Includes bibliographical references (p. 139-143). This study contributes towards an understanding of the nature of sequential visual narratives, how different semiotic resources may be employed to construct a visual narrative and how sequence of images may be developed. Over the years, extensive research has been undertaken in the area of still images. However, the particularities of meanings made in sequential images remain relatively unexplored. The significance of the study is that it contributes towards an understanding of sequential narratives by proposing a metalanguage for manga. The term ‘manga’ refers to comics that originate from Japan and it is currently a trend in popular culture worldwide. 2015-01-10T06:38:52Z 2015-01-10T06:38:52Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11859 eng application/pdf Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
