Using Rhetorical Analysis With Participant Comics

This dataset is designed for teaching the analysis of comics that have been created by research participants. These data are provided by Sarah McNicol from Manchester Metropolitan University’s Education and Social Research Institute (ESRI) and drawn from data collected as part of the “Graphic Lives: Telling Bangladeshi migrant women’s stories through graphic narratives” project. The example focuses on how rhetorical analysis can be used to analyse participant-created digital comics that incorporate both photographs and drawings, as well as text in one or more languages. The dataset file is accompanied by a Teaching Guide and a Student Guide.
