We should recall that the agent of graphiation, which we discussed in Chapter 4 in the case of “cinematographiation,” is the particular enunciative agent that deploys the graphic material that makes up the monstration of the graphic novel and reflexively imparts to it the imprint of its singular creativity, the mark of its own style. See Philippe Marion, Traces en cases: Travail graphique, figuration narrative et participation du lecteur (1993), 30ff.

The graphiator is the agent responsible for the graphiation. See also Marion, Traces en cases.

A term used by Pierre Fresnault-Deruelle to underscore the legibility of the clear line, which conveys “only what tells (or is the most telling).” Pierre Fresnault-Deruelle, Hergéologie: Cohérence et cohésion du récit en image dans les aventures de Tintin (2011), 16.

Spielberg’s presentation of the film to journalists in Paris, July 20, 2011. Broadcast on the second French-language Belgian television network, RTBF.

On this topic, we refer the reader to André Gaudreault and Philippe Marion, “Transécriture et médiatique narrative: L’Enjeu de l’intermédialité,” in La transécriture: Pour une théorie de l’adaptation, ed. André Gaudreault and Thierry Groensteen (1998), 31–52.
