More Lessons from the Superheroes of J. C. Holz: The Visual Culture of Childhood and the Third Pedagogical Site

Abstract

When I published my account of “The Superheroes of J.C. Holz” (Wilson, 1974), I could not have imagined that the comics of one Iowa boy would shape so profoundly my thinking about children's images, the purposes of art and art education, narrative, popular visual culture, and my present theorizing about pedagogy. J.C.'s influence continues to feed my thoughts about kids and visual culture, about how art is woven into our lives, and about alternative conceptions of visual cultural pedagogy.
