Week Two:
According to Horricks (2004), how have perceptions of comics as a media changed?
Before I choose this ‘Popular Genre’ paper, I did not read any graphic novel or comics while I was in china. However, from the discovery about this Comics genre so far, I feel quite interesting about The Adventure about Tin tin`s comics, So I have download the ‘The Blue Tutor’s chapter of The Adventure of Tin tin. I found it is a quite attractive and claver comic to me. Also, rescored some history truth about china, this make me quite shocking and exciting. Which build me a confidence about the genre`s future. Because I remember while I was in china, Comics and graphic novel was forbidden in high school, because they were considered as waste of time for study.
I think this is the way most of new genre going through, as Horricks(2004) told us the perceptions of comics as a media have changed in New Zealand as well.However, not only NZ, but more or less the other countries as well. Because Horricks(2004) says In early 1950s there was a big influence concern in New Zealand about the comics on young people.
Later on, in second paragraph of this article Horricks(2004) again point out, things have changed. There are more and more people considered this genre is worth to discover in English and History department in Universities, such as, in America, Britain, Britain and New Zealand as well.
I like the way Horricks (2004) showing the ‘invisible art’ part in the article to describe as well, because this is the comprehensibly way to give reader a clear image in their head as well. The reader like me from another cultural aspect, because people have a differ understanding as well. Because I think the image is more helpful to build up the knowledge `s layout writer try to annotate to readers.
So, I think comics as a media will become more popular and acceptable in the future days for readers and also for discovery group like us doing, because I think this is a new type of media and full of knowledge to exploring. And somehow, which also can uses in education filed to help students understand things as well.

What does Baetons (2001) mean by ‘monstration’, ‘graphiation’ and the ‘graphiateur’’?
I agree the contribution that Neo-Walt have made for this question, because I have found the same answer, According to week two`s resources online Baetons(2001) have point out ‘monstration’ means where “the events are performed by the characters themselves in a situation in which the story seems to narrate itself, without any narrator’s intervention” the monstration was first uses by Andre Gaudreault while he was looking at film telling in films.
Also, from the reading online of this week, as Baetons(2001) `s definition for graphiation and graphiateur already clearly showed us, there it’s a relationship between graphiation and graphiateur. Graphiation works are produced or enunciated by graphiateur.

After I have looked the answer from Neo-Walt for this Week and also considered (Baetens, 2001) told us monstration it’s also a type of narration. The graphiation which it’s a non form from graphic, and the Marrion (Betate, 2001) have described that “graphiation” it’s the graphic and narrative enunciation of comics.
