investigated thoroughly. Three different works were considered for the analysis, which all deal with survivors of the Holocaust as well as their descendants. First of all, Art Spiegelman’s MAUS (1991) was used for the analysis. Second, Martin Lemelman’s Mendel’s Daughter (2006) was exploited for this paper. Lastly, Michel Kichka’s work Zweite Generation (2014) was used for the analysis.The theoretical part of this paper contains not only the definition and the history of comics, but also a solid scaffold for the graphic analysis of comics. An investigation into traumas, experienced by Holocaust survivors as well as by their descendants, will be made too. Following this, the analytic part of this paper explores the similarities and differences of the stories in these three graphic novels in terms of autobiographic aspects, graphic narration and depiction of traumas. Despite the fact, that the books deviate from each other concerning their publication dates, they all have something in common: namely the fact, that every single author devoted himself to their parent’s history, which deals with being a Holocaust survivor, and tried to intertwine their traumas with their own traumas both graphically as well as linguistically.vorgelegt von Tamara TimischlAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung des Verfassers/der VerfasserinZusammenfassungen in Deutsch und EnglischDiplomarbeit Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz 2016 1.12
