Guest Speaker at Firstival, A festival of firsts!

AuthorStu Blair

Thanks to the City of Marion Libraries in Adelaide, South Australia, for the invitation to speak at their festival event, Firstival, presenting excerpts of my thesis investigations of la bande dessinée franco-belge, specifically language, context, and stereotypes in period French and Belgian comic book literature and children's stories.

Stereotypes in comics can significantly impact global society by shaping perceptions and reinforcing cultural norms. My presentation included discussions on stereotypes, highlighting how comics reflect and influence societal views, potentially perpetuating stereotypes or challenging them to foster a more inclusive understanding of diverse cultures.

Special thanks to the Event Organiser, Jess Harris, for this beautiful post-presentation testimony!


I look forward to the next stage of my speaking tour in Canberra!

A Disturbance in The Force!

AuthorStu Blair

It has been a fantastic year of cinema presentations, with the final booking of the year discussing a disturbance in the force at the Palace Nova Eastend Cinema on December 2!

I had a fun time with the audience during my pre-screen presentation before the viewing of 'A Disturbance In The Force, How The Star Wars Holiday Special Happened', sharing personal anecdotes and historical facts about the franchise and its influence on global society.

Special thanks to the Palace Nova Eastend Cinema in Adelaide for the invitation to speak at the event, and for this wonderful testimony post-presentations in 2023!

Stuart is fantastic! Knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining. He’s an excellent addition to any lineup.
