Le voyage en direct

Abstract

The Graphic Novel is a genre that conveys the vividness of the stories by combining short writings and images following a precise textual logic. The Journal of Samia Yusuf Omar is an emblematic case involving a large archive of digital images as well as digital writing present in the narration for the creation of narrative text. The Graphic Novel Der Traum von Olympia. Die Geschichte von Samia Yusuf Omar by Reinhard Kleist tells us about the journey of the young Somali athlete, a symbol for young migrants around the world, which will end dramatically in the Mediterranean. The Graphic Novel focuses on the digital reconstruction of the Facebook Journal of Samia, the original of which is nowhere to be found.
