Artworks and graphic novels tell their own special narrations, read in an associative-speculative manner. The retelling of personal and collective experiences generalizes everyday knowledge into experiential knowledge. However, this generalization does not happen automatically, as many different interests and desires attempt to play a prominent role. Far from all these roles allow the core ideas of everyday knowledge to speak for itself.
To discover where we can firmly stand behind the visual language of experiential narrations, we examined Franco-South African art and graphic novels.
Many thanks to Philippe Bousquet, Solam&Kiki Mkhabele, Robert&Amelia Grenoble, Thonton Kabeya, Sello Malebye, Bob Dylan + the philofictional slash photofictional reflections by the French non-philosopher François Laruelle. They all contributed to things that helped to get a better grasp of generalizing-from-the-bottom.
