Furtwangler, Tom

Novela Health Education, Center for Health Education and Research, University of Washington, Seattle -- tomfurt@u.washington.edu -- Fotonovela Madness! http://weber.u.washington.edu/~tomfurt (mildly out of date) -- Phone/Fax: 800-677-4799 phone
Publications--Non-Comics-Related:  
Publisher of health education comics: Marco Aprende Como Protegerse-Urban Version (Condom Use); Celia Aprende Como Proteger Su Bebe (Pre-Pregnancy HIV Test) (Artist-Dean Haspiel); Your Newborn Baby (Artist-Leonard Rifas) -- Fotonovelas and fotopamphlets (Publisher, photographer, designer): Un Salvavidas! (Water Safety): Talking about Delirium; Talking About Depression; Talking About Dementia; You Are Not Alone/Ud No Esta Sola (Domestic Violence)
Conference Papers--About Comics:  
I regularly present a workshop at health conferences, introducing health educators to basic concepts of comic structure (a la McCloud), and critiquing a series of "Good, Bad and Ugly" health education comics slides. I've done it under varying titles at the National Migrant Health Conference, regional Migrant Stream Fora, The Pacific Northwest Society of Public Health Educators, and in Masters-level Health Communications classes at the University...
Research Interests, Current Projects (Comics and Otherwise):  
My primary "professional" area of interest is the adaptation of comics and fotonovelas to educational messages, primarily in health. I collect, research, and produce educational comics and fotonovelas, and spend much of my time working on promoting "edutainment" and "dramatic or 'novela' formats" and strategies for health outreach. My primary area of "personal" interest is fotonovelas as a format. I have one of the (as best I can discover) few American fotonovela collections, modest as it is, and I am on a path towards starting to create personal, self-published fotonovelas in a sort of mini-comix style. I (occasionally) maintain a fotonovela web page listed above.
Other Comments:  
I am the Program Manager of Novela Health Education, the country's only non-profit dedicated to creating and distributing health education media in the "Novela" or dramatic format. Our materials, primarily in Spanish, include comic books, fotonovelas, and dramatic videotapes, and present an engaging, consequence-based approach to health education. In addition to producting materials on our own and for clients nationwide, we distribute materials in these formats to clinics, hospitals and health departments through a mail-order catalogue.

Giguere, Denis

2412 de l'Eider St, Laval (Qc) Canada (That is, just north of Montreal) I work in a research institute, but not related to Art or Communications. -- giguere@cam.org-- (514) 288-1551 (work)
Publications--Non-Comics:  
Published papers in Ergonomics and in the OHS encyclopedia of the ILO
Conference Papers--Non-Comics:  
Communications at several conferences
Teaching--Non-Comics:  
Lectures in computer science and statistics, seminars on ergonomics at local universities and engineering schools.
Research Interests, Current Projects (Comics and Otherwise):  
Officially : On-going project deals with the manual-handling tasks of firefighters in relation to low-back problems. Personal interest and part-time : A work analysis of comic strip heroes; what do comic strip heroes do for a living? how do they perform their work? What are the risks they encounter? Does the virtual "immunity" of paper heroes has an influence on real-life behaviour? OK - OK this is just a draft. Right now, I am at the data collection phase, and I hope something interesting will come out of this. With a little luck, I should publish something about this in 3 - 5 years. Rate of papers in that domain should increase the closer I get to retirement (that is 10 - 15 years...)
Other Comments: I do voluntary work for a Community Radio station, CINQ-FM Radio Centre-ville Montreal at 102,3 FM (VERY LOW power transmitter), feeding the producer (Marc de Roussan) and animator (Bob Laplante) with interesting things I find on the Internet. Not so long ago, one had to wait for a Book fair or Comics fest to meet other people knowledgeable of Comics and Bande dessinee - now, with the Internet, this can happen on a daily basis. The name of our show is "Au pays des bulles" (and yes, it's in French, you just guessed it...). On the show, we evaluate newly released albums and conduct interviews with artists visiting Quebec on a personal or public-relation basis. We also had a survey of the 'best' albums, and we have other voluntary contributors that come to speak about Mangas, censorhip, mainstream and alternative English speaking comics and collecting. Interviewed personalities in 1997 were, for example: Sylvain Chomet (his album just won the grand prize in Angouleme), Nicolas Sabourin (best Tintin www site in the world), French rising star Lewis Trondheim, Mr. Theberge (director of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, about the Asterix exhibition), Ted Benoit (who revived "Blake and Mortimer"), Albert Uderzo (Asterix), Jean Toba, Brino Gazotti, Jacques Ferrandez, plus a cohort of local artists, and, not to forget, Guy Spielman of ICAF fame. I also distribute an approximatively weekly electronic newslewtter, "La liste des BeDeNautes", whose role is to share informations about the comics and bande dessinee scene in the Montreal area : a new underground comics issue, an exhibition, a famous author signing his/her work at a library or at a festival,....

I'm not currently involved in any official research (I begin my honours year in Philosophy in a month) however I am currently trying to formulate a framework or list of qualities that are important when designing and critiqueing comics, a thorough and practical diagnosis framework for social work particularly when looking at families, setting up a artificial society on my computer (instead of Alife, it's Asociety) and general philosophical essays but, from a general career and university point of view my main interest is in how experience changes the physiology of the human brain and whether and how, in cases such as children who have experienced traumatic events, the effects can be reversed of minimised..
Other Comments: My course is Liberal arts/Social work which basically boils down to psychology (I'm interested in developmental and neuropsychology), philosophy and social work.
