Emma Vossen and I presented today. Emma's article was a section of Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud which worked well with Schneider's article because much of the mashup material used by Umberto in The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana are comics or cartoons.
SLIDESHOW
ABSTRACT (From Handout)
The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana is a ‘literary mashup’. Eco Umberto’s use of different texts in the novel is essential for the plot. The story unfolds through a retelling of songs, stories, magazines, and comics. In the novel, Yambo’s attempt to remember his past is completely tied to these sources which are written or created not by Umberto but previous authors, musicians, and artists
