Marjane Satrapi – An Analyst of Mentalities

Summary/Abstract: In the present article, I explore a number of aspects pertaining to the esthetics and the poetics of the graphic novel through an analysis of Marjane Satrapi’s novel. Broderies, a novel of mentalities, a novel illustrative for revisiting gender stereotypes, but also ethnical, racial, and cultural ones, becomes exemplary of the genre it pertains to, even if the author had already written another masterpiece, Persepolis, which established the characteristics of the genre. The novelistic Ekphrasis adds another layer to the narrative of emancipation, a narrative that recovers the traditional forms of the witness-told stories, frame stories so characteristic of oriental literature.
