Maps feature prominently in Amy Kurzweil’s graphic novel Flying Couch and Sarah Glidden’s graphic novel How to Understand Israel in 60 Days or Less. Even though their texts address different topics, the two Jewish graphic novels make use of maps in similar ways. Both authors use maps to explore their own complex relationships with seminal topics in contemporary Jewish life. For Kurzweil, maps become a way for her to better understand the magnitude of her grandmother’s Holocaust experiences and to be better able to continue her legacy; for Glidden, maps become a way to concretize her shifting understanding of Israeli politics. I argue that maps play a seminal role in developing a more complex understanding of the events and challenges that shape each author’s life and experiences.

映射变革性空间:地图作为了解飞行沙发上的通过仪式以及如何在 60 天或更短的时间内了解以色列的工具

地图在 Amy Kurzweil 的图画小说Flying Couch和 Sarah Glidden 的图画小说《如何在 60 天或更短时间内了解以色列》中占有突出地位尽管它们的文本涉及不同的主题,但这两本犹太图画小说以相似的方式使用了地图。两位作者都使用地图来探索他们自己与当代犹太人生活中开创性主题的复杂关系。对于 Kurzweil 来说,地图成为她更好地了解祖母大屠杀经历的重要性并更好地继承她的遗产的一种方式;对于 Glidden 来说,地图成为了她对以色列政治不断变化的理解的一种具体化方式。我认为,地图在更复杂地理解塑造每位作者的生活和经历的事件和挑战方面发挥着开创性作用。
