In June, Ankerwechsel Verlag is publishing the graphic novel "Face with Tears of Joy" on the subject of emojis. What is behind these picture characters? Where do they come from? How do we use them? Are emojis diverse and democratic? And do they really work globally?
Author Karla-Jean von Wissel draws on history, linguistics and emotion research to explore a seemingly simple yet complex element of our everyday communication.
More insights into "Face with Tears of Joy" can be found here.
In addition to the comic reading, there will also be a discussion with Karla-Jean v.Wissel. Moderation: Sophia Henn.
The event is part of the "IndieStabi" series, in which a publisher from the List of Independent Publishers Hamburg (LuV) presents itself and its production on the third Wednesday of every month. A cooperation with the Hamburg State and University Library.
Admission is free.
The room in the Stabi is signposted directly at the main entrance.
