DESCRIPTION:An enormously influential presence in the alternative comics s
 cene of the 1980s and 1990s\, feminist artist Julie Doucet is known for a 
 rough style and taboo-breaking approach to mostly autobiographical subject
  matter that unsettle and disrupt misogynistic visual transitions associat
 ed with the representation of women in comics. After famously retiring fro
 m what she called the “boys’ club” of comics in the late 1990s\, Dou
 cet returned to graphic memoir in 2022 with Time Zone J\, an in every way 
 highly unusual book that is conceived according to a logic that is fundame
 ntally unrooted from existing modes of creating and understanding comics.\
 n\nIn this talk\, I argue that Time Zone J is a watershed work that forces
  us to reassess our understanding not only of the formal poetics and readi
 ng practices of the comics medium itself\, but also the established conven
 tions of how to represent time\, space\, and memory in graphic memoir—as
  well as in lifewriting more generally.\n
