This article relates a methodological experiment which took place prior to the fieldwork for a geography thesis. The interdisciplinary research team, made up of two geographers and an illustrator, conceived and tested several ways of mobilizing comics during life-trajectory interviews. The team has established the conditions in which the drawing tool can be of proven added value, exploring the concept of the “gutter”, the space between comic strip squares filled with implicits that the researcher must interrogate. Reflexive feedback is also provided on the limitations that led to the modification of the method, and the processing of the finished object at the end of the interviews.

By observing the beginnings of éditions Lounak, I will seek to capture this crucial moment when the parameters that determine the trajectory of the publisher are defined. To do this, I will focus on the “editorial act” carried out by Lounak, which is understood as “a situation of enunciation, not dissociated, but integrated into the text and which is expressed both in and through the visual materiality of the book only in the intellectual operations of its establishment and the paratextual elements which accompany it” (Our translation. Ouvry-Vial, 2007 : 77).

Comic strips are widely used to spread scientific knowledge to larger audiences. While they have been harnessed in several initiatives to popularize sociology, there is room to increase the collaboration between the two disciplines. Indeed, in social sciences, the comic strip can be considered a specific form of writing, comparable to and substitutable for classical text writing. Going beyond popularization, attempts to create a genuine drawn sociology become possible. Based on an experiment in which ethnographic observations were transcribed in a comic strip, the article describes how changing the medium used in reporting an investigation requires that the researcher make adaptations, whether it is as the author (new writing rules) or reader (required to decipher unusual information). By upsetting both writing and reading habits, the use of comic strips in scholarly texts therefore allows major reflexivity gains in each of the research's steps (data collection, analysis and reporting). More generally, this experiment raises questions regarding the interest of researchers in taking on the narrative dimension of their academic texts, particularly to ensure the understanding (and therefore evaluation) of their peers.

This article offers an analysis of Mark Beyer's post-underground comics series Amy + Jordan (an anthology of which was published by Pantheon in 2004). This series, which is both the portrait of a generation and a formal and narrative experiment hovering between figuration and abstraction, does not strike immediately as being utterly self-reflexive. However, the work constitutes a highly original contribution to the field of self-reflexivity in as much as the latter involves the reader's reading time, foregrounding not only the process of interpretation but also how the latter flows temporally.
