       Persepolis - textual features

Slide 1 - Tekstslide

Postmodernism
Postmodernism sees history as something that was socially constructed, determined by signifying practices. Deconstruction holds that there are many truths and that there are ‘no grand narratives*’ or a single unifying ‘Truth’.
Histories are shaped by those in power, they are skewed. Postmodernism favours local narrative as alternative. The accounts of events coming from marginalised are more close to real history. In Persepolis, we see a girl Marji who actually existed in history, was marginalised by Revolution in Iran, the story coming from her is her actual experience. In this way Marji questions the established history textbooks that portray Iran or East as threat or danger in Western discourse. She gives a totally different apparent in Persepolis, that Iran is not all about fundamentalism or terrorism.

Black and White in Persepolis
Firstly, black and white portrays the stark contrast between the east and the west and between Iran and the western world. Marji was always caught between the two worlds and in the graphic narrative, this is often portrayed in the way that Marji chose to dress – either in the burqa with the veil or in western clothes. Secondly, black could represent power and authority. In the graphic narrative, black tends to portray darkness, sadness, depression, dominance and difficult times that Marji and her family went through. White, on the other hand, represents peace, happiness, freedom and religion.
Lastly, Persepolis is written in the eyes of a young girl that knows either good or bad. The two colours are used efficiently to represent this judgement, where white represents the good and black represents the bad.

A splash or splash page is a large, often full-page illustration which opens and introduces a story. Often designed as a decorative unit, its purpose is to capture the reader's attention, and can be used to establish time, place and mood.

A speech balloon or speech bubble is a speech indicator, containing the characters' dialogue.
Emotions can be expressed by the shape of the balloon—spiked balloons can indicate shouting, and "dripping" balloons can indicate sarcasm.
In a caption, words appear in a box separated from the rest of the panel or page, usually to give voice to a narrator, but sometimes used for the characters' thoughts or dialogue.
