Ian Hornsby is a senior lecturer in the department of Theatre at the University of Chichester where he lectures on critical and cultural theory on both the postgraduate and undergraduate programmers.

His research interrogates the methods through which comic art can be used to present complex philosophical thoughts. Not only the elucidation of existing philosophical and critical concepts; but also, the unfolding of fresh conceptualizations expressed through a medium other than the written word in isolation. His work explores the relationship between philosophcal thinking and sequential narratives, focusing upon aspects of acting and performance within visual storytelling.

  • A Call for Papers (last edited: 2017) author(s): Ian Peter Hornsby This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
    This exposition is Part One of a two part practice led research project. Part One as you will see is a provocation to myself and other academic researchers. The words are my adaption from the original Russian text written in 1901, first published in 1902, and then republished in 1907, of a text entitled: 'What Is To Be Done' by Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov. The images are all my own work. I am not a professional artists, merely a cultural theorist who is keen to practice, and to learn, as much as possible about the craft of cartooning, comics, sequential art, narrative and politics. Part Two, which will follow this exposition in 2017, will be a written document bringing together comments from Research Catalogue members and others. (If you would like to make comments I would be grateful for any response you may have in regard to your reading of 'A Call for Papers' and in whatever form you may choose to make your comments in.) This second section of this project will be an elucidation of my own research and reasons for making this piece alongside a dialectic engagement with any comments I may receive.
